I don't think I even played 10 different titles so far because FFXIV got its hooks on me REAL bad. If someone asks me to think up a prelimenary GOTY list on the spot it'll probably looks something like this:

1. FFXIV: Stormblood. Started the game again in december after a 2 years hiatus and got addicted to it. Though the reason why I'm so hooked on this game is most likely due to the social aspect of it. Been a part of a guild with super cool people in it which makes me want to go back into playing everyday, even though I'm not doing all the hardcore content the game has to offer.

2. Nier Automata. I really loved the first Nier back then and Automata is much better in all aspects. Fun gameplay, awesome music and the story...can't wait to hear the discussion about it on GB's GOTY podcasts.

3. Destiny 2. Never got into the first one because I was too cheap to pay for PS Plus when D1 was 'big'. Got the second one on PC and I'm really into it so far...enough to pull me away from FFXIV. Maybe my feelings on it will wane after a few more weeks of playing, who knows?

4. FFXII: Zodiac Age. I actually played a fan translated PS2 version of the IZJS a few years ago. With that said, it's good to play it 'more legally' on current console. The graphics holds up super well throughout the time and the HD enhancement just adds more flair to it. Playing this again definitely reminded me why FFXII is one of my favorite non-MMO FF entries. Still have to finish it though because Stormblood dropped around the same time I was playing this game.

5. Persona 5. I really wished I liked P5 more than I did. I actually stopped playing the game by the time I reached the last dungeon(?). I guess I'm just too stuck on my love for P4 and their characters. Or maybe because of FFXIV.

6. Horizon: Zero Dawn. Haven't even planned to get this game before it went to sale a while ago on PSN. Money well spent I'd say. It's a beautiful game and I find the story that they're telling to be quite compelling. But after dozens of hours hunting and killing robot dinosaurs I just can't help but thinking how badly I want the new Monster Hunter to come out.

At some point I'd probably get and play Assassin's Creed: Origins before the end of the year because I'm quite interested in the old Egypt setting. Want to finish P5 and Zodiac Age too, but man where do i find the time!

Hi! Seen some of you <VinCo> folks around :) I was wondering if you have a linkshell for GB folks? Would like to hang out with you cats but I'm already a part of an FC that I like quite a bit.

Oh man I totally remember this! There is indeed a real life counterpart to Yakuza's pocket racing which is called Mini 4WD . Tamiya (also known for their scale models) is probably one of the biggest manufacturer for these mini 4wd cars and their tune-up parts. It used to be quite popular in (south)east asia back in the 90s, at least that was when I jumped into the bandwagon as a kid. The costumizing thing is a real thing as well! I remember having to do chores for my parents so that I can buy a new motor/dynamo and wheels for my racer. People who were really into it did a bunch of crazy thing to their racers: Building their own bodykit/chassis or even spooling their own dynamo. One of the things about mini 4wd that stuck in my mind is how fast these racers actually are. I remember seeing people who had to use gloves to stop their racer to prevent getting hand injuries due to the speed of the racers.

Unfortunately, it seems like the popularity of mini 4wd racing seems to have dwindled quite a bit. Did a quick search on amiami/Hobby Link Japan and none of them carry any of mini 4wd cars in stock :(

(Edit: seems to still be a thing in Japan, found a youtube video of last year's Japan Cup)

I'd rather wish for the beastcrew to be in the new KH game. I mean, Johnny V can totally make that happen right?

As for Playdate, they should play more obscure games. I will be super happy if they play Rule of Rose.

Yes but only the online ones.

Guaranteed GB content till 2070 or whenever those server closes.

Just joined the community (PSN: ZeroAperture)

Up for a good time mostly on late nights GMT+1. Don't have a mic (yet) though.

Yakuza 5 all day every day.

Guys, guys what if our ancestor actually came from Kepler-452b and fucked up the planet so badly so they had to migrate to this Earth?

It's a part of a late game story quest.

This thread made me want to play Xenoblade again, but then I remember that I lost my disc and sold my Wii. I hope they will put this game on the HD remaster train too for the Wii U.
