I bought it on sale and it was cool but did not think it was anything special. Stopped after the 2nd world and didn't play again

How much it cost has nothing to do with this thread.

The best the industry had to offer this year was only touched by a small fraction of a small fraction of gamers.

Something is not adding up :usure:

How much it cost to make has nothing to do with the thread when your point is that it was a sales flop?

Yall wanna argue the “flopped” word to run away from the actual point of the thread :stopitslime:

You're the one that put it in the thread title.

End of the day it got the most votes from gaming outlets and fans. Voting is 90% those outlets and 10% fans but those groups are made up entirely of gamers.

And if 90% of the “influencers” talking about games are out of touch with the people playing games, then there’s some type of disconnect going on between how games are talked about online and how/which games people are playing.

Asobi just made a name for itself this year and Astro is an exclusive based around PlayStation ip, so the sales numbers aren't going to be as high the first go around especially since it dropped later in the year. They won GOTY off the quality of the art. It's like Godzilla Minus One winning a VFX Oscar with a fraction of other studios budgets.

Sometimes with games it's just about pure fun. This is a similar kind of GOTY to It Takes Two imo. How many people sit down to play couch co-op on a regular basis? But if you played it you can't say it didn't deserve it

It takes two was a new IP from an unknown studio and it sold lots more than astrobot.

Can’t think of any other game/movie/music/etc that was so far off in sales from media perception and hype.
