I think Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and UAE kinda have infinite funds but I think Saudi Arabia are closer as they're making cartoons, movies, and have gaming studios under their investments.

I think with some short time the region will have some great studios and games. The way Saudi is investing in entertainment has been great, they just need to have a good strategy, the right people, not think money = success like MS and others do.

We should be moving on and talking about how Metaphor Re:Fantazio is not in the list because it deservers.

I know it missed the dealine for the Golden Joystick Award.

Yeap... reading the rules...
  • The game must have been released between November 11, 2023 and October 4, 2024 (when core 2024 voting begins).
But there are exceptions like the GOTY award can enter games until November 21.
  • Games released between October 4, 2023 (when public voting opens) and November 21, 2024 (the day of the awards) will be considered for our critically selected categories, plus the voted categories Ultimate Game of the Year, Best Lead Performer and Best Supporting Performer.

BTW Metaphor Re:Fantazio is in the Best Visuals category.

I'm maybe mistaking something here...
But you can't vote for GOTY yet.
The list and votes start on November 4.
You can only vote the sub categories for now.

So we don't have the GOTY list yet?

These tweet posted in the OP has not ideia of what they are talking lol

Sorry is that a positive or negative for Astro Bot?

Still think Astro Bot will get it because it’s a game for the masses.

Unless Metaphor or Rebirth scored outrageously more like Baldurs Gate 3.

Thinking Wukong is a top 6 GOTY is delusional. mid exploration, mid level design, mid gameplay.... it's a decent at best game with fancy graphics and art deign.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Dragons Dogma 2
Rise of The Ronin
Stellar Blade
Helldivers 2
Astro Bot



Silent Hill 2 excluded because it is a remake, despite it being new to me. Still fantastic though.
Honorable mentions
Tekken 8, Infinite Wealth, Balatro,


I am a big fan of Hashino and his team at ATLUS, Metaphor Refantazio will most likely replace either Rise of the Ronin or Helldivers 2 in the top 6.

Wukong is a decent game.... but it happens to be my least favorite game I have bought all year.

Just like Harry Potter, anti woke side wanted it to succeed to spite the Woke crowd, which Im happy Harry Potter sold so well and beat that woke cancel culture.
Something funny about that, the woke crowd you're referring to is a vocal minority, I know several of my trans friends bought the game, a ton of LGBTQ people bought the game as well. Most don't really care about JKR and recognize that buying the game doesn't make her any richer than not buying the game.

I mean my Wizarding School House is Ravenclaw and I even have it on my Twitter bio, sometimes anti-wokes get obsessed with something I say and go "hurr why do you have harry potter in your bio, Rowling hates [insert slurs]" and it makes me laugh at their failed attempts of making me mad.
