Strife2 12/28/17 10:23:45 PM #16:	6.Nier Automata PS4 Great The original Nier was fantastic. Drakengaard 3 was a mindless fuck ton of bloody fuck ball destruction. This was a dip back into the formers bleak, dystopia with the latters emphasis on fighting. I am seeing this on a lot of game of year lists, and it is well deserved. If SE keeps publishing more gems like this, Ill forgive them for not being good at developing their own shit. Please kill them....please kill them...need more good games like Nier...please kill them. 7.DanganRonpa V3 PS Vita Good, but flawed Basically a better version of V1, V3 does a lot to sell itself. The game usually boils down to, Is the person you like most still alive, or are the people you hate dead first? God knows this game toyed with me on that more than once. DEGENERATE DEVELOPERS! The franchise, despite being great at mixing the Ace Attorney and Zero Escape scenarios with dark comedy, cannot get out of its own way. The investigations take forever, the minigames all suck (including that fucking taxi one you cant skip). One of the characters was Nagito, if 50x worse, and NEVER SHUT THE FUCK UP, and the ending case is either the best thing or worst thing ever. I was on the latter, because I gave up on the series making any sense. It also helped it involved one of my preferred characters getting a moment to shine SO much, I couldnt hate the stupid shit that was going on. I was in pure love with how much the franchise just said, Fuck you, and reveled in it. I guess you could say, I GOT A ROCK HARD RAGER! 8..hack//G.U. Last Recode PS4 Good, but flawed I was so happy to hear this existed. G.U. stands as a great game in terms of world building, aesthetic, characters, and plot. However, it is brought down so badly by repetitive dungeons and combat. While those are still present, I never felt the remake dragged on nearly as badly. They sped up the experience system to a great degree. The extra volume, while fun, is where things kinda suck. All the original voice actors were brought back (amazing when you think about it being 10 years), and they made the Haseo/Ovan/Shino thing more pronouncedwhile killing Atolis importance (HOORAY)! The one problem with the 2-3 hour Vol. 4 campaign was the new character. Like DR, this game had a VERY bad tendency to keep harping on a characters trait to death. Just shut up. I get it. Anyway, it also boasts a weird art style in the cutscenes. It had a kind of slow down to it that threw me off. Still beautiful, but weird. 9.Demon Gaze II PS Vita Good, but Flawed The developers kinda suck at making other dungeon crawlers after the first one. Im glad they brought this back. Better story, better characters, and they integrated a Social Link type system well. Scenes that seem innocuous actually provided some unique moments that were great. Sure, not every character got those, and a lot of downtime boiled down to silly comedy, but the game manages to not suck. It probably had to do with the battle system. While not as hard as the original, it does NOT screw around. Enemies and traps are very deadly, and walking into a zone labeled orange or red can be instant death. Building the characters right means everything. It helps that the cast of characters is large enough that youll find a favorite bunch, even if 3-4 are just retreads of better character classes. 10.Atelier Firis PS4 Good, but flawed These games come out every year. That means not a lot changes, but when the franchise is more about screwing around with whimsy and creation rather than building an epic narrative, you can forgive them a little. I have liked this series since Mana Khemia. I wont say it is up with MK1 or Meruru or Shallie (personal favorites), but there just never seems a year where I dont play them. --- "Evening caress, Always yearning, I must confess, The stars aren't burning" Copernicus - Candlemass <cite>Strife2 posted [p:893040682] in Ok it's ti...
