Topic	Exdeath Plays Every Game in the GotD 2020 Contest Part 2 (ft FO:NV, Ghost Trick)
Evillordexdeath 01/04/21 11:49:33 AM #103:	Oh yeah, I made two mistakes with 2014: I had both Bravely Default and Danganronpa 2 under their original Japanese release dates and I also didn't include Hearthstone or Destiny. When I initially decided to start this project I made a list of 118 games with the 10 that were excluded being games I just really didn't want to play, and those were two of them. I had forgotten to add them back to the list. I actually did make the same mistake with 2016 by omitting Overwatch. Minecraft's release date is kind of weird because it was in some kind of publicly playable alpha state for a long time. It's funny how for the purposes of the contest it was listed as being released after Terraria, a game that pretty much rips it off. I agree, that was essentially the point I was trying to make about Skyward Sword. Even if it did review pretty well and still has a lot of defenders, it seems like it's generally regarded as a disappointment for a console Zelda. I know people really like Link Between Worlds, and it might have been too much to ask for Skyward Sword to measure up to games as important as LttP or OoT, but I also think Wind Waker and Twilight Princess would easily get into a contest over LBW. FFXIV is definitely a big deal overall, but in the specific context of GameFAQs contests, which seem to be very hostile to MMO games, I think it shows how poorly-received FFXIII was that it failed to make it in while XIV succeeded. I agree that there's this trend of "fallen giants" that emerged over the last decade. It's hard to say about Uncharted or Pokemon. I feel like Uncharted games outside of 2 aren't necessarily seen as "important" games, particularly on this site, and people here don't seem to care very much about Pokemon games outside of the first few generations, so it's not too surprising that the only representative of that series is a remake of Gold/Silver. I personally don't think any Pokemon games deserved to make the contest, but that's definitely my own bias speaking. --- I'm playing every game from GotD 2020!
