Troy baker kill sessions just as fast. I think this was his first game, so I understand why he was feeling guilty he was getting all that love but is a total boomer about video games. He killed it tho

that scene at the start of the game when everybody turned into rose petals and the expedition 33 banner showed was so fukking beautiful man :to: :to: :to: :to:

yeah I can't see a polarizing/complex game like DS ever winning GOTY, even if E33 wasn't in the picture (assuming 2 will be more of the same)

the stars are def aligning here though - amazing soundtrack/characters/voice acting/gameplay, great cutscenes (movie games :ohlawd:), creative story that everyone can easily understand and appreciate, non-cookie cutter ending, the sales, the critical acclaim, no controversy behind it (no grifter antics, no stans undermining since it's multi-plat, etc etc)

best I can see is Ghost of Yotei being runner up quality, but beyond that, I don't know if Sucker Punch has a generational game in them
I don't see death stranding beating this game however kojima is leaning into the combat this go round and dusted off a grey fox (cyber ninja) and solid snake type characters this time. So he coming for it.

It's been a long while since I've had any recent game music blasting from the sound system in the car, like legit over 2 decades probably.:flabbynsick:





But this game restored the feeling :ohlawd:


In particular flying waters-goblu and gestral summer party :ohlawd::ohlawd:



Edit: Actually I'm lying River City Girls 1 and some of streets of rage 4 did get burn.

This OST is heat, but there's definitely been many other fire OSTs over the last two decades that were whip-worthy.

But I see you already jellied yourself in your edit tho.

I was watching a video comparing this to Metaphor Refantazio's combat and it was good.

In a nutshell, both diverged from the foundational RPG games it evolved from but it doesn't make either or superior. I personally don't think another JRPG not having dodge/parry would make it worse. It's other aspects of a combat system altogether that makes them amazing.

This game feels long as fukk and I'm only 20 hours in. I'm at the Monolith going through what look like portions of previous areas.

Aint played in a week but when I shook that rust off :banderas:

I STILL ain't tackled the tower yet and I'm level 85 :heh:

Oh you're about to pack up like 75% of the stages off rip :heh:

Breh, whoever said they beat this game in 30-40 hours ain't do NONE of the side content. I'm 78 hours in and I'm still not done.

Yeah ppl just wanted to be first to say they beat the game. Meanwhile, The Reacher & Flying Manor should've been mandatory to the story and they all missed it :mjlol:
