How the hell do you get these people to play something different 😩

Tbh i was already working on this at the end of last year, but for this year and probably beyond, i basically just wanna add and remove games into my rotation based on what I'm feeling at the moment. If I start up an rpg and the next day I feel like playing another rpg. I'll do that instead of thinking I should finish the 1st rpg before starting the 2nd. If some days after, I get a platformer itch, I'll just start playing it, etc. There's just too many games not enough time haha

That is a lot of western and capcom stuff lol. Nioh 3s my most anticipated and way too low. Cant wait for february

Am now fully in a multiplayer mood so the 2 games I'll mostly be playing are mp games. I think I've finished all of the standard bosses in Elden Ring Nightreign. So gonna be doing some of those repeat fights that seem like they're gonna be harder versions of them and I'll try out that endless night one too. Very fun game

And I finally got Arc Raiders. Still early and I think I'll enjoy this one a lot more further on but rn at the start, it's very confusing. Most of my matches have been just hoarding a bunch of stuff I have no idea if it's useful or not, then dying near the end at the elevator and losing it all plus my guns. That parts not fun lol. But I'm slowly learning my way around the game. Gonna continue on

Seems like a waste of dev time and resources. The game is already chock full of content, but I guess it gives me more incentive for that replay plus finally experiencing blood and wine. Even tho I've been saying that for years now I think 😩

I don't think it looks that much like clair obscur at all. It's just one of the very few of its kind to do graphics above that of your average turn based jrpg so it ends up looking similar to like the only other one out there

But also that expressionless face at 2:53 lol. That didn't seem like a calm stoic face but more like they didn't give the character model an expression during what looked like an all out attack 😂

Enjoyed Wilds and am enjoying Nightreign despite both having disappointing aspects to them. They're still a ton of fun. I might have to go with Nightreign as my best action game cause I get that one more run feeling

And everybody cheered

I tried to get into it with the demo but just don't understand how it works. It's enjoyable enough solo I guess but I get smoked online. Great music tho

With the way this list is going perhaps we could see monster hunter wilds make it in which I wouldn't even mind 👀

@DennisReynolds oh if it has life sim elements I could see how someone would get addicted to the gameplay loop. But yea I was thinking these quests have to be crazy good for you to want to do, what looks like, skyrim type of combat for hrs against mostly humans

I'm curious to try both 1 and 2 someday but I don't understand how one could play hundreds of hours of what looks like skyrim without the monsters dragons and magic. How does that not get repetitive quickly

It should be way higher imo but I actually didn't expect it to be on the list at all lmao. Its been my go to multiplayer game, but sometimes I find myself only playing it all day to the detriment of my backlog 😩. But it's genuinely just a fun kart racing game

Honestly I'm looking forward to playing arc raiders next after I just recently bought and played elden ring night reign. It's been super fun planning out the route we'll go to kill some bosses and get stronger along the way till we reach the 3rd day

Why couldn't the Ye skin be free it's so much better. Also my luck went down the drain with this game, I barely just managed to get Lucia and yidhari after losing the 50 50 on both. I lost for dialyn. My only saving grace is I now have Ye guaranteed 😩

Well ofc the comments went as expected as soon as I read the headline lol. They do this every year

I kept reading online the switch was the answer to Japanese devs problems in Japan. Guess not lol.

Tbh the demo sold me but not necessarily as a day 1 game. My mind could change but it just seemed like a 3rd person shooter with an extra step even if that extra step was actually pretty fun. I feel like the part that sold me the most tho was the dad daughter moments sprinkled in the demo lmao. It could be really heart warming if the story is good

Nioh 3 easily of what's already announced and it's coming very early 2026 so who knows what else the year has in store. After that I picked the lego batman game just cuz an arkham style lego batman could be seriously fun. Then MH Stories 3, code vein 2, and phantom blade

That was awful and no better than the recent state of play lol. I wasn't even expecting anything except for a Sega announcement and apparently that was total war

Good, I've been super unsure of this game so being able to try a demo for it is nice. Also that giant robo monster thing was pretty cool tbh

I just hope it's not metaphor re refantazio, another yakuza game when I can barely get to my 2nd game, or the fighting game cuz i suck at them. But damn they're really gonna make me sit thru it now 😩

Question 20 not being 100% yes-

I actually really enjoyed what little I played of it and can't wait to get back to it and actually commit to it entirely

If I still had extra this would be amazing. I'd immediately get into wo long and granblue

I'm sure the game has a ton of issues as did multiple cods beforehand but why does it feel like the moment it became Microsoft's ip, the whole world just straight up turned against it 😭

Lower than usual cause I got my pc this year. Like I hadn't played marvel rivals for like half a year and yet it's my most played game along with the 4 gachas lol. Next year might be even lower but eh, what can ya do besides hope Playstation finally gets it together

They've damn near leaked and announced beforehand everything that will be at the show and I can't say I'm really excited about much of it

I mean one of their comparisons is DQ3 remake doing worse than 11, when 11 did its 7 million sales lifetime over years while 3 remake did its 2 million within like some months. So it can still grow altho releasing 1&2 so soon could affect both tbh. They also claim rebirth cost less to make than remake and XVIs dev cost is honestly so reasonably small I have no idea how that couldn't be considered a success. It's just such a weird, inconsistent and kinda unbelievable presentation

