the secret truth is tristrat is better than fft and orge :ssh:

The combat is better I would say, yeah, though I think I marginally prefer the writing in FFT and Tactics Ogre. Not by a ton, but I do prefer it.

And also sometimes it's fun to have a really customizable army like in FFT and TO, which you don't get in TriStrat. That's one of TriStrat's strengths, to be clear, it's just that I also enjoy the other method too sometimes.

Us Tri Strat heads love that game, I put it over Elden Ring and that was a HARD choice but it had to be done

I think TriStat will be in the top 3 for the opposite reason, it got a lot of first places, maybe the second most after Elden Ring

Fine then,

Gonna call my shot here on the order:

5. Triangle Strategy
4. Pentiment
3. Vampire Survivors
2. Xenoblade Chronicles 3
1. Elden Ring

btw you anti-ffxiv sickos probably won't have to worry about it being #1 again this year either because I doubt the new expac is coming out until like, 2024.

The DQ11 demo is something ridiculous like 12 hours long, anyway it really picks up when you get to the desert city whose name I forget and how long it is until it appears I've also forgotten, but it's not too long. The thing I like best about it is that it feels almost designed to beat in bursts over the course of 2 years

the written summary of what's currently going on in the story when you load the game is ftw

Friends, we have made it to the heady heights of the top 5 which means as is tradition it is time to stop loving about. We are so close now to crowning your Game of the Year for 2022 that we need to get down to business. The game’s fighting it out in this year’s melee are as follows: Pentiment, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Triangle Strategy, Vampire Survivors and, of course, Elden Ring. I would be proud to name any of these the winner of this contest but instead I will have to name this game #5…

Every character providing a different niche or spin on the game mechanics was an excellent way to differentiate the massive cast.

I appreciate any game that lets me say, "man, that guy's shady as gently caress," and then the characters go, "we obviously can't trust that guy."

If you are the kind of person who gets immediately hooked when a game's opening cutscene talks about the political dynamics of trading natural resources you will like this game.

You will be far more invested in trade disparities in the salt market than you ever would be having to fight God with the power of friendship.

I am continually surprised that Triangle Strategy isn't the name of some weird little indy game about roughly drawn triangles that you have to shoot to make smaller triangles or something.

yeah i really prefer tristrat's toolbox style to what FFT and TO does. i like customization too but all your units still have to unique like in troubleshooter or something to have me on board. i say this but i am also the only person who put symphony of war in their top 10 which is closer to the FFT or Orge variety...
