@CammyUnofficial Seriously…Before I had finished the first half of the game, I was convinced it was a ten, now I’m leaning toward a shaky 8.5😬

@x3King84 3rd person for both, just cuz I think that’s where the series is most at home (and I’m a big weenie who doesn’t have the gas for RE7 scares anymore), but I’ll probably do another playthrough where I switch it up for Grace…

Would definitely recommend this one to anyone interested in "liminal space" vibes. I've usually got limited bandwidth for the walking sim genre (even though I keep buying them), but this one really had me wanting to see what was around the next corner...

Reckon I can finally pick this one up, now that they fixed the gravity on that hot dog...

Goodness gracious, those “surprises” are gonna have to do some heavy lifting—that list is grim. Chibi-Robo is currently the most fun I’ve had on this thing

Things have never been the same since Yoshi replaced his saddle with a shell...

@beartown As much as I love a haunted house, both LM and DKB did wear out their welcome for me before I finished em, but in the case of Bananza it happened much, much sooner. I went in with high hopes, but I just found it so samey and visually unpleasant...Like Metroid, this is a series I may only have the gas for in 2D.

Bananza had about five hours of fun for me…I’m glad people are digging it, but it’s hard to imagine that this is the same team that made Odyssey, which was constantly fresh and surprising. I no longer seek bananium off the critical path. I no longer wish to make holes. Maybe I’m depressed.

Did Nintendo just give no one S2 dev kits...?

I might download the app on the merits of this soundtrack alone…what a weird little triumph these tunes were.

Ocarina of Time is like The Eagles of top 100 lists...Both of them have been on top for so long that we don't even consider the possibility that they have aged like milk.

@Elektrogeist1287 Same! Blood Money knocked my socks off, so expectations were mighty high for this one. It didn't move the needle, but I don't really remember the specifics...Glad you enjoyed, though.

I remember this being a real downturn for the series, before the modern trilogy kicked off and righted the ship...Very strange they want to put it back in the public consciousness!

@Uncle_Franklin (the answer would also include final fantasy VII)

Dry bones appears to be dry-humping his own head…

@Vyacheslav333 Waugh!!

That is one fugly bike...I think Samus should just climb into a larger morph ball (a hamster/global gladiators ball)

They had a solid decade to do this on a handheld whose entire gimmick was native 3D, and they instead decide to fill the landfills with this...

Superstars was a messy husk of a game without an ounce of the charm Mania had and some of the worst bosses in the series…I’m amazed Sega even managed to stop shooting themselves in the foot long enough to sign off on Mania in the first place

@purple_shyguy I believe that was the much-beloved Skull & Bones, at least according to whichever of their overpaid execs made that claim…

$50 in 2005 was equal to around $80 today. I know salary increases have not generally been commensurate with inflation (especially the federal minimum wage in the US), but I really don’t get the pearl clutching here. Not jumping for joy over this, but I find the fact that video games haven’t gotten more expensive over the last 20 years much more surprising…

What have they done to my beloved bubble ghost…

Can’t deny that it’s way easier to form a committee than enact any actual changes in your games!

Wait, did the original yoshi sprite always have arms and I’ve just never noticed in 33 years??

Making me have to play ice climbers means a 7 is as high as I can go on this one…

The…the man who said he didn’t think Zelda games should focus on story…? Who was kinda pissy about majora’s mask…?

Wow…downloaded mere minutes before I rolled credits. Crisis averted.

I will generally go to bat for a great deal of Sonic nonsense, but at no point have I ever been concerned about which point in the Mobius Historia am I doing loop-de-loops and jumping on robot monkeys

Zelda games have characters??

Does…does this mean I will have no longer have 100%’d the game…?

Appreciate you waiting for me to finish it last week! Really loved my playthrough, but like most Zelda games, any good story beats ToTK had were wasted on flat characters and a bad script. I dunno, maybe try finally letting Link talk next time, and see if that helps.

…That said, the dragon battle at the end was extremely rad (even if they sold out Zelda’s sacrifice by restoring the status quo immediately afterwards)

Too many (now rare) gameboy/color games to count, especially with the pennies GameStop gives you, though lately I’ve been hung up on trading in a Dreamcast and most of its biggest hits…Why won’t Capcom re-release Power Stone??

@Sisilly_G In the early 90s, Sega had half the market share of the industry, largely on the back of sonic 1 and 2.

The company may be a shadow of that these days, but back then (before internal strife and a rapid succession of flopped consoles) they really did have Nintendo sweating it out.

Ah jeez, this is the first one of these I’ve missed in years…Had no idea they moved up the date

Ah yes, because the switch eShop is otherwise such a carefully cultivated garden of quality…

10/14, somehow…I should buy a lottery ticket

Criminal lack of Barry, as well as his daughter Moira, who in a single game managed to be more interesting than most of the people on this list…

2017 would be the clear winner, but the console was lacking the critical mass of indies that would eventually make it so appealing (to me), so 2018 got my vote…

I wish these developers well, but if you come at the king, you best not miss…

@romanista Hmm…in that case, looks like I’ve got a pretty common bug, that requires me to delete the extra data and reinstall the game…Not sure I wanna risk that, so maybe I’ll just be content with the ol’ badge stash…

Man, why is trilogy still on this list…

Was briefly alarmed to see the percentage the Game Boy Micro got, but then I realized only twelve people have answered so far…

(The micro is a thing of beauty, but it is NOT meant for human hands or eyes)

Folks aren’t wrong about the uneven narrative, but the love that was clearly put into the design made Eastward such an enjoyable world to exist in for 10 or so hours that I was able to overlook the worst of it…I’d be game for some DLC, and hope they’ve taken some of the feedback to heart!

@Arckadius I found the game to be a mechanically shallow one-trick pony that ran out of gas about halfway through…But it IS extremely pretty.

The Staff Roll in Super Mario Land for Game Boy, naturally! God damned life-affirming, it is.

@CharlieGirl Amen! I used to challenge friends to Puzzle Fighter in the arcade almost as a joke, because they knew I couldn’t differentiate between half the tiles and would occasionally just win by dumb luck…

(Also, as much as I love Sonic Mania, nuts to that Mean Bean Machine boss fight for not throwing me a bone with this nonsense…)

@ImmaWario I know I’m in the minority here, but between those three, I’d avoid death’s door…It def has some charming visuals, but repetitive encounter design, inconsistent difficulty, and what I felt was a pretty flat progression system kind of ruined it for me. Was really surprised how much of an indie darling it had become…

As much as I’d do terrible things for a sequel, I guess I’m mostly just glad that Sega got over themselves long enough to allow this to come together in the first place…

The fact that I can’t exchange a five dollar bill for 1-2 Switch continues to astound
