It legit makes me sad that Mario Odyssey came out later that year because that game was awesome as well. I loved BotW, but it winning best OST over Mario was bullshit.

I'm splitting GOTY 2017 between NierA, Persona 5 and BotW (even though I don't own the last one).

At least getting a new dragon word or a shiny new weapon or piece of gear is more varied than a spirit orb or w/e they were called in botw.

I'm not saying that Skyrim's rewards were good, just that they were better comparatively.

think i shot myself in the foot with berseria going up to impossible difficulty to escape scaling on death but i don't know if i would have stuck with it on easier diff either since whenever i try to mainline gameplay to get to story in games everything starts to feel like a huge slog

idk how lovely people were about the combat when the game released but it's kind of frustrating to me to go through the regular poo poo about it when it's not really a thing i even remotely think about when i say i like the game and barely really consider in any kind of discussion of it

but i'm probably just in a weird mood today and feeling more ticked off by a lot of things than i should

I died once on the fight right before the first boss in Yakuza 0, quit it since I was still under 2 hours played and was going to refund it but I forgot to and now I'm over the time limit so maybe i'll revisit it someday... sounds long though I capped out at 40 hours of DQXI and I really enjoyed that game.

i still like mega man legends but looking back most of it is because of tron bonne and tron bonne's own game has aged much better than either of the legends games, surprisingly, and tron getting to be her own character without relying on anyone else or crushing on mega man is cool

the hosed up thing is that the first chapter boss of yakuza 0 is the only hard thing in the entire game and everything after that is if nothing else really easy to cheese with tons of health items and massive fish cannons. that first chapter though, it can gently caress you up

also yakuza 0 isn't really any longer than that if you're not going for all side content possible which tbh you really shouldn't cause some of the sidequests suck supreme rear end

anyway my hosed up mega man legends take is that with capcom's renewed interest in mega man if they ever go as far as making legends 3 then it's probably in a better place to be made now than it was in 2011 because holy gently caress can you imagine that loving camera on a 3ds with a circle pad pro at best

I never reached the first boss so i feel like i was correct in judging my ability to play that game. Well I keep tricking myself into talking about them because I used to be really into the hobby but I think the truth is I just don't enjoy playing games at all, so it's pointless to talk about whether one I might try is good or not.

On the other hand, this game I found clicking around on steam has a boss that 's just a giant penis that wiggles around like a snake and has tiny cartoon arms, lmfao https://store.steampowered.com/app/704910/Tenta_Shooter__The/

I get the people who feel the combat in nier automata didnt live up to some sort of hype, or were disappointed that it wasn't as complex as in other character action games like Bayonetta, but the people who call the gameplay outright bad just seem to be performative assholes just making GBS threads on the game because of all the praise it gets otherwise.
Like if you want to call the combat in nier automata bad, you kinda have to say the combat in pretty much any action game pre ps3 is bad
Which is, hrm.
