I'm a falcom fanboy but there's no way Sen 3 is going to be better. 1 and 2 were already a pretty damn big step back. The writing is noticeably worse in general. The only thing it really has is gameplay, and I definitely give gameplay to something like Zelda over it.

Unless we count localization years then it's either 8 or P5, but I don't think we will.

So far it's Persona 5 and Nioh.

Resident Evil 7 was good but that's all it was, good. Alien Isolation came out this gen and is a far superior survival horror game.

I only played the demo for NieR Automata but I fucking hated that demo so much that I doubt I would think anything better of the real game.

Prey doesn't have enough ammo and is too much about smacking things with a wrench. Aside from that there's something off about the game that I just can't put my finger on, I love the sound design and visuals, and from a gameplay standpoint it seems well crafted, there's just something about it that doesn't hold my attention.

Horizon is visually gorgeous and has a neat world, but the combat is sadly way clunkier than I thought it would be.

Zelda was actually good enough to where I beat it, which is much more than I can say for Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword, but Breath of the Wild is still an incredibly flawed experience and for me has absolutely zero replay value, I don't think I'll ever bother playing it again in my lifetime.

>>377757656
Hollow Knight is my personal pick so far, but let's be realistic, a 2D indie game isn't winning any awards

I see nothing wrong with my opinion. For all the shit it gets, all the shit it does right gets written off as unimportant. 40 hr game to platinum, didn't overstay it's welcome, surprisingly good story in the latter half, varied combat (though easy to exploit). From a technical perspective, it's the most impressive game on there. Gotta appreciate the sheer effort that went into it. Unless you didn't play it. You should.

>>377758951
>From a technical perspective, it's the most impressive game on there

Not that guy but I keep hearing this for every Sony exclusive that comes out, specially Uncharted 4, played it a couple of days ago and it wasn't impressive at all, lots of jaggies, shit textures and the 30 fps show a fucking lot. I mean I think The Witcher 3 at max settings looks way more impressive. Not talking about the cutscenes btw.

>>377755391

I guess add Horizon to that list, except you won't see many jaggies or bad textures. The biggest complaint is the facial rigging during dialogue. But it's still miles ahead of 99% of its competitors (I mean not that Andromeda was suited to impress but it's still a competitor). I recommend trying it just to see what most people who played it see.

>>377755391
My personal GOTY is Persona 5, but the one that'll win the most awards will probably be Breath of the Wild.

Honorable mentions to Night in the Woods and Hollow Knight, though

>>377762676
P5, mechanically, is the best SMT game so far, and they should bring over most of the mechanics in it to mainline.

Nioh is fun as hell and is by far the best Dark Souls game, don't know where you're getting this Ninja Gaiden idea from, it's Dark Souls+Onimusha only better than both.

it's a really fun game but it's literally a PS2 title upscaled. if FF XV had a different name it would be celebrated - well at least after the 15 GB patch.

>>377763369
I just felt the combat in Nier wasn't any good, I actually preferred the way the first one played to Automata.

Beyond that the dialogue and story just seemed shitty. Maybe that demo was just an incredibly awful representation of the game but it just turned me off completely.

Persona? Marketing-wise maybe not, playerbase-wise it's still below 1 mil sales. Even Fire Emblem is doing better, and it's still selling lower than even Metroid or Banjo-Kazooie (as much as Ninty likes to pretend otherwise).

And I can guarantee only weebs even know what a Ys is.

Mario Odyssey will definitely be delayed. I'm certain they said it's coming out this year just so they can boast about how many big games they'll have for 2017.

>>377764634
The only reason I think it won't be delayed is because Mario games typically have holiday releases, and that would mean a delay until holidays 2018

>>377758272
>Prey doesn't have enough ammo and is too much about smacking things with a wrench.
Jesus Christ what an idiot.

I finished BotW and P5, and just started Automata. So far BotW is my favorite.

While BotW has some issues like lack of monster variety and short but fun dungeons, it compensates in so many other areas. The world is amazing, the amount of stuff you can do with physics is quite fun and exploring is entertaining.

