Sop but it doesn't have any competition
>Strangers of Paradise
>Elden Ring
>Needy Girl Overdose
>AI Somnium Files
In that order. Haven't played anything else from 2022.
I think the only new game I’ve beaten this year so far is Catherine. I liked it.
new as in came out 11 years ago?
probably rise of the tomb raider
All I've played that released this year are Elden Ring, Sunbreak, and Nirvana Initiative. Was interested in Triangle Strategy but waiting to see if it ends up on PC in a few months like Octopath did. So far, GOTY is Elden Ring.
You can probably play it on PC anyway. Ryujinx and such
Either Elden Ring or Triangle Strategy, not sure
For me, it's pic related. Followed by Luminous Avenger iX 2.
Kirby has definitely been my favourite game released this year although I did recently pick up Monster Hunter Rise as my first MH game and while it took some time to get into I'm loving it so far. Just done all of the village quests and now going through 4star quests at the gathering hub.
Cuphead DLC and Neon White
Probably Neon White if I ignored the story. Other games I enjoyed were SoP, Infernax, Needy Girl Overdose and 7 days to end with you
Pokemon Legends Arceus

Or Elden Ring
Bad year.
elden ring > sunbreak > crystal project > v rising > stranger > vampire survivors
currently playing crystal project but im absolutely loving it, might end up higher than sunbreak and elden ring as long as the quality keeps up
I've also picked up an older MMO called Mabinogi at the request of a friend and playing with them and the small guild we joined has been a blast. It would be my GOTY hands down if it had come out this year. But it did not so I do not count it.
Mabinogi is good.
quick bump and I'll reply in a sec
bump ur bump haha
so far I haven't enjoyed anything from this year
was anticipating Elden Ring and Weird West but they were both disappointing
about to emulate Kirby but don't normally enjoy Kirby games, so we'll see
looking forward to:
>Live A Live
>RPG Time: Legend of Wright
>Grounded 1.0
>Scorn
>Pentiment
>Little Devil Inside
>The Callisto Protocol
>RPG Time: Legend of Wright
This came out a few months ago.
on like one platform in the US only or some shit, on the Microsoft Store, no idea what the plan was there
>isn't even anywhere available for pirate
Weak year tbh, but then again next year we are going to have BoTW, Starfield, FFXVI, and Spiderman 2 so it is all good. That said, Hogwarts is in no way released this year.
>dude 2022 will be STACKED!
>BotW 2, Starfield, Baldur's Gate 3, FF XVI, Stalker 2, Pragmata
>none of them make it
>dude 2023 will be STACKED!
and so it goes
I would agree with you except these games are coming in the first half of the year, aside from Pragmata or BG3, no way they are being delayed.
Redout2 already came out, so this is outdated. And will be so again in three days when Stray releases.
Jack's game was the standout of my gaming this year so far, I'm looking forward to playing as Bahamut summoner in the DLC. Elden Ring was also good, from a world design/exploration/lore point of view, but FROMs combat is just to sleepy for me now compared to other, faster paced action games.
can I get the quick rundown on this? all I saw was the Linkin Park style character when I expected pic related, and some cringekino cutscenes
is it sort of like DMC 3 meets Nioh or something?
>is it sort of like DMC 3 meets Nioh or something?
Not a bad way to put it, although you can't jump, you can still execute a solid air juggle on some enemies, depending on your weapon. The many different job and weapon choice make it feel more like nioh and you can effectively even flux between jobs to reset your break (guard) meter from the get go without any unlocks.
Also, despite the meme shilling when it was announced and the "bullshit" and 'linkin park' (actually a different band) moment the game has a fairly engaging plot, it just relies on reading some text boxes to get the bigger picture.
I hate the homosexuals who go into it expecting some MGR tier ironic, over the stop schlockfest. It's a slightly goofy game at times but also takes itself 100% seriously and is genuinely well written and impressively subtle at times and has a plot that I've been more engaged in than any this past decade. That with Nioh gameplay and it's an easy 9/10 game.
Go to sleep Nomura. Your game flopped.
Still waiting for it to hit Steam, great to hear someone liked the plot, though I regret that fricking Dunkey of all the people showed the ending in his video.
Spoilers aren't really that important for SoP. The game doesn't even try and hide the twist from you. It's more about how things came to be as they are and the mystery surrounding it rather than the simple fact in of itself so I'd say getting spoiled won't really hurt your enjoyment of it. Buy yeah a Steam release is all the game needs.
SoP easy
My GOTY will be Xenoblade 3
Ia this the thread where we pretend Elden Ring is not good?
I just like SoP more, ER is a close second.
