Destructoid’s E3 2019 Community Choice award goes to…

Just Dance 2020! (Wii)

Recommended Videos

It’s a tough world out there. Most of our Community Choice award votes went to two games, because why not? E3 really needs to step it up if they’re going to dethrone some of these AAA titles that dominate the landscape. Give the little guys some love! Put Ubisoft and Square in the corner, and give folks like Mega Cat the main stage. What’s the worst that could happen?

The worst has happened. Two of the biggest titles in the gaming landscape were not only a hit with the media and those in the know, but you as the gaming public have validated the hype machine. You’ve really done it this time, guys.

We have a tie. God help us all.

Don’t ever tell me that remakes are a bad idea. A good remake rekindles the feelings and emotions conjured up by the original and puts a modern spin on them. Some twenty years later, the world is ready for Final Fantasy VII to get updated. Cloud, Tifa, Barret, and others are back for this modern spin on the seminal PS1 RPG that we thought wouldn’t ever actually release. Well, next year it is, and if you’re anything like me you couldn’t possibly be any more excited for it. Even if you’re not thrilled to pay $60 four times for each disc to get remade, you’re at least thrilled for the game to actually come out. God bless you.

I’ve never been huge on first-person shooters, but damn y’all are nuts for Cyberpunk 2077. Is it the aesthetic? The neon lights? The futuristic violence and fancy suits? Whatever it is, it’s doing a number on you guys. But that’s cool. Being excited for a game should never prevent you from sharing that enthusiasm. And damn, with 20% of the votes going for it, you weren’t shy.

I think this is the first year we’ve had a literal, legitimate tie for the Destructoid Community’s E3 Best of Show award. That’s exciting! I’ve tallied the results below for everyone to see how the games ranked. RIP Just Dance 2020.
