2. Mario Odyssey

4. Cuphead
5. A Hat in Time
Elex is close runner up, but that game needed a lot of work to be perfect.

Nagasaki was the center of Japanese Catholicism which is why (((They))) bombed it into smithereens. (((Jesuits))) have worked to subvert the Church because it is the only institution that that genuenly historically opposed the Synagogue of Satan. Modern Japan is now controlled by the USA and the United States is a puppet state of Israel. The anti-christian meme is encouraged by ZOG. They love it when people LARP as Lutherans, Evangelicals and Pagans or any other brand of Heresy because it only enabled them to take more power from the Catholic Church which is not essentially entirely demoralized and subverted. But if you think for a moment that the Church and the ZoG are one and the same then you are clearly still blue pilled on the JQ. Germany under Pagan & Lutheranism used to love the Jews prior to being betrayed during WW1. Catholic nations historically did not tolerate Jewry and was founded on criticism of the Kabbalism & Talmudism of the Pharisees and Sadducees. They even had laws that

He gave Cuphead a 10/10, even though he showed on stream how much he sucked with his partner playing that it makes DSP's playthrough like a master speedrun. I'm not saying he didn't complete Cuphead because it isn't really that hard.

It is a damn good game, for sure. Too bad Nintendo remade Metroid 2 instead of this one.

Dark souls doesn't have upgrade trees or points, and has moves tied to the weapon rather than independent of it. And very few things have stat reqs in nioh, where as everything in DS does.

Not really. In ds most spells are damage, but nioh focuses on debuffs and buffs.

Most armor have stat requirements. Even if you were right, that doesn't make the systems dissimilar enough to be incomparable. You're still leveling up at bonfires using souls to directly increase your stats. You still drop souls on death. You still lose those souls permanently on a repeated death if you don't retrieve
>Not really. In ds most spells are damage, but nioh focuses on debuffs and buffs.
Not only is that wrong, but it doesn't even matter. Still have spells as equips with limited use between bonfires.
>kinda.
No, not kinda. The systems are actually the same. That's what I should have said previously. The item/shortcuts system are almost exactly the same. The only meaningful difference that, instead of a fill capacity estusflask, you have items that actually drop from enemies and is only refilled up to a minimum when you run out and visit a bonfire.
Nioh is very comparable to Dark Souls.

>Item pickups and Amrita are like Souls
Items are not like souls, unless you're referring to the fact it's in a white ball before you pick it up.
>Level design is like souls
No, it's far more linear. Like DS3 maybe, but not the first one. Almost nothing loops back, all alternate routes are either dead ends or shortcuts.
>No jumping is like Souls
But souls does have jumping
>Atmosphere of the maps is lije Souls
Being dark is exclusive to souls? And Nioh is far less lonely and dad felling, it's more actiony and hot blooded.
>Combat mechanics are like Souls downright to the unlockable parry mechanics
Souls doesn't have ki, or projectiles that are worth a damn, or combos beyond mash one button.
>Armor system is really close to Souls
So having equippable armor is exclusive to souls now? that is just so fucking vague, it's like saying skyrim has dark souls armor.
>Combat even if less spammy due to Ki flux is like Souls
What part of it is? You hit people and avoid being hit? The lock on? Plenty of other games have that.
>Miniboss enemies behind fog
They function far differently. In DS the fog is a one way door, in nioh it's the same as having the enemy be stationary and have reduced vision.
>Attacks spells work exactly like Souls
Again, no. In DS you have a million damage spells and can use them exclusively. In nioh you only have 3 projectiles of each type for a long fucking time and even then, they don't do amazing damage to anything not particularly weak to them. It's just an action game, only thing it stole from dark souls is enemies respawning, the blood stains, and the stamina bar kind of.

BotW is alright, but it's got some problems that makes it really difficult playing it more than once.
People wanna moan about items breaking or the rain. But the real problem is that 90% of the game is the overworld. The rest is shrines that all look and feel identical, and the divine beasts which feels like they took those special dungeons in the DS games, that you return to often and just spread them out to different areas. And a personal pet peeve of mine is the lack of ZELDA style music.
At this point I'm having doubts whatever is in the DLC is going to fix that.

I didn't really like BotW, but the music was one of the things I did like. It wasn't overbearing, it was more atmospheric and fit what was going on at the time. Wind Waker's sailing theme is fine in isolation, but hearing it constantly in the game gets annoying, and it's why I don't like that song to this day. And since BotW has an expected playtime of 100 hours, any song that tried to be "epic" for that long would just be obnoxious.

Zelda is really good at having both atmospheric music and the more pronounced kind stuff with a good melody. You'd usually see it split between Overworld/Dungeons. But like with the other things I was pointing out, I feel like BotW tilts one way a bit too far. It's mostly just atmospheric stuff, and outside of just deliberately recreating/arranging older songs like Zora's Domain… it lacks that Zelda charm in the music. (I think that has more to do with picking an Animal Crossing composer to do most of the work though.)
Twilight Princess was probably the last big 3D Zelda that hit that aspect perfectly for me.

