POLL is YOU: Thirteenth Coint and Plick results (best games of 2019)

ppl are very cagey about what this game even is, so I have no idea what it is!

I was concerned that Outer Wilds might have permadeath, but it doesn't really.

jjjusten how many wuld you have given it? :O 30?

i think the reason people are cagey is because the more you explain, the less you are surprised by it. i'll say this: it's a non-combat, walking/space-flying simulator where you have to figure out why a big tragedy is going to happen, and you get lots of tries to do so

it's kind without being cloying, its meditative without being boring, it's perplexing without being alienating, it just rules

ANYWAY, WHO'S READY FOR WHAT ARE DEFINITELY THE REAL TOP 2 GAMES

omg

HAHA WOW. I gave UGG one point so uhhh blame me for the tie!

Untitled Goose Game: I understand the feelings of those let down by it, but I enjoyed my time with it. Maybe slightly less than I expected, but it was a joyful time with only a few deranged and unnecessary annoyances.

I gave 30 points to Baba Is You. I'm so mad at this game right now. It's a good video game.

oooh outer wilds is on the Games Pass...

HONK

with 30 from jjj it would have been death stranding in 1, that's how close it was

if the one voter who gave baba 30 points and UGG 9 points had instead given 8 points...

etc etc etc

WHAT A CLOSE YEAR

i'm surprised astral chain didn't place at all is it just that none of us got around to it?

same with devil may cry 5, i don't think anyone on the board played either of these yet

YES! HONK MOTHERFUCKERS HONK!

Will, those fake ones are awesome, I salute you.

oooh outer wilds is on the Games Pass...

WHAT

WHEN I JOINED GAME PASS IT WAS FOR THIS OUTER WILDS BUT I ACCIDENTALLY PLAYED OUTER WORLDS

IF IT'S ON THERE NOW THIS IS THE ULTIMATE INSULT

(important note about playing on PC: there is a certain part of the game where analog control helps quite a bit, you may not wanna kbm this game -- plug in a controller)

xp thank u :):)

fun poll, great fakes. thanks will m

i think i put goose game as my disappointment for the outrage clicks but it's fine, i didn't manage to play anything truly disappointing last year

yes, thanks for the poll, Will M!

three houses was sorta disappointing or just so much stuff in it that was disappointing. combat rarely fun. running around returning lost objects rarely fun. rumination on nature of authoritarianism? great!

I said in the goose game thread I was surprised by people who said they were disappointed with the actual game, I thought it was rock solid. Maybe a level too short but that would be my only complaint.

now that we've settled this, i just bought my first 2020-released game

wait, its the second i forgot about animal crossing lol

well played will, thanks! will buy some of these for sure where I wouldn't have otherwise!

(animal crossing is less a game and more of a remote lifestyle)

HONK

I couldn't vote in good conscience, UGG was the only eligible game I actually played, I think. It deserves the win, it was the game of the year even if that's not the same as the best game of the year

can everyone do my a favour and read the next one while putting your mouse to automatically slowly scroll through it? thanks
