Not giving Justice's Cross best dance album was a crime I shouldn't have been able to overlook but I completely checked out once Taylor beat out Kendrick on best album

Funniky of the nominees this year Taylor should be the frontrunner and correctly so. Its actually a really loving good album and it felt like she went gently caress it I want to be The National and Sufjan so went full indie folk produced by guys from The National. So they'll probably give it Post Malone.

got bored so decided to check out The Game awards because well they're wrong every year anyway mostly, but its fun to look back at see with the benefit of retrospect which games actually stood the test of time like how movies do when some movies win best picture and within a few years are just forgotten (or in the cases of Crash and Green Book so manifestly wrong everyone starts hating everything)

2016 is fun because it went to Overwatch and then now you have Doom 2016 which is in the poll up top for game of the decade (poll not having Bloodborne is a sin)

2014 to Dragon Age:Inquisition over Shadow of Mordor (along with Alien: Isolation and Wolfenstein: The New Order not even being nominated)

i love retrospect

Inquisition in 2014 is fun to look back at because in at least one deep-dive into Bioware an anonymous employee source for the story says that they would have rather not had a game they worked on win GOTY like that because the team couldn't go on to say, "This Bioware Magic time bullshit doesn't work we gotta change that." and that paved the way for Andromeda, Anthem, and whatever else has the teams have tried to get going but had to reboot or cancel throughout the years since then.

Hard to argue against 2017 being an all-timer:

NieR:Automata
Zelda: BotW
Super Mario Odyssey
Horizon Zero Dawn
AC Origins
Destiny 2
Prey
Persona 5
RE7
Hellblade
Night in the Woods
Uncharted: Lost Legacy
Getting Over It
Cuphead
What Remains of Edith Finch

And for those who like such things: PUBG, Yakuza 0, Splatoon 2, Nioh, Injustice 2, Mario + Rabbids, probably a few other of people's favourites

"Eat something made with love and joy - and be forgiven"
One step from Eden is such a cool game

RazzleDazzleHour
Mar 31, 2016

Eden is a cool game but just from my limited playtime, I'm sure there's some sort of optimal strategy in terms of making a deck of a reasonable size for the purposes of actually being able to tell at a glance what attack you have loaded at any given time, but I got to the final boss with my strategy of "just take any item that hits four panels in front of you so you don't have to worry about aiming at all"

Well I guess I'm in the middle of 7 games now? (oh wait I dropped Genshin so I'm back down to 6)


Looks pretty, seems to be a walking game with light puzzle solving? Protagonist is monologuing a lot. She's also like the dude from Nioh and learned everything about a foreign culture from reading a book on the way over lol

Ultimate online seems fine to me when I’m connected by Ethernet. I’m not a fighting game wizard so maybe I don’t notice the input lag. Could the problem be the awful switch WiFi ?

I wish there were stats on how many people use their consoles wired vs. wireless. I definitely use mine wireless because it was a pain in the rear end to move stuff around and I don't play that many games online, but the Switch has an ethernet adapter you have to buy, and you have to be docked to use it, and an SKU of the system doesn't even let you dock and is wifi only so I'd imagine most people are wifi

hopefully you have a less buggy time of it than I did. i graded it a 7/10 because of the bugs, but would've given it a 7.5 or 8 if it wasn't for those pesky softlocks

I actually made a post about this earlier in the thread and I genuinely think it is 2017. Let me find the list I cribbed:

VideoGames posted:

Everytime I look at my top forty list of games, I realise that for me personally, 2017 was the greatest year for new games.

I mean we had these come out in that year:
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Future Tone
Tales of Berseria
Yakuza 0
Nioh
Night in the Woods
Hollow Knight
Horizon Zero Dawn
Breath of the Wild
Nier:Automata
Persona 5
Puyo Puyo Tetris
Dragon Quest Heroes II
Prey
Tekken 7
Splatoon 2
Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice
Sonic Mania
Everybody's Golf
Yakuza Kiwami
KNACK II!!!!
Divinity Original Sin II
Steamworld Dig 2
Golf Story
Cuphead
A Hat in Time
Destiny 2
Assassin's Creed: Origins
Super Mario Odyssey
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus


Of that list I have played all bar 2 of them (Dragon Quest Heroes and Hellblade) and of them 8 appear in my top 40 of all time list - 4 in the top 10.

2017 was exceptionally powerful and I always look at it in complete awe.
