There sure is a lot of accepting that the world has a lot of fucked up, but not super fucked up, people in it and saying we shouldn't ever even try to strive for any better in this topic.

Dan is not a pedophile and probably not technically a groomer, but he's a bona fide manipulative piece of shit, and has a reputation for going after barely-of-age women with insecurities, getting what he wants, and then disappearing from their lives.

Rock can attest for me that I've done NSP-related projects on the board and was a massive fan of both them and Game Grumps. Dan was always my favorite the moment he joined the GG crew. But I can't continue following either of them because every time I do, it will just remind me of how two-faced and awful he is.

Was running through my Steam library to see if there was anything I forgot, otherwise probably would've gone with Fire Emblem Heroes. But I came across a game I never would've expected to eclipse the 50 hour mark, let alone the 107 hours I apparently have logged into it?!

Game Dev Tycoon

That's gotta be some scenario where I just left it on at some point because no fucking way have I actively played that game for over 4 full days.

Since you've stated that you've played AAI2 as well, gonna chime in that Reclaimed is also my favorite non-finale case, just ahead of 3-2, 5-2, and E2-3, and my 4th favorite case overall behind 6-2, 2-4, and 3-5.

I got Moderna. My arm was very sore after the first shot, like if I lifted the rest of my arm above my shoulder, I felt a really sharp pain.

Got my second shot, and it felt like I might have had a slight fever, but I didn't take my temperature, so I don't know. My arm was only like 40% as sore as after the first shot.

#2 - The Outer Wilds (PC, my GotY for 2019)


This game may well be the very reason I wanted to start this project in the first place. I honestly didnt think this game would be my kind of game when I bought it. It was pitched to me as an open-world exploration game where you go to different planets and solve puzzles that will give you clues on how to solve puzzles on other planets. My initial thought was that it would be like The Witness, which is a game I enjoyed, but wasnt something I considered exceptional. I passed on trying it until the beginning of last year when an Epic Games sale put the game down to $15 plus a $10 coupon to be used on something else. I decided to jump on that, but even then, it just sat there on my computer for a while. When summer hit, I had a lot of free time on my hands, and started a new game binging spree, with Outer Wilds at the forefront.

Little did I know that this first game was about to change my life. Discord has documented a timeline for when I played the game. I started the game the night of May 19, and beat the game in the wee hours of May 21 after a 14-hour marathon play segment. I was fucking glued to this game from the moment I started. And every single moment of that time I spent was worth it. There are certain high points to the game, but there are no low points. Its absolutely insane how much everything in this game comes together to make such a perfect experience.

I will do better to explain the overall premise than I had first heard. You start out as an anthropomorphic amphibian who has just earned his space pilots license. You are tasked with using a newly-developed technology that is able to translate a long-extinct mammal races writing (the Nomai) that is scattered all over the solar system. You must commandeer your wooden spaceship around the various nearby planetary bodies and try to figure out why they suddenly disappeared. There are no upgrades or new abilities you will ever acquire over the course of the game. The only hindrance to progress you can make in the game is knowledge about how the planets around you function. I could boot the game up right now, on a new file, and go beat the game just as easy as I did at the end of my 30-hour file, in a matter of about 20 minutes, because I know all the beats.



This is an example for how your first voyage might go, as you begin playing this game. You head to the giant water planet with a dozen constant tornadoes called Giants Deep. There are a few areas of note there where you can read some general info about how the old Nomai lived and find a few areas you dont know how to get into. When youre done, you then take off toward the crumbling planet with a black hole core, called Brittle Hollow. There, you learn some more general plot points, and figure out a new, useful tidbit that would teach you how to progress somewhere on the twin planets where sand flows back and forth: the Ash Twins. You decide to head there, and go to the new place you figured out, and you find another clue for how to get to one of the areas you couldnt figure out on Giants Deep, so now you can go back there and learn something else new.

Of course, your first voyage might also be a 30 second trip into the center of the sun. You really havent played the game correctly unless youve met a fiery end to the sun at least once. Obviously, the entire game isnt this cut and dry. Many of the clues you come across are quite vague, and its up to you to piece the clues together to reason out how to proceed, especially towards the endgame. The game is very loosely a Metroidvania where you return to places youve been before because you can get into new areas there now. Its just that youre utilizing knowledge of how it all works to get in, not a new upgrade or something.

This idea for a game is neat, but it wouldnt be nearly as great as it is if it hadnt supplemented some of the most exceptional storytelling Ive ever witnessed. Im typically not a fan whenever a game decides to tell, rather than show, but Outer Wilds kinda does both at the same time, to amazing effect. You will read about something the Nomai discovered thousands of years ago, but its a big hint for what youre supposed to do and you will just get to experience what they discovered for yourself. As a massive bonus, the Nomais tale is told spectacularly. No matter what order you view them in, you will get attached to certain names, and they all have distinct personalities in their writing.



