7. Persona 4: The Golden

Good man.

 

[Killing_Joke]

I feel like a dipshit not playing Journey yet. Will get day 1 once PS4 version is announced.

 

[Mifune]

He obviously didn't play many games if that's what his top ten GoTG...

Jesus, no SMG, Xenoblade, State of Decay, Motorstorm Apocalypse (even with the annoying rubber banding), Crackdown, Yakuza 4...I could go on, but I'd be here all day.

This was on the Playstation Podcast so naturally it was all Playstation games.

 

[Iacobellis]

Call of Duty 4 getting the proper love it deserves.

 

[shinobi602]

all PS games, WHAT A COINCIDENCE

GTAV, COD4, and Dark Souls are multiplat.

 

[stuminus3]

Almost as genuine as Fork Parker.

 

[canedaddy]

Great list.

 

[MDSLKTR]

Love yosp but this list is awful lol

lol indeed (lol)

 

[astrogamer]

So Vita dead confirmed?

Spoiler

Otherwise he has a good list

 

[flyinpiranha]

Wow, so many other games out there ... But if he doesn't play a lot and mainly Sony games at that, I can understand the choices.

 

[darkside31337]

Considering he's only picking games you can play on the PS3 that's a really great list. I love that he put Journey first. And while I enjoy Sound Shapes but don't love it... I LOVE that he put it so high on his list. Thet guy is adorable, you have to admit that.

There are some Vita games on the list.

I dig the list although I wouldn't put the Souls games on there.

(never played em)

 

[Zaventem]

Demon’s Souls/Dark Souls fuck yes.

 

[Jobbs]

Didn't even play half of those. GTA V should be higher it's REALLY good. Uncharted 2 deserves kudos for having one of the best stories I ever saw in a video game.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion. I think his picks are pretty solid, and GTAV isn't even in my top ten. I was, yet again, suckered into buying a GTA game during the hype, and I fucking hated it. So.. yeah. Maybe I didn't play it and my opinion is wrong, too?

Huh...

 

[anexanhume]

So is this the time where Yoshida got emotional at the NY event?

 

[7threst]

Folklore isn't on the list

http://www.edge-online.com/news/yoshida-thought-demons-souls-was-unbelievably-bad/

Huh...

He thought it was bad since the version he played didn't resemble the final game, the article explains that.

 

[SykoTech]

No Valkyria Chronicles or Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time?

Guess I'll have to stop following him then.

Spoiler

Props for Persona and LBP though.

 

[The Living Tribunal]

Awful list.

 

[Cragvis]

No Red Dead? Mass Effect 2? Bioshock? Galaxy? Portal?

To be honest, This last generation went on soo long, there are way more than a top 10. You would need at least a top 20, with all of them being amazing games.

 

[H_Prestige]

Yup we are getting soooo Demon's Souls 2.

That's what I took out of it

 

[Charles Alan Ratliff]

Great list!

 

[Arcayne]

Seems like a solid list, even if its all ps games. whaddya expect from a sony official?

Spoiler

I really only care abt Demon/Dark Souls, lol

 

[Ooccoo]

Sony fanboy but that's not a surprise

 

[Miles Quaritch]

This was on the Playstation Podcast so naturally it was all Playstation games.

MS:A and Yakuza 4 are PS only titles. They deserve billing over titles like Uncharted 2, GTA5 and Sound Shapes.

Hell, as much as I liked MW, not sure it would see a spot in my top ten of the generation. Top twenty? Maybe...

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Wow that's a great list. Journey is first for me too.

 

[The Lamp]

Love yosp but this list is awful lol

Wrong.

And of course he's not going to list non-Playstation games...

 

[Inversive]

Love yosp but this list is awful lol

You mean your taste is awful.

 

[Acquiescence]

That's a pretty damn good list. Half of those would be in my top 10 as well (TLoU, Journey, GTAV, CoD4, LBP, Uncharted

Spoiler

3

). Never understood the adoration for Sound Shapes though. A decent-to-good game, but nothing gen defining.

