Favorite Game Played in 2022: Paradise Killer*. Wonderful mix of first person exploration, a story driven whodunnit with an very interesting, colourful cast of characters, and absolutely outstanding music. I love this game.

Ender Lilies is a close second. Screw Metroid Dread, this is a far better metroidvania

Least Favorite Game Played in 2022: Akiba's Trip: Hellbound & Debriefed. Absolute gutter trash, not because of anything lewd, but because the performance and gameplay are an absolute mess. Burn it.

A close second is RIVE. Pretty, performs well, but the gameplay is mostly set pieces that are annoying af, and mostly about luck, not skill. Also, the dialogue was among the cringiest I've ever had to deal with.

Favorite Gaming Moment in 2022: Currently working my way through Bayonetta 1 on Switch and trying to platinum all the levels. Anytime that happens I'm pretty stoked.

Proudest Collection Accomplishment of 2022: Culling some CEs (that I admittedly got for dirt cheap) just so they didn't take up needless space.

Ender Lillies and Paradise Killer for me

Isn't Ender Lillies a couple of years old at this point?

Dunno, I only play physical, so as far as I'm concerned it came out this year.

General / Re: Game Awards 2022 early predictions?

« on: September 28, 2022, 05:25:54 pm »

I'm going to be the grump and ask why anyone cares about these awards.

They're run by a bunch of people who hate gamers, populate the audience with people who couldn't pick Mario out of a lineup, and then base their decisions not on what games actually play the best, but what fits their ideas at the time.

In other words, they've worked hard at trying to make this like the Oscars, and that is not a good thing IMO.