Despite all this praise Im heaping on the journey, the destination makes even more of an impact. There is an ending to the game, and its absolutely phenomenal. Its literally changed my way of thinking about life and our individual role in the universe. Similar to the Danganronpa games Ive listed, Ive loved checking out other peoples playthroughs on YouTube. If you would care to check out some of my favorites, I would recommend Vinnys from Vinesauce for its entertainment value, and Materwelonz for its critical thinking and emotional values.

There isnt a single negative thing I can conjure up about this game. Upon reflection, I do believe I lied in my Ghost Trick and Undertale write-ups. Outer Wilds might actually be the most flawless game Ive ever played, and its a much greater undertaking than those games are. The characters are all full of so much personality, those that are alive andthe ones that are dead. The music is also perfect. You only get stingers for most of the game, until you happen upon something particularly important, at which point a little 1-minute melody will play that fits the particular mood. Make it to a fun experiment room? A happy little ditty will play as you peruse the area. Follow a lead that turns into a disaster? A somber tune will course through your ears. And yet the piece that will stick with me the longest is 100% this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVGlXbApOCs

There isnt a single song that will get more of a visceral reaction out of me than hearing this one in-game. If youve played it, you know why.

Theres always that question hopping around Board 8 of if you had the pen from Men in Black and were able to erase a single game from your memory so you could experience it for the first time again, what would it be? My answer would be Outer Wilds, 100%. Since that will never be a realistic option for anyone, if Ive managed to persuade you to give the game a shot, let me know. Experiencing one of my absolute favorite games of all-time again through my friends is as close to that as I will ever be able to get.

ASTROLOGICAL OBJECT RANKINGS:
Ash Twins > Giants Deep > Mystery Moon > Timber Hearth > Interloper > Dark Bramble > Attlerock > Brittle Hollow

#3 - Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence (PS2, my GotY for 2004)


The final of my unassailable top 3 from a decade ago. Its held up the best of them to me, on account of being the most replayable one, by far. Mainly because the game is just chock full of fun shit to do. Its also the best James Bond game ever made.

You play as Naked Snake, years before the events of any of the other Metal Gear games. Your mentor, The Boss, is on your codec, ready to help you on your mission to rescue an experimental weapons designer named Sokolov. You are able to get to him, but the plan goes awry when The Boss defects to the Soviet Union, bringing with her a few nuclear warheads as a gift. Prime Asshole Colonel Volgin decides to take one of them out for a spin, and nukes his own city. Then the real mission begins: rescue Sokolov, sabotage Volgins weapon development, and take out The Boss to establish The United States disinvolvement with the whole thing.

Along the way, you have a fantastic support team on your codec, with Para-Medic and Sigint, you get to meet a few younger versions of established Metal Gear favorites, like Revolver Ocelot, and some great new characters, like EVA. MGS3 has one of the strongest casts of any video game Ive ever played. The dialogue with the codec team in particular can get really wacky, and its great.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COdkHuogVkw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqS18aj6Vis

The overall story for MGS3 is one of the best Ive ever encountered, too. The Bosss story is phenomenal. Its no wonder it spawned a sequel game on its own in Peace Walker. There are plenty of twists and turns, and of course, it wouldnt be a Metal Gear game without a half hour cutscene at the end to wrap it all up. Except this time, its arguably the best part of the game. I think it was the first time in my life that a video games story ever made me cry.



Meanwhile, the game is ridiculously fun as well. If you were to take the game completely seriously, it would still be a good time, but you would be missing out on the absurd amount of cheese they instilled into it that makes it truly fun. When I said before that Undertale is the game that has the most alternate dialogue, I would say MGS3 is a worthy contender for that title as well.

You can tranq snakes and rabbits and stuff, and then throw them on guards to attack them. Theres a secret minigame where you play a completely different hack-n-slash game if you save and reload at a certain point in the game. Theres a boss you can kill during a cutscene if youre really quick on the trigger, and completely skip his fight later in the game. If you go into your cure menu, you can spin yourself around, and if you do that for too long, when you return to the game, you will throw up. You can make yourself do this on a poor unconscious guards face, if you wish. You can get an alligator hat, and if you crawl around some cover with it on, then poke your head up, guards will get scared and run away. Punching guards in the dick is a OHKO.



Theres always something new that pops up every time I play. And I play it quite often. Its just a dumb game where everything came together just right to create the perfect Metal Gear experience. Well, after Subsistence came out anyway. I actually never played Snake Eater, but I read that it originally had like a MGS2 camera, and it made it really difficult to navigate the outdoors. It also tried a multiplayer MGS mode, but I honestly thought it was pretty meh. But the base game is so fucking good, it really didnt need it.

