Who asked?

​@@megastarwarsrocks99I asked

That’s adorable!

And here I thought they actually cared about Daisy as a character for a second.

​@@Jack_Saint_Archive😂 that was too good.

That's exactly what everyone wants from a video game. A game with no DLC, Subscriptions, a completed game, no pay to win, nothing remotely to that. It should come as a game all others should look up to, to see what can be accomplished when you don't add subscriptions, battle passes, pay to win, and all the other bullshit.

Honestly would be willing to pay more to encourage games like it

Well dlc is fine as long as it's an expansion and not just carved out base content.

@@darthsnarfThe Octo EXPANSION:

As it should be!

Hi-Fi Rush is peak, hoping for a sequel or dlc eventually

@@siIver10 Same. 12 hours of gameplay just isn’t enough for me

Hopefully one day a sequal if it gets ported to switch because i dont think they made profit back

I just commented that, too, but I’m guessing he didn’t have a means to play it, like with Pizza Tower.

@@siIver10 Aim higher, I want a full animated series on Netflix or Amazon.

You can say that again.

Agreed

@@watershipup7101 This was definitely one or the best years for games, especially for Nintendo. Tears of the Kingdom, Pikmin 4, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, all some of the best titles they've put out in recent years. And I think 2024 will be at least just as good, especially if they release their new console this year.

​@@watershipup7101that again

WarioWare was good too. Ignore what Schaff said!

but we didn’t even get a new rhythm heaven 😔

I think 2022 was wilder imo

​@@yololthepikminenjoyer😔

Same quality as well

@@TheBigGlober68There's not a pipe bomb in your mail at all

@@TheBigGlober68 It's unfortunate that one of them doesn't work nearly as well as a livestream game as you would expect from its format, and instead requires everyone to be in the same room to work optimally. I am, of course, talking about Tears of the Kingdom.

Spider Man 2 also

I gotta admit, I didn't like Lae'zel at first, Shadowheart's my waifu forever, but I did warm a lot to her after doing her personal quest. I think I relate to her character drive to find worth in this world made it relatable to me as I also went to something similar as I approached my thirties. After I've made my Paladin of Selune playthrough, I might make another game as a bard, being the Starlord to her Gamora if you know what I mean.

I’m playing in the first act as a Dwarf Paladin, and am making my relationship with Lae’zel more like a buddycop dynamic. We just work off each other very well.

Superstars was kinda mid for the most part.

*chicken little

Honestly ya. Love the Lego movie it’s super funny.

He should do both of them

All the theatrical LEGO Movies

​@@ferminmarkpousada1455yea Lego Ninjago was great

i JUST got a copy of this game, and as soon as i come home, this video comes out

I grew up on the DS version of New super so I was stoked to play it, played through it and it was amazing!

Best 2D game imo, only super Mario world compares

@@b1gturtleFair, though IMO I enjoyed SMB3 way more the World. I just liked how much fast-paced and rewarding it was to blaze through the levels. World felt a lot slower in comparison, and I personally wasn’t happy that they took away so many of the power ups from SMB3

and the first in nearly 20 years (holy shit) to not be a "New" title

I love pepperoni pizza Also for me a pretty okay year with of course the games Schafrillas mentioned and also with really bad games like Kong, The Day Before, Redfall, Gollum, Forspoken.

⁠​⁠​⁠@@AisarShamsul how does the release of some awful games no one was excited for in the first place have ANY EFFECT AT ALL on how good a year was for gaming??? literally all that matters is how much good/great new stuff there was to enjoy…

I thought engage would be on the 10th spot. Well, 11 isn’t bad I guess.

THANK YOU!

You forgot about Everybody 1-2 Switch

@@supermario6387 obviously it’s #0

Even though pikmin 3 deluxe is a better game in my opinion, I thought pikmin 4 was a brilliant game. Unfortunately no mission mode and worse graphics mean 3 is better, but 4 blows any other game I played from 2023 out of the water

@@Zach90888 worse graphics? youre kidding right? pikmin 4 is easily one of the best looking games on switch

Pikmin 4 is too cartoony looking to beat out 3 in graphics for me.

