Black Myth: Wukong Fans Swing at Swen Vincke Speech, Review Bomb Baldur's Gate 3

Unhinged losers

That's all that needs to be said.

Is it really that important to win the award compare to selling well and received positive receptions from gamers?

But i guess some gamers are just a sore loser huh 🙄

Nerdery at its finest

Maybe the translation was confusing to them 😵‍💫👀

What an embarrassing joke. They are probably following the lead of their CEO, or the devs crying when they didn't get their trophy.

Well it's good to see Chinese gamers are just as petty, inexplicably angry, and ridiculous as those of more prominent markets.

Welcome to the annoying, dysfunctional family, China! We have the best holidays.

Wukong was not that good for the mass amount of outcry at it not winning GOTY. It’s like what happened with Spider-Man 2 last year, but this time with the devs seemingly fanning the flames. Wukong shows such an inability for the average gamer to expand their horizons. They assume any 3rd person action adventure game with high fidelity visuals are the peak of experience, no matter if there’s better stuff that year.

Even as someone who would have preferred Metaphor to win GotY, can't help but be glad that VGA dodged a bullet by not awarding Black Myth Wukong GotY. I think the game's good but its community is another thing.

Are the PlayStation community the chill guys right now? Everyone else is in meltdown mode LOL.

I heard that Chinese players are upset because it his statement was mistranslated which completely misconstrued Vincke's message. Don't know how true it is but I hope that's what happened rather than gamers being gamers.

I don't have a PS5 yet but cannot wait to play Astro Bot. Looks so good.

I would rather be without such non-sense dribble in my newsfeed.

It is not news, and all it inspires (reading this) is intense dislike for Wukong, China and Chinese people.

Kind of a bizarre thing to do, since it wasn't Swen Vincke who decided the GOTY.

Whatever your grievance with a game may be, can we please stop with the review bombing tactic?! I actually depend on reviews to inform my purchases…

Again anytime you see a gamer say Audience reviews and Steam reviews are the only ones that matter, remember the bombing and counter-bombing fans will do.

Because they took it as an insult to their country when it didn't win GOTY. 😂

The country is filled with such extremists and people who play Genshin Impact would have experienced it.

@GymratAmarillo Its mostly the Ninty fans that have meltdowns about everything so its funny to read your response with your avatar.

But the PC masterrace is making a fast increase of snowflakes. To be fair they always had a chip on their shoulders.

Its a group of cheap and spitefull people if its not about someone being woke its about them not getting their way.

And the cheap part you can have the most expensive setup but still be to cheap to pay for your games somehow.

Also its the Chinese they always go mental about the smallest things a really unpleasant bunch. They boycot everything for the smallest things.

They are so nationalistic because of their total indoctornation that they cant be rational anymore.

Astrobot won cuz it was fun and u could literally not say anything negative about it every other game nomination had faults including my own goty ff7 rebirth

Vinke's words were clearly about the current state of AAA game development, a large part of which takes place in Western countries. Clearly something must've been lost in translation over in China.

This whole episode is another reminder of how pathetic the gaming community is in general, though.

I never payed much attention to Black Myth, it’s not my kind of game. But it’s all I hear about now after the game award.

@Drago201 Dont we all just want fun games now man i miss my Donkey Kong Country, Super Metroid, Mario Kart/World times.

My PS1 brought me a lot of fun to Legend of Dragoon, Legend of Legaia, Twisted Metal World Tour, Final Fantasy 7/8/9, Breath of Fire 4, Koudelka, Metal Gear Solid,Tenchu.

And yes im missing so many more fantastic small and big games.

Black Myth is fine, a good game, but not GOTY material, kind of overrated.

This year the real posibilities were astro, ff7r or ReFantazio

Also, the world need more games with such love like Astro, is a game that you can like it or not but you cant deny that every inch of the game is made with a lot of love and care.

That certainly is a choice...

Important to remember this vocal minority doesn't represent China or the Chinese. Just as our thin skinned idiots don't represent us. Idiots are universal.

The kind of disgusting behaviour you can expect from the Wukong fanboys. Ahh well let them get all angry and upset, they'll get over it.

To their credit, they’re not critiquing Bag3 for being ‘too woke’ - this is more the sort of silly pettiness we used to have, it’s almost nostalgic.

Well this is petty and childish. Guess China’s really getting into 2012 level nonsense.

At least they’re not review bombing every game that had a character cameo in Astro bot.
