IGN: The Best Games of 2019 (Didn't Do Anything New)

Sir this is the Internet you can't just leave a trash fire to burn itself out. That's crazy talk š
Real talk though (not directed at you Flux) a video producer & editor for IGN literally posted in this thread so if you're this concerned about what their point was you could maybe ask if they have any insight, if y'all haven't scared them off already
The rest of the post was clean, but this one don't check out chief. A lot of Sekiros concepts have been done in other action games.

I thought they were being intentionally vague and baity with the title though it's actually "comfort food of 2019 and I love them".
Nice video, and I've always felt that a great game is a great game. Not everything has to innovate.
Death Stranding and DMCV and rebooted MHW made this year awesome for me.
Biggest disagreement I've ever had with IGN on a review, even after Mario Odessey (thought it was overrated but still a solid game). I can't even fathom the DS review though, I haven't stop playing since I got it.

Not if you're a fan of japanese games. I've been having a blast. (except for the typical summer drought).
I disagree. Gears 5 added a semi-open world with side quests to its campaign. Wonderful innovation.
I am happy with what we got. I prefer games with old skool sensibilities like RE2 and DMCV. I'd take that over anything GaaS.
Well if you're speaking of japanese games Judgement came out right at the end of june.
Outer Wilds, Control, and Death Stranding say otherwise but ok, IGN. Given none of those games scored above a 9.0, maybe the video should be titled "The games we loved most in 2019(Didn't do anything New)."
Terrific year for me. Perhaps the strongest since 2015 in terms of catering to my tastes.

I played FE for 90 hours, i burn through games like crazy though.
Nintendo had a pretty great summer with stuff like Three Houses, Super Mario Maker 2, Cadence of Hyrule, and Astral Chain. July was probably the weakest month for everybody but even that had Dragon Quest Builders 2. I think the idea of a summer drought is starting to go away.
Game doesn't need be innovative to be good, but it sure helps if it's both.
Also I think The Outer Worlds is innovative. I'm not the RPGest game player ever, but this is the first time I've seen homebase scripts where crew members interact with each other and events happen. Not just "go to crew quarter where person stands around forever and make talk at them" like your Mass Effects. And if it did happen in a game I've played, I forgot about it. So I found that innovative in a way that notably improves the experience in a meaningful way by making the ship feel more lively and interesting.
The whole game doesn't have to reinvent the universe to be innovative. That's rarely ever how innovation works.
I nominate The Outer Worlds for Innovation of the Year. And there's nothing anyone can do to stop me.
I'm gonna watch the video now.
So far I like how his shirt matches the background. A+

Mostly agree with the video, but FFS so many of these "best parts of Fallout" mantras miss the bus entirely. On a surface level The Outer Worlds is just the good stuff from Fallout, without the bad, but it doesn't come close to having the same sense of discovery that made those games so memorable, especially New Vegas. It's way too confined and copy/paste.
Can't recall the last time I played an action adventure game where Guitar Hero was the foundation for the combat until that point, which is what the person you were quoting was talking about.

because its not fallout. honestly outer worlds is what kotor would have evolved, minus the late stage capitalism stuff, if it had continued.
I agree (for my tastes) but I actually loved that it was since I got to focus on some fantastic older games. Jedi FO looks like it's going to be a winner though.
Not every game has to innovate.
The problem with 2019 is being derivative AND boring. Even 2014 was better.

The Venn diagram of people who think it's a bad year for games and people who ignore 95% of games out there is nearly a perfect circle every year.
Also this IGN video is sorely lacking in the 'show your work' department.
Because it has a bunch of Fallout elements, and they made a previous Fallout game. But yeah it's not 1:1 with the Bethesda Falllouts.
To be fair the Bethesda Fallouts didn't have the best parts of Fallout 1 and 2 either.

Was going to say. Comfortably one of this year's best and most innovative games.
people raving about this year but i just donĀ“t see it, it was a big letdown. iĀ“ve played way less this year than in the last years, not much of interest for me.
Sekiro and Death Stranding being the highlights from the bigger games for me so far

The Outer Wilds does absolutely nothing new. Everything in that game is ripped from other game.
Sekiro took a single mechanic from Nioh and built a game around it. Also nothing new.
What game is like Outer Wilds?
To be clear, I'm saying Outer Wilds, not Outer Worlds.
Also, Sekiro is nothing like Nioh. Nioh plays much closer to like a Bloodborne. There's nothing out there that plays like Sekiro. Even if it borrowed a mechanic (Nioh's parry? which isn't really a central mechanic to the game?)

For those who are saying it's been a terrible year - have y'all looked at the indie space? There's been a lot of really great stuff this year - Outer Wilds (not Worlds), Disco Elysium, Katana Zero, Baba Is You, Telling Lies, A Short Hike, Untitled Goose Game, Gato Roboto, Valfaris, Lonely Mountains Downhill, Erica... so much good stuff! And I'm probably missing a lot!
