Re: Talking Point: When Was The Last Time A Game Cracked Your Top Five?

Conisidering I had a 14 year hiatus from gaming, the first game to get me out of that was Shadow of the Colossus. A friend lent me his ps2 when I was laid off at pandemic, Played and beat Shadow 3-4 times then read a ton about BOTW and bought a Switch Lite to play it, 180 hours later I still play it once a week at least. Last system before Switch was GameCube and I really loved Metroid and Eternal Darkness.

Been playing the crap out of Hades and Subnautica recently. Hades is a masterwork IMO.

5) Metroid Prime
4) Eternal Darkness
3) Hades
2) Shadow of the Colossus
1) BOTW ( by a looooong shot )

This doesnt only apply to videogames. This is a major thing with allthings consumer electronics and even many other things. Its a staple of modern day capitalism. Get used to it, until there is a massive sea-change in the system in which we live this will only get worse and all of us are guilty of conforming to it unless you live completely off the grid and without internet or money or tv or anything but the absolute necessities.
