Gamers collide as Black Myth: Wukong and Astro Bot face off in this Reader's Feature about the clash of gaming fandoms.
Black Myth: Wukong has been the subject of much discussion and debate among fans, both positive and negative. One reader has noticed a growing rivalry between fans of Black Myth: Wukong and Astro Bot, and expresses concern about the lack of respect between the two camps. As someone who has followed the video game industry for many years, I can say that game awards often have a way of dividing fans and sparking heated arguments. This year, it seems that the main source of contention is between Black Myth: Wukong and Astro Bot, with a clear division between those who prefer one over the other.

Personally, I must say that I am a huge fan of Astro Bot and believe it to be the clear winner for Game of the Year in 2024. Its innovative design and ability to surprise and delight players make it a standout title on the PlayStation platform. Not only that, but it has also brought a much-needed sense of fun and joy to the sometimes dark and serious world of PlayStation. In my opinion, Astro Bot is not only the best game of 2024, but also the best PlayStation game since the critically acclaimed The Last of Us released on the PlayStation 3 in 2013.

On the other hand, we have Black Myth: Wukong, a game that has gained a devoted fanbase despite receiving mixed reviews from critics. While I admire the passionate following that Wukong has gained, I have also noticed a troubling trend among its fans. Many of them seem to dismiss Astro Bot as a mere children's game, which I believe is a narrow-minded view that ignores the hard work and creativity that went into crafting such an unforgettable game. Additionally, there seems to be a sense of entitlement among Wukong fans, as if their game should automatically win all awards despite its flaws.

In contrast, I have found that Astro Bot fans are generally more respectful and gracious towards Wukong's success. They are able to appreciate both games for their unique qualities and celebrate each other's successes. This positive and cheerful community, in my opinion, deserves recognition and reward in a world where negativity often dominates.

I believe that the reason behind the intense rivalry between Wukong and Astro Bot fans is rooted in the fact that Wukong is a challenging game, similar to the notoriously difficult Soulslike genre. This can lead to frustration and anger among players, causing them to see Astro Bot as a childish game and Wukong as a more mature and serious title. However, I urge Wukong fans to remember that success and recognition should not come at the expense of disrespecting other games and their fans.

It is important to keep in mind that game awards, while a cause for celebration, are ultimately just opinions and do not define the worth of a game. As readers, we have the power to decide how much importance we give to these awards and whether or not we choose to participate in the often toxic fanboy/fangirl culture that surrounds them. In the end, it is up to us to determine our own opinions and not let the opinions of others sway us.

In conclusion, while I congratulate Black Myth: Wukong for its success and devoted fanbase, I also urge its fans to show respect and appreciation for Astro Bot's achievements as well. Let's celebrate all the amazing games and developers that contribute to the video game industry, rather than creating unnecessary divisions and arguments. After all, gaming is meant to be a fun and enjoyable hobby, not a source of conflict and animosity.
