The year is ending soon. What was your favorite game you played this year? Doesn’t have to be something that came out this year, just something you played.
>>729387040Call of Duty (2003)
>>729387040Zone of the Enders 1 & 2. I play them every year, and they're the best every time.
>>729387040Probably STALKER: Call of Pripyat. Gaming has taken a minor role since I started scale modelling and going to the gym after wagecucking.
>>729387040What genre of game would best be able to show off Legend of the Galactic Heroes?
*IMG I don't have saved of wenli holding up tea*metroid dread I think but that was waaay back in march
>2025>playing video gamesishygddt
>>729387040I can do both>favorite playedBaroque (PS1)>favorite from the yearKirby Air Riders, with Dragon Quest I&II HD being a close second.
Why isn't there a LoTGH game.
>>729387040Timesplitters RewindIt may be unfinished as all hell but its faithful to a T other than the crosshair bullshit
I'm gonna be real daring and say Expedition 33
>>729387040Either Bananza or Dragon Quest 3 2DHD
>>729387040Fantasy Maiden Wars.It getting an official full translation was completely unexpected, but damn was it good.
>>729389397I've been meaning to give rewind a go
>>729391021Its alright like I said very unfinished but what they have available is very enjoyable I just hope they update it soon I'm losing interest quite fast myself
Donkey Kong Bananza.
>>729388848>>729388349>>729387040prosit meine Freunde!
>>729387040SoP.
You can never go wrong with doom.
>>729389065Crusader Kings in space with separate mechanics for the Reich, Free Planets, and (((Phezzan))).
>>729394210>(((Phezzan)))I'm only 13 episodes in but it's hilarious how it really is just the Jews in space.
>>729389390it's too complex and nuanced for retarded devs to understand

I started playing mtg this year and its really fun It reminds me of oldschool yugioh where there a bunch of playstiles and deck building is more creative and less restrictive unlike ygo which looks you into archetypesI just really dont like the Cross Over shit and its making me want to quit the game
>>729387040Pic related.
>>729395691Oh yeah? Well I picked up the Neopets tcg sometime last year or so I have 2 functional decks evenThats neat though I've basically dropped yugioh myself
>>729394210I would kill for this as a game.
>>729396013I don't think the ridiculous amount of TCGs based on everything and everyone is ever going to stop surprising me. It sometimes feels like every single IP has or had a card game of it at some point.
>>729395691On a sidenote anyone know why xmage doesnt show all the cards legal in Standard?I wanted to build a White Angel Deck and none of the cards like Serra Angel are in xmage standard card list when they should be legal according to wizard and scryfalls list
>>729396170Im sure the entire tcg bubble will burst soonEver since jake paul dropped half a mill on a pokemon card normies have been buying this shit nonstop trying to rip each other off because they thing anything with pokemon on it has any value and as a result a bunch of IPs launched their own TCG to get into the hype of it Like Digimon and Disney with lorcanaI dont think anyone really plays them and once the fad fades there gonna be thousands of people broke because they bought into some stupid trend
>>729396170Neopets had an older tcg run by wizards actually it died, this is a revival
I played Baba is You and I don’t think I’ll ever play a better puzzle game. It’s perfect for my specific brand of autism.
Probably ghost of tsushima
i've been back to playing World of Tanks
>>729396441Anyone buying cards just for their value deserves to get their 'investment' to fall through. I do get why certain cards would be rarer than others from a money-making perspective, but I still hate it. I think that's why I never really got into any TCG but do enjoy video games that let me play the games in question. The gacha variants of TCG vidya can eat a million dicks though.
The Half Sword demo is the best thing I played this year
Beyond Citadel was pretty great.
>>729396687That was never a proble for me because i mainly played ygo and there a bunch of good online simulators that you can play Duelingbook is a one to one Simulation of the card game where you can physically emulate the game and play with every card in the game and ygo pro or MDpro3 are good automatic sims so you can play the game without ever having to spend a single dim on itFor Magic i havent seen something like that so i never got into it
Hades 2 and Europa Universalis 5 are the only 2025 games I can remember playing. They're both good.
>>729387040>What was your favorite game you played this year?Tie between:Hades 2Morrowind>>729387224The first 2 CoDs were actually good and it didn't go to shit until about the 4th
>>729389309Baroque in to Kirby is a hell of a combination
>>729389390Too hard for 90's computers to simulate battles with tens of thousands of participants and logh's too irrelevant now to have a game.
>>729387040>Doesn’t have to be something that came out this year, just something you played.No shit, retard.
RE4 Remake. Mercenaries, specifically.
>>729395691>playstilesHow do you play TCG if you're dyslexic?
Enchant FarmOctopath 0
>>729397320it's not exactly typing of the dead m8
>>729396813Same. That was also the only game I really enjoyed playing this year, not counting VNs.
>>729387040I thought Doom Dark Ages was the best game from this year, despite it not being as good as Eternal. Duke Nukem 3D Alien Armageddon is my personal goty however. A lot of love and autism was put into that mod.
>>729397320>TCG players>reading Good joke.
Sims 4 and I don't care to say it.