SECRET THEATER RANKINGS:
Payback > The Ultimate Weapon > Gotcha this time! > Metal Gear S > The Beginning of the End > Metal Gear Raiden: Snake Eraser > The Quick Version > Diehard > Close Call > the rest are all garbage, don't even bother watching

#4 - F-Zero GX (GCN, my GotY for 2003)


A vast majority of the games in my top 20 are made with the intention of playing through it once, maybe twice to see some extra easter eggs and scenes you missed the first time around, so you can enjoy a nice story. F-Zero GX is most certainly the specialest of exceptions. I could boot up and play this game any time, anywhere, whether with people or just by myself, and have an absolute blast, guaranteed.

Its amazing that this game existed back in the early 2000s, or that its predecessor on the N64 existed even before that. A game that allowed 30 racers all on screen at once was completely unheard of back then, and is still extremely rare today. However, I feel like F-Zero X was more of a test run of what the series could possibly do. Maybe its just a sign that I didn't possess the right skillset back in my early teens for a racer that required the most technical movements and absolute quickest of reflexes, but I could never quite grasp how to succeed at it. Most of my time spent playing it was dedicated to the Death Race, which tasked you with killing every single one of your 29 adversaries as quickly as you could. For having such a grim title, it was a pretty chill mode. It didnt have a time limit, so I just honed my skills over and over. It didnt make me a better racer for the rest of the game, but it sure made me a more sadistic driver.

But I was ready when the series came back in 2003. I was ready to push my skills and patience to its limits.



Just kidding, I still fucking sucked at video games back then and I couldnt beat Chapter 7 of the story mode or the second-to-hardest difficulty Grand Prix. I enjoyed my time with the main game modes, though. F-Zero was going to make a fan of me yet. It actually wasnt until after I graduated high school that I would finally be able to master this game fully. And I dont say those words lightly; you have to master this game in order to beat everything it has to offer.

The longer we go without another F-Zero game, the more I fall in love with this one. I go back to play through it all nowadays every 2 or 3 years. Starting with the default 30 and unlocking all the create-a-ship parts and new drivers is so satisfying. Having to buy new story chapters when the previous chapter didnt give you enough credits to do so is not so satisfying, but whatever. The game controls like an absolute dream and runs at a constant 60 FPS. Every time you fuck up in it can entirely be attributed to something you did wrong. Well, I guess there are times where the course dips in and youre driving too fast and fly off the track, and that might feel a bit unfair, but other than that, its all on you. The hitboxes are great for both the cars and the track. Ive never felt like Ive driven a perfect race and didnt win. Yes, Chapter 7 literally makes you drive a perfect race for 5 whole laps, but it can be done, as evidenced by the time I streamed it last year:
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/650447651

There isnt much else to say. Its a racing game where the racing itself feels miles ahead of anything else ever made. If there was one more thing I had to add, its how fucking goofy the story is. It just constantly hams up Captain Falcon being this amazing driver and bounty hunter, and hes trying to save the city from the evil Black Shadow, but he keeps getting wrapped up in these crazy hijinks. And the songs that play in the background are the most cheezy fucking songs Ive ever heard.



These are actual lyrics to the song after you beat the story:
When myopic confusion threatens your lunch
Falcon will be unleashing a Falcon Punch.
Thank heavens hes on the right side
Or else thered be nowhere to hide.
Give it up for the Capitn!
Three cheers for the Falcon!

I dont know what the fuck these lyrics are doing in this game, but I love how dumb they are. And every single one of the 40 racers in the game get their own theme song. They literally never play during the course of the actual game. You have to go to their profile and play them there. Some just feel like throwaway tracks, but a few of them are really good. Its very bizarre to me that theyd put in all the effort to do something like this and never showcase it in-game, but its still a welcome addition.



Can we please get another F-Zero game? Please? Nintendo why have you forsaken us? Just some GX Online would be killer. Actually, maybe not, given their track record with online services. Its already bad enough with 4 players in Smash, I can only imagine how god awful a race with 30 players would be like. But I still want more, dammit!

#5 - Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective (DS, my GotY for 2010)


Ghost Trick is a game from the mind of Shu Takumi, the man behind a lot of the Ace Attorney games. You play as Sissel, a man who has recently bitten the big one and now occupies the ghost world. He quickly learns that he now has the power to possess small objects and manipulate them. However, this isnt even close to the limits of what he can do. If he comes across a recently deceased person, he can then travel back to their final 4 minutes and use his ghost tricks to try to save them in some way. Hes going to have to make the most of these powers to obtain clues and testimonies from the people around him to remember who he is and why he was killed, and he only has one night to do it.

This is probably the easiest game on my entire list to explain why it is where it is. Ghost Trick is quite simply my favorite video game story of all-time. Its just a wonderful tale about a couple of good [REDACTED] saving all their friends. And thats great.



It also has a pretty great game surrounding it. After Undertale, this is probably the game closest to being absolutely perfect for me. The puzzles you solve when saving people are pretty nifty. The level design is stellar. Everything is very meticulously placed and it leads to some fantastic solutions.

