10.29.17 | That BATTLE theme. |

SteakByrnes
10.29.17 | I mean it's Persona 5 so we good |
Masochist
10.29.17 | It's kind of hard to choose, though. Persona 5 came out in the same year as Nier: Automata, Mario Odyssey, Breath of the Wild, and Horizon Zero Dawn. You could make an argument for any of these five games at least, I think (though I haven't tried Odyssey yet, so it's just speculation based on previous Mario games). |
SteakByrnes
10.29.17 | For me it goes Persona 5 > Breath of the Wild > Nier Automata > Cuphead > Hollow Knight
And I haven't gotten the chance to play Odyssey yet but I guarantee it will be at least top 5 |
Astral Abortis
10.29.17 | Top 5 of the year so far:
Breath of the Wild
Resident Evil 7
Cuphead
Divinity: Original Sin II
Nioh |
Masochist
10.29.17 | I haven't played Cuphead yet. That difficulty got me shook.
Also, forgot about Nioh and RE 7. |
Astral Abortis
10.29.17 | It's just trial and error, not really "difficulty". It doesn't require any insane dexterity or high-function (like, say, Ninja Gaiden). You just learn basic patterns and overcome them. |
SteakByrnes
10.29.17 | Cuphead is frustratingly fun, so much satisfaction when you finally beat the game |
Saros
10.29.17 | Even though it's a remake Yakuza Kiwami was pretty neat. Kiwami 2 should be great too. |
Toad
10.29.17 | Cuphead's difficulty is perfect. I don't fish for specifically difficult games and as said before, it's more trial and error than everything else. What I love about the game is that it always feels like your fault when you die as opposed to the game's; the mechanics are so smooth that even losing can feel satisfying as you can tell you're getting better at the game |

10.29.17 | Your taste in games is as shallow as your taste in music, it seems |
AngryLittleAlchemist
10.29.17 | Hard to say. I've only finished 4 new releases this year, but I am planning to try and finish all of the games mentioned in this thread so far(Yes even shit like Yakuza and Divinity Original Sin 2).
So far i'd say :
Sonic Mania > Super Mario Odyssey > Hob > Horizon:Zero Dawn(worst by a pretty big margin, great game still) |
AngryLittleAlchemist
10.29.17 | that's kind of the problem I'm facing, I'd like to get to every amazing game this year, but they all are really beefy games for the most part.
Honestly, I think this is my favorite year as a gamer just from those 4 titles alone. |
brainmelter
10.29.17 | Nier:Automata[3] |
Dewinged
10.29.17 | Don't know about GOTY but the ones i enjoyed the most were RE7, Hellblade and Destiny 2. |
Gyromania
10.29.17 | nier automata, persona 5, re7, gravity rush 2, mario odyssey, wolfenstein, breath of the wild, sonic mania, cuphead... what a fucking year for games. any one of the aforementioned could vie for goty imo. probably the single best year in gaming in a long, long time |

Egarran
10.29.17 | "I've only finished 4 new releases this year,"
Damn. I have a hard time even getting into one game. |
Underflow
10.29.17 | I played a bit of this year's Zelda and it didn't grab me. I know that's not exactly the popular opinion, but I just don't like the redesign of dungeons into smaller "rooms" and the combat where your weapon breaks every five seconds just becomes irritating. |
Astral Abortis
10.29.17 | The two least important aspects of the game right there |
Underflow
10.29.17 | If dungeons are the least important part of a new Zelda game I don't like what Zelda is becoming i guess |
Sinternet
10.29.17 | mario odyssey easy
cuphead 2nd |
teamster
10.29.17 | Wolfenstein II |
BlackwaterPork
10.29.17 | is it better than the new order? |
Slex
10.29.17 | New Wolfenstein is just crazy spectacular so far
However, Breath of the Wild is truly the best game I have ever played |
SteakByrnes
10.29.17 | Sonic Mania is actually part of my top 5, I don't know how I forgot it considering I loved it so much |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.29.17 | I agree, I'm fucking LOVING Wolfenstein 2 so far |
BlackwaterPork
10.29.17 | Might play it then, gotta get me some cliche brute of a hero action |
DarkSideOfLucca
10.29.17 | This and Doom are great because they're actually really well made games but I can also listen to my metal records while playing them |
Clumseee
10.29.17 | What Remains of Edith Finch. |
zakalwe
10.29.17 | Divinity Original Sin II.
Haven’t even played it but the first one is classic. |
Slex
10.29.17 | @Blackwater honestly the best part of Wolfenstein 2 so far is how fleshed out BJ and the characters are, the story is phenomenal so gar |
zakalwe
10.29.17 | Fleshed out BJ!
I’m getting it!!!!! |
Masochist
10.29.17 | I have high hopes for Xenoblade Chronicles 2, as well. |
Slex
10.29.17 | Hahaha fuck I didn't even realize |
BlackwaterPork
10.29.17 | Fleshed out characters sounds much better, in the first game BJ was basically devoid of any character other than the fact he liked a good shag and killing Nazis |
zakalwe
10.29.17 | Who doesn’t |
BlackwaterPork
10.29.17 | Good point |