Kirby
I've only played Elden Ring, Kirby and Tunic in that image although I'll probably have played the Cuphead DLC and Sunbreak by the end of the year. Out of the ones I've played probably Elden Ring. Kirby was good, in fact I liked it more than most Kirby games, but it's still got all the same flaws the series is known for that stops it from reaching greatness. Tunic was kind of shit and I regret wasting my time on it.
Played
>ER
>Sunbreak
>TMNT
>Cuphead DLC
>Neon
I would say its an ok year, goty is elden ring, hard to think anything will change that.
is TMNT worth playing solo? or can I just play online with randoms?
it's somehow worse than 2021, like fricking how.
But 2021 was great, possibly the best year in vidya since 2017
let me jog your memory
Black Souls II
Library of Ruina
And that's literally it.
>Literally what fricking released in 2021
a new Touhou
Neo TWEWY
RE8
Gnosia
Black Souls 2
Psychonauts 2
It Takes Two
Delta Rune Chapter 2
Little Nightmares 2
Not great but better than 2022
>RE8
>It takes two
>Delta Rune
>Little Nightmares
Those games are awful and you forgot Ruina.
Black Souls 2 came out in 2018 though.
Quality over quantity. Had a lot of fun with Ender Lilies and Grime too
Also Full Metal Daemon Muramasa and White Album 2 if you count VNs (I do)
>Full Metal Daemon Muramasa
Base-
>and White Album 2
Never mind
Nioh 2 BTFO your two crappy indie schizo shitshow
Wrong year but yes, you are correct.
>2021
>Murasama
If it's not in English, it doesn't exist
TMNT and Cuphead DLC
Otherwise not a single game
This
No it's fricking not what are you talking about
2022 is 10x better
Literally what fricking released in 2021
The worst Monster Hunter? A cool side-mode in a Mario port? A mediocre Resident Evil?
2021 was painfully bad
For me, it's King of Fighters 15. TMNT is a close second though.
Friendly reminder of how things used to be
Elden Ring honestly because it was so bad.
Only Final Fantasy Origins gets close.
>no sophie 2
Is there anywhere I should start in particular with this series or is it all disconnected, aside from the ones with 2 in the name, which I figure are direct sequels.
The Atlier games are grouped into trilogies with each game usually having a different protagonist but the same recurring characters so you'd want to start with the first in a trilogy. Those would be Rorona, Ayesha, Sophie and Ryza. I'd probably recommend Sophie since it's the first game without a time limit if you would rather not have them or Rorona if you're fine with time limits.
I know they all focus on alchemy but do any of them clean the UI a little?
I tried Ryza and I was filtered hard when I went to try making good items
>ryza vocalizes everything
>can't skip animations even though you need to repeat it a billion times
>organization and selection when you have more than 1 pane of items is atrocious
No, you need to learn your filters when making good items cause none of them are any better than Ryza is. For everything else it's just a case of dumping whatever you need into it.
>is completely forgotten
This game so so insultingly boring that I couldn't even finish it despite playing with a friend.
I haven't played a single game released this year. I'm still struggling to finish SMTV.
I was thinking about this just last night and realized I could only name like three games I've played that came out this year. I guess Neon White?
so what games of the last 5 years can be considered modern masterpieces?
BOTW
Cuphead
Nier Automata
just 2017 really
Nier Automata
Hollow Knight
Return of the Obra Dinn
Baba is you
Pathologic 2
Lobotomy Corporation
13 Sentinels
Factorio
Black Souls 2
Also forgot Zachtronics and Underrail
Slay the spire for sure
Subnautica?
I feel like gaming really hit its stride with the entire normie population around the start of 2017, every game sold really well, and the Switch brought shiton of people into gaming, I don't know if anyone remembers but a lot of games sold like shit previously like Dishonored 2, Watchdogs 2, Wolf 2, you would think something is wrong. Great year all around.
as the Anon that made this pic, it's kind of sad how little of them interest me
so many games look and feel so bland recently; where are the games on the level of Metroid Prime, Tropical Freeze, Abe's Oddysee? I need more Hollow Knight tier stuff
odyssey
pm games
that's it really, not sure if id call them masterpieces, the bar is simply too low
pm?
project moon
Neon white indie game of the year hands down. The level design alone is just so good, a really good tight experience.
>tunic
GOTY to me.
1. Neon White
2. Vampire Survivors
3. Elden Ring
4. Kirby
I'm still planning to play Digimon Survive, Live A Live, Needy Girl Overdose, so it will change.
I'm going to say Stranger of Paradise on the grounds it's the only 2022 game I have played but Elden Ring is in the mail
Kirby
