I remember spending like 2-3 hours on portal 2, over ten years ago and not playing more of it. Looks like that needs to be remedied!

VG while we are waiting for Rarity to have her beauty nap please tell us all about why you agree so strongly with Wakka's authoritarian and xenophobic attitudes

:prepop: I will have you know I disowned Wakka for the majority of the game. Intentionally. Kimhari on the other hand...unintentionally. Too much Yuna, Tidus, Auron, Rikku and Lulu symbiosis. Such a powerful gang!

I LOVE the Surge. I LOVE Mass Effect. It is tough to pick between them but I think I chose the Surge first because it is a successful Fromlike. Those are rare.

It is SO good. I played it with LVG at the start of this year and man. If I was allowed to choose that in my list it would have been number one over Echoes of the Eye and FFX. Portal 2 is my ultimate game. Every last thing about it. 10/10!!

strive is such a sick game and it's gotten a shocking amount of people into fighting games who never thought they'd like the genre in their lives. if you want to try one game out of your comfort zone this year make it guilty gear strive. i'm aware the votes are already tallied but i'm campaigning for next year's vote already.

Yeah it's really good. I think their decision to simplify & standardize inputs really paid off. I liken it to Smash Bros, where you do basically the same inputs and get similar results regardless of character, with variance coming from things like speed and power, and a handful of special moves per character. Rather than having to memorize a bunch of unique inputs and playstyles for each character.

E: And it will be on GamePass in a few months!!

I imagine veeg will definitely prefer the PSX ones to IV because he’s all about the characters and IV is like Baby’s First Characters With Some Depth (literally in fridge’s case! ha ha ha). Still a good game though.

I am currently loving the bones out of FF1. It is entirely possible I will pop it over FF7 and maybe more??

I also noticed I have 2 number thirteens in my list and am technically missing a few games so that top forty list is slightly wrong still!

five of my top 10 didn't make the cut (souldiers, grapple dog, prodeus, cuphead: TDLC, trails from zero) but i expected that for three of them. i'm a little disappointed that prodeus didn't make the cut but w/e. i knew grapple dog wouldn't make it because it only has 250 reviews on steam. and souldiers had a mixed score and botched launch so I imagine that scared most people off

I'm quite surprised neither Deathloop nor Chaos Gate: Daemonhunters cracked the Top 75.
