why AstroBot deserved 2024 GAME OF THE YEAR

[@KindaFunnyGames]

Greg nailed this.

[@8SweetPotatoLattes]

Greg's roasting of SkillUp in particular had me cackling. Astro Bot is my GOTY and I love Greg Janet Andy and Alanah, y'all rule.

[@maraque16]

It genuinely seems like most, if not all, of the people who have actually *played* AstroBot say that the GOTY win was super deserved and most of the people complaining about the win have never touched it.

[@SetsunaF916]

Most of it was just delusional Black Myth fans. Astro Bot was never NOT the front runner for GotY.

[@al112v4]

@@SetsunaF916 No lol most, if not all, are gamers (trademark) who are either extremely obsessed over realism, difficulty and games being big in general. AstroBot is what Sony used to do pretty much near perfection during the PS1/2 era before the HD timeline sucked off all the fun that we had at the time and then companies like Naughty Dog started making less impressive products artistial wise.

[@UrsusDerpus]

That’s funny, because that’s exactly the same thing that happened with Balatro

[@AmiasCoa]

Even though I myself never played Astrobot, I'm still glad it won GOTY. It seems every game that comes out these days is an Elden Ring clone, or otherwise has some super-serious grimdark tone to it. Astrobot reminded us that games could just be some innocent happy fun. Thank you Astrobot for putting a smile on people's faces rather then showing them a million and a half ways to get their own guts pulled out of their asshole.

if a chicken learned to talk, it would sound like greg miller.

[@btbesquire5]

Greg Miller is SAVAGE 😂🔥💀

[@jessechristensen1074]

Poor Lucy horse legs 🐎

[@Rackstack234]

Janet killed it LOL

[@aaronwallis5545]

My personal fave for best game was also astrobot. It was clean and well presented, joyful to play and very assessible, which I find important as kids as well as smeely adult people can play it too. Yet there is a challenge there if you want it. It didn't crash, or stutter, it didn't have any technical issues. It was just a solid fun game a 41 year old man can sit back and enjoy without getting sweaty palms. Weirdly though, I played Space Marine 2 more.

[@Amouroso]

Alanah you and Andy have such a fun dynamic. Pls do more with him!!

[@raisklose6785]

Vintage Greg Miller

[@jaimedelrio2458]

This is Absolute Gregg

[@Rudykawa]

It does seem weird though having astrobot as goty and Mario never was.

[@evilbeardedman]

Greg is a legend.

[@gurjindersingh3843]

Some people are stupid enough to believe it's not the best family game or platforming game of 2024, GOTY is still subjective.

[@acidrain92]

Janet couldn't have explained the strengths of Astro Bot more perfectly. It's a generational title. Also, thank you! I'm near the end of FF7 Rebirth, and that game's plot is SO SLOW and unfocused most of the time. I loved Remake, but this one just isn't doing it for me. I think I just liked being in Midgar.

[@Sean.Turtles]

*I'm constipated*

[@Big007Boss]

Miller has quit the point, which is pointlessly funny

[@langleymneely]

Way to not show up Lucy! Lol

[@bradleyjohnstone3155]

JANET GARCIA LETS GOOOOOO

[@dblundz]

Torn between this and Helldivers 2. But I lean towards HD2. That game took over the internet for months, heck it’s back to producing memes and quality content since the recent update

[@WaffleCone927]

Thnx for sharing

[@langleymneely]

#GregSux lol

[@QueeferSutherlands]

Astro Bot was phenomenal and such a blast but DID NOT introduce a single new thing to the genre and didnt advance it in any way. Most of the overhype came from it's connection to playstation IPs. Im glad it won but by no means is it the greatest game of all that deserved to win compared to the rest.

[@samy29987]

What did any of the other nominees introduce to their genres and advance them? Please elaborate on each one. Balatro is the only one that takes the deck building style of gameplay and adds to it by mixing it with the roguelite genre. But all the others heavily takes from what came before. Wukong? FF7 Rebirth? Shadow of the Erdtree? Metaphor? All of them take from what came before, so....?

[@SeerMagicX]

Ug Greg Miller. Always a quick stop video.

[@gupler]

It didnt, just like black myth didnt, both those games were mid and generic rehash. Fun, but nothing in them that sets them apart as goty material.

[@Adamkilla9000]

Sorry to be random but Alana was in my dream last night for the first time ever

[@danilthorstensson8902]

Wow

[@ryanjohn3636]

Astrobot is a mixed bag The game's not for everyone more than not actually

[@gurjindersingh3843]

So are souls-like games and definitely 200-hour RPGs

[@serialkiller77]

Sorry but Metaphor was game of the year either that or Indiana Jones in my opinion are better