I'd nominate Nex Machina as a GOTY because I believe it is a genuine 10/10 from a gameplay and presentation standpoint.
It is an arcade twin-stick shooter and is unbelievably solid, which comes to no surprise given that it was designed by the de facto creator of the twin-stick shooter genre, Eugene Jarvis. It's an arcade game as in it could be plopped right into an arcade hall. You got your shooting weapon, several subweapons for a little more adaptability, a dash which can be upgraded into a triple dash or a dash which explodes anything it comes into contact with, and your wits. It's pacing is Alien Soldier-tier, every thirty seconds you're thrown into a new and different hand-crafted arena, and the game never lets up. The arenas themselves are incredibly varied. They can range from flat open spaces with a certain arrangement of enemy emplacement firing lasers or bullets in static directions while mobile enemies try to chase you around, to minor obstacle courses where you're trying to get from point A to point B in order to keep up your human chain.
The scoring system is what makes the game feel damn good. Every arena has a certain amount of humans scattered around, and you're supposed to grab them all, but that's not all. You also need to maintain your 'human chain', which means that every six-eight or so seconds you need to grab a new human before your chain runs out and your chain can't reach its full potential, depriving you of some score. So what follow are some tricky strategies in order to draw out the human chain as long as possible, because if you grab all humans before you kill all enemies and can move on to the next arena, the chain will end prematurely. On top of that you want to keep one human safe so you can grab him as you're about to teleport to the next arena so you can start off the next arena with a full human chain bar.
So you want to abstain from picking up all humans immediately and space out grabbing them at the risk of messing up your chain. If you press the dash button at the right moment when you're about to teleport out of the arena, you will also receive a minor teleport exit score bonus. This seems like an entirely random thing to award the player for, but consider what I said before about abstaining from picking up humans until the very last second. In those last moments when you killed all the enemies and are about to teleport away, you're most likely going to dash towards the last human. And after each dash (or three dashes if you have Triple Dash), there is a minor cooldown. So on top of getting the last human at the last possible second for a full human chain bar, you also want to be able to dash at the last moment for that teleport exit bonus.
And you also want to grab all the SECRET humans on top of triggering the exit for the SECRET levels and grabbing the score multiplier bonuses before they expire, all as fast as possible for the highest possible time bonus. On top of that there's also Visitors to contend with, which are a straight line of enemies who move in a telegraphed line and need to be all killed before they disappear if you want the best score. Then there's also Disruptors which are slightly tougher enemies of which there are five which can randomly spawn in five of the ten plus levels in a world, adding a degree of randomness to your run and forcing you to adapt on the fly so everything does not play out the same way each time. And at the end of each world, you get more bonuses for not dying, for not taking a hit, for your largest human chain, for finding all humans, for finding all secrets, For something with such seemingly simple gameplay, you will be doing loads of multitasking.
There's around 30 enemy types and all also play on many of the mechanics in some way. There's your basic swarming mooks, but also big guys going for the humans instead and threatening to steal them away from you. Some of the later ones will straight up throw humans at you if you fail to save them in time. Several projectile-based enemies will stand afar and shoot straight bullets, homing bullets, lasers you can through, purple lasers you CAN'T dash through, laser shockwaves, bullet spreads, pretty much anything you can think of. The first two boss fights are easy, but the later can get pretty nasty.
Presentation-wise it's excellent as well. The synthwave soundtrack really nails that 80's action hero feeling and fits the action on screen rather remarkably, and everything looks great as well, especially the level transitions give off a grand sense of scale as you see the world around you during the few moments when you are just flying to the next level. If you look at a gameplay video it might all seem incredibly overwhelming, but when you try it out for yourself, all objects of importance like enemies and enemy projectiles do manage to stand out sufficiently. All the particle effects make it look pretty as hell.
d3ddd5 No.13846052

One consequence of cutting out all the fat in favor of dense non-stop action is that the game can feel rather short. However, this being an arcade game, everything is designed around you finishing the game without using continues, which may take hours of practice before you can pull that off. On top of that there's also Hero Mode which completely changes the enemy layout for all levels and adds suicide bullets to the mix. It seems like a simple generic pretty twin-stick shooter but it has a surprising amount of depth to it once you get down with it.
Unfortunately, this being an arcade-styled game which you can't really finish much like you would finish any other normal game and are expected to replay and git gud to get higher scores, nobody outside a niche of dedicated autists cares about Nex Machina, not even /v/. It's kind of disheartening that most people even here only seem to care about the big-budget AAA releases and indie titles with a lot of hype behind them, if this thread is anything to go by. I'd hoped for all the grandstanding about having better taste in videogames than others that me shilling this game would pay off automatically, but I guess not. If you want to show off what kind of a patrician you are, you could at least give Nex Machina a shot.

I vote for Nier: Automata. Speaking of Nier, Gameinformer posted an interview with Yoko Taro - there's a bit that mentions the *original* concept of the DoD1 final battle (you know the one, the rhythm game of hell). It's… quite something to say the least:
In Drakengard 1, obviously you may know at the end of the game you come down into Shinjuku and then there's a rhythm-game which is the final part of the game. My original proposal for that was something that the team shot down straight away. The idea was you had a giant Ayumi Hamasaki, a Japanese pop idol, come down from the sky and then you had a singing contest with her to decide the fate of the universe. And they said, "No, we can't do that," and that was shot down. A pop idol in America who's the equivalent of Ayumi Hamasaki… so basically, it'd be something like Britney Spears coming down and you being like, “Oh hey, Britney! Let’s fight!” That's the kind of thing that would have been.
Ayumi Hamasaki sang the opening for the first Tales of Xillia, if I remember correctly.
