Ego Trippin': Games Where I Have The Top Review

I realize I haven't properly engaged with the site's community for a while now (there's a reason for that), so I figure it's best to do so with a sorta-kinda lulled list trend. Also gives me an excuse to look back and see how my writing improved in just two years...

VERY much not everything. Either some were just one sentences or are tied to a DLC that would just clog up the list.

I think some people can glean I mainly finish my reviews at like, 12-5 in the morning, and somehow the one that was the most obvious about that lifestyle still had people going "wait... this person's sayin some dope shit......". I'll take what I can get!

The desperate cling to anything worthwhile during the outline and play process was so real I still haven't fully recovered from my burnout. Hopefully it'll happen sooner than later!

I think out of all my reviews, this is the one I'm most surprised by the attention it got. Not in the "I can't believe people liked my garbage!" sense, but in the "I'm glad people enjoyed it but there's WAY better reviews that deserve attention more!" sense.

Why is everyone who argues about whether this game is kino or shit so vitriolic like damn...

OK so I don't really have the top spot, but I held it for a long while, it's still my most liked review, and I'm only three away from getting it back from Sirius. Figured I should include it regardless!
Tomb Raider: Underworld

Sort of emblematic in regards to the Tomb Raider franchise as a whole: magnificent peaks, wearisome lows, all stitched together by groups of people under the clutches of Big Wig Suits. Something something "capitalism bad".

I'm still not entirely sure how high the approval is for the inclusivity angle is, but seeing transfolk on various websites have Zoe as their avi maked me believe it's on the positive end of the line.

Also, I should really play Monster Camp someday...

Check it out guys, if you take a close look, you can pinpoint the exact moment Bioware's future was gonna take a drastic turn for the worst.

I'm still pretty irritated over how this one turned out ngl, even if I only experienced a quarter of it. Hopefully people that hype up AE3 aren't wrong about its kino status....

Unfortunately heard that this game, as well as a few other Tales entries, got delisted on the PS3/Vita stores (which specifically differing amongst the various regions), making it much harder to access the franchise's roots. Bamco respect and uphold the deep-rooted legacy of your highly influential IPs challenge (impossible).

Truthfully I felt this way a few months after finishing RES, but one of the best things about retiring about review scores that I no longer feel obligated to check something out just to get a faux sensational "ding" on my I Experienced Something Bad counter. I understand the importance and doing that and all so I'll never not try something deemed "awful", but I also don't wanna force myself into doing it!

Ngl, I think about this title every now and again. Really gonna hope someday another person takes a swing into at least a quarter of the ideas that's put on display here!

If I had to limit the number of games that will miraculously receive a port for modern platforms, this for sure would make top 5, or at least the overall 10. Another title that's been on my mind ever since finishing it a few years ago!

I should get back into Licensed Gaming, one of the best sorta black box deals you can have in any medium.

Since become one of my poster boys of "too much Game". A lot to like here, don't get me wrong, but I'm not exactly in a rush to revisit it like I am for PoP89 and Another World.

Not too long ago I found a research article going over the Wipeout franchise use of music and its integration of mood and play that was sick, check it out!

It's only here by technicality. I'm assuming that, at some point, IGDB either split or transformed the listing I put my review in as a separate entity that signifies the Dreamcast/PC ports, instead of the original Saturn release. For the top review of that page, and for another good reading in general, that belongs to FallenGrace!

The greatest form of shilling: sharing a super dope map theme. This will also be the last one-sentence log entry I will include for this list.

I'm really just putting this on here to say I've since finished the anime after writing that review and believe everyone should drop what they're doing and watch it. Like, right now. Yomi Gaming is eternal. Osaka is LITERALLY me.

I should really get back to playing 8-bit/16-bit era stuff, for some reason I always gravitate towards 5th-7th gen for retro gaming desires.

The inception for this is so funny. Yea make a sequel to a game that never once called for it without having the involvement of the person that made it possible to begin with. That'll go well!

@Snigglegros Chad Warden's legacy and impact will be immortalized for years to come, so he's got that over me at least

I'm still sometimes baffled as to how my Murder of Sonic review is third, I guess that's just the power of me going crazy for Blaze and Knuckle's hat.

@Vee They were so real for having Blaze and the hat come back and I genuinely mean this lmao
Seems that Leonardo now has top review for paper mario

@NOWITSREYNTIME17 Thanks for the heads up, I recall us two trading spots every now and then but I didn't think it'd be "solidified" til now. It seems like Snigglegros finally got ahead of me for the Halo 3 spot as well, so time for some clean up here....
