| Topic | The Board 8 Discord Sports Chat Rank Their Top 100 Respective Video Games part 3 |
| Arti 02/09/21 8:20:29 PM #53: | #25 - SSX (PS3, 2012) Not the same game that Nick ranked, this is the reboot on the PS3! This game still is present in my backloggery banner and is still my rarest platinum on PSN to date (and it is a challenging one, despite that its numbers are slightly boosted because of PS+). The game features a number of areas from around the world as places to snowboard down the slopes. For this game though, these areas are not created from scratch - the developers used actual satellite data to build the peaks, allowing them to get accurate places to go through such as Mount Everest and some areas in Antarctica, for instance. Like all SSX games there's race and trick challenges on basically every peak, but now there's also survival tracks where you use tools such as body armor and wingsuits to keep yourself from wiping out. The story pits team SSX made up of a number of previous SSX characters and some new ones up against Griff SImmons (from SSX 3) to see who can conquer the world's nine deadly descents first. SSX has always been my favorite sports series and this one certainly did not disappoint. My only complaint would be the soundtrack which isn't as good as previous games in the series, but you can use a custom playlist like I did, so it's mainly a non-issue. Pretty annoyed we haven't gotten any new games in the series yet, but who really knows where they can go from here? #24 - Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice (3DS, 2016) This game has been appearing a lot on people's lists so far, and with good reason! It's one of the best games in the series. Despite Phoenix's name being in the title and his eventual reuniting with Maya, this game is more about Apollo than any of the other lawyers, and it finally brings him to the spotlight where his own game didn't even do that for him. 6-5 really brings him to the forefront of this. The Divination Seances are a nice new addition to the evidence presented in a trial and give a new challenge for people familiar with the rest of the series. The one flaw this game has is the prosecutor - most Ace Attorney games have a very good prosecutor that the characters have to face and Nahyuta is just not the man for the job here. I can't talk about this game and also not mention the fucking name puns, my god. (Case 1 spoilers) #23 - Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations (DS, 2007) It could be the recent replay I did making this the choice over Spirit of Justice being the best Ace Attorney game, but who knows! Just like Spirit of Justice, Trials and Tribulations also concludes a trilogy - this one being the trilogy of Phoenix Wright himself, bringing a number of fan favorite characters back together and tying it together with previous games in the series, especially case 2-2. Godot is one of the best prosecutors in the series, and I even used his avatar as my PSN avatar for a while - he has a good presence in the courtroom, the best music theme in the series (yes, better than the Steel Samurai), and has a great character arc throughout the game. The cases are all well designed, and none of the cases here are a weak point at all, when many of the other games have at least one or two cases that just aren't the same quality as the rest of the game. I think that's the main reason I have this as my favorite; while 3-1 and 3-4 are short they fit well with 3-5 as a final case, plus 3-2 and 3-3 are strong cases that stand on their own and help develop Godot as a character just as well as the other cases do. --- http://backloggery.com/articuno2001/sig.gif azuarc may not know the strength of songs in VGMC, but he conquered the guru in Game of the Decade 2!
