Interesting. If Slay the Spire won over Fire Emblem then I guess it’s worth checking out

Sekiro winning and DMCV by the people is fine. As much as Sekiro deserves it, as much as DMCV must be mentioned and coming second at least

Best performance? I’d put Tommie Earl Jenkins (Die-Hard Man in Death Stranding) followed by Troy Baker (Higgs in Death Stranding)

Best Story? Definitely not Control nor The Outer Wilds.

Best ongoing game? The only perfect answer is Rainbow Six: Siege

Two different best action games? This is weird.

REmake 2 not getting anything but best sound design is bollocks

So IGN apparently has an axe to grind with Death Stranding as they named their acting performance of the year winner and didn't even allow a single performance from the game to be a nominee:

The Best Performance in Video Games of 2019 - IGN

2019 had a cast we'll be talking about for years to come - but there was only one winner.

2019 was pretty quiet...everyone must be gearing up for next gen

How much money did Control give to IGN for this shit? It wasent even on the radar to win.... anything, it was just decent... the graphics are nice but that's about it.

Well, in IGN's defense they're not the only ones that rated Control highly and gave it GOTY.

Nothing for RE2. Pff

Generic winners.

Best Ongoing Game

Winner: Final Fantasy XIV

Justice was served.

Really boring tbh. IGN has zero personality and these winners confirm it.

Art direction going to Control over, say, Gris is pretty ridiculous.

 

[thelastword]

This one is strange though, IGN gave Sekiro a 95, they gave Control an 88 and Sekiro did not win over Control?

I thank God every morning for The Game Awards 2019 don't be ownership of IGN.
