Board 8 > Guess my top 50 games, with twists, and a prize

(+) Yeah! (+)

You just have to guess the game, I'll put it in the right slot and give a (very) brief writeup.

For every game you correctly guess, you'll be entered once in the randomizer. Once all 50 are listed, I'll draw one lucky winner. I'll buy them a game from this list on steam or psn or whatever, their choice. (but like, don't choose a $50 game, k?)

There are some ~twists~ on the list and you'll probably need some ~hints~ for more obscure games, so those will come once we get a few on the board.

Only one game from a series is eligible! Sorry, Final Fantasy X! I swear I still love you!

and last rule, one guess per post. If you guess more than one, I'll ignore the rest!!

#9 - Trails in the Sky SC
It's currently in the lead in my heart as far as Trails games goes. Everyone on b8 knows why by this point, right? Other than the stuff that normally gets mentioned, I'll just say it's so very nice to see queer representation (not played as jokes) and Estelle is a fantastic protagonist.

#8 - Factorio
This is a little complicated because a lot of my feelings of this game are tied up with a relationship that ended really bad, but still, this has to be my number one chill out game of all time. Over winter break, when I had to deskwarm for 8 hours/day with nothing to do, I started up a new map and just played the heck out of it.

#7 - Life is Strange
the best part is the Spirits Within callout am I right
I think this game made me cry more than any other game. Making me choose between being a good person, and just wanting a gay couple to have a happy ending FOR ONCE... god, I just sat there and sobbed.

#3 - Final Fantasy 7
P good game, can and have replayed it countless times

#2 - Earthbound
All my top 3 games tend to shift around each other, but this has been "favorite game" quality since the mid 1990s, so that's pretty impressive.

You guys are doing super well at the top parts of the list, holy crap!

...do I know you?

Oh, did you check the gaming challenge topic? Nice idea ;P

that was on the rough draft list but it got cut before I made the topic. So it's top 55, haha. I do recommend it, even if the music isn't great and it has a few puzzles that are a little too obtuse. The wordplay in the 3rd act is very good and the ending (especially when you read the creator's afterword) is a gut punch

Final Fantasy 8
---

I was going to guess three of the other games, too!

Undertale
---

Metroid Prime
---

suikoden 2

#15 - Suikoden II
I've cooled a lot on Suikoden since starting Trails, and this game will probably continue to fall. It's a shame they never made any more in the series past the first two!
---

i will go to my grave defending suikoden 3, 5, and even that ds game

I have no shame
---

#1 - Undertale
It's fitting you spend the battle segments of this game as a heart because I really feel like it has more heart in it than any other game. Not just from the creator, but from the community around it as well. Undertale has forever changed the way I think about games. It's had a profound impact on me, and I love it forever.

Gone Home

I have no shame

suikoden 5 would definitely make my list of games that could be good if anybody had actually played them before release and said "Hey uh, you guys should make this more fun to play"

i'm sooooo over "just wait til the game gets good after the first 30 hours" type games
---

Final Fantasy IX
---

Stardew Valley
---

I will say there's no Metroid on the list, sorry. Prime gave me motion sickness and Super/ZM have just fallen out of my life

I don't really know Gone Home, would I like that?

my friend over the last three months I went from Persona 5 to Xenoblade 2 to Witcher 3

I'm in it for the long haul
---

Shining Force 2
---

I really considered adding Stardew Valley, since I did enjoy myself while I was playing it... but all of the appeal it has for me is just better covered by other games. I think I might enjoy it more if it was a mobile game and cut out the walking around stuff. Let me swipe between areas and click what I'm doing, yeah? Could even keep the stamina and stuff in place and everything else.

...shit that actually sounds like a really fun game

I think so. It's a short narrative adventure game. Best to go in blind.

It's one of my favourite games.
---

if I ever tried shining force, I must not have liked it

okay here's hints for a few random ones

- This game has already appeared on transience's list
- This game is on the PSP
- This game is an arcade game
- This is the game I've spent the most time playing
- This is the only game I've ever bought ALL the DLC for

I've never played a witcher game, though you might find witches elsewhere on the list
I've never played animal crossing, though there's another game with an animal lead

Thanks NFUN

Mortal Kombat 2
---

Umineko
---

#6 - Dance Dance Revolution
TWIST - Sometimes I'll just include the entire series in the case of series where I don't really care which one I'm playing. Just whatever's newest, or available locally, or whatever. But yeah DDR was my life for about 5 years and I still play it literally every chance I get.

Banjo Kazooie
---

Pokemon Gold

haha yeah I was like 'there are so many of these, which do I pick'

also sniped by Raka

let's see...Night in the Woods?
---

Terraria?
---

Not a mortal kombat (or fighting games in general) person

#11 - Umineko
Heck yeah, a game I can just sing the praises of forever even knowing its faults. Best soundtrack of any game. I recently spent about two months playing homebrew Umineko style puzzles (both as a witch and as a detective) and it was a TON of fun, even all these years later. Shame b8 wasn't active enough for it to really work here, but oh well!
