I Failed At Anime 2022
I played PE2 immediately coming off of the first one last year and it felt like I was playing a lovely RE clone that failed to understand what made the first game so cool.

I think the selling point for the Switch is the JoJo Simulator 2017.

drat, Netero had it all wrong. Instead of nuking himself, he should've defeated the Ant King by forcing him to LP Omikron.

I don't really like her face. It stands out the most because everything else is the best design in the franchise so far.

Yes. It's refreshingly simple and isn't a poofy pink/purple dress. It's a pretty chill look and her design, and the design of Link's band of adventurers, are all ace.

I think the new design for zelda is loving awesome and delivers more emotion to her character much more than the bored expression of the previous designs.

Oh Jesus Chirst. This game is a loving trip. FutureFriend LP'd it and the big notable thing about it is it features Mike Haggar who either can't do damage or doesn't attack anyone at all.

Anyway, I hope this NMH game is a big leap in the right direction. Sure, it'd be mostly filled with villains but I wanna see the NMH Musou game.

French Bread does make good fight-games, though, and this one looks really competent.

It's not too surprising when you consider that it's the 19th doujin fighting game they made. It's also the 3rd game by the creators that's been a fisticuff, since they went on to make Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late and Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax.

edit: 4th! they also made Melty Blood: Actress Again: Current

further edit: :goonsay:

On a similar note, that guy on twitter (the one who saw the EB Games employee that let his friends in to buy switches early) donated to Pat's recent FF stream with a message about how he totally snitched and the guy got fired.

Pat is the most adorable sociopath ever (also kinda right there).

Also, since this is the closest related thing: Super Bunnyhop made a 2016 retrospective video. It's good if you like his stuff, which I do because long-form scripted gaming stuff is a rarity nowadays. He also spoke negatively for about 15s on some of the political decisions this year. Guess how the YT comments are going right now.

edit: haha, fisticuffs is the weird-rear end french bread game with the hugest sprites

Given Stardew Valley was a complete no show in that video I couldn't care less if it was 30 minutes of George Tiki Dancing in reverance to Margaret Thatcher.

Stardew Valley is a Harvest Moon clone. If you like Harvest Moon clones, it's a good game. I couldn't care less about it.

I don't think it's his style, yeah. I find those games to be very much a "love it or meh it" thing, similar to roguelikes. 4X and musou-style BS. I also kinda agree with the assessment that 2016 didn't have anything AMAZING, just a bunch of solid-rear end games skirting that line. Doom is the closest but it would've benefitted from being more streamlined in its weapon progression, Overwatch is super fun but it has its map and balance issues, XCom 2 had some annoying launch issues that soured me on it, all the indie favorites were cool but too gimmick-based for my taste...

Meanwhile I'm watching Gleam of Force and poo poo's dope, I only heard tales of it. Also weird to listen to a fighting game OST with vocal tracks.

I can get behind that sentiment of 2016 lacking in 10/10 amazing games. I'd probably put my GotY behind either Stardew Valley or DS3, and one is in a genre that is fundamentally niche if underserved, and the other is the 5th game in a series and didn't do anything really new.