The graphics arent anything special, but my god, the animations are ridiculous. Its unbelievable that this game came out over 10 years ago on a mobile gaming machine. All of the characters look really, really good in motion, but Im just gonna post the absolute star of the show. Look at this slick motherfucker:

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/74/bb/8d/74bb8dcf6d74caf3f1b435e1f2cdf4ea.gif

I dont know what exactly is happening in any of these, but Id be lying my ass off if I said Im not super entranced by every one of them.

Even the supporting cast is so full of life. Bailey the prison guard is my all-time favorite character of no importance whatsoever. The musician plays a riff on his guitar every time he takes a step and its just wonderful. All these tiny little characters that do nothing have personalities and you can just watch them be themselves and its great.



And the music is great, too. The second half of the game is filled to the brim with absolute bangers. I would post some, but the thumbnails in the recommended videos are just as filled with massive spoilers.

Also, this games plot goes some places. One of my most hated writing decisions is to just drop a plot twist or a story element out of nowhere with no provocation. Only Arti will understand this segment, but its why I dont like F/GOs stories that much, and I want to rant about SE.RA.PH real quick. Uh-oh, we fell down a very long chasm what do we do oh never mind someone just magicd a five kilometer wire out of nothing. Wait whaaaaaat the big bad of the story was disguised as a random employee because I dunno just so we could have a plot twist I guess?! Fuck F/GOs stories, theyre all fucking like this and I hate it, and yet I keep playing anyway. God Im stupid.

.. What was I doing again? OH RIGHT. So plot twists. I enjoy some really good foreshadowing in my stories. And Ghost Trick is basically Foreshadowed Plot Twists: The Game. There are an insane number of little tidbits along the course of the story. Youre bound to find at least 3 little breadcrumbs every single chapter, trying to guide you to what the game is about to reveal to you. I want to go on and on about how much I fucking love this games story, but I cant, or Id spoil everything. So I will anyway! Yay time for the black bars!

EVERYONE IS NICE AND IS FRIENDS YAAAAAY GOOD JOB LITTLE ANIMALS YOU ARE TRULY WONDERFUL. I KNOW YOU PULLED A GUN ON A LITTLE GIRL BUT THAT WAS JUST CUZ OF ACAB ITS OK YOU CAN STILL BE OUR FRIEND LETS HAVE A HAPPY BIRTHDAY PARTY DURING THE ENDING CUTSCENE WHERE THE MOM IS STILL OK AND THEN THE DOG WILL COME SPINNING THROUGH THE DOOR WHEEEEE

I don't just like the story because it's a story where everyone is nice, it's because it's a story where everyone is nice, but because of the way it's told, it only seems like everyone in the game is at odds with each other the entire time. Then when more and more of the underlying motives of everyone gets revealed, and/or more people can start to trust the mystery ghost man, only then does everyone realize they're ultimately working toward the same goal and can begin to work together. It's masterfully told, and I'm sorta sad that the way the story unfolds makes Ghost Trick completely incompatible with a potential sequel. It exists as an entirely isolated story, and you know what? I'm OK with that. It's a perfectly isolated story and it just means a shoed-in sequel can never ruin it.

CHARACTER RANKINGS:
Missile > Sissel > Lynne > Justice Minister > Bailey > Cabanela > Pigeon Guy > Jowd > Chicken Kitchen Chef > Yomiel > Temsik Park Hippie > Kamila > Undercover Waitress > Nearsighted Jeego > Romance Novelist > Foreign Guy That Hits The Buttons Then Smacks The Podium > Sausage Head

Also, this game has a very obviously bad guy named Sith. Who couldve guessed hed be a bad guy?!

#7 - Persona 4 Golden (VITA, my GotY for 2012 [sorry VLR, switched to Golden so your 2012 GotY has been rescinded] and 2008)


Back in the early 2000s, I had heard faint rumblings about this transformative JRPG called Persona 3. I didnt really know the first thing about Japanese culture back then, but the gameplay loop seemed neat. One day, I found a used PS2 copy at the local Gamestop, and figured Id take the risk. A few months into the game, being unable to control my squadmates drove them to do something really stupid, every died, and I lost like an hour of progress. This was the third time it happened, and I just wasnt invested enough to deal with that bullshit time after time, so I gave up for good and havent touched the game since.

A few years later, the new Persona comes out and lets you control everyone you want. Im a bit unconvinced though, because it sounds like culture shock for 2008 me. The most weeb thing Id done at that age was watch Adult Swim on Saturdays occasionally. I just decided to pass on it for quite a while.

Then a few years later, Giant Bomb picked the game up for their Endurance Run series. The escapades of Charlie Tunoku and Co. really sold the game on me, and I quit watching a bit into the first dungeon so I could play it myself. Coincidentally, Punny was having a big game sale on eBay right around there, and Persona 4 was on the docket. As soon as it arrived over Christmas Break of 2011, I started it up, and flew through the entire game in a matter of a month.

