Conegamer on 03 January 2013

Get ready for my derailed analysis...later. For now, let's just say that list may well look VERY different next year...

Great job Smeags! But how are ya gonna post the results on gamrReview this year...



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Smeags on 03 January 2013

So, with there being a top 250 this year, the "Just-Missed-Out!" (#251) Award goes to...

*drumroll*

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
2009
DS/Mobile/PSP

Thanks for playing, and there's always next year! ^_^

So it is Chrono Trigger!

Lol, Zelda: OoT? That made my list, but it's far from the top.

Yes, OoT. Wasn't that surprising was it?

Anyway, the last paragraph in the description pretty much says it all, why this game wins I mean!

Zelda made you cry?

hm...I don't know what game has ever made me cry. I know some have, usually those which actually have endings which inclue bad outcomes (like allies dying). Lost Odyssey! That game almost made me cry, I don't think it did, but man, what an ending. Every time I read one of those Dreams....it was sad, but impactful

Cry, cry, cry... Let's just say 'teary-eyed' .

if you like a good eye wetting you have to play through Prof Layton and the Unwound future that game got me right in the feels. Saying that the lost spectre or well it's sequal had my better half in tears towards the end too so they're both good for a good box of tissues.

That's the thing though, that never happens to me.

Except at the end of Ocarina of Time. Besides that it's a brilliant game regardless, the fact that it got to me emotionally so to say, says enough .

I have been looking for another Layton game after I beat Pandora's Box last month. Still considering either the 3DS game, or get another of the older ones. Unwound Future is Pandora's Box's sequel right? Might as well just get that.

yup unwound future is the next game in the series for you and then you'll be moving onto the last Specter, would think you'd need to be fairly hardy to not get some bit moved by the story of this game.

So uh... everything is tallied up and ranked.

Let's just say that Nintendo fans definitely showed up this year. *laughs*

Now to make everything pretty and presentable. ^_~


I'll be the judge of that. Where's the full list?

AH F*** I forgot to add Vanquish (360/PS3) to my list! It was the funnest game I have played in a long time! Next year


Awww man Vanquish... I was playing through that aiming for the no deaths playthrough and got killed by an invisible wall just before a cutscene started, have sulked at the game ever since :D

There is a trick to that. If you quit without saving and then restart your system and load your last save, it load to before you died.

I never died though, the hardest was finishing Challenge 6..... Man, I was shaking when I did it because I almost died on the final wave, and had the AI done a different attack, I wouldn't have been able to save myself.

I absolutely love achievements like that one, to finish a game without dying/taking damage or so I think the

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/sonic-the-hedgehog-4-episode-1/achievement/38271-Untouchable.html

from sonic 4 and the Untouchable achievements from Too Human are probably some of the most... fist pumping ones I've gotten just for pure focusing and trying to remember to breath out inbetween boss attacks :D Not sure if anyone other than me actually played Too Human before there was a law passed to destroy copies of it :D but damn good game once you get passed its flaws and yeah hard as nails, so finishing the whole game without a death, rockers hard.

Just waiting for SnakeDrake to finish now (He just needs his final 5 games! Someone bug him to finish! ). Other than I have all the data in...

While we're waiting, I guess I'll add that this year, it'll be a list of gamrConnect's top 250 games! Continue the tradition of increasing it by 50. ^_~

Oh, and I can give you guys a sneak peak by revealing how each series competed against itself (like how Final Fantasy games did against each other, etc.). Ask away!

How did the Zelda games rank against each other?
