General Gaming Your Top Five Games of 2019 D1P Style

[skillzdadirecta]

Yes we have one for the decade, but we don't have one for the year... 2019 was for me, a weak year overall and I don't think there were ten good games that came out so I reduced the list to five. I spent a decent amount of time this year playing through my backlog. That said here are my top five games of 2019.

 

5. Remnant: From the Ashes

4. Rage 2

3.Sekiro

2. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

1. Control

I played it... when it came out 21 years ago  

If I had to do ten games it would probably be

 

6. Greedfall

7. Days Gone

8. The Division 2

9. Anthem (that's right)

10. The Outer Worlds ( I guess)

[CastlevaniaNut18]

Still so many games I need to play from this year. 

[legend]

I still have a bunch of 2019 games to play, but these 6 seem worth mentioning.

• Disco Elysium
• Mortal Kombat 11
• The Outer Wilds
• Fire Emblem 3
• Borderlands 3

[CastlevaniaNut18]

Yeah, I checked and the only games from this year I’ve beaten are 

 

Luigi’s Mansion 3

Days Gone

Resident Evil 2

 

I started Fire Emblem Three Houses and Link’s Awakening and Pokémon Sword. I’d expect they’d knock off Days Gone if I’d beaten them by now.

I'm sure it has... and I will find out when it's about 19 bucks.

$20 is too high?

Actually $19.79 on Xbox right now.

[Paperclyp]

Sekiro 

Mario Maker 2

RE 2

Apex Legends 

The Outer Wilds 

 

In that order, I think (sekiro #1). Now, I’m only partway through outer wilds and it might climb. I haven’t played disco e and I think that has a great chance of getting in there, and same with bloodstained and remnant. Partway through remnant but not enough to say yet.

 

I have played fire emblem (fine), Pokemon (good but not top 5), and outer worlds (meh). 

 

 

[Rodimus]

1. Bloodstained Ritual of the Night

2. RE2make

3. Zelda: Link's Awakening remake

4. Messenger

5. Super Mario Maker 2

I don't know if you picked up on it, but I'm not in any rush to get it. I still haven't finished RE 7 and I have The Evil Within 2 sitting in my entertainment center still sealed in plastic. I'll get it at some point I'm sure but thanks for the heads up!

Well, enjoy it whenever you get it sometime in the future.

This was really a fantastic year for Switch. I'd have hardly gotten anything if I didn't have a Switch.

 

Shit, I forgot about Yoshi's Crafted World. Started that one with the husband, but we got sidetracked. Still need to get back to it sometime. Dragon Quest XI is another one I bought but haven't played yet. Yup, Switch is killing it.

[Rodimus]

If a game is on PS4 and Switch I get the PS4 version. Rarely have I double dipped. I might if there was a big digital sale and physical copy on PS4.

Why? Trophies? 

[Rodimus]

Why? Trophies? 

While I have both I choose PS4 over Switch for these reasons and often look for physical copies.

 

Unranked List of reasons

 

As for Physical copies a Blu-ray Disc is more compatible say with computers and in general.

PS4 has more raw power.Also I have a Pro so it can often run in higher resolutions than Switch.

Many Switch games are often downgrades.

I don't play portable as much on Switch.

Even if the performance is equal I pick PS4.

Better chance of BC in the future.

Better online

I can actually chat with a friend while playing or better yet invite them to play.

Share-play is great. I use it on many couch co-op type games where I can't convince friends to buy games but they can play games with me that I buy.

I have more controllers.

 

[GameDadGrant]

@Rodimus

 

But....Trophies!  

 

Out of all those reasons, I can definitely get behind the better online - at the very least as far as chat and invites go. And the SharePlay is a great idea. Hope future consoles pick up that feature, too. 
 

And of course, if you’re not playing in handheld mode, that invalidates one of the major features of the Switch, haha. 
 

Trophies really are a non-factor for ya, huh?I thought that was a big draw for PS4 gamers? (Or does that only apply to Xbox players and Achievements?)

Trophies are bad and still feel like an afterthought. You still have to sync them to get them to show up (unless you pay for PSplus) which is just... dumb.

[eggydoo]

Thinking back I don't think I played a lot of 2019 games this yr.  Mostly been working on my backlog, but here is my list that I can think of based on what I played the most.

1 - Sekiro

2 - Mordhau

3 - Disco Elysium

4 - RE2

5 - Apex Legends

 

I still haven't played outer worlds and some other games listed here.

But at least they exist. 

[crispy4000]

I never buy multi-platform games on Switch unless I'm double dipping on an indie game, which is admittedly pretty rare.  I say double dipping because indie prices on Switch are still marked up like crazy.  Portable tax.

... I'll probably do it for Slay the Spire at some point.  It's so damn good.  And one of the few 2019 games I've played this year.

[Rodimus]

Trophies are fine. I'm not a trophy whore. I have two platinum trophies. RE5 and Bloodstained Ritual of the Night,

I know, I’m ashamed. I got it on Switch but was waiting for the patches to make it better before I played it. But I’ve been playing other stuff.  Husband played it on PC and loved it. I need to get to it soon.
