2018

Alright, Boreans, a new year, a new version of this topic.

So far for me:

Trails of Cold Steel IV (PS4)
Robotrek (SNES)

[Kestastrophe]

Links Awakening - was pretty good game, but one of the weaker zeldas ive played. Had to consult a guide a few times, which isnt my fave

Nier automata - awesome game, with an excellent and unique story. I did get a little tired of the gameplay loop at the end, and the enemy variety is its weakest point

[archnemesis]

I haven't played much this year, besides my daily dose of MTG: Arena. Maybe I'll play more once that PS5 arrives.

Jan 9 - Picross S5 (NSW)
Jan 20 - Eight-Minute Empire(NSW)

[Human Snorenado]

Cyberpunk 2077- right now this feels like a solid 8-8.5 game, and I'm sure when all is said and done it will be a 9ish. Not as good as Witcher 3 but in the words of Larry David, "pretty, pretty, pretty good." I just wish CDPR would fire whoever is in charge of menus and UI in their games, because it's universally trash with a lot of the same problems across their games

Mario 64 - The Switch version has some really twitchy controls that make some stars a huge pain in the ass. Wasted the better part of an afternoon getting the 6th star and 100 coin star on Rainbow Ride. This is a guy who got all stars on the DS remake with a D pad without much issue. Nintendo needed to do a better job here.

Mario Galaxy - I still think the Galaxy games are the best mainline Mario games and it was confirmed here. Controls are much better here and it could be because the control stick on the Wii may match the Switch stick more. Fun game still.

Galaxy

The fact they're patching these is great. Probably won't continue after March though, I guess...

Rage 2-A real mediocre game honestly. The actual combat was good, with the guns feeling good. Complete with some guns that have some cool unique functions, but also in the end you have to ask yourself "why don't I just use the assault rifle?". But other than that it just felt like the most generic game of that generation. A PS4/Xbox One era open world game to the core, but without anything to really grab you. The world is mostly empty and not really even cool to look at. Everything feels gamey so there's not really an attempt at immersion or real atmosphere.  There was also so many stat trees and other level up stuff that it becomes pretty well easy to ignore and not care about.

[tiesto]

Trails of Cold Steel IV (PS4)
Robotrek (SNES)

Xenoblade Chronicles DE: Future Connected DLC (all quests done)
Donkey Kong Country 2 (102%)
Tetris Effect (Normal mode clear)

Rage 2-A real mediocre game honestly.

Thanks, you saved me from buying this

Just wrapped up 13 Sentinels, still working on plat. I'm probably not as high on this as most others here. Story was really well designed and intricate, but a bit too convoluted to keep complete track of. I like the actual strat/tower defense game thats here and wish it was more fleshed out. Definitely worth the time and i'm happy that such a weird and original game was made

[demi]

Who here liked 13 Sentinels besides Weeb Molotov? I thought it was a slog and the whole "RTS" bits were dumb and cheeseable with no sense of difficulty

I'm more surprised that the game is getting this praise... there are much better VNs

[Rahxephon91]

13 Sentinels was great. What are better VN?


But I also agree that it was a little too convoluted for its own good. But it was such a love letter to all the types of fiction that I like that couldn’t help but enjoy it. Also it just look and sounded amazing.

My main problem is that it would explain certain plot points hours after the fact. Meaning it’s possible you forgot whatever they were talking about. As whatever the mechanic that needed to be explained was explained in another route you played hours later.

I still haven't opened my copy. Usually I'd have avoided it for the high school protagonists alone, but Odin Sphere had a pretty good story. And it still has Vanillaware graphics, so. We'll see.

[Human Snorenado]

Replayed Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and it's still pretty good, but then I immediately picked up KOTOR 2 and maaaaaaan did Obsidian really shit all over Bioware and Bethesda within the span of about 5ish years by making better games than their predecessors with limited time and resources. Granted I'm playing the TSLRCM version with cut shit patched back in but so many little things in the vanilla game (WRITING and choices having impact obviously, but also itemization, crafting, etc) are just so much better than the first one. I still need to play the Outer Worlds I guess.

[Rufus]

Temper your expectations for Outer Worlds.

[Mr. Gundam]

New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, or whatever it's called. My wife, daughter and I did the whole thing 3-player co-op and holy shit did it get tense at times. I swear my daughter enjoyed fucking with us and making it harder than it needed to be! This is a team building exercise to improve communication skills. We're gonna do 3D World next as a family, pray for us. 

13 Sentinels was great. What are better VN?

428 Shibuya Scramble is the only pure VN I've ever enjoyed. It's really fantastic.

13 Sentinels was amazing. I wasn't expecting much of anything when the genre was finally revealed, but I liked it a lot. It more than likely helps that I enjoy Super Robot Wars, and the "RTS" sections weren't much different.

[G The Resurrected]

Zelda: BotW

[Human Snorenado]

Finished Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II with the restored content mod. I guess peak Obsidian was 2004-10ish? The engine is still kinda trash but man the writing is great on this and New Vegas. Which I will not immediately begin replaying, gonna work through some of the shit I started last year and never bothered to finish next.

[The Sceneman]

Temper your expectations for Outer Worlds.

Its so bad lol. I couldnt play for longer than 20 mins at a time before my eyes literally started getting tired/sore from sheer boredom
