for everyone wonder if animal crossing or hades was gonna win... it wasnt even close lol
is Hades the greatest game of all time?!
― Zach_TBD (Karl Malone), Friday, 26 March 2021 23:21 (three years ago) link
Wow, no Doom Eternal?
― jmm, Friday, 26 March 2021 23:24 (three years ago) link
Called it. I almost gave a couple of points to Last Of Us 2 in a "watched my BF play it and enjoyed doing so" style, but thought I had enough that I'd played myself to leave it.

Thanks, Will! A great rollout as usual.

it is according to this certainly the greatest game of *a* time. that time is 2020. a bad time to be sure. but apparently a good game!
i got it at the same time as another game (actually i just looked it up, i got a buuuunch of games around then) so it kinda fell to the wayside. never got anywhere in it. once i clear some of the stuff off of my current list i'll have to jump back in!

that sure didn't stop me from being trolled by that cyberpunk placement, guess that means i'm a fake gamer
thnaks for the organising this, great work as usual!

Fall Guys easily the game that made me the angriest of last year, it was my #3 I think?

FFS I SHD'VE MADE MY P5 ROYAL BALLOT YOU MONSTERS
― Call of Scampi: Slack Nephrops (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 27 March 2021 11:14 (three years ago) link
Is P5 Royal massively different from the previous iteration? I mean, not that I stick strictly to first release dates either, more just wondering if there was anything hugely 2020 about it.
― emil.y, Saturday, 27 March 2021 15:09 (three years ago) link
(I don't think I expressed myself well there. I know Royal was a 2020 release but I'm just wondering how much new content there actually was.)
― emil.y, Saturday, 27 March 2021 15:11 (three years ago) link
i've only put a couple of (working) weeks in yet so i'm about a fifth in but yes it's definitely different enough, not sure in totally good ways always but fuck it it's Persona they stole my heart
― Call of Scampi: Slack Nephrops (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 27 March 2021 15:13 (three years ago) link
Lots of interesting stuff on this list, I haven't heard of at least 50% of it. Good work will!
A little sad that we got stuff in the Top 10 with only 2 votes, but that's how this year went, I suppose. Let's try harder for 2021!
Though not totally unexpected, still surprised Hades beat Animal Crossing!
I voted TLOU2 for GOTY. I'm fairly sure it's going to be one of those games that sticks with me a long time. Also glad to see others saw Fire Emblem: Three Houses in the same light I did.
Who voted for Trials of Mana? Considering getting that on the cheap.
― Nhex, Saturday, 27 March 2021 15:27 (three years ago) link
I did, it's a neat action rpg where you pick a party of 3 out of 6 selectable characters with their own interlocking storylines, the first one you pick being your main character and each party member can be leveled across 6 (?) different classes
it's relativley short, it took me about 30 hours for one playthrough and i usually take 2 to 3x longer than the consensus average. yakuza 7 was like 90 and i didn't even do all the side stuff nor the secret dungeon
the music is excellent, the english VA is charmingly weird in a 32 bit era way and online people making fun of it was what tipped me over to giving it a try
i played it on switch because i had just got one at the time but i regret it, i think the other versions are 60fps. still a fine port, nothing that ruined my enjoyment or anything

re: Yakuza,
i hit a wall real hard and haven't returned yet
Yeah we walled in Chapter 9 at one of the major boss fights and I don't have the patience to grind or replay the fight over and over so that might be it for me and this game. I think we just weren't levelled up enough, even with me insisting on doing as many side quests as possible.
I still gave it points because I love how bonkers these games are, but I think I prefer the non-RPG Yakuza system, and I didn't find Yokohama to be a super compelling as a setting - possibly just suffers from being a bit too spread out.

otm, the city's way too big compared to how dense kamurocho and sotenbori are. so much pointless running around, i've used the taxi more times in 7 than in all the other yakuzas put together
i'd actually prefer the turn based fights if the ui wasn't a mess and animations were skippable or at least snappier
similar complaint applies to FE:3H monastery sections but at least the combat system's well implemented in that one
― chihuahuau, Sunday, 28 March 2021 00:50 (three years ago) link
man i know everyone loves hades but i'm so hesitant to try it bc i suck at twitchy action and i don't like feeling stressed
― na (NA), Sunday, 28 March 2021 01:10 (three years ago) link
It definitely has a cool way of taking the sting out of losing. It's fun to go back to the start and talk to all the npcs again and get your new powers.
