No it's not. You know that.

Then what games are?

There are a bunch of games that got higher critical praise and many many games that are more beloved by way more people. You should be aware of that.

i haven't thought about the yo-kai watch series in so long but wow, those games really fell off the face of the planet. level 5 seems like the experts on creating a fad series and then destroying it or simply not knowing how to manage the success.

Its at number 19 on Metacritic of all time games. More like number 13 since games like GTA 4 and 5 have several spots because of different platforms. It has a 9 average user score. I mean its number 169 on Metacritic, but many above it has 9s as well. So I would say that is pretty good.

Excuse me, I missed the "one of" in your previous post. We agree there. I was of the impression you said it's the single most highly praised game.

No, that would be Ocarina Of Time I think. Its all good though



Super Mario Maker 3 HAS to be happening on the Switch 2, right? With the new elephant Mario and all.



 

 

 

 

 

@haxxiy Considering how traditional 2D Mario games have sold far better than Mario Maker this generation, I feel like they'd be better off making an original 2D Mario game on Switch and then making Mario Maker paid DLC for it.



Incredible sales for 3.Houses

I hope we don't need to wait too long for a sucessor with similar structure and gameplay

I liked Engage combat system and map design, but everything else was a downgrade compared to 3 Houses



Despite what others say, I think Bayonetta 3 and Astral Chain bombed.