@@B0ssguyit is, but imo PIKMIN 3 deluxe looks a lot better. Idk I guess I prefer the less cartoony artstyle

@@Mexikuma Hot take: But the more “less cartoony” artstyle makes 3 look ugly in my opinion.

Mario Pinball Land on the GBA

@@UltimateDespairado GBA

@@Hamantha my bad I thought it was on the DS because the quality of it looks like a DS game

That kinda paints an unflattering picture of your life.

Didn’t they also release within an hour of each other?

dunkey

and both haves pikmin 4 as their number 1

@@dammnpeople3131 omg that’s true. Come to think of it… we’ve never seen dunkey and Schaff in the same room🤔

Not like he's been doing that since 2020 or anything...

He's been doing it for years now

He had been for 4 years now

Does he know?

It’s not like he did a ranking on the entire Mario Kart race tracks or anything

You mean all other 9 places?

ARMORED CORE MENTIONNED RAAAAAAAAAAH

Was nice to see Fromsoft make a non Souls games again

Star Wars jedi series is just straight up carrying Star Wars next to Andor.

​@@beck2752for real, if only they got the compatibility settings right

I just randomly glanced at my dad browsing games for the ps5 and saw 10 seconds of Armored Core 6 gameplay. I was immediately hooked and bought it as soon as it came out a few weeks later. I cannot love it enough. S ranking all the missions was difficult but dang it was absolutely the best game of 2023 in my opinion.

I hadn't played video games for about 7 to 10 yrs just due to life & coming back to it in 2023 felt like a fever dream. The fact that I played at about 10 games in a row that simply blew my mind, most of them being new last year, when in the past I had to play at least 10 games in btwn each amazing game was🎉🎉 & something that will likely never happen again.

I know right. The music was peak and it was a blast racking up combos

Or Zelda's or Sea of Stars'

Yeah no I called it

I’m guessing you haven’t played BG3 then

@@gentlyweepz7711 nope. Honestly don’t have much interest, not the type of game I play. Wasn’t aware of how big it is until near the game awards where I looked into it.

​@@gentlyweepz7711I'm tired of people shaming others for not liking BG3

@@chunkymonkey7983 it’s not about shame. Just a general question/observation that they haven’t played BG3

@@chunkymonkey7983 where did he shame anyone?? got a bone to pick or something? lol

Same. Tears of the Kingdom is my GOTY, it really surpassed my expectations. I was afraid that it would be too similar to Breath of the Wild, but turns out it added enough new content to feel fresh again despite using the same world. That has greatly surprised me. In addition, it was nice to see what locations have changed and have all those Breath of the Wild flashbacks come to my mind while I played the sequel. I want to get Pikmin 4 in the future, but I don't know if I'll get Mario Wonder or the Super Mario RPG remake. Mario Wonder, while I'm sure that it is a great game, I've heard that it is pretty short. A friend of mine got Mario Wonder and finished it in 3 days lol. So I don't know if the amount of hours I could potentially get from the game is worth the full 60 dollars price. As for the Mario RPG remake, I've watched some videos about it and it looks cool, but as far as I know, they've lowered its difficulty a lot compared to the original, and they've made it a pretty easy game. That makes me doubt if the remake is worth or I would have a better time playing the original.

@@Fiucha8893 News flash: All 2D Mario games are short. Also, the SMRPG remake is easier, but it’s not THAT much easier to the point that it makes the original look that much more challenging in comparison.

As someone who knows way too much about Fire Emblem, I want the exact same thing

@@sammulhall haha perfect then

Honestly while the story of Fates is terrible, the gameplay is actually pretty good and nice evolution of Awakening’s gameplay. But I will say in terms of the plot it is let down by what appears to be severe cuts to the game, the exclusion of vital plot information to be seen in paid DLC, and there is a scene where a character pulls out a one time use magic crystal ball with all the answers to give some exposition on the game. Still better than FE Engage. At least I remembered it existed. And at least the plot was an interesting ride.

