(Also games are getting expensive) Picked up Cyberpunk 2077 + Jedi Fallen Order during the Steam Winter Sale, and will be starting them shortly once I'm done with Holiday/Uncle things

Oh what a sad day it is, friends, when I have to be the bearer of such bad tidings. Any second now we will be entering the glamour and the glory of the top 30 but in order for us to do so one of our remaining games must face the cruelest of rejections. Which game has failed to make the cut? We haven’t had any word from Signalis yet, we’re still looking for Stray as well and what about Live-A-Live? This is the game you voted as #31…Subjunctive posted:Everything I had hoped it would be. Furious George posted:It feels like a minor miracle. ultrachrist posted:Holds up remarkably well. Anno posted:The best version of one of the best RPGs ever made. fridge corn posted:A powerful showcase of the mercurial nature of video games as an art form. Arrrthritis posted:You're a filthy loving centrist and deserve the worst fate. 31. TACTICS OGRE: REBORN (SquareEnix, 1995, New Entry) 72 points, listed 11 times Thanks to an unexpected remake 1995’s Tactics Ogre becomes the oldest game to ever appear on our chart, a position it is sure to hold for oh, a couple of hours at most…

I wasn’t able to figure out which game it was until I read the quote about the centrist

Pull quotes are the best and the real reason everyone is required to write an explanation of their games
