What 2019 games you are expecting a Masterpiece?

Sekiro isn't even hard on the default mode. Just gotta learn to deflect and half the game is solved instantly. This is showcased by it having the Demon Bell buff which makes enemies harder but makes rewards better.
People complaining about wanting an easy mode were funny in not realizing they WERE playing on easy mode all along!

I've truly never understood why RE4 is held in such high regard. It's a serviceable shooter, and that's about where it ends.Johnny Novgorod said:
OT: I'm not expecting any masterpieces, to be honest, but then I wasn't expecting Horizon: Zero Dawn or God of War to be as good as they were. The ones likeliest to grab me would be Nioh 2 & Pokemon Sword/ Shield.
From B-Cell, no. From the others, most of the time, yes. When his responses or starters are why this fps is better than another game of a different genre, or superior to anything else with not much ti back up on, you already failed. If I wanted crap like that, I'd go back to GameFAQS.TrulyBritish said:
I'm not sure I've seen a gaming masterpiece this decade yet... and time is winding down for the 2010's to crank one out. Sure there are games I like, but nothing genre defining that hadn't been done better previously. Mostly this is the gaming decade where games got prettier by sacrificing gameplay, impact, content, originality, creativity... Oh there were also the hardware input improvement leaps forward like 3D, motion control, Kinect, VR before it gets good (if that ever actually happens)...
So yeah, great gaming decade. I feel sorry for the kids who have THIS to look forward to when they are old enough to appreciate nostalgia. Still, I haven't purchased "My Time at Portia" yet. So I guess it isn't fair of me to proclaim that it isn't the "masterpiece" version of Stardew Valley. I really don't believe it will be, but I suppose there is always the chance.

It's ok dude, you can say it was bad. We all know.B-Cell said:
As for 2019 masterpieces? I'm really not sure. Trials Rising is the best game I've played so far this year, and it is by far the best title in the franchise (even topping my beloved Trials Evolution), but I wouldn't say it was a masterpiece. There are a few games I'm looking forward to, but again I think they'll all fall short of the 'M' word. I share your excitement for Doom, although I don't think it'll be as all that as you seem to. Jedi Fallen Order, too, is on my list, desperately hoping Respawn prove me wrong by *not* making CoD iinn ssppaaaaccee!!. Borderlands 3 is a definite purchase for me as well, although I would never even suggest that a Borderlands game be given the title 'masterpiece'. It'll be a good, albeit mindless, frag-fest - nothing more, nothing less.
They have been making bannerlord like forever. I doubt it will release in 2020 let alone 2019.Sonmi said:

Not sure I see any masterpieces coming out this year tbh. Some great games already came out and some others are on the horizon, but I don't see any of them being timeless classics.
I loved Sekiro, but it didn't stick with me like Dark Souls 1 or Bloodborne did. I really look forward to some indies and Nintendo games coming out, as well as the FF14 xpac, but again, I don't see them being games I talk about for years and years after the fact.
If Silksong actually comes out this year I could see that one having the potential, but we'll have to wait and see.

I...question the wisdom of anticipating a masterpiece. Masterpieces are cut from the same cloth as (or even synonymous with) a Magnum Opus. It's not just something good, not just something great, it's something truly exemplary, often to the point of being the best work of a given creator's entire career. Being hopeful about a product is one thing, but expecting a masterpiece seems beyond the pale.
Besides, don't we simply know better?

No. its one of the best FPS of this gen and so far best game this year. especially the finale of this game is just so epic. i dont think any game come close to its ending or final mission this gen.Grouchy Imp said:
One of the best FPS games of this gen? That's a bold claim. The thing is, the Metro series has always been very good at tense, claustrophobic survival horror, and I just didn't think that formula translated well in Exodus. We lost the very atmosphere that made the Metro series so iconic, leaving just the survival elements (and which games don't have that these days?) and the shooting mechanics where are, let's be honest, kinda clunky. I say this as someone who loves the Metro series (not just the games but the books as well), but for me Exodus is the weakest game of the series.B-Cell said:
Metro is excellent. Rage 2 FPS part by id software is good. the avalanche part that is open world is pretty bland.undeadsuitor said:
