    Persona 5 Royal is it for me. One of my favorite games of all time hands down. I put 170hrs in that game and loved every second of it. I rarely play games twice but I love this game so much as soon as I beat it I immediately started new game plus. This game is absolutely outstanding. 10/10.

      You can’t tell me a game that gives you a specific amount of time to beat a boss and doesn’t tell you how many days are a complete waste is considered a 10/10 game.
      I couldn’t believe they rolled my game back couple hours because they didn’t bother giving you information that would prevent me from wasting my fkin time with the game.
      If I have 2 days left to beat a boss, and I decide to go for it, only to have an extra day wasted on some roof top before the boss gets the message, then another day wasted for him to realize the message 😂 how fkin stupid of a game design that it, it’s insane. I’m having trouble putting it in words how stupid it is.
      Hey here is 7 days to beat the boss, but it’s really 4 days because the other 3 are just running around classes and waiting for boss to come to terms with it in real life. Oh you waited till day 4 to start it? Too bad, we’re gonna roll your game back a week and waste your 5 hours of gameplay for no reason.

      However I do not find it to be As Fun as Celcetta was… could just be the Timing?? Idk? When I had my Vita & Celcetta & everything, my life was in a good, Much better place than it has been.. so idk? I’ve also aged more..

      From Software figured it out. Elden Ring captures the imagination of old school gamers in a similar way that the original Zelda did. No hand holding, they just put you in the middle of the world and tell you to explore and figure it out on your own. Elden Ring has more in common with the legend of Zelda than people might think at first glance.

    Outside of the ones already on Johnny's list, I'd say Persona 5 Royal and 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim. Most people already know about P5, but I think 13 Sentinels should be on a lot more people's radars. The storytelling is among the best I've seen in any medium, and the whole 80s sci-fi anime theme is right up Johnny's alley. With the Switch port coming up soon, it's the perfect time to pick it up.

      I agree on Persona 5 Royal being 10/10 one of the greatest jrpgs of all time in my opinion. 13 sentinels is really good I got bothered by the lack of direction sometimes i would be wondering around trying to find what they wanted me to inspect. The battles were amazing and the story was great as well but sometimes their would be so many plotlines intersecting I would get a little lost on whats going on lol.🙃 I hope they make sequel or a similar game in that style!

    This is an amazing list, and definitely mirrors my own!
    Ghost of Tsushima took over my life once while playing solo and again when the multiplayer Legends mode came out. An absolute masterpiece!
    Dragon Quest 11 was a game I chipped away at for 30 mins at a time for ~2 years and became my favourite video game of all time. I have never experienced a true adventure like I did in DQ11.
    And Ys 8 is a game I first bought on Vita and then re-bought on PS4 because it DESERVED 60fps on the biggest and most beautiful screen I could find. I'm currently playing through this now and it is the video game equivalent of the word "fun."
    Great list Johnny, looks like I gotta check out the remaining few I haven't tried yet 😁

  • @DrBillogna
    @DrBillogna 2 года назад +21

    13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is a 10/10.
    It's a 30-hour game that's roughly 20% real-time strategy and 80% story. The novelty of 13 Sentinels is that it game-ifies cutscenes by letting you play through 13 separate stories that intertwine and scatter like an asynchronous Tarantino movie. You're supposed to guess what happens next while you play, and each story segment is about 8 to 20 minutes, which is enough time to reveal 1 (or several) parts of the overall story.
    Great story, great writing, great hand-drawn animations, great music, great voice acting, fun gameplay, and it's coming to Switch this month!

    • @sharebear421
      @sharebear421 2 года назад +1

      @@sharebear421 I wouldn't touch 13 Sentinels if you're not in the mood for story telling. It's probably the best story I've seen in any game.
      The gameplay was something that I thought wouldn't like, but I ended up falling for it. Playing on the highest difficulty and making your own strategies for getting through the stages with no damage to your characters or the city is really, really fun. It scratches an itch that I thought something like Fire Emblem would solve for me.

    I don't generally care for roguelikes but everything about Hades makes me happy: Story (first ever Hugo award for a game), Characters, Combat & Controls, MUSIC (go listen to In the Blood!); every facet is great individually, and it all comes together to make something even more grand.

    I'm nervous about DQ too, I love that it has always remained turn based and I actually started to fallback to this series more than FF since FF went and changed so much. Hopefully it will be fine. I think they would alienate more fans of DQ than they would FF if they changed it from turn based. Hopefully it is just a minor adjustment / evolution of turn based.

    • @jeremyroberts8822

      @@jeremyroberts8822 yeh I would be ok with that but it would still take some getting used to for a DQ title lol. Then again I love DQBuilders and that combat is simple and action lol.
      I think they should keep it turn based but just speed it up a bit. Like a blend of maybe FF10's combat and Octopath Traveller (the tactical side of it, enemy weaknesses etc) or just something awesome. Not quite sure how but just evolve turn based. Persona has a fast feeling turn based system which is pretty cool. I never feel like a Persona game is slow in combat. It always feels so good and satisfying when you exploit a weakness, same in Octopath