He gets choked up real bad when talking about Journey in the podcast bless him.

 

[TheBioLover]

Good list. And who cares if it's mostly Sony games? They've done some great games this gen.

Edit: Or should I say last gen, heh.

 

[IRQ]

Most of them are boring.

Where is MGS4? GOW?

 

[nib95]

Pretty solid list.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

http://www.edge-online.com/news/yoshida-thought-demons-souls-was-unbelievably-bad/

Huh...

"For my personal experience with Demon's Souls, when it was close to final I spent close to two hours playing it, and after two hours I was still standing at the beginning of the game.

"I said, 'This is crap. This is an unbelievably bad game.' So I put it aside."

Maybe he gave it a second chance and fell in love?

 

[GillianSeed79]

I should really give Dark Souls a try. I tried my damndest to get into Demon Souls and I think I still have it, but I just could never get over that proverbial "hump" so to speak. I beat a few levels and a boss or two, but I could never get past guys like Flamelurker.

I'm hoping Dark Souls goes on sale again on Steam during the holiday sale so I can try it out.

 

[Fushichou187]

Should have said "top 10 PlayStation games".

This needs be in the title. It's a Playstation podcast interviewing a Sony exec. They're talking about the their picks for best games of this generation for those platforms (PS3/Vita).

 

[shadowsdarknes]

No Red Dead? Mass Effect 2? Bioshock? Galaxy? Portal?

Mass Effect 2 was pretty average.

 

[Hitokiri03]

[Coxy]

No Tokyo Jungle or Valkyria? I know he likes those games a lot

 

[Mifune]

MS:A and Yakuza 4 are PS only titles. They deserve billing over titles like Uncharted 2, GTA5 and Sound Shapes.

Hell, as much as I liked MW, not sure it would see a spot in my top ten of the generation. Top twenty? Maybe...

Well it's his list not yours.

You say "billing" like it's not just one dude's personal favorites.

 

[7threst]

How come people in this thread claim this is a PS-only list? Last time I checked some of these games are multiplatform titles...

 

[Oni3298]

Should have said "top 10 PlayStation games".

Sony fanboy but that's not a surprise

Its a top ten list of games on PS3 guys... that was made clear.

Overall great blogcast, hearing Shu talk about the games and get emotional about Journey was great.

 

[DangerMouse]

No Folklore.

no wonder why he rejected the sequel then

Would have loved a sequel too.

 

[Amir0x]

Yoshida loves Dark Souls and Demon Souls

best representative of any game company confirmed

 

[Kosma]

No Mario Galaxy?!

I havent even played that.

 

[StoopKid]

You can skip to around the 1:29:00 mark. He gets pretty emotional when talking about Journey.

1. 
   [*]Journey
2. Demon’s Souls/Dark Souls (tie for #2 and #3)
3. Demon’s Souls/Dark Souls (tie for #2 and #3)
   [*] The Last of Us

4. Sound Shapes (Favorite PS Vita game)
5. Persona 4: The Golden
6. LittleBigPlanet
7. Grand Theft Auto V
   [*] Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

I agree with all of these.

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Strange, I got something stuck in my eye when he was talking about Journey at the end :')

 

[Danielsan]

Excellent top 5. Love the Journey and Souls love.

 

[daman824]

little big planet above gta5? haha

 

[Jeb]

Persona 4,Dark Souls and Demon Souls...
You have my respect, Yoshida.

 

[SpokkX]

Yup we are getting soooo Demon's Souls 2.

It would be the best move Sony could do imo... Heres hoping

 

[KungFucius]

Should have said "top 10 PlayStation games".

Yes. Makes sense that he would do that, but it sounds pretty lame. If you recognize the competition's strength as well as your own it is better for business, but to state so openly is career suicide.
