Maybe a controversial pick, but I honestly feel like it's not the best MGS game. By far.

This is seriously a hard list though.... so many good games, some of which I absolutely can't see myself killing off.

Revolver Ocelot (Metal Gear Solid series)
Sephiroth (Final Fantasy series)
Vivi Orunitia (Final Fantasy IX, Kingdom Hearts II)
Auron (Final Fantasy X, Kingdom Hearts II)
Miles Edgeworth (Ace Attorney series)
Ryo Hazuki (Shenmue series)
Kazuma Kiryu (Yakuza series)
Morrigan (Dragon Age Series)
Sarah Kerrigan (Starcraft series)
Phoenix Wright (Ace Attorney series)

She's a meanie and I never liked her attitude. Interesting character for sure, but not enough to survive the onslaught!

Battlefield
Burnout
Civilization
Command & Conquer
Crash Bandicoot
Donkey Kong
Dragon Quest
Far Cry
Fallout
Kingdom Hearts
Mega Man
Monster Hunter
Persona
Pokemon
Ratchet & Clank
Resident Evil
Silent Hill
SoulCalibur
Star Wars
Street Fighter
Tekken
Tomb Raider

Let's be honest with ourselves. When a movie and and a remake fails to bring the buzz, the series is snoozing for sure.

I enjoyed the video and I agree - it really is an area the both cements the core ideas and concepts of Dark Souls while also providing clever insight into the game's workings; an advanced tutorial of sorts after the Undead Asylum. It's a really well designed section for one of the greatest games ever made (IMHO).

I'd love to watch more :)

Nice thread! My name is Thea, I am from Norway, and I am personally also on the spectrum (representing the B (though pan is more accurate) and the T in the LGBTQ+). I heard Kaine was a good character, though I never played the original Nier. Honestly I wish there better representation in games without it being shoehorned in. I remember Erica from Catherine and how she was handled in game just left a bad taste in my mouth. Definitely going to look into Night in the Woods; seems like my type of game.

Thanks a lot for this! I plan on finally getting into the series too, and was wondering the same thing ^^

I really want Full Throttle. Great memories from when I was younger :)

Mario is a plumber (and princess rescuer extraordinaire) , not a doctor. Also, Picross isn't very fun and not very Mario.

@ib0show I concur! I think Asylum really drove home the atmosphere and story and really the essence of Batman, whereas City, while being more open and visually impressive, felt more lackluster in those areas to me.
