Some people would say that February is too late in the year to put out a "Best Games of the Year List," but to that I say.... Umm.. Thanks for Watching And Don't Forget to Subscribe! Comment Below what your favorite games were in 2022!!
I couldn’t tell if you were joking in the video Mr. Spaceman, but if you weren’t, you did not finish nier automata. Reload your last save and you’ll be able to get new content.
“The Pokémon company released 2 main series games this year and they finished ‘one of them.’” Seeing the Pokémon company getting roasted always brings me a concerning amount of joy.
If you start up your save file in Nier Automata again, you will play through it all over again as 9S. Once you beat that start up your save file again to do the last play though, and then you’ll have the full story.
You HAVE to see the other endings of NieR Automata. Because it's not so much a see the other endings kind of thing. If you stop in ending A or B you are just missing the second half of the game and the story
Based Triangle Strategy take. In a year with a shit ton of good games, including Splatoon 3, Triangle Strategy came out of nowhere to be my favorite of the year. Highly recommend playing it, it’s phenomenal.
Fire Emblem Three Hopes was personally really fun for me because of the characters and story alone. Everyone was still really fun and entertaining, and this game was an opportunity to explore alternative storyline to Three Houses, and it was really cool to see mentioned characters from Three Houses actually have real models and voices ! Warriors style games are definitely not the most entertaining (though I kind of like them a good amount), and I have definitely fallen asleep sometimes while playing, but overall, I really enjoyed it 😬
I really liked Shez. Thought he was a pretty cool protagonist. I just really wish that after hinting so much about his mysterious mother in the support conversations that they released a story DLC cause the game seemed like it was begging for it.
Shez is by far the best avatar in the series, love them. I’d propose you to raise the difficulty to hard or maddening and really get into all the cool abilities from putting units in weird classes and bringing them over to what said character does best
I personally think what keeps me coming back to Three Hopes is just how replayable everything is. Three Hopes NG+ completely dumpsters House's NG+, and for so many different reasons. ~ The Vanguard Whistle allows you to completely skip required levels to advance the story at a hyper-rapid pace. ~ Maddening is genuinely really difficult with Low-Level units. ~ You get to keep all the Weapons and Gear you collected in the previous routes. ~ Your Development Level carries over, so downtime in camp is minimized. ~ You can make characters learn and grow into weird classes with very little consequence for doing so. (if anything, you can only gain by doing it) ~ You can play as any character you've unlocked in ANY ROUTE and use them in levels with the Record Keeper. ~ Merc Whistle + Ferdinand = PROFIT. ~ Gatekeeper is unlocked as a playable character for beating all the routes. I'm probably forgetting something, but yeah I think if you tried a Golden Wildfire NG+ run, I'd say you'd probably like it a lot more now that you can cut the fat.
I'd argue Sylvain's Gordian Strike is better if using it with Shez especially with the Dark Creator sword to make the combo count skyrocket, but agreed nonetheless.
If 3 Hopes was a traditional Fire Emblem and really dived into the theory of Arval being an Agarthan made deity made to specifically combat Sothis with spacial powers, I might’ve liked it as much as 3 Houses… even though it basically means creating a whole new game lol
He put hollow knight in there and I said "hell nah" i can write a essay on why hollow knights game design has some extreme nuance and amazing differentiation among us fellow metroidvania . That whole sentence felt so out of place
21:14 That one is a *masterpiece*. The kind of game that doesn't make you sad when you lose your save file, because that means you can play it again ( I speak from experience ). Also, the DLC is really good. Definitely recommend it if you want more after finishing the main story, it is peak CrossCode.
@@mmelo7832 The combat, boring ? Weird, especially since you stopped where you get the first "spice" of its combat, ie access to multiple Combat Arts. It's definitely far from when combat starts expanding, which happens midway into the first dungeon, but it's not barebones either
Did you beat the super boss on hard max level in xenoblade 3? Or played on hard at all? Cause I don’t think we played the same game and I was changing strategy to overcome challenges pretty often The game is very mindless on normal and below I think overall it’s a very solid game and the hero quest and story was very good. The best structure, pacing and combat in the series so I dunno how it’s underwhelming Maybe it was a safe entry in the series I agree but it wasn’t near “underwhelming”
There could certainly be improvements, but I thought Three Hopes was quite a refined version of the combat system. I think his problem might be similar to Xenoblade 3, both Three Hopes and Xenoblade 3 are much better if you play them on a higher difficulty.
