I'm 27

Oh I thought I was youngest (also before now) but I guess Kirby had it.

Just tag the usuals, it often works, especially after a break.

I don't think right now but we have our tiems where we can if you sell it well.

Up

Yeah 1990 is late, SNES released that year, Genesis already out. It's about when better hardware was out.

I can briefly discuss balance if you'd like

When we return it's time to pull out one of the Suprak games

I think come February I will be able to play here again.

Not that I don't have time right now I just don't have the consistent time mafia requires.

My Bloodborne and Xenoblade guesses were from knowing KP but that's it. Automata seemed pretty obvious that it had to be somewhere in there from having Nier that high, I just had to realize it fit for #2.

My Soulsborne history is being pretty late to the party with Dark Souls but still really liking it, playing a little bit of Demon Souls on PS5 but without really getting into it and then getting Elden Ring on release and absolutely loving that.

Yay, that was fun! I again wish I had seen the this sooner, but goof topic! I have actually only 4 games in the top 10 two of which are Dark Souls and Elden Ring. The top two are among the games I want to play the most but haven't though!

I originally had Automata at 6th and couldn't figure out 2nd, also thinking it could be classified as a JRPG. Once learning it could not be classified as a JRPG, I switched because FFXVI felt like a much better shot for 6th than anything else I could find for 2nd (my best bet was Tomb Raider, which fit the description but also really banked on the long shot thar KP had some hard nostalgia for it).

Yeah the Undertale and DMC3 ones were the two I had the second I read the clue.

Proudly want to claim that I an the Outer Wilds guesser and haven't actually played it lol, what a shot.

I do want to play it though.

I have missed the topic so far but I feel good about some of those so I'll try to make a guess

Mass Effect 2 was weird, it didn't look great until it won the division. I'm thinking some bracket votes and GotD title stuff involved in keeping that up there.

I could see Witcher being a little weaker due to what has been brought up, but I don't think it would be too much.

Do you all think Witcher 3 holds up it's power from last time? I think I would pick BG3 above it.

I'd take Dark Souls over Skyrim now without thinking twice. Skyrim showed signs of decline already and probably partly held on in a contest where its influence could be appreciated. That was already soon 4 years ago (wow).

Dont misunderstand when I mention Metacritic. Its more as an indication of the general reception. Nobody is arguing for FFVIIR as an all-time classic like those other games of similar genre.

Fair, but well, general reception and gamefaqs reception are just pretty different.

Game of the Decade 2 is a pretty strong argument against trusting any modern Final Fantasy to be worth much.

It's a pretty moot point.

Yeah Persona 5 should be up there as well, I never said I would pick FFVIIR above that, it wasn't brought up.

The metacritic argument is kinda trash though. There is precisely reason to assume things are different in polls like the ones we're currently having and contests. Metacritic matters little in the latter.

Maybe right now, but BG3 is only to get more fans over time. That game isn't going away anytime soon.

I don't feel good about judging how a game evolves over time, but probably doesn't come a day where picking a game like that over extremely well received Zelda game in a regular contest will ever feel right.

Once again speaking like regular contest is a thing that exists of course.

I had forgotten about Dread, that should be up there too and really just give the same kind of scare.

FFVIIR has everything that makes you not blow out competition in a GotY poll. The FF name, VII in particular, being a remake and being not a ground breaking game. I said when I brought it up I would pick against it in all those matches, but I don't doubt for a second FFVIIR looks a good bit better in a regular contest setting. Ultimate vs God of War is similar in this sense though the bar is higher. (though what even is regular these days)

Now if Ultimate or Odyssey beats any of the none-BotW games there, that's more interesting.

TotK could also be facing the same issue as I just mentioned. These polls have a higher tendency of judging by greatest game for the industry or most game changing, stuff like that. TotK isn't all that, it's a sequel to something that was but that's not the same. Probably beats BG3 easily in a standard contest setting, gets a scare in Game of the Decade.

You would need Ultimate in that discussion too then. I would be scared to pick some of those above FFVIIR in a standard contest setting though I would pick them all against it. Some of those games have clearly benefit from titles as Game of the Year and Game of the Decade. Ultimate clearly didn't but still had no trouble getting past what it needed to. I would expect FFVIIR to follow a similar pattern of lacking blowout power but getting the job done.

BotW is first for sure, rest gets harder.

It feels like a somewhat ransom selection. Not entirely of course, but to some degree. We could figure out when metacritic was being used, but not sure about this one.

FFXVI not being there is ridiculous

That was clear from yesterday too.

and it just won big at the Game Awards.

So did Last of Us 2, that part doesn't matter.

I do think it will do well though

Great Kuma wrecked me. It dodges everything.

I'll give you that the one time you dropped the recruiter speculation on the day Wallz got lynched (which wasn't that horrible an idea flavor wise, Death had considered it for Wallz' role in a larger setup), you named the three remaining scum exactly.

Also, I was gonna post current rankings in the new topic as well but I don't think Wallz has ranked the last games he has played lol.

My biggest problem has actually been the timer, I feel like it forces you to be agressive instead of playing it safe.

Once again; by far the best strategy seems to be cheesing them out of the ring and jumping in last second.

To be honest this is shaping up to be the most frustrating experience yet lol.

But I don't know if that counts for the final boss or it just means you don't have to become champion again

As I see it, you can draw but not lose

That has worked a bit after having some matches run out of time.

A risky effective strategy is trying to keep the opponent out of the ring and then get in last second.

I found some motivation somewhere and defended against 3 opponents. 7 to go.

Wasn't that the original one that the US copied?

I think it was originally from Swedish, then we did it a year later but under the same name.

Yeah that's fair lol. Metroid is alright. Super Metroid is a lot better I think. That's actually the only two 2D Metroid I've played with this project being a good chance to get Samus Returns and Fusion done.

If you have like a group of games you consider playing, you're more than welcome to drop it here. Pro Wrestling motivation is close to 0 with the above 0 coming from the thought of being over with it.

Not sure if anyone here cares lol but one of my friends back from high school participated in the Danish version of Survivor this year (Robinson Ekspeditionen as it's called). The final was today and she won the darn thing! Despite having been the sole survivor from her premerge tribe and thus biggest target for a good while. Started winning when it matters.

So you did, hah. I had no trouble getting to be champ but it sounds like difficulty increases immensely from there.

Yeah I get that. That how you feel about Metroid too?

I looked up how to compete Pro Wrestling some days ago and it has killed my motivation lol.

I have sat on my phone doing nothing a few times with my Switch next to me.

I also have yet to finish it.

BotW took me a few years to finish and I absolutely loved it. I think it just works best for me to pick up occasionally for games like this.

I have realized how lucky I was in TCG as my previous roomie I got to play it has spent over 3 times the hours I did on full game completion without getting all cards.

I tried out Pro Wrestling. I feared the worst and it actually works so that's a positive surprise. Not that fun but seemingly not long either. I haven't had struggles at all a few matches in.

That was when we started having 12 hour matches too. Even more life in contest topic.

But characters 10 must then be early 10.

I guess we could do some more gameboy, since Wallz finds it easier to play handheld and insists on playing home console games docked lol. Mabe start next topic with Tetris as that's probably something where some others want to challenge for the high score.

It's a bit sad but I really enjoy looking at old matches daily as a closest thing we have to contests.

It's like Characters 10 running currently? Maybe it was GotD. Whatever ended with Link defeating Santa Claus lol.
