(+) Yeah! (+)

start dropping suggestions for future topics, put them in spoilers though so we don't get people thinking too early, this is supposed to be kneejerk reactions.

Ocarina of Time

Well, I was at least disappointed by it, though I've never actually played Link to the Past.

---

Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)

Slightly followed by "whatever the latest Sonic or Pokemon game is"

---

Jak II came to mind immediately.

Also Banjo Kazooie Nuts n Bolts is worth mentioning

---

Breath of the Wild, because I saw this topic and immediately thought of my answer to the last one

I might not think it's the best game of all time or anything but it's still a good game!

my actual answer would be Pokemon Sword and Shield, for somehow defying expectations in a series that's been lowering the bar for the last... seven years, fuck

---

Brawl

---

Suikoden 4

---

Witcher 2

I have never played any of the Witcher series I think I just have Witcher on the brain
---

Majora's Mask

---

FFX-2 is like the definition of this
---

Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World

Original was Legendary, this one, not so much.
In fact, it was nothing short of godfucking awful.

---

Golden Sun: Dark Dawn

DMC2
---

Mass Effect 3

---

DMC2
---

Resident Evil 5


---

Brawl

Probably only came to mind first because of the "most overhyped" question yesterday, though.
---

Banjo Tooie

---

Lufia 1

which, yeah, not technically a sequel, but I played 2 first and it's a prequel

---

Nominate video game character you'd most want to have as a pet.

---

majora's mask

---

Jak II

Though Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is probably my real answer with more thought. Jak II is certainly a much worse game, but it didn't disappoint me as much as N&B did.

---

Golden Sun: Dark Dawn

---

Mass Effect 3

---

Metal Gear Solid V

---

Devil May Cry 2

---

Paper Mario Sticker Star

---

Skyward sword

---

Fallout 4 fits this for me

---

Last of Us 2, only 'cause of the recent controversy. Haven't even played it myself.

Actual answer for me would probably be Sticker Star and every game after it

---

Dark Souls 2

---

Final Fantasy XV
---

Mega Man 8

---

For some bizarre reason, MGS3

---

Paper Mario Sticker Star

might've come to mind first because of Origami King stuff lately

---

Final Fantasy 9.

Though the actual answer would be Sonic Forces.
---

FFX-2 of course

---

Devil May Cry 2

---

Pokemon Black

I have gone back to it since and enjoyed it more, but it's still kinda the end of Pokemon for me

---

Brain is clearly still not working yet because it came up with:

Ms. Pac-Man

-_-

---

I know what the "expected" answer would be, but I tried to avoid it and go with my actual personal answer:

Pokemon Black/White 2

---

New tag

---

Paper Mario Sticker Star
---

ZenOfThunder posted...

New tag

I do not deny that my brain came with a senselessly misogynistic answer here. First Subdeity, now me... what is in the B8HO?!?

---

FfX-2

---

Brawl again

---

Super Mario Bros. 2

Also, you have No Man's Sky listed as both the winner and runner-up of yesterday. Is one of them supposed to be Daikatana?

---

Paper Mario Sticker Star

I saw that and assumed it was just that overhyped
---

Brain said Metal Gear Solid 2

I disagree