Less than half a year later, a new version was out on VITA with bonus content and a lot of quality of life upgrades that sounded great. Except I didnt have a VITA. But shortly after, I learned of the existence of CowBoom, a Best Buy subsidiary that sells closeout and refurbished stuff, and they had a slightly used VITA for sale for under $100 back in late 2013. That is a more-than-acceptable price of admission for this and the recently-announced localization of Danganronpa. Given the content of my top 10 so far, I would say thats one of the best $100 Ive ever spent.



Persona 4 was already an incredible game. You play as a transfer student that has to move out to a small town called Inaba, to stay with your uncle for a year for.. reasons. There, you start school, meet a bunch of friends, and have a wonderful time, talking about rumors around town about a channel that comes on the TV if you leave it off at midnight on a rainy night and whatnot.

Well, for two whole days, before some random person ends up murdered in town, and the police carry out a big investigation to try and catch the culprit. Later, you figure out that the Midnight Channel rumors are steeped in truth, and beyond the screen lies a foggy world full of shadowy monsters. Fairly quickly, you deduce that the people you find in that world have been thrown in against their will and are murdered if they arent rescued after a few weeks. Throughout the rest of the game, you persuade several of your classmates to accept themselves, so they can join you in battling the shadows in your quest to get to the bottom of the origin of the TV world and solve the mystery behind Inabas attempted murder spree.



Its a solid, if bizarre, setup for a game, but it primarily works because of its exceptionally strong cast of characters. Every single Investigation Team member has a lot of charm to them, and they interact super well together. They are all incredibly realistic, have relatable issues, and react to goings-on in ways that make perfect sense. Everyone has high stakes in teaming up together, and while theyre all just hanging out, their banter back in forth is hilarious. I would go as far as to say Persona 4s cast is the strongest in any video game Ive ever played. Even the supporting cast is super great, especially the close ones like Dojima, Nanako, Adachi, and most importantly, the fox.

The gameplay is right up my alley, too. Trying to take as few runs at the dungeon as possible, by limiting the magic you use as you navigate floors is a great mechanic. In most RPGs, the only limit to how much you grind is the amount of time youre willing to spend doing it. If you misuse your resources, you can just go back to a town and sleep in an inn or stock back up on items. In Persona, if youre too wasteful, thats going to cost you a precious day that could be spent raising stats elsewhere. It leads to some crucial decisions that otherwise wouldnt hold any weight whatsoever. I know these enemies are all weak to wind, and I could just cast Magarula and be done with this battle instantly, but I could also probably just do regular attacks for most of this and heal up later, which would cost me less SP in the long run. I wouldnt consider myself a JRPG expert, but I dont think Ive ever come across another game where nuke all of your opponents with a medium-sized spell isnt necessarily the correct choice.

Then youve got your personas. The main concept of the game is going through dungeons, acquiring new personas, using those, and then when they become obsolete, you fuse together two lackluster ones into a better one with better moves, and you can inherit the old moves, so they have a nice mix of relevance and strength, and then maybe that persona gets used in a triple fusion and becomes a mega persona. It gets addictive trying to find out paths to get personas that would be very useful that can resist as many elements as possible. The personas are pretty cool, too. Every time I go through, I kinda have a set list of my favorite, most useful ones: Sarasvati -> Rakshasa -> Parvati -> Black Frost -> Kikuri Hime -> Hariti -> Thor -> Sraosha -> Futsunushi -> Zaou Gongen/Lucifer (Priestess is OP). Also, one of them is a dick chariot.



Persona 4 Golden is definitely the way to play this game nowadays. There are new areas to explore, new scenes to view, new minigames to play, new social links to max out, and a brand new ending to get. You can choose what skills your personas inherit when fusing (what a fucking godsend, I spent at least 10 hours wasting my time with this bullshit in the base game). You can see what everyone else who played the game decided to do every day. There are tag team attacks, chariot attacks, all-out attacks that are boosted by Rise, more voice-overs, more music, all kinds of stuff. And on top of that, you get to tweak the difficulty to your choosing. Do you want tougher enemies, but for them to still give you lots of exp and money so you dont have to grind? You can tweak all of those completely separately, to get the experience you want.

Its strange to say that it is both better than DR2 as a story and a game, and yet its only 2 spots higher, but thats kind of the nature of my top 10. They are all very near and dear to my heart. Anyway, I cant think of any way to segue into this fluidly, but I have to post this screenshot because its my favorite line in the game.



Very relatable, Monosuke, thank you.