>>729397504Fucking living bulk bogan
>>729397320LMAO
>Current year: Ninja Gaiden 4Gameplay was typical Platinum stuff but done very well. Would have been nice to have something more akin to the old NG games but from the trailers I already expected it to be a Platinum fighter. Also I didn't expect to like Yakumo as much as I did. I find his try-hard edgy attitude endearing.>Other year: Mafia Definitive EditionPretty fun game especially for such a low price. Story was neat and the gameplay was good for a third person shooter. >Biggest dissapointment: NintendoThe problem is all the games are way too expensive. All the mainline titles are still full priced and I simply refuse to pay full price if a game is years old. Not to mention those games also looking very dated. Will probably sell my Switch and quit Nintendo games.>>729396601We all have 1 shitty online game we spend too much time on, it's ok.
>>729387040Crymachina was probably my favourite of the games I played this year, though I played a shitload of games this stuck with me, has some very interesting themes
>>729397215It’s better to be clear. Otherwise it would be your standard “game of the year” thread.
Conquest of ElysiumFuck this gameFuck wild life and cheating aiBut I can't stop playing it
>>729397196I’d say Paradox should make crusader kings in space, but they’d probably turn it into alien sci fi like stellaris. There’s have to be a mid that starts with “humans only” or something.
>>729387040Metroid Prime. It just holds up, dood. Though, if we only include games that came out this year, then Beyond Citadel.
>>729387040Xenoblade X DE Gaming has fallen, billions must keep playing the same games for the 2010s down to find good gaming experiences in this day and age.
Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers.
>>729387040I played>Astral Chain>Astro Bot>Stellar Blade (2nd playthrough)>Nier Automata (Dropped again)>KH3 and some of the DLC>currently doing another KH2 run
Ys Memoire Oath in Felghana is pure ludo
Seig reinhard octopath traveller 2 so far
Smash Bros. Brawl.
>>729390236Does this make you the normiest normgroid, or a based gigachad?
>>729397837I couldn't get past the gameplay.
Shhh, kotei-heika is sleeping
So far I enjoyed Art Academy for 3DS Twilight Princess
>>729398593>octopath traveller 2 so farare you expecting some major shakeups the coming 120 hours?
>>729389390There are but they dont have any modern releases
>>729387040Demons Rootscaught me entirely by surprise by how good it wasI was expecting an interesting experience but it genuinely has some of my favorite party members and character dialogueDeathpolca is best girland the OST is so fuckin goodChuSingura was also a good experience, but mainly because I played it with my dog laying next to me on the couch in his final days. The VN was really really good and I love the gimmick of each route since it lent weight to seeing characters you did the route for again, but it also helped me keep it together so that he was relaxed and unbothered laying next to me for hours in the last week or so before I had to put him to sleep. Dogs are about the only loyal animals left in this world. Employers suck, women suck, boomers suck, politicians suck, but my dog was always there for me and happy to see me when I came home. I'm looking forward to when I pass and go to heaven where I'll finally be free of this shitty world and see my boy again.Fuck you you're reading this blogpost.
>>729387040a tied between morrowind and fallout new vegasalso put massive amount of hours into killing floor 1 but ive been playing these games for decades now
>>729387040Easy Delivery Co and Voices of the Void. Cheers
>>729387040Tactics ogre reborn. Best tactics game by far. Much better than fft. Close second is fell seal. Ugly game with decent mechanics.
>>729389065Space opera tactics obviously. 80% fights 20%space ships
>>729387040Atomic Heart along with the DLCs. A very good game once you learn how to deal with the outdoor areas.
FE6 was fun I restarted a lot because i made a Ironman run
>>729387040Engage probably if we're talking about new experiences. Wish I had tried it sooner instead of letting the FE fanbase's mania influence me.
>>729391986The year is 2042. Stem cell research has allowed scientists to create a super computer out of lab-grown brains. The first task: run Doom.>>729396813Are there any other games that have that ultra-violent 80s/90s anime aesthetic?
>>729387040I played tons this year like 2000 hours, New games that i really liked was X4 foundations and Cyberpunk 2077, Not the game i hyped up for since 2013 but it was good enough.
>>729387040I played Factorio this year so that'd be it. If you mean at least my favorite game which I played for the first time, I guess that would be Majesty. Played it for the first time this year and it was overall great and very charming.
>Actual GameTainted Grail I guess>Honorary mentionInfra despite it being a walking sim>SurpriseDead Island 2 not being absolute shit even if only had one playable character, and for reminding me California deserved it.
>>729387040logh is such a great series i wish id seen it sooner I started it late last year and finished it early this year and i still cant stop thinking about itIm listening to the ops none stop in the background and watch a random episode every now and then
>>729389148Despite the utter state of Prime 4, Dread being so good still makes me hopeful for Metroid 6.
>>729401174Yeah, if sucks that there’s nothing else like it.
>>729387040Shinobi, Abiotic Factor, HL Alyx, Swordhaven, Ooo, and Roger, Vermintide 2, Thief FMs, Blade Chimera, Leap Year, Gothic, Tactics Ogre Reborn, RV There YetThose are the games I played for the first time this year that I really enjoyed.
>>729403219Favourite game?>swordhavenHow is it? Have you beaten it? Very buggy?