The issue is that it has to be done right. I think a lot of people say the combat is boring and repetitive because they haven’t played the right game. A lot of them are bad and repetitive but they are amazing when done well
On the Scarlet Blaze route of Three Hopes I just dominated everything with Manuela as a Gremory because I decided that eff this, she was my favorite in Three Houses, I'm gonna stick mostly with her even if she's bad. Between her amazing personal skill, batshit insane stats and the magic classes being really fun if you know what you're doing, it was a blast. I missed her terribly in the other routes, especially Golden Wildfire where none of my top 3 were available (Manuela, Catherine, Jeralt (killed him and Byleth to see what would happen)), but overall I still had a bunch of fun. Especially Scarlet Blaze, that even managed to somehow make me gain interest in geopolitics despite originally not being into politics at all lmao.
@@CuteHimbo yeah that game makes anyone interested in politics fr lmao. I also used Manuela a ton in SB too, they actually made her really good in this game
I really liked Fire Emblem Three Hopes actually. I dunno, it's strange cause I'm usually not interested in Warriors games but this one was pretty fun. All three routes were quite enjoyable to me and it didn't feel quite as "turn your brain off" as you claim it to be.
I wish you actually explained why you thought Scarlet and Violet are bad, because I feel like everywhere I go I see people say that "it was bad even when ignoring the glitches" and then refuse to elaborate further.
In Triangle Strategy, "you will listen to half an hour of dialog, play a ten minute level, and another half an hour dialog" Dude you must be a genius to finish those levels in ten minutes
Just finished P5R yesterday after 112 hours, and here you are dropping your thoughts on it 😅. I agree completely with the absurdity of the Okumura fight - absolutely no fun to be had, and I had to change the difficult to be able to beat this fight. Same with the final secret boss of Royal - got wrecked by an attack that definitely shouldn’t have taken me out, only to find out there’s a hidden turn count that wipes you out if you take too long. The game as a whole, though, was definitely awesome.
This video feels like a great example of your growth. Had really good jokes, editing, pacing, and reviews throughout. It's like every video you make now is my new favorite Cpt. Astro video. A few thoughts: SHORT HIKE SWEEP BABY (better than BotW) R.i.p. the book you would have bought instead of Pokemon Violet :( I didn't know about the "Nintendo Seal of Quality" before this video, and I can see why. Great metaphors, favorites are Missingno = Splatoon, homophobic dog, smiley Roomba, and chessboard flip. MHS2 took an annoying feline sidekick character and made it an even more annoying feline sidekick character. Cat slander is real.
Yaaay Triangle Strategy getting the love it deservs. Definetly my favorite game from last year. Finished it 4 times, running hard difficulty deathless the last playthrough.
The fact that I picked up P5R for the Switch yesterday after watching tons of reviews and all, *and now here it is, following me!* Love it! Can't wait!
Just to put out here for the Three Hopes bit for each ending it feels like I was being blue balled for learning the whole ashes backstory stuff especially when I didn’t screw up the Byleth recruitment that ending felt like being blue balled again.
pls for the sake of Yoko taro, play Nier automata until ending E. Even if you dont like the story, which is nearly impossible i would say, just play it for the storytelling. Ive never seen a different game tells a story in such a unique style, besides NIer replicant :)
As someone who is a big time FFXIV player, it took me getting a poster with the Scions on it to notice that, yeeeeah, a lot of the characters have white hair (the one main character that has red hair is a massive stand-out).
I just found your channel and content today, and I'm so upset that I wasn't able to find you and your hilarious content sooner. Definitely liked, commented and subscribed, captain.
Respectfully, I think some of your points about Three Hopes are kinda wack. Your point that all the routes are bloated is kinda nonsensical. On *first playthrough*, sure, any of the routes can be around 35-40 hours, but once you hit NG+, you're given the Vanguard Whistle which cuts down how bloated the other two routes are by a significant margin by skipping mini-missions. If your Scarlet Blaze playthrough 35-40 hours, then Azure Gleam and Golden Wildfire will be like 10-15 using the Vanguard Whistle. Not only that, but all camp progress you made during one route carries over into the next, cutting down even more filler between major story battles. Also, the characters not having interesting to say between battles is untrue, there's a ton of world-building and nice character writing that can be extrapolated from 95% of the dialogue. Even implying that it's akin to Engage is extremely disrespectful for no reason.
You seriously did yourself a disservice by not playing Cross Code yet, I hope you give your opinion on it at some point, it's not a master piece, but no game needs to be, but it's one of the most redeeming games I've played in years.
You did not finish Automata in the slightest. You still have a pretty big chunk of the story to actually go through. The best way to think of Niers story is that it's separated into 3 acts, acts 1 and 2 being the same story told from different perspectives while act 3 being a continuation of the story from acts 1 and 2. Same with the endings, A and B are the ends of acts 1 and 2 while C-E are the endings of Act 3, with the ending in act 3 being down to a choice you make within the final hour of the game.
If you thought that Xenoblade 3 didn't require strategy then you most likely played it on Normal mode. It is a very different experience on Hard (until you unlock lucky 7)
I love how brutally honest Astro was, not pretending to like games unconditionally to appease people. I'm also glad I wasn't the only one late to the persona 5 bandwagon due to not having a ps4, the game is SO good.
Okay as someone who dislikes the warriors games though P5S is actually really refreshing and if you like the characters in 5 has one of the best new addition party members. Also it fleshes out some of the main characters that really needed it. Great video as always!
BIG PERSONA 5 ROYAL SPOILERS Great video captain o7 but I also just wanted to point out that you left in a massive P5R spoiler at around 23:03 (the save file that says Maruki's Palace) so you may wanna leave a spoiler warning about that
13 Sentinels barely made it under Triangle Strategy for my game of the year, it’s truly one of the coolest ways I’ve seen a story be framed in a video game. And the soundtrack??? 🔥🔥🔥 Then again I clocked in 80 hours into Pokémon Violet so don’t listen to me! 🤖 (Also Persona 5 Strikers is actually pretty good)
13 sentinels is INSANE. One of the few times I’ve actually taken notes playing a game, often to write down questions or theories, and literally everything I questioned was eventually explained in the most insane way possible. One of the best sci fi stories ever, full stop
Oof, trying to pick a favorite for last year was rough. Live A Live Remake is the one I'm picking because it is such a unique RPG that is absolutely gorgeous.
mr space man is very correct when he said haru is boring because if they gave her more then a frame of screentime she wouldve been fucking good but nooooo we cant have good things the music slaps though so it evens out pretty well
Three Hopes was my most disappointing game of the year The gameplay was decent, i enjoyed it Tho there should’ve been a goddamn Garreg Mach map The story was just so AWFUL!! Tho the Voice Actors put in 1000%!! R.I.P Billy Kametz And it hurts three houses in many aspects Not to mention how wasted Byleth was Also Shez was uninteresting Especially compared to Byleth
I don't know if you've played it yet but Outer Wilds is really good. It's an open world(s) space exploration game. If you do decide to play it I recommend knowing as little as possible about it as your progress is solely dependent on your knowledge.
On the Three Hopes debate, (firstly, based for using Constance and Jeritza. Mercedes crying in the corner for not bringing her along) you should definitely try a harder difficulty like hard or maddening, there you can actually feel the difference all the cool abilities make, and it asks for lots more strategizing from the player. Same for Xenoblade too, it sounds like you played it on easy mode. It’s by far the deepest combat in the series
i sincerely hope someday he beats Automata, absolutely a fucking masterpiece, (and for the love of god don't get tricked into thinking it requires 4 playthroughs or something preposterous, it's 1 playthrough where u briefly retread ground with a new perspective before it REALLY kicks off)
The song cut out before the line finished at the end of the video, so now I have to go listen to the whole Persona 5 Royal soundtrack. How could you do this to me.
There's a couple games in the "haven't played yet" that I personally enjoyed. I'd recommend Crosscode and LiveALive if I had to narrow down the choices. Thanks for the video.
ngl, I actually really liked Pokemon Violet. For how rushed it is, open world works out well for the gameplay, and it wraps up with some of the best writing in the series since B/W.
Oh man I cannot wait until you play Disco Elysium. Please make a video about it. It has the best writing I've seen in any video game. Obra Dinn is also one of my all time favorite games so I hope you talk about that one too. If you enjoy those two games I'd also recommend giving Pentiment a try.
My favourite game from 2022 is sonic frontiers, amazing sound track and the open world to explore was very enjoyable, my second favourite was legends arceus because it’s a fresh new take on Pokémon and had very engaging gameplay, 2022 was a great year for me
Persona 4 Golden on switch is amazing, however I'd suggest waiting to get 3P, and getting it on PC because we already know it's gonna be a "fans fixed the game with mods" kinda game
Ok I finished the video !!! No February is never too late for a 2022 video 🙏 I played royal a few years ago on my sister's ps5 when she basically forced me into it one summer lol .... no good goro was my favorite part what a punk. I wouldn't quite call it a favorite game but I did enjoy it. Still prefer devil survivor, now that's a game 🙏 My favorite this year was 1000% kirby but I also started professor layton and that ruined my life /pos also 3 hopes which was sooooo fun. Linhardt and Shez's A support, instant 5/5 stars. Really fun video !! Your opinions don't exactly align with mine but I respect your takes and I like hearing your perspective
if you want an HD pixel art chrono trigger inspired game, check out the sea of stars demo!! the demo's on the switch already and the full game will be released later this year!
I also find warriors games really repetitive But p5 Strikers let's you use personas in it and that actually makes the gameplay a bit more interesting I'd recommend at least giving the beginning of the game a shot and see how you feel about it ^^ The writing's also super great too
One more for the bullshit boss fight in persona 5, turning the difficulty down because you've realised you're under-statted for the fight ACTUALLY MAKES THE GAME HARDER. Turning it to Merciless makes it easier!
The Okumura boss fight was the only time I failed a boss multiple times and had to go back a day to redo my resources and characters to be able to complete the fight
Some people would say that February is too late in the year to put out a "Best Games of the Year List," but to that I say....
Umm..
Thanks for Watching And Don't Forget to Subscribe!
Comment Below what your favorite games were in 2022!!
Oh but Mr spaceman, wouldn't it be smarter to wait and to upload more than once in the upcoming month?
I couldn’t tell if you were joking in the video Mr. Spaceman, but if you weren’t, you did not finish nier automata. Reload your last save and you’ll be able to get new content.
this was such a fun video, but also yes you should finish nier
I played Undertale for the first time (yeh, I'm late to the party). I fell in love with it
Mr. Spaceman, you should try playing SRB2 👀 thatsrb2dude has a good name for a reason
“The Pokémon company released 2 main series games this year and they finished ‘one of them.’” Seeing the Pokémon company getting roasted always brings me a concerning amount of joy.
Unfortunately the finished one is way worse than the unfinished one
@Obi DeBoy Naw Sun and Moon are better
@@internetguy7319 Mentally ill mentality
@Obi DeBoy ……its called pokemon how can it not be pokemon lmao
@ObiDeBoy I agree but this seems like a comment you spam under every pokemon related comment
If you start up your save file in Nier Automata again, you will play through it all over again as 9S. Once you beat that start up your save file again to do the last play though, and then you’ll have the full story.
^^^^ this !!!
I played this game so much i got bad at it and got the E ending which means the worst ending
this right here
You HAVE to see the other endings of NieR Automata.
Because it's not so much a see the other endings kind of thing. If you stop in ending A or B you are just missing the second half of the game and the story
Only playing route A and B is like ur playing the demo or prolouge
Based Triangle Strategy take. In a year with a shit ton of good games, including Splatoon 3, Triangle Strategy came out of nowhere to be my favorite of the year. Highly recommend playing it, it’s phenomenal.
I am so so happy you played A Short Hike. The fact that you played that wonderful game made my day
Congrats you missed more than half of Nier automata 💀
Fire Emblem Three Hopes was personally really fun for me because of the characters and story alone. Everyone was still really fun and entertaining, and this game was an opportunity to explore alternative storyline to Three Houses, and it was really cool to see mentioned characters from Three Houses actually have real models and voices !
Warriors style games are definitely not the most entertaining (though I kind of like them a good amount), and I have definitely fallen asleep sometimes while playing, but overall, I really enjoyed it 😬
I really liked Shez. Thought he was a pretty cool protagonist. I just really wish that after hinting so much about his mysterious mother in the support conversations that they released a story DLC cause the game seemed like it was begging for it.
And you’re so right ! Shez was a much better than the protagonists in the old fire emblem warriors. I also really wished that the game got dlc 😭
Nintendo warrior games really made people playing it over regular styled warrior games
@@kookamungax persona 5 strikers too :(
Shez is by far the best avatar in the series, love them. I’d propose you to raise the difficulty to hard or maddening and really get into all the cool abilities from putting units in weird classes and bringing them over to what said character does best
This channel is way to entertaining to be this small. I hope one day you get the recognition you deserve
I rate this video a "I need to play more games"/10
I personally think what keeps me coming back to Three Hopes is just how replayable everything is.
Three Hopes NG+ completely dumpsters House's NG+, and for so many different reasons.
~ The Vanguard Whistle allows you to completely skip required levels to advance the story at a hyper-rapid pace.
~ Maddening is genuinely really difficult with Low-Level units.
~ You get to keep all the Weapons and Gear you collected in the previous routes.
~ Your Development Level carries over, so downtime in camp is minimized.
~ You can make characters learn and grow into weird classes with very little consequence for doing so. (if anything, you can only gain by doing it)
~ You can play as any character you've unlocked in ANY ROUTE and use them in levels with the Record Keeper.
~ Merc Whistle + Ferdinand = PROFIT.
~ Gatekeeper is unlocked as a playable character for beating all the routes.
I'm probably forgetting something, but yeah I think if you tried a Golden Wildfire NG+ run, I'd say you'd probably like it a lot more now that you can cut the fat.
Was about to mention the Vanguard Whistle. It really saves the pace for replays of the other routes!
I'd argue Sylvain's Gordian Strike is better if using it with Shez especially with the Dark Creator sword to make the combo count skyrocket, but agreed nonetheless.
@@pirateFinn Trust me, I know FULL WELL that if Ferdie's ability isn't best, then Sylvain wears that crown VERY comfortably.
If 3 Hopes was a traditional Fire Emblem and really dived into the theory of Arval being an Agarthan made deity made to specifically combat Sothis with spacial powers, I might’ve liked it as much as 3 Houses… even though it basically means creating a whole new game lol
“All these metroidvanias are the same”
He says to the game that helped define a genre
He put hollow knight in there and I said "hell nah" i can write a essay on why hollow knights game design has some extreme nuance and amazing differentiation among us fellow metroidvania . That whole sentence felt so out of place
And those 4 games are completely different 👁
Always happy to see a new vid from space man
Thanks Chris!!

I tried to get into it but the combat is just so boring imo, I got to the fight against the guy who duels you and had to put the game down
@@mmelo7832 The combat, boring ? Weird, especially since you stopped where you get the first "spice" of its combat, ie access to multiple Combat Arts.

Or played on hard at all?

SHORT HIKE SWEEP BABY (better than BotW)
R.i.p. the book you would have bought instead of Pokemon Violet :(

Great metaphors, favorites are Missingno = Splatoon, homophobic dog, smiley Roomba, and chessboard flip.

For nier you need to play all 5 endings. They’re not even really different endings. The different play throughs are all very different
Yaaay Triangle Strategy getting the love it deservs. Definetly my favorite game from last year. Finished it 4 times, running hard difficulty deathless the last playthrough.

Persona 5 Strikers is actually really different from every other warriors game you’ll probably like it a lot
Spaceman, please play Metroid Dread. I wish I hadn't waited on it.
17:57 the fact that I don’t know and can’t tell if these are actual games or not says a lot about Square Enix

You know that feeling when you search RUclips and just find a channel where the humour is just the perfect for you?
Found it. Subscribed
You did not finish Automata in the slightest. You still have a pretty big chunk of the story to actually go through.
The best way to think of Niers story is that it's separated into 3 acts, acts 1 and 2 being the same story told from different perspectives while act 3 being a continuation of the story from acts 1 and 2. Same with the endings, A and B are the ends of acts 1 and 2 while C-E are the endings of Act 3, with the ending in act 3 being down to a choice you make within the final hour of the game.