Fates is actualy a great game. You just need to skip the whole story, since gameplay is excellent (only in conquest tho).

@@sammulhall I am a fan of Fire Emblem… not to the point where I know everything, but still a fan

I absolutely loved HI-FI RUSH and so far it’s been my game of the decade as I’m a big DMC and Rhythm game fan so it just clicked in the perfect way for me.

Feel like it kinda flew under many’s radar. Schaff didn’t play it, Dunkey didn’t even seem to play it (he said he’d rather play Spiderman 2 than all the games Xbox put out last year), but it is absolutely worth your time and money.

@@a17yearoldonyoutubeluigi I mean, it was shadow-dropped, and I haven’t seen any ads for it, so that’s probably why. But still, whatever attention it has now, it absolutely deserves it and more!

@@michaelnelson1127 I played it cause word of mouth.

@@a17yearoldonyoutubeluigiExactly. Like if you grew up with PS2 Era video games, Hi Fi Rush is right up your alley. With a wonderful artstyle, satisfying combat, a GOD-TIER soundtrack, and endearing characters. Its actually hilarious how it dropped the same day as Pizza Tower too

Fr

Golem is gol-peak

It truly is a video game.

Eh, it's alright. I sorta gave up with Jedi Fallen Order a while ago.

@@fredreindljr1996 Survivor is the sequel to Fallen Order. And it is MUCH better than alright. It's my number one game of the year

@@officialmonarchmusic I knew Survivor was the sequel. And if you loved Survivor, then that's great!

Same

A good Star Wars narrative. A rarity at this day and age. I am pissed though. On my first playthrough, I was nearing the end but I couldn’t slice a door with BD and kind of wasted 30 or so hours before not being able to progress the plot any further.

Jedi Survivor deserved a spot on this list at the very least, one of the best video games of the year for sure

Same. I love the Investigation Team, they’re such goobers. Thank you guys for making me a Persona fan, if you were real lol

@@Surafel-Assefa What do you mean, it’s on Switch

I really hoped that Sonic Superstars would be at least comparable to Mania which is one of my favorite games of all time (I've beaten it like 15 times lol), but nope, it's just an okay game, with good gameplay, but very questionable level design and music. At least on the other hand Mario Wonder was better than I expected, and it became one of my favorite 2d platformers ever made alongside Rayman Origins/Legends, and Sonic Mania.

Yeah no not happening

Honestly, FE Engage is my favorite game of the year too

I know people don't like Engage because of the story/lack of character development with the supports, but as someone who found 3H overwhelming -and kinda boring- Engage was way more up my street. Just a solid goofy experience

I would say 9/10 because Gollum came out this year

@@AnAveragePurplePikmin that and the kong game and redfall and the day before. But all four of those. As games don’t come CLOSE to touching the legacy do all the great games that came out this year

It's like people forgot about Octopath 2 right after it came out. It's sad. The game is really good.

Octopath ll is an interesting case for me. I love the game and think it's just better than the first in basically every way but it just didn't have as much of an impact on me as the first. Also doesn't help that last year we got Triangle Strategy which is now one of my top 5 favorite games of all time.

Oh yes! Octopath Traveler II is my favorite game of 2023!! And it’s all thanks to it being a much better sequel than the original!

I mean you can always just go back and watch them in order.

@@affirmingtoe15 yes, but first impressions are also important and can't be redone!

So…. The Clone Wars of the How To Train Your Dragon franchise?

@@UltimateDespairado Oh yeah for sure

What are you on?

I heard reboot camp was a downgrade from the original

Wow! I clearly didn’t know that he is one… (Looks back at Legend of Zelda videos, ranking Mario Kart tracks, and Pikmin analysis videos)
