Best game I've played this year is Reigns cause I'm interstate with family for another couple of days.

Swapper was really good, probably the toughest puzzle game I've beaten in a while. I was definitely tempted to YouTube solutions on a couple particularly difficult puzzles but I'm glad I didn't. The trophies being weird terminals hidden behind walls is kinda dumb but I can live without the cheevos.

Thanks to whoever suggested it!

I've been playing The Division, it's the only game I bought during the sale because it's the only game I really want on PC right now. It's fun! I am one of those insane people that likes cover shooters and thinks they're exciting, and the story is so incredibly paper-thin that I can basically just ignore it and have fun. I have killed many men named Alex, apparently.

If all the games that look good coming out this land, this might be the best year for games in years. I'm not sure how I'm going to find the time to play them all.

You may already have all your gimmicks planned Video Games, but making one month dedicated to playing games from 2007 would be a cool one.

Luckily I do have a month to play old games! Au-gust. Golden oldies. I could totally only play games from 2007 then! It would make great sense.

Also because I am away from my pc with the majority of my Japanuary games, I took my PS4 with me and have been doing it there instead. So far the first game of 2017 played has been the Metal Slug anthology. I also have Dragon Quest builders, ground Zeroes, Transformers Devastation, the new Strider and Nom Nom galaxy. I looked them up to make sure they were created by Japanese developers. They have been added to the viable list.

I have to say, this restriction is actually awesome!

Reposting this from the December thread:

My cousin brought his NES Classic to the new year's bash and all the cousins and significant others of cousins around our age had a great time reliving old memories, yelling while we were playing punch-out and Mega Man, teasing each other about the rusty skills. A true nostalgia machine.

Everyone was impressed that I remembered all the weaknesses of the punch-out guys.

I said come in!

I wanna get Yakuza 0, but I first want to finish Yakuza 5 and then play Yakuza 4. I have a large backlog of single player games right now I want to get through before I buy anymore games and i'm trying to save money anyways.

HOI4, Orwell, and Stellaris were my top 3 games of 2016. The two map games I couldn't put down, and Orwell had the same appeal to me that Her Story did which was pretty dope.

Also happy new year.

Overwatch was also in the top but I couldn't play it for a few months due to moving.

My Top 5 for 2016 probably has to be:

1. Pokemon Sun & Moon
2. Star Fox Zero
3. Kirby: Planet Robobot
4. Overwatch
5. Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice

Special shout-outs to Shantae: Half-Genie Hero and DOOM 2016

What about kingdom hearts indicated it will be good, the first was fun but not great and I don't think I've really heard anything great about the rest of them aside from making fun of the retarded naming conventions
