TOP 15 FAVORITE GAMES OF THE DECADE

#2. Red Dead Redemption

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PD24MkbHQrc

Easily my favorite Rockstar Game; I think this is the one that truly hooked me on the open world genre. John Marston one of my favorite protagonists in a video game (he was also my part of RDR2 when you played as him again in the epilogue that connected the two games), but really the entire cast was wonderful. The Wild West was a setting with so much untapped potential and no one really got into as deep as Red Dead Redemption did. The main campaign itself was great enough (I ended up rewatching all the story cutscenes on youtube the minute I finished RDR2), but just going around the wild west being an outlaw and doing what you wanted was truly engrossing. Then it ended with one of the most shocking endings in video game history!

The game even managed to get me hooked on its multiplayer where you formed a gang and roamed the map participating in shootouts at forts and playing card games and the like. Since I had to move to Texas a few years after playing it, the culture that game presented I can see living down here and only serves to remind me of it time and time again and how much I enjoyed playing through it.

Also first a shoutout to Tekken 7 which is not on this list, but is the game I have to hear about every day of life due to friends who play it competitively. It might be the best fighting game of this decade even if I'm more of a Mortal Kombat man myself.

TOP 15 FAVORITE GAMES OF THE DECADE

#1. Xenoblade Chronicles

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgPcl1WJ98Y

I'M REALLY FEELING IT! NOW IT'S REYN TIME! SHULK TAKE IT EASY! THIS IS THE MONADO'S POWER!

Bros it's the GotY 2010, GotY 2011 and GotY 2012. I had been following this game way back when it was called Monado: Beginning of the World. I eventually caved when it seemed like we weren't going to get it and modded my Wii to play the PAL version. Then Operation Rainfall happened and we got it again and I had to play it all over again! This is easily the best RPG I've played since the heyday of the SNES when we had games like Final Fantasy VI, Earthbound and Chrono Trigger. I would put this game right up there with them.

Sure it's not the prettiest thing to look at, but the characters/story/music/gameplay all hit in the right places for me. Shulk's quest for revenge leads him across the corpses of 2 giant titan gods one natural and one mechanical in a war between the Homs and the Machina. The music is up there as some of my favorite songs ever not just in a video game, but just in general and the gameplay is essentially Final Fantasy XII on steroids. They take the single player MMO combat and blow it out to give the player more control of what's going on and it has the whole break/topple/launch/smash system to try to get you to perform combos in that order to maximize damage.

Xenoblade X and Xenoblade 2 were also both very good, but didn't quite live up to the precedent the first game set (although I love that Xenoblade 2 earned its number by actually going back to first game and showing how they're connected and the true nature of that universe).

In the end the Zohar is the true winner here let us all pray to our Monolithic god.

8 and 7 are my favorites. Celceta isn't that great, but it's fine.

Before the switchover to the new gameplay style, Ys IV: Dawn of Ys was my favorite (which Celceta is sort of a remake of)
*cough* YS ORIGIN

TOP 5 MOST ANTICIPATED GAMES OF 2020 AND BEYOND - Presented by Final Fantasy VII Remake

Sorry FF7R I'm not counting for this list because the one coming out in 3 months is literally the first part in who knows how many. It might take them the entire new decade to finish that one up!

#5. Resident Evil 3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNjGFUaorYc

I'm choosing to believe Capcom is going to take what worked so well in the RE2 Remake (Points up to my GotY 2019) and use that to turn RE3 into a game we can be proud of. Nemesis is already way better than Mr. X, but hopefully the game surrounding him is just as great.

It's definitely the best of the 2nd generation of Ys games. They really perfected that formula.

TOP 5 MOST ANTICIPATED GAMES OF 2020 AND BEYOND - Presented by Final Fantasy VII Remake

#4. Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_G-G71KEhuU

Hey I only have to wait 2 more weeks for this one! Going back to when I first discovered emulation and played through Legend of the Super Saiyan on the Super Famicom all I've ever wanted was a Dragon Ball Z RPG that covers all 3 major sagas and they were never able to do it. We had the Legacy of Goku games on GBA (2nd one was pretty good!) but they all only covered one saga each. More recently we had Attack of the Saiyans on the DS developed by Monolith (of Xenoblade fame!) and that game I thought was awesome....but it covered literally only the the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai and the Saiyan saga. I hoped they would do more, but it never happened.

Fast forward to the beginning of 2019 they announce Project Z a DBZ Action RPG. At E3 it became Dragon Ball Z Kakarot and this is basically what I've always been asking for. Personally I think it looks very fun, the combat seems similar to the BT games but presented as JRPG with characters leveling up and seemingly accurate enough power levels . The boss battles themselves have an almost puzzle element to them where you have to figure out the weak points and dodge their beam patterns to find the opening. It's not quite open world, but it's closer to something like a Dragon Quest XI where you just have big open maps to explore.

Personally I'm excited and I feel the bar has been raised for DBZ games ever since FighterZ and if it turns out bad then oh well, but I'm playing it nonetheless.

#3. The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV: End of Saga

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuiNOLlWICw

I swear I've watched this game's OP almost every day for the past year. The thrilling conclusion to the Erebonia Arc this is the End Game to Cold Steel III's Infinity War. I already know LITERALLY EVERYONE IS HERE and the long saga of building up building up Gilliath Osbourne finally comes to a head (or at least I assume it does).

Since the next Trails game, Hajimari no Kiseki, seems to be filling in the same role as TitS the 3rd where it's tying up loose ends of characters who didn't have a ton of screen time while simultaneously setting up the next arc in the series I'm pretty sure Cold Steel IV is where it ends for the current plot line. Like i'm not sure because I try to avoid any hard details about the game, but it's literally in the title! END OF SAGA.

Hopefully it comes out in 2020, but if not hopefully they at least give us the PS4 ports of the Crossbell games or Ys IX instead.

#2. Yakuza: Like a Dragon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7ABgVXnrbs

I don't care what they call it, I'm still calling this Yakuza 7 just like I refer to Judgment as Judge Eyes. This game is out in 2 weeks in Japan, but we still only have a vague "2020" for the english release.

Bros you know I love that Dragon Quest. Bros the new protagonist, Ichiban Kasuga (who's name is already growing on me), is also a life long Dragon Quest fan. So much so in fact that when he fights he imagines it as a turn based RPG and thus that's what this entire game is.

As soon as I'm done with this list I'm actually going to try out the japanese demo, but I'm already assuming I'm going to love it. It's like they knew I loved Yakuza already and the developers asked themselves "what can we do to make SHINE love it even more?"

#1. Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLEkwIvfOO4

Bros they're literally taking my Game of the Decade and giving it the makeover it deserves along with I'm assuming some QoL improvements.

This is the only footage of the game so far so there's not really much to say, but just watching it gives me a shiver down my spine I seriously cannot wait. I am HOTLY anticipating the next Nintendo Direct because I need more info on this game as soon as they can give it to me.

X is a lot of fun although I remember it being a more complicated game with all the mech customization. One of the best worlds to explore though.

No real link to the first game it's pretty much standalone