@Captain Astronaut it's been 85 years where's the part 3 of the Xenoblade 2 video.
Finally joining the 4 strings club I see.
Ok I really wish I watched this when he actually uploaded it because he mentioned the name CrisTales
Best RUclipsr, looking forward to the experimental videos!!!
Very upset you did not mention how sexy the p5r ui is
girlie oh no, you fell for the classic nier automata trap, there's still 2/3 of the game to go 😭
If you thought that Xenoblade 3 didn't require strategy then you most likely played it on Normal mode.
It is a very different experience on Hard (until you unlock lucky 7)
"10/10, hate this game" is exactly how I describe persona 5. It's like a perfect 8/10 that presents itself like it thinks it's an 11
"10/10 f*ck this game" has gotta be the best, most accurate review of p5 I've seen
Im surprised how hard you grilled on splatoon 3 😭
I love how brutally honest Astro was, not pretending to like games unconditionally to appease people. I'm also glad I wasn't the only one late to the persona 5 bandwagon due to not having a ps4, the game is SO good.
"... plays like a remaster from ten years ago..." He does not know
Say no more is a certified cinematic masterpiece, but I will say it's more like watching a movie than playing a game
i dont understand why people are saying the chocolate splatfest was rigged, i finally win 1 splatfest, and people start saying we cheated, bruhhh
Okay as someone who dislikes the warriors games though P5S is actually really refreshing and if you like the characters in 5 has one of the best new addition party members. Also it fleshes out some of the main characters that really needed it.
Great video as always!

So glad you played triangle strategy, was one of my favorite games of the year
Dear Mr. Spaceman,

13 Sentinels barely made it under Triangle Strategy for my game of the year, it’s truly one of the coolest ways I’ve seen a story be framed in a video game. And the soundtrack??? 🔥🔥🔥
Then again I clocked in 80 hours into Pokémon Violet so don’t listen to me! 🤖
(Also Persona 5 Strikers is actually pretty good)
13 sentinels is INSANE. One of the few times I’ve actually taken notes playing a game, often to write down questions or theories, and literally everything I questioned was eventually explained in the most insane way possible. One of the best sci fi stories ever, full stop
Oof, trying to pick a favorite for last year was rough. Live A Live Remake is the one I'm picking because it is such a unique RPG that is absolutely gorgeous.
Cannot begin to describe how much I agree with “10/10 fuck this game” for P5. Amazing game, wish the stupid stuff wasn’t in it
Please finish Nier Automata fam plz I’m begging you do not leave that unfinished 😭
The loud thud in the background making me laugh is the epitome of my broken stupid humor
mr space man is very correct when he said haru is boring because if they gave her more then a frame of screentime she wouldve been fucking good but nooooo we cant have good things
the music slaps though so it evens out pretty well
Three Hopes was my most disappointing game of the year
The gameplay was decent, i enjoyed it
Tho there should’ve been a goddamn Garreg Mach map
The story was just so AWFUL!!
Tho the Voice Actors put in 1000%!!
R.I.P Billy Kametz
And it hurts three houses in many aspects
Not to mention how wasted Byleth was
Also Shez was uninteresting
Especially compared to Byleth
I don't know if you've played it yet but Outer Wilds is really good. It's an open world(s) space exploration game. If you do decide to play it I recommend knowing as little as possible about it as your progress is solely dependent on your knowledge.
Definitely replay Automata, and then play it again. It’s different each time, and the 3rd play through is essentially a completely new game.
hey man, new viewer and I gotta say I absolutely adore your stuff, keep it up and keep makin me laugh
On the Three Hopes debate, (firstly, based for using Constance and Jeritza. Mercedes crying in the corner for not bringing her along) you should definitely try a harder difficulty like hard or maddening, there you can actually feel the difference all the cool abilities make, and it asks for lots more strategizing from the player. Same for Xenoblade too, it sounds like you played it on easy mode. It’s by far the deepest combat in the series
Maddening is still pretty brainless most of the time. Or you are just massively underpowered.
