Stage Select:

3. Not buying Donkey Kong Jungle Beat (GC) with the bongos for $3- Since this game will never get a proper rerelease

2. Playing Mass Effect Andromeda- My face is tired

1. Playing Assassin's Creed 3 for 8 hours straight- I saw that I would get more money if I traded it in before Black Friday. I needed to see how the series would end Desmond's arc even though I hated that character because I spent 5 games with the guy. And after enduring the game's awful missions, buggy world, and unsatisfying mechanics, Connor's story ends with him sharing a beer with a villain in the middle of the woods before stabbing him and Desmond's given a moral choice in a series that has never had them before then the character picks to let the villain win for you.

Cage Match: X-Com, because many people beat Horizon with no issues but no one beats X-Com on their first save file. Or can ever see a 95% statistic without getting triggered ever again.

I'm fine with the items breaking in New Horizons because it made crafting more integral to the early parts of the game, but I think the game is too slow to give you the permanent ones that never break. If around two weeks of playing in you can start getting ways for crafting manuals for these golden items, I'd be more okay with it. 

Just letting you know if you ever get a 360, XB1 or Series X, Radiant Silvergun is on all three thanks to 360 BC.

Okay, I can believe Vice City is the next GTA. I can believe that Julian has no concerns about the writing. I'll even accept I can't find anything about this on the internet and Rockstar exclusively flew Julian in and he didn't mention it on NWP. But Julian hyped for a game that will take over 200 hours to complete? No way

There is a way to separate items in Animal Crossing but you have to do them one at a time and it's not ideal. Inventory does need a bit of work but I'm so addicted to the loop I don't mind yet.

3. Snatcher- Hideo Kojima and cyberpunk feel like a perfect match. I'm bitter at Konami because this will be on the Turbografx 16 Mini but only in Japanese. Not surprised because it's Konami but still bitter. 

2. Burning Rangers- I love weird Sega games and an action platformer about firefighters in the future sounds like something I'm really missing out on

1. Panzer Dragoon Saga- I'm not sure if I'd like this game since I often bounce off 5th gen RPGs. But an RPG about riding dragons sounds fun, the eight people who played it insist it's one of the greatest RPGs ever made and it's another weird Sega game that looks so good.

Cage Match- Has to be Galaga. If Adam Sandler can beat Centipede who can't?

After seeing all of Nick's Mario Maker 2 videos, this sounds like his dream game.

Stage Select: Not a big wrestling fan but I do love Iron Sheik and would be down for a beat em up starring him. 

Cage Match: Doom Eternal. I really loved Doom 2016 and a grappling hook sounds like a perfect addition. I might buy Animal Crossing too but it's a lower priority than Doom.

3. Czerka Corporation (Kotor)- Unlike Umbrella or Cerberus, Czerka knows how to be deplorable without everyone knowing it, which is key to any evil corporation. Enslaving Wookies, hiring mercenaries to hunt Sand People, hijacking restoring life to a planet to make a quick buck off its resources, theres no low this company won't stop to. You can even make a Czerka droid go insane when he realizes how many murders he aided the company with and starts killing everyone he sees.

2. Gadgetron Corporation (Ratchet and Clank)- Thanks to them, you can summon a homicidal robot companion, throw a grenade that turns into a disco ball forcing your enemies, then finish them off with a gatling gun surrounded by rocket launchers. Nuff said.

1. Tom Nook's Store (Animal Crossing)- He builds you a house, you can pay it off whenever you want, then builds you a bigger house you can pay off whenever you want. And all you need to do to pay it off is pick fruit and catch fish. I wish there was a company like this in real life.

I agree with the placement. Asylum is by far my favorite of the three, but Knight was still pretty great and City feeling like a somewhat awkward but still good transition. I know a lot of people are sick of the Joker and I was ready to move on but I love how they handled him in the game, made the story for me.

I was a bit lukewarm on RDR1 but loved RDR2. The variety of locations like you said was a big factor but the structure had me hooked. All the people in your camp made me more attached to missions, I can only remember a handful of them in 1 but remember most of them in 2. Made me much more engaged with 2s story as well.
