The Game Awards 2019 - All Nominees Revealed
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
I never expected it to win GOTY. Deserved to be one of the finalists.
A shame Disco Elysium, Pathologic 2, and Devotion are hardly represented but oh well...it is The Game Awards.
Visual Fidelity? Audio, the ost is quite good. The actors playing their parts are pretty amazing...it's just the things they say are dumb and bad.
There should have been a best character category and it would have been a real slugfest between Mads Michelson's character and Ashley Burch's Parvati from TOW.

OP
I'm talking about a general review. Obviously some games are bad or disappointing enough that It won't be the case. Hence skew positive
The Outer Worlds is nomineed for GOTY but not best Direction,no way it is winning GOTY,also Outer Wilds nomineed for Direction and not GOTY,I think some folks confused the name on ballots,I think if Death Stranding wins best action/adventure over Resident Evil 2,it has high chances win GOTY,Kojima should win best Direction,and it is hard to believe he winning Direction and not GOTY,basically the game who wins Direction wins GOTY.
People, there was no shot in hell a game that looks as bad as Fire Emblem does was getting a GOTY nom. Zero
Maybe they should do like the Oscar's and expand it to 10 nominees. There was a lot of great games this year
DMC V got nominated for best OST purely off of one song lol.
Smash is a tricky one given the great majority of the songs are remixes from other games. I'm ok with not nominating it.
Astral Chain or FE should've been nominated though.

probably Death Stranding, Disco Elysium, Devil May Cry V, and Disco Elysium. But I don't have a Switch so I haven't gotten to stuff I know I'm gonna love like Astral Chain and 3 Houses (and Luigi's Mansion for that matter).
I think the year is pretty good for weird out of nowhere games. Outer Wilds, the aforementioned Disco, even expansions like Iceborne have all been great. Even stuff like Sekiro that's awesome but almost lost in the shuffle just because of how fun the year is.
TBH I would take this over something like last year where all the big hyped GOTY level stuff were open world typical AAA stuff.
lol, what
universal acclaim isn't a prerequisite to winning an award, the first wave of reviews isn't the sole barometer by which to measure acclaim, and sometimes the most beloved and/or impactful games are also deeply flawed
if enough of the people voting think Death Stranding is GOTY, such that no other game mobilizes the same level of support, then that's that isn't it
They also take audience votes into account though and those can be fudged
Yeah, though Smash is definitely amazing and the perfect Smash game, Death Stranding will get my vote for how new and well done it is.
Innovation in the AAA space really deserves to be rewarded and recognized, that's why I'll be kinda bummed if a remake (RE2, not making the Smash port argument) wins over it for TGA. I think that's also how I'll break the tie between it and Three Houses when it's time to vote GOTY on ERA.
That may be true, but I would think that it would be unprecedented for a game to win GOTY with the negative review metrics associated with it too. But it obviously has a great chance to win a bunch of things including GOTY.
It doesn't take much to do a good game story. I don't expect The Last Of Us out of every title. I mean, my favorite story in a game this year is Travis Strikes Again.
DMC5's narrative was extremely undercooked and left me dissatisfied. I also didn't care much for the music either if I'm being honest. Also I said the combat was the only good thing, that doesn't mean the entirety of the game play was good. The pacing was mundane and level design was extremely mediocre.
How many times does this need to be said? Geoff's relationship with Kojima has no impact on the awards.
as someone who actually played Death Stranding, it absolutely deserves to be nominated in every category it's in. Except for maybe narrative, I havent finished the game yet.
If you want to go down this route, then it's also the game that has more perfect scores than any other game released this year.
Hahaha you are obsessed with this game. It's getting hilarious
Move on man
Like, what was the date eligibility for this? Star Wars and Pokemon have no nominations, which is a bit shocking.
Fire Emblem only getting nominated in one category is a crime. It should have been a GotY nominee IMO.
I'm glad Smash got in there though.

Nice to see Control is up there in a lot of those considering how bad it bombed. It was a really good game.
Ironically, I think the actual direction is pretty strong. Kojima knows how to shoot drama in a digital 3D space very well - he just doesn't have the chops to write it. And he does turn out memorable performances from other members of the cast - Reedus is just a complete nothingburger at the center of it all.
You think the game that's nominated for every award it's eligible for is the weakest?
Control is the one for me.
But I think Sekiro will win, based on all the conversations that happened at the time of release. It's sad to me that such a cruel game that most won't be able to finish or even experience past the half-mark will be getting game of the year award. But that's a whole can of worms.
