GOTM is Hitman 2016 imo

What do people think about marrakesh, I only had time to do one run this morning but I didn't really like the school section with one million soldiers. The consulate is cool though.

Just a first impression though, I'm sure I'll figure out better ways to navigate the school.

My personal GOTM would be Beat Saber if I didn't wreck my body every time I play it so I guess it's still Destiny 2

GOTM still Streets of Rogue for me, still trying to get the super versions of each class by beating their main quest, some of which are way way harder than others

Also :krad: is still #1 of all time sorry

I had no idea that the Zelda/Metroid randomizer was a thing and spent a solid 2 minutes in a state of confused panic when I saw oatsngoats playing what I assumed was Super Metroid until Samus found Link's blue armor and then one screen later Link was digging up the screw attack and the screaming just did not stop until a friend explained to me that black magic has been done and made this possible

They just need to add in a Mario game somehow and the trinity will rise to consume all video games

I'm finally playing persona 4 and enjoying it so i guess that's my gotm. i think I'd be more impressed by the combat if i hadn't already played octopath traveler which has a better version of the 'prod for elemental weaknesses' system, but everything else is good so far.

I wonder if these will catch on in a more official sense, or if it's something better left to fan mods? Like sequence breaks, it seems to me (someone who doesn't know how to design a video game) that it would be really hard to make an authored experience that also works well with a randomized on purpose, without just ending up with a roguelite.

It's like if Tony Hawk was still trying to be young and hip at 50. Like no joke he just recently turned 50. I mean you can still be cool at 50 but you usually can't pull off being young and hip by then. And in fact considering his profession he might literally break his hip trying to be hip. Don't attempt a sick-nasty at your age Tony it's not worth breaking your hip over!

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I'm enjoying RDR2 but I think DQXI takes GotM for me. It's such a good game.

I really want to get Hitman 2 and I feel like my inability to spare the cash to buy it now is hurting IOI. I'll grab it on sale when things stop being so tight around the Waffle household.

I think you could make a game that plays very very well randomized (as in the item randomization of romhack randomizers, not full-on roguelike random maps) but I suspect every game that plays better than zelda/metroid randos will end up having to focus so hard on having a good rando experience that there won't also be an option to have curated item placements (or if there is, it'd be worse than just playing a non-randomized zelda/metroid)