Lets go over the various ways V3 improves on DR2. The cast is a more cohesive unit. In DR1, there were a select few who drove every class trial, and they all had a set role to play. The characters themselves arent good, but they all at least played off each other fairly well. DR2 had better characters, but they all just kinda existed in their own universe. Again, two or three characters drove the story and everyone else just kinda interjected with their own gimmick every now and then. For the first time in the series, V3 is able to both deliver some very well-written characters, AND make every single one of them important to the overall game. Plus, they all actively contribute to the trials, which is honestly really cool to see. All 16 students have their own time to shine over the course of the game. I couldnt point to a single cast member and say with conviction, this game couldve done better than them. Like, yeah, obviously I like some characters more than others, but they all fill a specific role that is hard to improve on.



The game is streamlined better, and much more fun to play. Coins are handed out en masse, so theres no need to try and cherry pick items to give to classmates. Theres a casino to play DRs minigames whenever you want to make even more money. Speaking of which, the minigames tutorials actually make a slight bit of sense this time. Anyone whos played DR2 knows that the tutorials are completely fucking useless in that game.

Then, once youre done with the main game, they actually have other game modes that are worth your time. Instead of arbitrarily playing a dumb resource-gathering minigame in order to keep spending time with the students, theres a dating reality show-style game where the interactions between students are front-and-center. Which is cool, but the real meat of the post-game lies in the Ultimate Talent Development Plan and the Despair Dungeon.

The Development Plan lets you select a character from any of the three games, and play a board game where you have 3 years to accrue as many stats and useful abilities as you can. Through these 3 years, you get to see several interactions between characters that never wouldve met in the canon series timeline that make up a lot of memorable scenes. Once you finish the board game, you take your built-up characters, create a party of 4 Ultimates, and then go through the Despair Dungeon, a 2D dungeon crawler with turn-based RPG battles and bosses every 10 floors. The further you can get in Despair Dungeon, the better base characters you get access to for the Development Plan mode. Then you take the new, better characters back into the board game, accrue better stats and abilities, and go back into the dungeon to try and go even further and get all the best units. Its a very addictive game loop, and Im a bit embarrassed to say that Ive spent an absurd amount of time 100%ing this mode twice over.



But I digress. The real reason this game is up here is because of the story. I fucking loooooved going through this game for the first time. Danganronpa has some killer starting cases, but 3-1 manages to still blow the other two completely out of the water. I dropped everything I was holding. 3-2 is pretty solid, and kept me guessing for most of the trial, which is something half the cases in the series dont manage to do. 3-3 has perhaps the greatest buildup to a mid-game case in the entire series. It doesnt capitalize on literally anything it builds up, but at least the pre-trial is fun. As is the case with the other games, the 4th case is where the game ramps everything up, and I will admit that 3-4 made me cry my first time through. 3-5 is also stellar, but 3-6 is when everything comes to a head. As I said in my intro, I actually hated this trial my first time through, but its become one of my favorite parts of the series over time. Its also one of my favorite sections to watch other people experience for the first time. I just wish it didnt drag on so long.

#8 - Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony (VITA, my GotY for 2017)


PSYCH, Danganronpa V3s here too. I did not lie in my DR2 write-up. At one point, I actually did get so mad that I had to just forget about the game for a bit. Those who have played DRV3 could have probably guessed that it was because of the games final trial. But then over the next few days, I had some time to dwell on it, and I came around on it, hard. It is such a scathing commentary on video games in general, and I have a feeling its going to have a Metal Gear Solid 2 effect, where everyone looks back on it years down the road, and thinks man, they really called this shit years ago, huh? Not that the world is going to end up doing literally what happens in the game, obviously. Its just that I believe the overall sentiment is spot-on, and DRV3s ending has since become one of my favorites of all-time. You could probably fit the last hour and a half of it into about 45 minutes of a more succinct script, but hey. If theres one thing Danganronpa is good it, its making its dialogue last waaaaaaay too fucking long.

Anyway, for the overview, Danganronpa V3 has the arduous task of following up a sequel that carried the franchise up from really cool premise, but actually dogshit to still a really cool premise, but now it has an awesome story with amazing cases and decent writing, except the gameplay still cant seem to get out of its own way sometimes. V3 succeeded in delivering an even more gripping story with a much more cohesive cast and way better writing. And for the first time in the series, there isnt a single bad minigame! None of them are terribly fun on their own (RIP Logic Dive), but theyre all somehow not a total waste of time! Also, the Nonstop Debates are by far at their best in this game. The previous games just kinda had regular old text, and sometimes they float across the screen.. and thats about it. V3 has text animations. Riveting! But seriously, the style in V3 is very cool, and really gives the game a much needed make-over.

#9 - Undertale (PC, 2015)


There is a very short list of games I would personally consider perfect. In fact, that list may include just a single game on it. And thats Undertale. Every other video game Ive ever played, whether on this list or otherwise, I could come up with some facet of the game I would like to change, and I believe it would be an objectively better game. I dont know what I could ever change about Undertale to improve it. It identifies its target audience and barrages them with such a focused experience tailored to exactly them superbly. I would say Im part of that audience. Not quite the bullseye of that target audience dartboard, but somewhere in the outskirts (maybe like a double 18) to the point that most of its merits are still a solid hit with me.