P5 is a game that I wanted to love as much as I enjoyed playing other SMT games but it just felt underwhelming in many parts. Story-wise, villains after Madarame felt weak and teammates joined pretty late in the game; and gameplay-wise, I felt that dungeon design while an improvement most of the dungeons tended to drag in many parts either by adding annoying puzzles or backtracking. Also confidants break the game.

As for Automata, the combat is ok but is pretty well below other Platinum games combat. Also open world is a bit of a hassle to traverse early in the game. Also not much of a fan of the whole RPG elements such as leveling.

>>377765554
To be fair NG2 barely had and QA since it was rushed but I can see where you're coming from with it not being as memorable as NGB

Nioh is Dark Souls, minus good enemies or levels, but with better player-controlled gameplay

>>377765760
Something about the bullet hell onslaught the bosses posed, the chunkier more visceral feel to combat, the magic system.

Automata's combat just really felt like complete shit, it was like Legend of Korra tier when it comes to Platinum games.

It's going to be BoTW. It's not nearly as good as NieR or Persona 5 but those two don't have mainstream appeal so they don't stand a chance.

>>377765762

Same for me. I've waited years, and held out for those last few months avoiding spoilers like the plague, only for the story to be bland and straightforward.

I loved the style and presentation for the first dozen of hours or two but once the formula of each month settled in, it made me wish just for a straight up plain SMT game, where I can at least control the player rather than thumb through hours of redundant text.

It's weird because the gameplay & presentation are better than ever, but it now it makes the railroading feel even worse than it was P4, even though both games were guilty of it.

Good game in the end, can't wait to see what they'll do with those HD demon models now.

I actually agree with this playing both very recently, at least in Zelda doing parries is hard and you can't just spam the evade button.

If Mementos wasn't so goddamnn boring and a chore of a dungeon, I think I would've enjoyed myself alot more. It would've offered some fun dungeon crawling during the off-days, instead 1/2 days of a palace then a month of VN text.

>>377757184
has there been any news about this at all?

>>377767421
At least in Tarturus, the enemies weren't wildly below the player's level. Tarturus also had mini-bosses found within the dungeon itself (not based of S-links like Mementos), so reaching a checkpoint is at least rewarding with a good boss fight.
It's baffling that the Mementos enemies are usually the weakest enemies from the palace that month.

Considering Mementos is only corridors, and Morgana car has less control than Joker in a palace, it might as well be isometric view at that point

Agreed, I hate mementos. I skipped most of the requests and just run past the enemies. Hearing Futaba say that it almost 50 something floors deep made me want to claw my eyes out

The items are useless and below your level along with the enemies. For some reason they're always a dungeon before you, meaning if you're on the sixth dungeon then Mementos will only have all the enemies from the fifth dungeon there, it's really stupid.

>>377755391
Nier is my goty atm.

>>377767785
Mementos is better than Tartarsauce for the sheer fact you can clear an entire section in 10 minutes by driving past every shadow. The battles in Mementos are definitely a lot easier but battling random mobs is not fun and never has been in a JRPG.

>>377755391
automata was deeply flawed, though still pretty good. I'm hoping ni no kuni 2 will come out this year but somehow I doubt it.

>>377768642
>Mementos is better than Tartarsauce for the sheer fact you can clear an entire section

But why would I want to be there anyway? There's nothing to gain from going there, you just are forced to in order to complete S-links and shit.

No wonder all I want to do is just drive past all these enemies that are 10 levels below me.

>>377768874
No one WANTS to be in mementos. Not even the protagonists like it but it's task that the heroes must do. You're in mementos because of the plot. You don't even have to go that often if you manage your time correctly.

Horizon isn't technically impressive, Zelda is, with all the weather effects and how they affect the gameplay and physics, how the fire works and expands, how electricity flows through metal objects, how the water works with only objects of higher density going under it. The game has tons of impressive mechanics and simulations all working together and interacting with each other that affect gameplay in awesome ways, that's technically impressive, Horizon just looks pretty.

>>377770003