10.30.17 | That isn't out yet bloc pls |
Gyromania
10.30.17 | really? breath of the wild looks great and all, and i'm sure i'll really enjoy it, but mario odyssey looks like next-level. i'll be extremely surprised if i don't enjoy it vastly more than zelda |
Gyromania
10.30.17 | sonic mania is definitely arcade goty. some of the most fun i had all year - i wish it had some dlc stages coming. doom was pretty great, but in a year filled with so much stellar content it sort of fell off. new wolfenstein looks like a contender for fps goty
|
Vakarian12
10.30.17 | Prey. Fucking amazing
also Endless Space 2 and Original Sin 2 |
TheGreatQ
10.30.17 | I don’t think I’ve played a single game released this year. |
Gyromania
10.30.17 | prey was awful. great graphics, well detailed setting with intriguing enemies, but the controls ruin the game. no matter what i set the controller sensitivity to it feels like the least intuitive fps in years. |
bloc
10.30.17 | Nothing beats Yoshi's Island or Super Mario World |
Gyromania
10.30.17 | the art design is amazing though. galaxy rules but is far more homogeneous and infinitely less good looking and grainier. if anything i think galaxy is much more linear and less open to exploration. i played a kingdom in odyssey and there were so many secrets to unearth, so much freeform exploring to be had; i love that feeling of discovery and connectedness in mario games like sunshine and 64. |
Gyromania
10.30.17 | bloc: both classics, but very different genres from very different times. i prefer yoshi's island of the two.
the reboot of super mario world (3d world for the wii u) was fucking stellar too. |
Gyromania
10.30.17 | fair enough, those things don't bother me though. i think the diversity of its areas is one of its greatest selling points. never getting too bogged down in one particular setting and being outlandish and obscure and grandiose just for the sheer fun and spectacle. bold new vistas for mario. the whole new donk city thing has an excellent theory to support the difference between the real-life-looking humans and mario, which is definitely a stark contrast. reading up on it made it seem less like an inconsistency and more like a bold and clever inclusion |
Gyromania
10.30.17 | i've seen the dragon fight too (couldn't help but spoil it) and immediately thought of dark souls as well haha. like a far, FAR tamer version of darkeater midir lol |
Gyromania
10.30.17 | yeah the gameplay is surprisingly consistent considering how many tricks and various quirky mechanics there are to discover. idk if you played 3d world for the wii u, but the camera was probably my only major criticism to throw at it -- i can't begin to tell you how many times i went for a jump and ended up being way off because of how the camera lined up with it. really poor depth perception at times |
Underflow
10.30.17 | Prey is a lot of fun. |
Gyromania
10.30.17 | Maybe on pc. On ps4 it controls like shit |
Underflow
10.30.17 | It definitely did at launch, but I haven't had any issues with input lag since the second patch. |
AngryLittleAlchemist
10.31.17 | So I finished Odyssey and it was kind of great but also a bit disappointing |
bloc
10.31.17 | Dang already? |
Underflow
10.31.17 | The reviews make it sound like the second coming. |
RedRightHand
10.31.17 | Y'all sleepin on Origins! Gorgeous game with actual fun side quests, and a breath taking lyrics huge map that's alive with things to explore, i love it! |
SteakByrnes
10.31.17 | Like Rayman Origins or what? |
itsyaboicobby
10.31.17 | Super Mario Bros. 2 Babyyy |
Nazzadan
10.31.17 | Nieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer. Game made me feel things
:DAB: |
SteakByrnes
10.31.17 | I think the best game that came out this year was Super Mario Sunshine for the Gamecube |
bloc
10.31.17 | Oh shit yeah Rayman Origins and Legends are godly |
SteakByrnes
10.31.17 | Still is pretty easily Persona 5 for me |
AngryLittleAlchemist
11.04.17 | Playing through the old PS3 uncharted games and lowkey wondering how these games are so loved. Not very excited to get to Lost Legacy .. |
