Rarity posted:You're drat right we will! Another edit, UNIST is developed by French Bread. Ecole are the Melty Blood rights owners; French Bread made a Melty Blood fighting game with Ecole, and Sion Eltnum Atlasia makes a crossover appearance in UNIST, but they didn't develop the game.

Excellent countdown, well done Rarity! Nice to see SoulCalibur VI so relatively high, our crew here's soul burns more than other lists I've seen around. EuroGamer's readers for example didn't have it on the top 50, we've got it at 15, I like it. And of course we've got a lot of Yakuza fans over here which is great, that got underrepresented in various places. Great to see 0 get so much love here for 2018. I started 0 when it hit in 2017, and finished it in March 2018, so that's a top tier game across the years there. And nice to see Kiwami 2 so high as well. And a lot of other cool games, glorious stuff folks.

Ya'll scrubs need to play The Missing. But I'll forgive you all because Hitman 2, Pillars 2, and Obra Dinn are so high.

Great to see Celeste and MHW getting goongratulations! MHW was at the top for me until I tried to sabotage its slight lead for the love of a free-fallin Kat-girl. What a great thread. Hopefully next year it'll be even crazier because more people will vote! Thank you, Rarity!

Accordion Man posted:As I said in my list, it intertwines its gameplay and narrative together extremely well and is strongly thematic in a literary sort of way that's still pretty uncommon among games, (It's getting better though, slowly but surely.) and the themes it tackles are still relatively new for games. The Missing is really human and powerful in its approach, it can be really funny one moment and genuinely hard-hitting the next. The characters are great and the ending is absolutely fantastic. The Missing is a must play if you appreciate games as an artistic and narrative medium in any way. That sounds good, thanks for the write-up! /slides it up the wishlist

Great job Rarity and thank you for the hard work! For what it's worth I bought Hitman 2 on holiday sale and it absolutely would have made my top 3 had I started playing it earlier. What an amazing puzzle game that happens to resemble a game about murder. I also got the legacy pack DLC so I guess technically I haven't even started on the Hitman 2 part yet.

Fantastic thread! Thank you for doing this one :-) Really need to play more of Monster Hunter World, and need to pick up Hitman 2. 2019 looks like a lot more of 2018, and that's not a bad thing

That was awesome! Excited to go back through the ~100 game list of lesser known ones to see what I might’ve missed. Help Im Alive posted:I think Assassin's Creed at #7 might be the biggest surprise for me Yeah it’s quite good but also different from the old ones in a big way imo. It’s basically an RPG with a good fighting system now.

I was surprised to see Monster Hunter do so well, mostly because it looked like a poorly made game when I saw it on some streams at release, I might have to give it a second look.

Rarity posted:And this award goes to Capcom! They really are back! Not until I get a good new Breath of Fire  Really though this was an excellent thread that demonstrated a tremendous degree of good goon taste. I already wanted Obra Dinn but this has elevated it to a must-get, while I had no interest in Celeste whatsoever but now am thinking it has to be one of my next buys. Super glad to see Hitman 2 do so well!! A little surprised to see no Paradox games doing better given how fanatical us fans are, but it's not like they lost out to undeserving titles.

I remember watching people play Celeste when it first came out and thinking it looked kind of bland. I ended up picking it up due to all of the praise in this thread and have really enjoyed the first few levels. The movement feels really really good and it has kept things interesting by throwing in new twists to the platforming as I've progressed. It's a neat game!

hosed up that DQ 11 missed the top 10 but I'm satisfied* with that list. Especially now that I've played Spider-Man. My only real surprise is how low VC4 scored. *Assassin's Creed aside smh

Currently, lategame performance (Something to do with how trade routes path through gateways/wormholes, last I heard), and the AI struggles to expand properly, it does fine with existing planets it holds but it's slooooow af to get new ones.

Ubiquitus posted:What did the newest stellar is update break? the new stellaris update completely ripped out a whole game system and replaced it (tiles are replaced with pop containers and where the former max population of a colony was like 25, now it is uncapped and can be in the hundreds) the ai cannot handle it and it actually breaks many of the late game crises. like, imagine how bad 4x ai generally is, and then imagine how bad it can get when you start changing fundamental game rules around they'll fix it eventually probably but it looks like they were in a rush to get this patch out for xmas also other stuff is broken like the mentioned above performance hit - there's a new trade layer which has to path across the map, and it gets real dumb when gateway networks start getting turned on and so the pathing has to deal with warp holes across the map grid. but stuff like that is bad performance broken and not the game being fundamentally unplayable by its own ai of course being a paradox game it doesn't matter that much if the end game content is broken because most people never get to it instead of always sticking to the first 50-100 years of a map and then abandoning it but still

I really wasn't expecting an Assassin's Creed game to by my favorite this year either, but what can I say! I like what I like. The joy of playing video games is that you can always be pleasantly surprised.
