No Death Stranding is shitty but not surprising after their review but also no DMC V again but Pokemon? lmao

IGN announces Game of the Year 2019 nominees (Control, Disco Elysium, Pokemon, RE2, Zelda, etc.)

Keep in Mind they gave AC7 a 7 out of 10. It wouldn't be consistent with their review if they gave it a GOTY nomination. Although isn't there an IGN editor who posts on Era and has talked about how much he loves AC7? Skies Unknown is certainly one of my favorite games of the year but I'm not expecting it to get much love in GOTY talks.
I like the list for GOTY overall though. FE3H repping is pretty rad.
btw they didn't fully ignore death stranding. it's nominated for best ps4 exclusive, best music/score and best art direction.
This is kind of how I feel about it, especially after playing through Jedi Fallen Order after Death Stranding and seeing both of their IGN reviews.
Jedi Fallen Order was magnitudes of order more frustrating and I LOVE all three of the genres it blends. Fallen Order just happens to do all 3 of them not the best. Especially the combat. In general, while I enjoyed it, I just found the game to feel a little bit on the dull side of things.
bayonetta 2, smash 4, mario kart 8, and donkey kong country tropical freeze all came out in 2014
Because folks want Obsidian to succeed. Even though The Outer Worlds is now where close to their work in Fallout New Vegas. (Sadly...I wanted to love that game...but it just didn't happen).
Any list that includes Disco Elysium, Slay the Spire, and Fire Emblem (my personal top 3 of 2019) is okay with me.
Unlike last year that some people even created new Goty blogs just so their favorite game would win lol
Wow. It really has been a weak year. Pokemon and Zelda made the cut???? I would give the nod to Disco Elysium or Resident Evil 2.
Yeah and literally nothing else. As opposed to this year where at least we got some great games from everyone, not just Nintendo.
Totally missed that they also have Links Awakening on the list.
Jesus this got even worse with to all the other games that got the shaft.

I was in the same boat as you. Everything just felt flat. It reminded me of Farcry 5. A game that overall is done well but just had nothing that made it pop or feel special.
I think worse honestly. There isn't just one or two games people are rallying behind, it's a bunch of games so like this thread opinions are gonna clash a lot more than usual. I mean this thread is already brutal lol

The pattern I'm seeing emerge is that RE2 vs. DS vs. DMC V is gonna be this year's GoW vs. RDR2.
Just as insufferable. Just as entertaining.
Bring your popcorn, folks!
I know this is probably just a troll, but how do you look at that list of games and then put these words together in a sentence?
Swap Pokemon out for Astral Chain or maybe DMCV (I haven't played DMCV yet). Pokemon is good, but it ain't GotY material.
Hope Three Houses wins though. It's definitely the best IMO.

why are people surprised link's awakening made the list? it's an excellent game and had great critical reception from most publications.
Not really, I mean given how many strong releases there were in the years preceding 2019 and how many strong releases there will be next year as this gen wraps up... I'd say this year was more "normal" compared to everything else. We've just had it really, really good over the past few years to say the least.
Anyway I'd vote for RE2 if we're talking that list.
No Ace Combat 7 again.

You weren't kidding my guy.
I can't help but be disappointed nonetheless however. Diverse list my ass

I'm not even joking. It became so ridiculous that even I created one blog to give AC Odyssey the win lol
No, but based on feedback from friends that played it, it sounds like it is. Hence why I said maybe.
Because it's a good freaking game. It's my favorite RPG this year (and yes, I played Three Houses and Disco Elysium). it would be my personal GOTY if Control didn't exist.
It did feel flat. Even the herald "Writing" was so safe and quite frankly boring. A few high points with some (but not all) of the side characters, but otherwise just as ho-hum as any other rpg. I know the guys can write better than that.
(As for Far Cry 5, I actually liked it. Probably because the Soundtrack was freakin god-tier, so the rest was fine).
Pokemon, really? I mean it's an ok game but I'm really surprised of the inclusion. Otherwise a very solid list of games.

Lol that's amazing. You should do it this year too, to give the win to Crackdown 3
Out of those I would choose either Fire Emblem or Sekiro. Not sure I agree with Link's Awakening because it was an altogether uninspired remake. Don't get me wrong, It was a 10/10 when it originally released and it holds up even today but it is a remake that does nothing new.
Disco Elysium deserves to win.
For the second place, I'm torn between Slay the Spire and Control.

It is a gameboy game and it plays like one. In 2019 that just isn't GOTY material.
I personally don't know if I'd feel good counting it on my list when it comes to ERA voting. Too 1:1.
Just stop. Not everybody has to enjoy what you enjoy. Acting as if Death Stranding is objectively GOTY material is absolutely silly.
