I played a lot of games this year but most of just got into the "yeah this was pretty good" tier so I don't really care about ranking them so I'll just do my top 5 (and don't really have that much to say about most of them either). 5. Shin Megami Tensei V Also just another entry in a long-running franchise. It has all the stuff I like and love about the series and executes it well. I don't think it quite reaches the heights of Nocturne but it is very good. 4. Monster Hunter Rise Yet another Monster Hunter and it's a good one. There isn't much to say here since MH is a very iterative franchise and you generally don't get very large changes between the entries. Rise does a good job of iterating on World and the silkbind gimmick is very good. 3. Metroid Dread Another entry where there isn't much to actually say about it. They finally made a new Metroid and it turns out that Metroid is still great.  2. Sonic 2006 Ok, hear me out. I am not calling this game good, it is in fact the exact opposite of it. Every part of the game is a mess, the laughable story where Sonic has a romance with a goddamn human lady, the physics that seem to change how they work on a whim, terrible controls, horrible loading times and so forth. Somehow the game manages to loop around being incredibly entertaining if you go in knowing what you are in for. It hits the perfect mix of tense gameplay, funny story and being just broken enough that you can kind of work with it once you start understanding the exact ways the brokenness works while still seeing baffling poo poo constantly. Now that I have actually played the game I really understand why this game is so popular with speedrunners. Against all odds I had a great time with this game. No other game is as good at being bad as Sonic 2006 is and that is a goddamn achievement. It is immaculate.  1. New Pokemon Snap I was a big fan of the original Snap as a kid and played it to death. It was really short and kind of shallow but god drat did I love it. New Snap exceeded all the expectations I had for it. They somehow managed make every single Pokemon cute and something you want to see. I really didn't expect to go "Hell yeah that's a loving Morelull!" about pokemon I have never cared about before but they did it. Just an incredible game that really brought out my inner child.

Rarity posted:So for those who don’t know me the way I game is by living in the past. I have an XBox 360, a PS3 and a Wii and I have made it my mission to play every cool game to come out for these consoles. To make my journey easy to track I play games in chronological order of release. Have you considered hit game Sonic 2006?

Bust Rodd posted:Goons: “It’s not a MMO! It’s just like a regular final fantasy game, it doesn’t have ANY MMO BULLSHIT!” idk, mostly people just seem to describe it as a pretty normal MMO except with a good story At least that has been my takeaway