On the surface, Undertale is just a fun, little RPG Maker game with a unique battle system, made almost entirely by a single person. You play as a human child who has fallen into monster territory, after the human race banished them to live in the underground as the result of a huge race war. As you might expect, most monsters arent terribly excited to see you there and will start fights with you. Random battles will pop up, and when they attack, they summon little white damage areas that you have to dodge. Its kinda reminiscent of Paper Mario, in that you have a lot of control over how much damage you take while on the defensive, though Undertale is a bit more engaging.



Then when its your turn, you have several options. No matter who youre up against, you can always just FIGHT them, take them out, and gain EXP and LV, become stronger and move on. But thats not what the game really wants you to do. It is specifically advertised as the RPG game where you don't have to destroy anyone. Thats where your other battle options come in. One of them is ACT, wherein you have a few courses of action, depending on what monster you are fighting. These can range from petting the monster, to singing with them, to trying to eat them. There will typically be some combination of actions that will then allow you to use one of your final options, MERCY, to spare their life, and move on without growing stronger.

It helps when the story and cast of characters are so god damn strong. Every character may not click with you personally, but all of them have the potential to. They all lean pretty hard into being sorta awkward and cheesy that a lot of people the game is specifically targeted to can relate to personally. Theres an anthropomorphic goat who loves awful jokes that is desperate to help anyone whos in trouble, but gets a bit too overbearing about it a lot of the time. Theres a skeleton in the game whose defining personality trait is trying to look cool and make friends, when really hes just a big silly goofball who just wants some company. Theres a lizard scientist who is a massive nerd who gets obsessed with anime and is desperate to have someone to talk to about them without feeling ashamed about it. They all are extremely endearing and have clear flaws that really speak to who the game is trying to tell its OK to have flaws as long as you are trying to be a good person. The story twists and turns, never really having a dull moment, and ultimately delivers an extremely powerful ending. Even if this was all there was to the game, I think it would be pretty unique and charming.



But I give basically all of the credit to Toby Foxs ingenuity for why Undertale is elevated to excellent status. There are several corners he couldve cut when developing this game, but he never did. I swear he thought of everything. He has his finger on the pulse of gaming tendencies and put in tons of shit rewarding players for trying something outside the box. At any point, if youre playing this game, and come up with some funny thing out of the norm to try and see if something different happens, theres a 99% chance it will. I would say that Undertale is the game most chock-full of alternate dialogue of anything out there, AAA or otherwise. It is absolutely absurd the amount of content this little indie game is packed with, just waiting for you to discover. People were still finding things years after its release that no one had ever seen before.

On top of everything else, the music is phenomenal. Every area has its own track, which are all great. The generic battle theme is catchy af. And every boss in the game has a special theme, too, which are most of the best tracks in the game. Spider Dance, Asgore, Death By Glamour, and of course, the infamous Megalovania are all A+ songs Ive got in playlists on Spotify.

To this point, I actually cant think of anything I would change about the game. There are a few story moments that I personally dont have great feelings for, but I know others that really enjoyed them. And those are few and far between. I had a big dumb smile on my face for 96% of the game. And even after having beaten it once, theres a decent amount of replayability for an RPG. I notice something new every time I experience it, whether it's through playing it again or watching someone else try it. And after its initial release, there were no bugs, no updates, no DLC, no nothing. Toby Fox spent multiple years trying to develop a masterpiece, and he knocked it out of the park first try.

Danganronpa 1 is a fucking mess. No aspect of the game is fun. Every character in the game treats the player like a 7-year old, and the trials themselves do so as well. While Ace Attorney trusts the player with their full inventory of evidence for every testimony in the game, Danganronpa 1 will trust you with 1 piece. Not even joking, just one. If you play on the hardest logic difficulty, it will begin to let you have 3 at a time, just a little more, as a treat. Its absurd how dumb DR1 thinks you are. It will play the exact same goddamn flashback 7 times in a matter of 15 in-game minutes. I KNOW WHO MUKURO IKUSABA IS SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY

And in general, DR1s plot gets in its own way too often. Case 1 is pretty neat, but ruined for English-speaking audiences. Case 2 is very contrived for no reason. Case 3 is abhorrent for every reason. Case 4 is about the only bright spot in the game, and then the ride tumbles off the rails toward the finish. Just a little bit, though. And the ending is necessary to prepare the player for what to expect in future titles. Unfortunately, understanding DR1 is a 100% prerequisite for continuing the series, despite being a 4/10 game on a good day.

Then we have Danganronpa V3. V3 was heading some very exciting places for a while. Then in one of the trials, I spent over an hour just mashing through text, rotating my hand in the air, trying to signal to the game that I get what its doing and Id just like to get on with it please. And it wouldnt let me. I only wanted it to be over, and DRV3 refused, mocking me for daring to enjoy the story it was relaying to me. After that session of playing the game, I was so upset that I turned off my VITA and I refused to even think about the game for a while.

