| KamikazePotato 05/20/24 7:42:27 PM #10 | Because the idea isn't to run Red Lobster as a successful business in the long term - they just want to drain as much money from the company as possible, then move on the the next one. Same thing happened to Toys R Us.

| KamikazePotato 05/20/24 12:54:10 AM #105 | FFX's gameplay holds up but it suffers from being an early attempt at a 3D cinematic experience. This goes beyond just the voice acting. Character animations and scene direction can get really funky. I'd say in that regard it's aged about as poorly as FF9's gameplay, just in a different way.
Neither game has aged nearly poorly enough to make this topic though. We're trying to fit square pegs into round holes here. --- It's Reyn Time. |

Even if a few of them have a somewhat worse reputation now, none of them have dropped to the point where I'd put them on this Rushmore. Probably wouldn't pick any of them even if we extended it to ten candidates. There's just better options.

| KamikazePotato 05/20/24 12:08:38 AM #91 | 'Everyone'? Citation needed. People do think it's too slow but you're blowing that aspect extremely out of proportion. FF9's reception among the fanbase has largely gone up over time - it's definitely more well-regarded these days than in the early 2000s, where it was borderline considered a black sheep due to being overshadowed by 7, 8, and 10. I think it's telling that the only people who have voted for it are B8's most vocal haters of the game.

Or am I? I feel like hating on RBY could be a spicy take in this community. That game was my life for a few years, but I continued to prefer each subsequent release up to and including BW2. It just doesn't excite me anymore, sorry!RBY is a good choice if you're a series fan who keeps up with each new Pokmon game and replays them and ranks them and such. Personally, I'd rather replay RBY than be forced to play Sword and Shield for the first time. --- It's Reyn Time. |

Webtoons technically count for this but nobody is going to vote for them over the classics.sup I would find it difficult to pick ones to vote for though, and that's despite enjoying a lot of them. Webtoons feels more inherently disposable than other pieces of media, and I'm not sure why. It doesn't help that the medium is relatively new, lots of webtoons are unfinished. --- It's Reyn Time. |

I don't know, but I think it's worth pointing out that we didn't even know about Super Mario Bros Wonder yet and nobody knew that Baldur's Gate 3 or Alan Wake 2 was going to be THAT good - at this time last year I thought it was pretty much going to be a slaughter by TOTK and look where we ended up.You're right, and I'm definitely jumping the gun with this topic, but it's fun to theorize. Because if there isn't something that surprises us, I have no idea. Dragon's Dogma 2 was my personal pick for eventual GotY going into 2024 but it dropped the ball in multiple ways. --- It's Reyn Time. |
| Topic | So what wins GotY at the Game Awards this year? |
| KamikazePotato 05/15/24 10:55:59 PM #1 | There's still plenty of time for a surprise hit, but overall this year seems like it's going to be way weaker than 2023. Look at last year's runner-ups:
Alan Wake 2 The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Resident Evil 4 Super Mario Bros. Wonder I think any of those would have been the odds-on favorite in 2024. What do we got this time? Yakuza? Tekken? Dragon's Dogma? Hades 2 eventually? FF7 Rebirth should feel like it has a strong chance but Square has an aura of failure right now. --- It's Reyn Time. |

Probably the most popular dialogue choice in all of FF14. Glad you got to fight an Endsinger after she was made a bit tougher. My personal favorite detail from Endwalker is that the prayers that the Scions give you in the final fight mirror the prayers to try and stop Bahamut years earlier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xOOFCltZuc&t=4m30s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0Hz4RyvEuk&=12m (I timestamped each video, but if that didn't work: first video is 4 minutes 30 seconds in, second videos is 12 minutes in) Thancred and Yshtola even have the exact same poses. --- It's Reyn Time. |
