Who else feels that 2020 will be the best year this gen?

I'm really sorry, but 2017 is untoppable as far as gaming years. It was the best year in the medium's history, by a huge margin. I mean, who knows what the future holds, but to me it's very difficult to dethrone that year.
There's a lot of games releasing in 2020 that I'm interested in, as well as much bigger things happening too like next-gen consoles.
I have a feeling 2020 is going to be a pretty amazing year.

For Switch and PC it has been very good. Heck we even got a new genre in 2019
I think it looks a little empty so far, but am interested in seeing what Elden Ring looks like, as well as play Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2 and Cyberpunk. Other than that it looks a little meh. Indies will deliever as always though and maybe Nintndo will bring the goods?
What was/is so special about Switch this year ?
PS4 and Xbox have RE2R, Sekiro, DMC5, Death Stranding, Gears 5, Days Gone, Borderlands 3, Judgment, Star Wars.
Much better imo.
Super Mario Maker 2, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Astral Chain, Luigi's Mansion 3, Dragon Quest XIS, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, and The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, off of the top of my head. Plenty of good stuff coming out or out already. I'd take most these games over the ones you've listed, personally
Some well scored titles but PS4/Xbox are looking by far not subpar compared to that.
I wouldn't say legendary, but a year that has Resi 2, Sekiro, DMC 5, Astral Chain, Outer Wilds, Telling Lies, Control, Mario Maker 2, Fire Emblem, Apex Legends, Ace Combat 7, Metro Exodus, Observer, Katana Zero and others is far from bad. Also, the year is far from over. Big hitters like Gears 5, Borderlands 3, Modern Warfare, DOOM Eternal, Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, The Outer Worlds and Death Stranding have yet to come out, as well as promising AA fare like Greedfall, Shenmue III and The Surge 2.
I think for me it might top 2018 when all is said and done, especially if some of the yet to be released games deliver on their promise.
2020 looks insane though, hard to argue with that.
He didn't say that. He said subpar for him, personally, irrespective of what the Switch has. He doesn't even like Nintendo games
Well he's not a Switch owner and doesn't really care for their output so it really is personally as opposed to by comparison

How would it not be personally? No one can speak about this stuff objectively. I was simply clarifying that my opinion is only based on PS4 and Xbox One since the Switch doesn't interest me.

Yeah next year is looking pretty awesome. Dying Light 2 is probably my most anticipated game atm. FF7R also is looking much better than I thought it would.
I don't know if next year will contain the gotg but I think it will be the best in terms of the quantity of awesome games. Plus next gen games that we haven't heard of yet.

2020 in general is going to be a huge year for entertainment. The marketing is gonna be nuts for 2020
I'm ready for the gen to end and the list in the OP depresses me, personally. I don't need the nth Halo or Naughty Dog game so a hard no vote for me.
The Last of Us Part 2 will already put it in contention for that. Then you throw in Cyberpunk, Ghost of Tsushima, FF7 Remake, Persona 5 Royal, and others and you really see how it likely will be.

Breath of the Wild was 2017. Though RDR II and Spider-Man were 2018.
I made this thread about 2014 being my favourite year.
Give it a look. I think you'll find 2014 was a criminally underrated year and look beyond what was competing for GOTY awards.
2019s great if you own all the consoles. If you only have a ps4 it was good at the start then basically dead. If you had just a switch it started slow then just ramped up a lot. If you have everything (pc, ps4, switch, xbox one) you were probably swamped with games this year lol. 2017 has been my fav cuz I love JRPGs and nier, persona 5 (US release), botw, odyssey, and xenoblade 2 was just crazy for me. I hadn't spent that much time on videogames in years.
For 2020, it just depends on what comes out. FFVII Remake is my big game w/ Cyberpunk. Last of Us II I'm also picking up. Ghosts if it's coming out looks kinda slow gameplay wise / haven't seen enough of it and after Sekiro was out my interest for it just dropped even more. I don't care about watch dogs or most of these western AAA cranked out titles anymore because they feel stale now a days, but I still give it a fair shake and look at them when they release. I'm just not hype by em. If Bayo 3 and BotW 2 get added on that list and SMT V that would push it over since I like JPRG's a lot. PSO2 for the west on PC should be interesting too. Elden Ring I might try, but with FROM games its all about the setting for me. I'm not into a lot of medieval lore and stuff so if it plays / looks more like the regular souls games I'll prolly skip over it (I enjoyed Bloodborne and Sekiro a lot so I'll be keeping an eye on it).

From what I can tell 2020 will be a solid year for games with the potential to be even better once we know more about the next-gen consoles.
Can also add Ghost Recon Breakpoint. Good thing my overtime now and then pays for new releases lol.
Animal Crossing is cool. FFVII is cool. Hopefully Ghosts of Tsushima is cool.
That's it for me.
I'm not sold on that year being better than 2017 yet.

I don't know about legendary but out of the last 3 years, 2019 has been the best to me. My game of the generation released(DMCV) and I really enjoyed Sekiro, KH3 and Resident evil 2. Although, the year has been pretty dry after that.
If 2020 delivers, it should be great as well.
