@neocweeny said in The EZA Community Top 20 Best Nintendo GameCube Games: @sheria I'm curious to hear your opinion about The Twin Snakes, since you voted for it and have strong opinions about how remakes should be. I personally hink Twin Snakes is one of those remakes that has a lot of ups and downs. I definitely prefer the PS1 original and also agree it has its up's and downs. I was thinking hard about that last choice for my list and at the end of the day I just felt I couldn't ignore the fact that the Gamecube still houses this epic, full-on Metal Gear Solid game as an exclusive. It's kind of a big deal and highlight of the system. As a remake though? Undeniable this is definitely built from the ground up, everyone back in to do all the voice acting again (for better or for worse) etc, but it thankfully didn't do anything drastic that may have alienated a fan of the franchise, it basically just bought it in line with MGS2.

with these retro GOTYs I usually have a couple games that I never played before that has been on my to-play list for a while, so I just use this as an excuse to play them. also I tend to actively search for smaller games to vote for in these GOTYs, so it's like hitting 2 birds with 1 stone.

I feel like a lot of fighting games can apply here. I got through the Tekken 7 campaign just fine but I still haven't beat the final (bonus?) fight in the campaign, man's reading me like a book everytime.

@bam541 I'm glad Goofy is in the thumbnail because this looks goofy.

@dipset yeah they're the perfect studio for it imo. They always try to push themselves with each new game instead of just resting on their laurels and making the same kind of stuff, especially in the story department. An Indiana Jones game with fresh, great story is the kind of stuff we need!

FUCK YEAH!!! LOOK AT THEM GARDENS!!!

Music - I'm really into early 90's hardcore rave. I made a huge playlist of it. Films - Werner Herzog's movies Fitzcarraldo (1982) and Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972) are great examples of pushing the limits of filmmaking. Games - Project Gotham Racing 4 (Xbox 360) was barely promoted by Microsoft when it came out, but it's an excellent 'simcade' racer. Great graphics and very tight controls. And Planet Coaster (PC) is probably the best theme park builder ever. YouTube videos - Some great documentary channels I'm subscribed to are Bright Sun Films, Brick Immortar, Technology Connections, Kathy Loves Physics & History, Cathode Ray Dude, and toldinstone. Suchlike - Big fan of Uncle Scrooge & Donald Duck comics by writer/artists such as Carl Barks, Don Rosa, William Van Horn, and Romano Scarpa. Don Rosa's are the most intricate, and the easiest way to obtain them right now is via the hardcover Don Rosa Library (volumes 4 & 5 featuring the outstanding 12-part Life & Times of Scrooge McDuck saga is without a doubt the place to start). https://www.fantagraphics.com/collections/the-complete-don-rosa-library
