Did Chris Avellone being a sexual harasser make you cancel your pre-order. Pls update.

With Love,

Has this actually been proven?

I just finished my first ever RE4 run on Professional. While I beat all of the mercenaries, 5 stars for each character on the Gamecube I for some reason never did a Pro run, in fact it's the only RE game where I haven't other than the god awful RE6.

I've now moved on to playing Blue Reflection: Second Light on the Switch.

@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.

My list:

Resident Evil Remake
Skies of Arcadia
Eternal Darkness
Super Mario Sunshine
HM. Resident Evil 0
HM. Resident Evil 4
HM. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
HM. Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes

Of those picks that made the coutdown:

Resident Evil Remake

To this day, I still think that this stands as the greatest video game remake and that's saying something considering how many we get these days. It added/changed just the right amount but thankfully didn't cross a line by drastically changing the gameplay or the genre. It also wasn't some simple and questionable bump up in visuals and frame rate, this game was and still is gorgeous and incredibly atmospheric. When I hear people say that remakes like the recent Last of Us Part 1 are "built from ground up", it's ones like REmake that cause me to question what exactly that means these days.

Skies of Arcadia

The only port I chose to put on the list and that's also down to the fact that it hasn't been seen on anything else since. With a truly grand sense of discovery and adventure , SoA is such a phenomenal JRPG and easily one of the Dreamcast's finest games. The port to GameCube had the one noticeable issue of compressed audio but otherwise it was the same fantastic game available now to a new set of gamers who missed out on the DC; the small story/character additions to this version were just the cherry on top really.

Eternal Darkness

Horror is definitely a go-to-genre for me, always has been in any medium but despite playing so many games now and naturally seeing a lot of recycled ideas in the process, Eternal Darkness still remains an incredibly unique title. Ok, its story takes a lot from lovecraftian horror, but the way in which the story plays out and the the way it's presented to the player is what makes this game so memorable for me. Twelve different characters over twelve different time periods, seeing the same areas change to time as it gets closer and closer to modern day as the game progresses is fascinating, as is uncovering how and why these characters fates are intertwined despite some living many centuries apart. I also love the way it handles the characters so differently which some being killed off in some amusingly abrupt ways.

Mario and Zelda I think speak for themselves and most people know what the score is with these titles. Never truly understood the general negativity that surrounded Mario Sunshine though, I've heard all of the issues people have but they are all minor gripes in my opinion and don't really translate to the level of stigma this one particular game seems to have developed.

@neocweeny said in Xenoblade Chronicles 3:

I'm still only in chapter 3 and don't really know what to make of it. It's a good game but it isn't grabbing me the same way as previous Xenoblade games but also my personal life has changed a since Xenoblade 2. I can't really have long sittings with a game like I used to.

The 'grab' hasn't changed for me, life has caused issues though I suppose. The story of Xenoblade definitely ramps up with each chapter. as stated, but at the same time so does the size of the map and it just keeps ramping up from there.

It's all about Xenoblade 3 right now.

you remember 12 years ago I was young I used to troll xenoblade main theme all the time?

I remember 😀

Sher, you are not looking forward to Alan wake 2?

This and STALKER 2 were my most longest awaited anticipated sequels that finally come true. been hyping them since GT days.

I'm looking forward to all that you posted in a way, I've just changed a bit I guess. I don't really look forward much these days and I don't keep up with everything, releases or even buy half as much as I used to.
Xenoblade is literally around the corner so my attention is soley on that at for upcommers.

well you are now too old I guess.

you were even old back in GT days and it was 12 years ago.

Wow, cheers buddy lol

sher, do you believe I am same guy I was 12 years ago? or I have changed?

Obviously you've changed quite a bit.

I see, but what changes have you seen in me as recent compared to 12 years ago?

Sorry, missed this but I don't want to make this all personal.

You're more accepting of other people's interests and don't seem to insult others that disagree with you anymore.
You never made it personal though, you only ever commented on the games and never directed at individuals past around 2014

I sent in my list. Had to cut so many great games. 8 spots is not enough.

I know what you mean, It's trying to work out if you should vote Wario World or Mario Sunshine, both leaving few spaces.

Anyone actually finished this yet?

I've hit 65 hours and sunk my teeth into chapter 6. I agree with some of the compliments to the quest system but at the same time I've reached my end when it comes to revisiting every single colony/camp site following major plot points or chapters; it's made even worse by the fact that you need to scour the whole place just to see if any yellow circles may appear and then there's the long winded nature of discussing everything you hear.

I adore this game but at the same time I need to admit burn out so I'm probably going to b-line the ending now. I'm level 68 and feel confident I'm OK to finish it

I forgot to enter this one for some reason but I'll post my picks at the end.

I'm surprised by what's left as I certainly don't see the original Spyro 1 as the best in the series and as beautiful as Rift was I can't help but feeling like it's down to its newness that it would be wining here.
Spiderman was very good but I still can't help but feel that age comes into play here because of limits to what people have played