But smack in the middle of the two, we have Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. Somehow, the team was able to make a game that only majorly fucked up the Hangman minigame. Everything else could loosely be described as fun! Thats a plus!


But as is the case with most of the games in my top 20, it isnt primarily here for that. Its here because it weaves the most memorable tale in any video game Ive ever played. And the cases are oh so good. If theres one thing Danganronpa can hold over Ace Attorney as a series, its that it knows how to start off each game with a bang, as every games first case is just stellar. Then Case 2 plays at your heartstrings before the mild dumpster fire Case 3. But thats just the first half, and from there, the game goes at a pace that every Ace Attorney game can only dream of, as Case 4, 5, and 6 are nothing short of exemplary.

Gonna give this its own paragraph because its just that important. Case 5 is my favorite murder mystery in all of fiction. I cant even begin to go into why without spoiling the very basis of it, but fuck it is awesome.

And goddamn does this game's music slap. I have roughly 8 of this game's tracks on my main Spotify playlist. Speaking of its incredible Case 5, listen to this song in particular, and just try to not feel all pumped up to do some murder investigating:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjbgj2V6-o0

With its ridiculous premise, its expertly-crafted murder mysteries, and crazy twists and turns, Danganronpa has become easily my favorite series to watch other people experience for the first time. Even Danganronpa 1, despite being an objectively bad game, is wildly entertaining, and still has this weird kind of charm to it that makes you want to see how others react to being put through the same gamut that you did. Its very hard to explain what I mean if you havent experienced it yourself. I have second-handedly experienced Danganronpa 2 a whopping fourteen times, and I could recall to you every playthrough Ive watched or read right now, because everyone has a fairly unique experience, whether its through getting attached to different characters, or being especially surprised by different plot twists. To me, the game is infinitely replayable in this way. Every few months, Ill get a new urge to check YouTube and see if anyone with any kind of following has decided to start up the series, so I can check it out.


And hey. If you havent yet, and youre up for something kinda weird, give the series a shot! If you do, make sure you hit me up on Discord, because I love love loooooove talking people through their time with it. Just dont do the same with the general internet, because Danganronpa is the single series that people love to spoil the most, and its not even a close race. Do not google Danganronpa, do not look up voice actors for Danganronpa, if you make the decision to start playing Danganronpa, you must basically swear off the internet until you are done because the fans just do not fucking know how to not ruin it for everyone else. I kinda hate that I consider myself part of its fandom sometimes.

Sometimes.

#10 - Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair (VITA, my GotY for 2014)


It suuuuuuuure is! And for those of you keeping track at home, this marks the second VITA game to appear on my list out of four. VITA has somehow managed 3 of my top 10 games, and the one that wasnt was #23. It may not have quantity, but it sure has quality.

Anyway, Danganronpa is such a cool concept. In every single game, a weird, evil bear named Monokuma traps 15 or 16 high school students in a closed environment, and will only allow them to escape if they are able to murder one of their classmates and get away with it in the subsequent class trial. If the murderer gets caught, they will be executed, but if they get away with it, they alone will be allowed to escape, while everyone else is then executed. The player takes the role of one of the students, and has to do their best to try and survive the ordeal to the end, by solving all the murders, complete with a comic book-style ending to each one.


If only the team behind the series had the slightest idea how to make a game fun, Danganronpa could have been a truly ascendent franchise. The groundwork for something outrageously engrossing is set in place, but every time any of the games attempts to actually engage with the player, it fails in just about every way imaginable. If they ever stumble upon a game mechanic that isnt a pain in the ass in one game, just wait until the next game, and theyll ruin it somehow. Even the main mechanic of finding holes in classmates testimonies is tarnished by having to aim your Truth Bullets at the statements in real time, and if you miss, you have to start the testimony from the fucking beginning, wasting several seconds of your valuable time.


List of minigames in the series that are actively fun to play:
Logic Dive

. thats it, thats the list. There are several minigames that I consider inoffensive, but these games came out in the 2010s and we should really hold a higher standard for minigames than well I didnt hate it.

But for real, fuck all that, lets talk about the goooood shit, and Danganronpas concept is just way too fucking strong for it to be held down by simply not being a fun game. Its about so much more than that. By that I mean having all your favorite waifus fall into despair and kill their friends. Thats really what everyone wants to see, and Danganronpa 2 pulls that off better than anything else. Before we get to that, lets talk a bit about the elephants in the room, namely the other two games.

The only good use of Toko/Byakuya in DR1 was the time where he came into the dining room to tell them something, Jack was like "I'D FOLLOW YOU TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH" and he was like "alright well I'm out bye" then started walking out the door and then quickly broke into a sprint. That got me laughing pretty good.
