Persona 5. No doubt. A classic.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
That Kotaku UK Persona 5 thread is triggering me something fierce right now.

I haven't played with my Switch very much but when I played off the TV, I went full detached. The joycon grip is still in its little foam bag, actually. I keep meaning to try it out just to see if it's better, but I don't have any particular issues with the detached format.

What a year and it's not even over yet, still that fall rush to come. GotY has to be Persona 5 and Nier Automata. I just cannot pick one over the other and I don't think anything can dethrone them this year except maybe South Park.
1.Persona 5
1.Nier Automata
2.Nioh
3.Yakuza 0
4.Horizon
5.Gravity Rush 2 (a bit disappointing, I'd maybe put The Surge here. Not sure.)
BOTW is just something else. I don't know, it goes in that greatest of all time for me with Persona 4G, Mario 64 as a couple of examples. Persona 5 could have done that but I didn't click with all the characters like I did P4G.
This is all one very high (Alaskan Thunder Fuck) dude's opinions though and so many games are still coming out.
Games of the year for me are Persona 5 and Breath of the Wild without contest.
We're just in the phase where people need to get it all out about how they hate x acclaimed game because *poorly described reasons*. The article lacked any sort of depth beyond the article being like "lol I didn't like the story, 5/10". A large part of this is people judging how much they liked Persona 5 against their rose-coloured memories of their mind being blown by P3/4 instead of judging it based on its own merits.

Horizon: Zero Dawn is still my GOTY, but Breath of the Wild is really close. I still have a ton left to do in the game, so there's a good chance that it will come through and take the top spot by the end of the year. Well, before October when some of my most anticipated titles of the year start dropping.
I haven't played Persona 5 yet. Need to find a cheap PS3 controller somewhere.

Eh, since everyone else is doing it:
1. Yakuza 0
2 (undecided). Prey
2 (undecided). Persona 5
3. Gravity Rush 2
Still need to finish (or really restart) Horizon, playing through Nier now, have Zelda in the backlog. I think the first two could make the list, Zelda I don't know because I really have no idea what to expect and have no real opinion of the franchise itself.

My top 5 so far this year. That's the strongest top 3 for me in a while. All three of them would have a shot at being my GOTY any other year I bet.
1) zelda
2) prey
3) re7
4) what remains of edith finch
5) blackwood crossing
The only game I haven't played that I want to play is Horizon Zero Dawn excluding unreleased games.

upgrading your console hdd is so great
i was getting tired of my 500gb ps4 and how I had to delete and reinstall games every single time I wanted to plqay/replay any of them
and now I just literally installed every single game I own and STILL have lots ofspace left with a 2tb hard drive
life is good

I ended up buying one online. I'm driving over to Buffalo next weekend to pick it up in store. I reached out to TCL and I don't think they're planning on selling these in Canada.
Just wait 5-6yrs for what's in store for next gen Zelda with PS4 capable graphic!
1. Horizon: Zero Dawn
2. N. Sane Trilogy
3. Gravity Rush 2
4. Everything
5. Little Nightmares
Don't care about Zelda, haven't touched my copy of Persona yet, Nier didn't click with me, Yakuza was really good, not great.
Still got heavy hitters releasing for me, it's a Good Year.

It wasn't meant as a jab, I was just truly astonished, from a technical standpoint, the amount of detail in the world and all that. I still prefer games with more simplistic visuals over the hyper realistic ones, I think Horizon looks way too busy to my eyes when playing. I keep getting distracted by every little thing to the point where its a chore to play through. Its hard to identify things quickly when everything is so rich with detail, especially in motion at 30fps.
Uncharted 4 managed to do great graphics well, because due to the art style it didnt feel busy to look at. A more simplistic approach to design direction than Horizon.

Horizon I don't own, but I suspect it'll make top five by year's end. Splatoon 2 is likely to jump into the lead upon release. I've been playing a lot of Overwatch and FFXIV (no Stormblood yet), so my selection of games is limited to a lot of Nintendo stuff mostly.

Mostly doing backlog so far this year. The little I have played I'd rank:
1) Yakuza 0
2) Breath of the Wild
3) The Sexy Brutale
4) Get Even
All enjoyable games. Everything else I've played is either backlog or re-releases such as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Cave Story+ and Phantom Dust HD.

I see it on everything but Nintendo games. Looks like they removed it from splatoon
Yeah i see that!
I also pre-ordered Destiny, had a 5$ left over stuff from a promotion so i get it 20$ off with prime and that. Says to check two day shipping, but i dont have the option. Only standard, express and priority.
I've odered Nioh & horizon off amazon before, got them a day early, but this time it just I dont have the option for the 2 day shipping. Tracking even says it will ship on the 11th...3 days after release.
Confused
edit: NVM 2 day shipping only done if its shipped to my place. Post Canada is literally right next to my house, so i had it deliver there for security...but I guess to get a game a day early / release. Ill use my adress.

For people who bought that A40 headset, it looks like it doesn't come with the Mixamp, as expected.
There are already 1* reviews .lol

That thread and the latest one are fucking stupid.
We get it, some people don't like the game but then people asking "where did the praise come from?" is just stupid lol
But that's like 90% of the reason anyone would buy them. Oh boy lol.

It went on sale on psn last month for around $65, I think? I told myself that was too much at the time, then I bought it last week at full price because I couldn't wait anymore. It's so good thus far and worth full price but I still wish I could have saved on it out of principle. I think all my new game purchases have been sub 50 dollars.

Wait, so you don't really like Horizon? Too bad, that game is amazing. So for the thing you have called an "exclusives box" you haven't enjoyed any exclusives in what is considered one of the strongest starts to a year ever. Sounds like you aren't getting your money's worth/PS4 isn't for you?

1. Nier Automata
2. Persona 5
3. Resident Evil 7
Yakuza 0 will probably take number 1 or 2 spot once I finish it.
Didn't really like Horizon either. Nioh was OK.

It was $69.99 at Best Buy (and probably Amazon?) on June 29th. Only one I know of.
fuck
ah well it probably won't go on sale anytime soon then. gonna go to BB and pick up a copy later

How was Get Even?
The only Switch games i've seen go on sale/deals (thus far, I could be remembering wrong) were due to glitches or E3, aside from all of two eShop deals, neither of which were Disgaea 5.

It doesn't feel right for me to be doing a GOTY list when there's still plenty more games to come and I have tons of games from the first half I'd love to go back to.
That said, it's BOTW. Odyssey and Splatoon 2 are the only things I can remotely see coming close.
Would be nice if we got a GOTY version of Horizon when Frozen Wilds comes out. They did that for Bloodborne (in PAL anyway) and that'd be the perfect chance for me to get it. My local library has a copy so I've put a hold on that and I'm looking forward to playing it.
