IDK if either is my goty but Pokemon Moon and FF15 were both nice pick-me-ups during what's been a tough six months for me emotionally and financially

FF15 and WoFF were definitely both pleasant surprises even if both had were still flawed.

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


1 - Ace Attorney 6: Spirit of Justice
2 - Doom
3 - Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows Darkest Dungeon
4 - X-com 2
5 - Stardew Valley

Uh... I think I can only do a top 5. I played a lot of slightly older games this year.

E: Wait, Plague of Shadows was last year...

GOTY this year is Doom, Dark Souls 3, or Let It Die for me. DaS3 really clicks once you hit NG+.

I don't think they are but Linkle is not 3DS-exclusive. Her story mode is, though.

What are you even booing here?

They backported the new Legends characters to the Wii U version as they came out but there are no new maps or anything.

Is Nier Automata basically Metal Gear Rising Revengeance 2.0? I've read multiple times that supposedly a lot of its systems were for a cancelled Rising sequel.

The director of revengeance is working on it so yeah kinda. Little bit more of an RPG, no slow motion cutting things apart, and it's going to have more wide open areas to run around and do stuff in.

There was special cheaper dlc for the wii u that lets you get the 3ds characters and weapons, but the wii u version doesn't get the 3ds' maps or gameplay mechanic changes

It's not quite the same as MGR but there's a lot of similarities. The look and feel are kind of similar, the Light+Heavy weapon system is fairly familiar, has the same red-flash for incoming physical attacks, and the demo boss is like straight up the big industrial Metal Gear from the end of MGR :v:

But on the other hand there's no parry like MGR, no blade-time, and the dodge is not at all like the one from MGR. Plus it's got RPG mechanics and some open-worldness and quests and stuff.


I'm pretty sure the item pickup sound is taken from MGS too.

I'd put Prey in there because Arkane, those 4 sound like solid nominees even now.

I played Nier demo and loved it, just wish the characters didn't look like such weird fetish poo poo
