I imagine most people skim heavily over the write-ups, so maybe I could make them a little more succinct. I'd also like to go even faster. LinkMarioSamus posted... One of only three games in the entire bracket I've beaten, the others being Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Portal 2. All from 2010 or 11, interestingly. That implies that you're either a really retro gamer or that you stopped playing games very much around 2012. BetrayedTangy posted... Yeah that pretty much sums up my thoughts on Bayo as well. It was a fun time, but I'd be hard pressed to say it left an impact on me. I imagine it's that way for a lot of people, unless they get really into the gameplay. Still, it's good enough for me. I think it's really hard to make a real impact on someone with a tone like Bayonetta's. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann managed that for me to a certain extent, but I think it helped that I was a 16 when I first saw it. --- VVVVVV Release Date: January 11, 2010 I Will Be Playing On: Nintendo 3DS Previous Experience With VVVVVV: None My Expectations for VVVVVV: High difficulty + backtracking = frustration If the contest had been "Best-Named Game of the Decade," VVVVVV would deserve last place in the X-Stats. You can tell it's an indie game, because that titling choice would never be approved by anyone trained in marketing. At least it's fun to come up with mocking variations, like "VVVVVV's Company." The best one I've thought of so far is "VVVVVV for Vendetta Vendetta Vendetta Vendetta Vendetta Vendetta." Indie platformers are my favorite "Buy, but don't play" genre. Meat Boy, Shovel Knight, and Celeste are among the games I won't have to buy to complete this project, and I've never touched any of them. I only played about 2 hours of Hollow Knight. I have high expectations for all of them, don't get me wrong, I just never sat down and actually started them. VVVVVV I did have to buy for this project. I'd say I'm looking forward to it but with a certain degree of trepidation. The game is apparently really hard and has a lot of back-tracking, which I think could become a potent rage-quit inducing combination. When I initially sorted all the games by release date, using Wikipedia, I also took the time to glance at which platforms the games are available on, and I realized this project would help me finally get some extensive use out of my PS4. My goal, however, is to play as many games as possible on the 3DS, if only so I can take them with me on the bus. With its 8-bit graphics and fast-paced gameplay, VVVVVV seemed like an ideal place to start. --- I'm playing every game from GotD 2020!
