The Game Awards 2019 - All Nominees Revealed

I question the whole show integrity ever since they gave Overwatch GOTY Instead of Uncharted 4 in 2016
it was released in the cut off date, so i'd assume it would be eligible?
My list would have only one of those games.
Also, there's a poll here with a clear winner and a clear front runner, and two toe to toe that follow.
Have you played the game?
Geoff isn't in charge of nominations
I want to say there is a cutoff date pertaining to when the game gets to critics it didn't make.
Never said that. Point of contention is choosing a game that released last year this year.
Resident evil 2 > Death Strading > Control > Sekiro > the rest
The most percent didn't.
The most percent didn't.
DS rightly deserves art/ost awards, the other stuff it's nominated for is questionable.
that said, it's a pretty solid game. DS, Sekiro, and RE2RE are all a 8/10 for me so the award is up in the air. Art and music are very important to me outside of gaming, so I'm leaning towards DS..
either way, the salt in this thread is delicious. Gotta get me some fries.

You literally said exactly that......
Point of contention is choosing a game that released last year over one this year. It doesn't even have to be Gears.
I didn't even play it yet and I still think it's silly. Games I don't like or care about win or are nominated for awards all the time. It's only natural that there will be critically acclaimed games that you're not super into, after all, so there's no need to get salty over it
i finished it and the only nomination i question is the narrative one, because if that's an indication of the best narratives video games have to offer we are in a bad place
there is a 12 month eligibility period and smash falls in it for this year's awards
I assume that no nominations at all for Fallen Order or Pokemon means that Nov 15 releases are not eligible. Unless they just both got snubbed lol.
this makes sense. i didn't even notice that pokémon wasn't in the best family game category
I liked The Outer Worlds, but I really can't justify putting it up for GotY. I can't think of anything new or innovative The Outer Worlds brought to the table, and I don't think any of Obsidan's usual strengths- characterization and player choice- were on display to the extent of putting them above their competitors. I'd say the 30 some player characters of Three Houses were better realized, on average, than the 9 or so person party in The Outer Worlds, and Disco Elysium honestly changed my standards for how much freedom a player can expect to have while roleplaying in a video game. I can't even say The Outer Worlds is the best game of the year that has "Outer" and "Wlds" in its title.
They were eligible, but those two games barely gave out review codes. Compared to Death Stranding which gave out lots of codes a month before release.
Pretty sure they are counting the full release this year and not early access last year.
Who are any of those eSports players? Like damn at least I recognized some of them last year. Too bad SonicFox can't be a nominee again lol.
Already did on the Golden Joystick Awards.
The Game Awards isn't the most important awards event you know?
How did Jump Force even end up on the list? Is it like a participation award for simply being a fighting game in 2019, or is there some cult following to it that I'm ignorant to?
Control Won "Critics choice award"
Resident Evil 2 won "Ultimate Game of the Year award"
Which I believe is voted by the people, I think that's how the Golden Joystick works.
Yeah I think it's mostly so they could fill the slot....though there had to have been one other good fighting game that came out this year lol
Indivisible? Maybe not the best, but it genuinely tried something new with fighting game mechanics.
It still won it. My initial point is that The Game Awards isn't the most important or better awards event there is for gaming, nor an objective one.
I don't know what's better: the love or the hate for Death Stranding in this thread.
I'm sitting here impatiently waiting for my son to be finished with the PS4 so I can play more Death Stranding. Bed time might come earlier for him tonight....
I truly recommend at least trying to play it first before deciding to post hot take after hot take. Or not even hot takes, but just dismissing it because reviewers, scores, watching it on YouTube.
I haven't played Crack Down 3 yet, but I expect to like it when I do..because I like the series.
Reviews, scores be damned. And if I don't..I'll at least have played it to make up my own mind. Might get Game Pass tonight just for CD3.

True, is the most popular by a huge margin tho. Still, are you implying that Golden Joys is more important or objective? The way I see it has even bigger problems considering is hosted in September leaving a chunk of games behind and is voted by the people.
It has every right to exist (it might be even be one of the first awards and is still going!) but it doesn't invalidare TGA.
If you're only saying there are other awards where you can put your attention then sure, there are tons. If anything DICE, Game Developers and I believe Bafta involve the actual developers voting.
Best family games all are Nintedno. Welp.
I wonder why there aren't similar games on otehr platforms for the family. It seems Nintendo nailed it this gen byt not only keeping their family lineup but also investing in adult games and even not censor them. They target all publics now.

Nope not implying that. Most Gaming awards are heavily biased towards a group of people's tastes and personal choices.
It's a tough one.
Hgnn, I'm conflicted about voting KH3 for music. There are some absolutely amazing Shimomura tracks, but Ishimoto and Sekito really drag it down.
Ace Combat 7 not being nominated for at least the soundtrack is disappointing, but expected :(
