villa4europe Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 resident evil 2 took me back to one of my favourite ever games, its even better than I could have hoped for, its an incredible game im enjoying rage 2, its not great as a game but its fun, wish I could play total war three kingdoms and disco Elysium, probably spent the most time on days gone which again isn't great (certainly by sony exclusive standards) but in places its really fun still to play death stranding, star wars and I might return to CoD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilko154 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Well it's taken this thread to realise that other than Fifa 20 I haven't actually played a 2019 released game this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltimateCRPG: Disco ElysiumARPG: Path of Exile: BlightJRPG: Fire Emblem: Three HousesFirst Person Shooter: Escape From TarkovThird Person Shooter: Remnant: From the Ashes Platformer: Super Mario Maker 2Sports/Racing: Dirt Rally 2.0 Strategy: Anno 1800MMO: Final Fantasy XIV Worst Game of the Year: AnthemHonourable Mention: Sekiro: Shadows Die TwiceOverall Game of the Year: Bloodstained: Ritual of the NightGame of the Decade: Dark Souls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Not been a great year for me in terms of game time, really. My top 3: Disco Elysium Steamworld Quest Outer Worlds. I didn't play many AAA games this year, probably only Outer Worlds which I enjoyed more than I thought I would, and RDR2 which I thought was incredibly tedious, and I abandoned it about 10 hours in. Rockstar games just aren't for me. I played the RE2 remake as well, which was ok. 24 minutes ago, Designer1 said: All PS4: Torchlight 2 I can't believe that only came out this year on PS4, I last played that 7 years ago. Cracking game though. Edited December 3, 2019 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Control, nothing else comes remotely close for me. Prone as I am to hyperbole, it has genuinely gone into my all-time top 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Game of the decade is a lot harder The last of us just beating out the witcher and GTA I think, God of war and uncharted following from them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted December 3, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted December 3, 2019 Game of the Year Odd year this. There's been some good titles but you can really tell it's a holding pattern waiting for a new generation year. Resident Evil 2 doubled the number of Resident Evil games I like. Mortal Kombat came back with a really solid fighting game trying to do something a little different. Days Gone was... alright. DMC5 marked a return to form by all accounts. Bloodstained finally came out in all its I can't believe it's not Castlevania glory. Nintendo banged out 3 solid, if perhaps niche entries in their franchises, and had that augmented with Astral Chain which appeared to be Platinum on form. From returned with a slight move away from the Souls formula to much more muted response with Sekiro... I don't think I can look past Resident Evil. That's a bloody excellent game. Game of the Decade This is a bloody hard call. Red Dead? The phenomenon that is Skyrim? God of War? Last of Us? Dark Souls? Bloodborne? Witcher 3?... I think an argument could be made for all of those. And more. And depending on the day I reckon I'd give you a different answer. Right now though? Hmm... Bloodborne. Red Dead was incredible but ultimately it's GTA with horses, and 2 is great but I don't love it. Skyrim is astounding but it's only made great by mods fixing it, and it's been flogged too many times. God of War is incredible, nearly won this, but to be truly brilliant for me it needed to make a little more of its Norse mythology - a lot is left on the table for sequel bait. The Last of Us has great storytelling, but is otherwise tired. Dark Souls is exceptional, but has a very obvious point where the budget and time ran out, and no Game of the Decade can have something as awful as Bed of Chaos in it. And the Witcher 3 is a landmark, beautiful, great story, wonderful writing, brilliant scope. But the idiosyncrasies of the series hold it back - the strategic side of preparing for battles, and it feels a little off at times. But Bloodborne... Bloodborne is incredible. The Souls gameplay but with the speed dialed up and focus on aggression. Brilliant world building that somehow mixes Lovecraft and classic horror and... Other stuff. Allegory and allusion dripping off it. Wonderful aesthetics, beautiful and horrific, awe inspiring and sickening in equal measure. It's genuinely, genuinely excellent.

bannedfromHandV Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I’ll have to comment on the decade only as don’t think I’ve actually bought a new game in the 2019, so Game of the decade has to be GTA V for me. Its 6 or so years old now and I’m still playing it regularly which speaks volumes. Red Dead 2 has to get a mention, graphically and in terms of detail I’d go as far as to say it’s the best game ever made, it’s just not the most fun game ever made which is where it falls down. The Last of Us, superb game (can not wait for the sequel). I thought Until Dawn was quite innovative and somewhat original, but that went downhill halfway through the story (won’t spoil it for anyone not played it). Battlefield 4 was about as good a FPS as you’re gonna get but I don’t think an FPS will ever win game of the decade, or at least it shouldn’t IMO. The Unchartered series is awesome but not sure any one of them have been so spectacular to be game of the decade. All these on PlayStation obvs, don’t play anything else (aside from clash of clans on the phone, which perhaps deserves a mention given I’m still playing that 6-7 years after release).

lapal_fan Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Can't do game of the year - nothing has interested me. Game of the Decade - probably GTA V for quality of world design, the fun and laughs I had with @Stevo985, @Ginko, @StefanAVFC - the fact that something on that scale was even able to be a co-op or player vs player, free with a good degree of the single player stuff. PS1/PS2 me wouldn't have believed that in 15 years, a game like that could have existed. Graphics for me would be - RDR 2 - I deleted it a while back to make space of other games, but I keep getting the urge to install it again because I used to love hunting in the woods and just taking in the general scenery. Plus some of the missions and set pieces were magical. I loved the start, which was much maligned because I felt the struggle. Honorable mentions - Elite Dangerous - my first space sim, the scope of which is amazing and I love how difficult it is to do anything, yet when you get used to it, it just clicks. One thing holds it back and that's I don't have anyone to play with. I've played for hours, but there's so many things I've never done or seen.. I feel scared to leave "the bubble". BF3, BF4 & BF1 - not including 5 because whilst it's getting better, there's still something off about it I don't like. The other 3, I've never spent so much of my life on these 3 games. I'm into the thousands of hours. About a year ago, I worked out how much time I'd spent playing them and it was something like 5% of my life since the games came out.. So well done DICE, well done Rockstar and well done Frontier. **** EA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 For me, game(s) of the decade: 1) Witcher 3 2) RDR 2 (probably more immersive than W3 in terms of what you can do in an open world sense, but the W3 story wins hands down imo) The musical score in w3 is amazing, there are numerous tracks or songs from w3 worthy of listening to just as pure music, and its probsbly the only game I have ever played where the story or quests were so immersive and emotional (if you didn't know the quests or story arc in advance) Pure masterpiece. .....I hate portals.....
