I prefer infinite in almost every way except for the lack of graphical polish. Maybe it’s because I grew up in MCU era Marvel, the first real exposure I had to them at all was The Avengers and by that time I was already a bigger Justice League fan thanks to Cartoon Network, anyway.... Infinite just has more of the characters I know and recognize as Marvel icons. Sure. 3 had some beef characters, but no Ultron? No Thanos? No Black Panther or Captain Marvel? Hawkeye without Black Widow? It just felt.... lacking.... in a way that Infinite didn’t. Now granted, I recognize that leaving out the X-Men and Fantastic Four Completely was a bad move, even if I think the fandom overreacted a smidge, but I look back at Marvel 2 and all the characters they want back and just get baffled why they want the roster to be so overloaded with X-Men to the point that it’s basically an X-Men game with a few Marvel guests. Like, sure, throw in a few more X-Men. But try to keep it under like... 6-7 total. And give us plenty of exciting characters from other areas of marvel like Blade, Punisher, Inhumans, Namor, Wonder Man, Daredevil, The Runaways, some Spider-Man villains beyond Venom, some other villains from other characters rogues galleries like Mandarin, Leader, Red Skull, and Loki. So much potential. Anyway I got sidetracked.

I liked Infinite’s Marvel side better than three. I didn’t think there were enough characters total, but I had no problem with anyone who was there (except Gamora and Bucky). The Capcom side honestly had more problems imo as there was so little variety in the franchises repped and so few interesting newcomers compared to Marvel.

I also like the gameplay better. I prefer one button free form tagging over the weird system with assists from games like 3 and DBFZ that I still can’t figure out. I liked that they at least tried to have a story mode, and it probably would have been good if they got someone more professional to write it and gave them more time (please have the guy that wrote Spider-Man PS4 write the next MvC story). I just... like Infinite better.

You know, I actually didn't see many Persona fans who complain about newcomers. SMT fans tend to be more conservative about them.

Though P4 is better and they should say it

SMT fans are a different breed altogether. Always complain about Persona being the more popular franchise, which isn't even Atlus's fault. It's like a DQ-FF situation with those two franchises, one just simply did better despite the other being historical.

Well, yes, but keep in mind that DQ fans don't usually carry resentment torwards FF.

I've seen a little to many SMT fans carry resentment torwards Persona.

The analogy is that one franchise is more popular, despite the other being more historical.

I wonder if Smash Ultimate is eligible for nominations, given it was released in December, meaning it was too late for last year.

according to keighley, yes it is
There was a problem fetching the tweet
pretty much a shoo-in for best fighting game, and I'd say it's also got a pretty decent shot for a GOTY nomination

I thought Persona 5 was the best selling and most popular game in the franchise? A year ago people were telling me that Joker would be an evergreen pick that people would always remember to to the franchise’s legacy.

That's true.

Persona fanbase almost unanimously agrees that Persona 5 is the apex of the series from a gameplay perspective and Joker is a great and very unique protagonist.

Story-wise, however, there are a lot of fans think it's among the weakest in series.

yes, Persona 5 was good and fun and the characters were good too

But Persona 4 story and characters were amazing plus the Social links were better

I had a dream that on social media sites you can like someone for liking your post and they can like your like back.

Please never let that happen.

Eh, Social Link part is arguable. I found non-playable Confidants more memorable and interesting overall compared to P4.

Agreed that your party wasn't developed as well as they could.

anyways, here are my final predictions for The Game Awards GOTY nominations

-Resident Evil 2 Remake
-Death Stranding (Controversial, yes, but Keighley and Kojima are pretty much lovers at this point. I'd be shocked if this wasn't nominated)
-Super Smash Bros Ultimate
-Fire Emblem: Three Houses
-Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

my only problem with these predictions, is the lack of any western games whatsoever. There's usually one present, but I couldn't really think of any major ones this year. I guess you can say Japan really stepped up their game.

I love Kanji and Yosukes Socials so much, and Nanako and Dojimas, theirs was amazing. Naotos was good too. not so sure about Chie and Yukikos since I was more invested in the other characters

I honestly only like Yusukes social link in p5

Too bad that DQXI S can’t get nominated due to it being some sort of deluxe edition.

But in other stuff, here’s Jackie Chan in a DQ commercial:

Crash Team Racing? I mean, you have the RE2 remake on there.....

Yeah. You’re right. Nothing really standout this year. I’d be surprised if Ultimate didn’t win.

With Leon defeated, I have played the majority of the brand new Pokemon. I think I'm gonna post my thoughts on every one later.

Outer Worlds?

Also I highly disagree with remakes being nominated.

I already gave you my stand on that...

if it was able to get nominated and downright win at the Golden Joystick Awards, I'd say it's more than eligible here.

Wouldn’t they have nominated the Crash remakes in 2017 if they even took remakes into consideration? That was extremely successful, so they could’ve easily nominated it.

RE2 is a "Remake" in that it takes the same story beats and setting from the original but is also so different that it's practically not even the same game.

Sure, maybe the gameplay is tweaked. But like you said, it still takes story beats from the original.

Therefore, it is not 100% a original game. And I just dont think that should be nominated for GOTY.

I still want Persona 5 on Switch. I maintain that non-action RPGs work best on handhelds so you can do grind seshes on the bus, train, or toilet and can pick it up whenever you have free time. Setting aside time to play a game that can be so monotonous seams foolish to me.

Yeah. It's why I like Dragon Quest on androids. They're very chill when you're waiting in line for food or just taking a break from studying.

I agree with most of this, don't quite see Three Houses getting the nomination though.

You gotta remember that 2017 was an absolutely jam packed year with likes of BoTW, Persona 5, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Super Mario Odyssey

I can see why it wasn't nominated with that sort of competition
