Got my votes in:

GOTY:
Disco Elysium

Explanation

I don't buy many games at launch nowadays, but as soon as I read about this game, I knew it would be one I would enjoy. Disco Elysium is a triumph in terms of writing and storytelling in video games. At times, the game had me laughing at its witty and sometimes dark humor. Other times, I was deeply engrossed in one of the many optional but deep conversations. Normally, a game would need a combat system to keep me engaged, but this game’s plot and characters kept me enthralled until the end. This game deserves all the praise it has received and I hope the developers continue to create more fantastic narratives such as this.

GOTD:
10. Cuphead
9. Dark Souls Remastered
8. Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove
7. Undertale
6. Hollow Knight
5. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
4. Disco Elysium
3. Nier Automata
2. La-Mulana
1. Divinity Original Sin 2

Explanation

For about 6 years, Xenoblade Chronicles sat at the top of my list of favorite RPGs and I had doubts that another game could top it. Then, came along Divinity Original Sin 2 to take that spot with its amazing combat, visuals, music, and role-playing elements. All of these qualities combined to make the best RPG experience I have ever played. It took me 177 hours to complete my first playthrough of the game and I loved almost every minute of it. I can’t think of another developer that is better suited to create Baldur’s Gate 3 than Larian Studios, and I will preparing myself by playing the previous 2 games as well as the rest of the Divinity games.

omg, I just realized the only 2019 games I beat in 2019 were a mid-tier VN that I didn't even like that much. (Sabbat of the Witch), Dead or Alive 6 (which was a massive disappointment), and Ace Combat 7.

Gosh, 2019 was a really bad year for me. Not really the games fault, there was a lot I wanted to play, and a lot that I bought... but life just keeps getting in the way.

Well GOTD will be smoother at least. Gonna do my form now.
=============

And voted!

Wasn't sure how to put Nonary Games? I wanted to vote for VLR, but it's only sold in this bundle on PC... And we were supposed to copy-paste the names from store page so...

Skyrim has a lot of issues, but it entertained me for hundreds of hours. Can't ignore that. Only the Special Edition exists now on Steam, but I left that off... since the one in my library is the original.

 

[freshVeggie]

Finally sent my ballot. GOTY picks are very boring since I only played two games of this year, so I'll rather share my GOTD picks.
The lack of other high-quality titles is more a sign of negligence of gaming on my part rather than opposition.

[HIDEREPLYTHANKS]1. Mass Effect 2

A milestone title that adds much-needed personal stakes in form of party side-quests, upheaving the gravitas of a universe in peril to ne new heights. Some qualites of the first game get watered down by the desire of a more blockbuster experience but as a whole package it was hard to not get attached and immersed in the finely crafted world and its inhabitants. Superb DLC washed away the ending's sour taste and leaves this epic tale as one of the best action-RPGs of all time.

2. DARK SOULS™: Prepare To Die Edition
3. Spelunky
4. Deus Ex: Human Revolution
5. Battlefield: Bad Company™ 2
6. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
7. Batman: Arkham Asylum
8. Alien: Isolation
9. Dishonored
10. Arma 3[/HIDEREPLYTHANKS]

 

[Nabs]

My Picks:

5) Control 4) A Short Hike 3) Shovel Knight: King of Cards 2) Supraland 1) Dicey Dungeons

 

[Wok]

 

[Kandrick]

Submitted my list. Removed a game and added another before sending it.

GOTY 2019 :

1: Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition
2: CODE VEIN
3: Red Dead Redemption 2
4: Metro Exodus
5: A Plague Tale: Innocence


As for the Decade list, i had a hard time coming up with a list, i barely remember half the games i played, and some of them would be Nintendo games like Xenoblade 1 and 2.

I think i went with the Witcher 3, FFXIV, Nier automata, Dark Souls, and i already forgot the others

Also i think i used the Dark Souls remastered name since that's what Steam came up with, but i see the original Prepare To Die edition is still listed but you can't buy it anymore, oh well.

 

[BlackRainbowFT]

I finally submitted my lists... I'm not really happy with them since I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting games or that my votes are heavily skewed towards more recent releases... I'm not entirely convinced I should've put Supraland above Obduction or The Witness, but that's how I feel -today-...

GOTY

Supraland
Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order
Spyro Reignited Trilogy
LiS2
Dicey Dungeons

GOTD

Supraland
Obduction
Doom
The Witness
Spyro Reignited Trilogy
Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order
Stardew Valley
Wolfenstein: The New Order
Hollow Knight
Endless Legend

Other categories

Ongoing game of the year: Hitman 2
Early access: -
VR: -
Turd of the year: Sonic Team Racing (such a disappointment after my favorite karting game ever... i.e., Sonic Racing Transformed).

Had we been allowed to vote for non-PC games, I'd have put Super Mario Odyssey as GOTD (which finally took the spot from Super Mario World as my favorite Mario game ever).

 

[Wok]

If you want the form, do not wait until the last minute!

I won't stay awake till the very end of the deadline, so I will check the time at which you sent the PM, and get back to you to gather your votes tomorrow morning if you are really late!

 

[Wibblewozzer]

And here's a one-click link to PM Wok so all you have to do is hit send:

https://metacouncil.com/conversatio...e=Please send me the link for the GOTY voting

Maybe that'll help push anyone over the hump that doesn't PM folks often

 

[Wok]

Final reminder:

Don't forget to vote for the Game of the Year/Game of the Decade! Drop me a PM for the voting form. Voting closes soon!

If you send the PM before the deadline, then I will get back to you in a few hours, do not worry.

 

[Wok]

Alright, thank you all for voting!

 

[「Echo」]

For next year can I suggest some extra voting stuff?

I'd be interested in a "Publisher of the Year" category for example.

 

[Wok]

I will sporadically post some pics here before the thread is ready.

 

[Wok]

Here is a first batch of results: the optional categories.

 

[Parsnip]

I didn't vote on any of the optional categories.

 

[Wok]

There is a tie for the nineth place.

 

[Durante]

Nice to see that Baba is You made it on the list.

I didn't vote for it since I haven't really played it yet, but from everything I've seen it deserves some recognition.

 

[d00d3n]

Great to see Supraland on the list. Generic art aside, it delivers some pretty fantastic puzzles, and the metroidvania progression is handled really well.
