Golden Joystick Award, as one of the important awards in the global game industry, has a high influence and popularity, and has been known as the "Oscar of the game industry" over the years. What is unique about it is that the award results are determined entirely by public voting, which makes the award not only represent the authority of the industry, but also highlight the voices and preferences of players. Since its establishment, the Golden Joystick Awards have gradually expanded from a platform focused on computer games to cover electronic game consoles and multi-platform games, becoming one of the most comprehensive game industry awards.

The annual Golden Joystick Award Ceremony attracts game developers and enthusiasts from around the world, witnessing the development and innovation of games over the past year. In the 2024 awards season, the domestic game " Black Myth: Wukong ", as a highly anticipated stand-alone game, was only nominated for the Best Visual Award, which triggered widespread discussion and speculation.

Since the development of "Black Myth: Wukong" was announced, it has become the focus of global game enthusiasts due to its profound cultural heritage and attractive visual effects. This game is based on the ancient Chinese mythology "Journey to the West" and combines it with the power of modern technology to create a lifelike fantasy world. From the release of the game trailer to the actual playing experience, players have praised the picture quality and artistic design of "Black Myth: Wukong".

Whether it is detailed character modeling, smooth motion capture, or vast open world scenes, they all demonstrate the superb technology of the development team. However, despite its near-impeccable visual presentation, many players were surprised that Black Myth: Wukong failed to receive more nominations or wins in other categories at the Golden Joystick Awards.

Some people believe that the selection of game awards sometimes does not fully reflect the true value of a game. After all, there are often differences between selection criteria and players' personal feelings. For "Black Myth: Wukong", although its visual effects have been praised, it may not have met the judges' expectations in other aspects, such as story telling, game mechanics and innovation.

Even so, the game's popularity among the player community has shown that its commercial and cultural success is beyond doubt. Some players even believe that awards are not the only criterion for measuring the success of a game. "Black Myth: Wukong" does not need to rely on awards to prove its excellence.

Some players also pointed out that the selection results of the Golden Joystick Award are actually more of a reflection of market trends rather than a decisive evaluation. Some winning titles may excel in certain aspects, but may not please all players. In contrast, works like "Black Myth: Wukong" that rely on local culture and have received huge response in the global market have still won widespread recognition and support even if they have not won multiple awards. As these netizens said, the existence of awards is only a guide for many players, helping them discover some masterpieces that they may have missed, but it does not replace their personal preferences and feelings.

Of course, no matter what the awards, the final decision on whether a game is successful or not will always be the support and love of the players. "Black Myth: Wukong" shows not only the combination of technology and art, but also a manifestation of cultural confidence. In the global game market, domestic games are gradually emerging and becoming an important force that cannot be ignored. Although "Black Myth: Wukong" failed to shine at the Golden Joystick Award, its future potential is undoubtedly unlimited.
