And you see that with the Star Wars fandom, you see it with all over, right? A few rotten apples in the barrel can really stink up the whole band.

They just want to play an action game. Even in the chat right now, I can see that some people are throwing their toys out of the pram already. They've been triggered because we've dared say this. You've proven my point right now. Yeah.

These are people who are more politically engaged, right? A lot of mainstream people aren't voting. They like games. They're not like, I must support this game. I must go out on a limb to do everything to tell people how great this game is. But the people that love

Like black myth or you know stellar blade or like games like this where there's like a very very die-hard fan base Those guys go out and they go out and vote right there like yeah. Yeah, I almost always made a mega Comparison, but like I mean you definitely don't want to open that fucking door Crowd that you're talking about.

Yeah, you're right. I already know I'm not looking at the YouTube comments for this episode because we have definitely triggered all the right people.

Yeah, you're right. I already know I'm not looking at the YouTube comments for this episode because we have definitely triggered all the right people.

And also, I'm not trying to take anything away from Black Myth. It is, by all accounts, a very, well, you said no, but, like, it is supposedly a very good game. If you're into, like, Soulsborne games, it's a good example of that.

I said, one game of the year. I was like, is it really that good? And you said no. So not good enough to be game of the year.

Sekiro Shadows Die Twice I guess games made by From Software like there's a tier of action game that I'm like oh this is a 10 out of 10 and Black Mith Wukong just wasn't that for me but it does do really cool things the backlash to Erdtree has been interesting to me as a neutral observer because I never really got into Elden Ring but like the year that it won it pretty much ran the table right like it was unopposed pretty much it just absolutely destroyed

And it was like, there was no controversy about Elden Ring winning all these awards. Everyone agreed that it was one of the best games.

Well, yeah, because that was the other one at the time. And yet to go from that, where there was so much goodwill and so much overwhelming consensus, to now the DLC, which I understand is very, very, very, very good as well.

right yeah now but to see that get nominated everyone goes swings hard the other way oh that's outrageous how dare you nominate that it's just because it's dlc i don't know where i stand on this it was interesting to see the pendulum swing back so hard the other way i'm somebody who i think before this whole conversation i was i've always been very much of the mind of like yeah dlc should be nominated for game of the year it's you know especially if it's substantial if it's impactful if it's legitimately as good as standalone games yeah why not