Continuing on Tales of Graces F, the game has opened up a lot now with plenty of events and side stuff to find in older areas. I love the writing and combat so it's been fun exploring every single thing

And I also restarted Sonic Frontiers. When i 1st played this I wasn't really in the mood to play games, so I think it negatively affected my view on the game and also never finished it. But on this 2nd try, things are going so differently I'm shocked lol. It's such a wonderful game. I adore all the mini platforming segments sprawling around this open free zone to run around in when i used to think they were randomly thrown all around the map with no rhythm. And it helps that sonic actually feels great to control. I remember feeling like it had some jank to it but this time I don't feel it at all. Great music as usual, tons of collectibles, fun open areas to explore. Stages are short but sweet. Combat has also been fun with plenty of options. Easily one of my favorite modern Sonic games

Way too close to nioh 3 which takes no.1 priority

I enjoyed my time with it a lot. I don't think it's a bad game at all but definitely a disappointing one in many ways. I plan to get back into it but on pc on a good sale. Hopefully by that time the expansion is close to releasing so I can just have a ton of content to get thru

Was holding off on ps cause I didn't want to pay for online. And had to hold off on the pc version too because of that ridiculous amount of storage it takes up. I'll finally be able to try it out... on a sale anyway 😂

I hope to god they've applied this thought and knowledge with metaphor because I just barely bought it a few days ago and if they announce a re release I'm gonna-

Anybody complaining about sequels feeling samey or just that they exist in general must not have liked the previous installment in the 1st place. No Sony does not have a sequel problem and they sure as hell aren't the only one making iterative sequels lol

I really did wanna pick this up on ps5 but I also wanna see how it looks on pc. The 1st one was gorgeous on ps5. That was honestly a really short wait this time tho, will for sure be buying now

The console itself is amazing, I have had 0 issues with it like I did with a ps3 and 4. It's super fast and responsive. 3rd party software has been amazing, 1st party has been awful. And any accessories or extra attachments/enhancements/revisions have been dreadful especially in price

I am so ready for the sequel. It has the potential to be absolutely amazing if they pull it off

Still going thru Tales of Graces F, am on chapter 5. It's working its way up so fast into my top 5 Tales of games already. I don't think combat is particularly special, neither better or worse than most other games in the series but it's as fun as ever. Easily one of my favorite cast of characters and the story is so good

I know chart placement isn't really important but still kinda crazy how it's being painted as a disaster and yet it's no.1 lol

An absolute masterpiece of a game and my favorite tales of. But I'm just wondering what's the difference between this and the one already on steam. If I'm gonna replay this, which I want to, it'll be the pc version this time but I guess that's the reason it never went on sale lol

@Slayer25c ok? What of it 😭

Yooo my goat sonic crossworlds got 2 noms! Too bad it's unlikely to win cause those are usually the nintendo pity prizes lol

I can't really say much of the goty noms cause I've only played e33 and I don't really consider it my goty lol. I guess it's weird that kcd2 game is in, it kinda felt like it came and went tbh. As for e33, I hope it wins best score, but it definitely does not deserve best narrative

@TruestoryYep not a fan of how they did open world for Zelda, and much less a fan of how they did both the remake of LA and Zeldas 1st-ish outing and the ugly toy graphics they used for both. So that really only left me the Skyward Sword remaster which was amazing. So I'd definitely say it was less than stellar

This movie is gonna be awful but should be fun to watch and laugh with a group. Plus it's Zelda. One of my favorite ips, despite the less than stellar switch gen it had. I still look forward to it the way I do the sonic movies lol

I don't get what the big deal is about the mobile games. Every video game company, hardware wise or not, has used their ips for a mobile pc game not on console 😭

The horizon one has potential on pc for sure tho

Finished Kirby and the Forgotten Land. There are fun great moments but then there are some stages that tend to be overly long but the gameplay is too repetitive for that. So it tends to drag. It's also kinda too easy, only the true final boss poses any real challenge. But abilities are awesome to use, and it has a neat variety of little things to do which I like

And I also started up Tales of Graces F. Been wanting to play this one forever and it does not disappoint. Absolutely love the characters and the dialogue. Story starts off pretty troupey but there's never a dull moment yet at least. And the style of the game is gorgeous

It's a threat the same way pc in general is. I don't think it's gonna actually do much if it's not priced accordingly and isn't promoted like a regular console is. If they sell it the way they sell steam decks it's guaranteed to not warrant such an article in the 1st place

Only played Clair obscur from that list but idk if I'd say it's my goty. It's really not as special of a game as its made out to be. In a better world, MH Wilds wouldnt have fumbled the way it did and itd be my goty easily. I'd probably give it to sonic racing but that's not really a goty tier game and it's not even on the list so idk lol

I can't believe there are actual humans behind these accounts rn practically defending this dude that's already admitted to doing something wrong and with there being literal photographic evidence

Cloud and aerith were instantly recognizable in that admittedly kinda ugly artstyle that CO doesn't even use I think. But couldn't tell who Nomura drew at 1st. Idk if that speaks to Nomura just not being in his A game with this drawing or how iconic FF character designs are lmao