You sounded like FG3000 in that Splatoon gun-shootin' rant lol
I urge you to finish Nier Automata, nothing can match up to the true ending of that game.
How did it take me this long to find your channel, its clearly the best channel on RUclips
PLEASE PLAY PERSONA 3 YOU WILL (probably) LOVE IT
i sincerely hope someday he beats Automata, absolutely a fucking masterpiece, (and for the love of god don't get tricked into thinking it requires 4 playthroughs or something preposterous, it's 1 playthrough where u briefly retread ground with a new perspective before it REALLY kicks off)
yay!! love your videos, i also love persona 5!
Man hit us with not 1 but 2 Home Improvement grunts.
TFW Splatoon 3 adds the 500th splattershot variant. While the other weapons types suffer.
The song cut out before the line finished at the end of the video, so now I have to go listen to the whole Persona 5 Royal soundtrack. How could you do this to me.
"These characters have nothing interesting to say"
Ok that is so completely wrong
Persona isn't anime inception, inception is hollywood persona...well it's actually hollywood Paprika, but most people didn't hear about that movie.
There's a couple games in the "haven't played yet" that I personally enjoyed. I'd recommend Crosscode and LiveALive if I had to narrow down the choices. Thanks for the video.
Captured my thoughts on Persona to a "T".
ngl, I actually really liked Pokemon Violet. For how rushed it is, open world works out well for the gameplay, and it wraps up with some of the best writing in the series since B/W.
cheesecake factory let's gooooooo
If we Ring Fit every day then we can all get Cheesecake Factory as much as we want
17:57 should’ve added brain training in that list
"they how they say it in the movie" yeah but Brock and the narrator and so does the commercial person all say it different.
Oh man I cannot wait until you play Disco Elysium. Please make a video about it. It has the best writing I've seen in any video game. Obra Dinn is also one of my all time favorite games so I hope you talk about that one too. If you enjoy those two games I'd also recommend giving Pentiment a try.
My favourite game from 2022 is sonic frontiers, amazing sound track and the open world to explore was very enjoyable, my second favourite was legends arceus because it’s a fresh new take on Pokémon and had very engaging gameplay, 2022 was a great year for me
Also enjoyed Pokémon violet despite its flaws
Cap, you NEEED to play crosscode, literally such a banger of a game, even if you don’t care for the story the gameplay is *mwah* magnificent
Persona 4 Golden on switch is amazing, however I'd suggest waiting to get 3P, and getting it on PC because we already know it's gonna be a "fans fixed the game with mods" kinda game
Ok I finished the video !!! No February is never too late for a 2022 video 🙏
I played royal a few years ago on my sister's ps5 when she basically forced me into it one summer lol .... no good goro was my favorite part what a punk. I wouldn't quite call it a favorite game but I did enjoy it. Still prefer devil survivor, now that's a game 🙏
My favorite this year was 1000% kirby but I also started professor layton and that ruined my life /pos also 3 hopes which was sooooo fun. Linhardt and Shez's A support, instant 5/5 stars.
Really fun video !! Your opinions don't exactly align with mine but I respect your takes and I like hearing your perspective
if you want an HD pixel art chrono trigger inspired game, check out the sea of stars demo!! the demo's on the switch already and the full game will be released later this year!
Does he know about Inkopolis and Side Order…?
Anybody who hasn’t beat persona 5 royal… skip the last part of the video, it has some spoilers in the footage
Am playing the game now, but didnt see any spoilers
But Mr Spaceman. You stopped playing Nier Automata after what is essentially a prologue. Please keep playing it to completion.
I also find warriors games really repetitive
But p5 Strikers let's you use personas in it and that actually makes the gameplay a bit more interesting
I'd recommend at least giving the beginning of the game a shot and see how you feel about it ^^
The writing's also super great too
CrossCode is incredible. Have fun!
One more for the bullshit boss fight in persona 5, turning the difficulty down because you've realised you're under-statted for the fight ACTUALLY MAKES THE GAME HARDER. Turning it to Merciless makes it easier!
The Okumura boss fight was the only time I failed a boss multiple times and had to go back a day to redo my resources and characters to be able to complete the fight
Because you realize you need to have dark magic, which only for Haru ain’t enough.
no way u missed the second half of nier automata
