cig, since this is your thing, I just wanted to ask is this just video games (in the traditional sense), or do both computer and mobile games count as well?

Yes, PC and phone games are fine. As long as they aren't a port, rerelease, remake, etc.

I dunno if it was like that originally or DEFIANCE at my last selection post, but now it's driving me insane Rags and Blindy have a space between their picks but the other entries have no space.

Why what ever do you mean Ness? 

Damn it Rogue!

I was going to take AC2 on my last pick but gambled because I wanted a good fighting game title on my list.

Full disclosure here, because I came in so late I am working off a list I have saved of the top games countdown we did on the old boards from 2017 or so.  I may add in a couple that came out in in the interim but I am working off that list.  When I was hunting that list down I also found a countdown we did for video game characters, that was a fun one.  

My next pick might be totally out of left field and make or break me but I’m fucking doing it.

@ness, get in here and put a stop to this craziness.

*unless Ness picks the game I’m thinking of but I’ll be shocked if he does.

Do it RT, fucking do it. Us Canadians gotta stick together, er well six feet apart, but do it.

I was going to take Prince of Persia...in the final round maybe.

God of War is a good pick. One of the best PS4 games. I was considering it myself, but decided the impact of GTA 3 and the fact that I know most have played it, won it over.

Chrono Trigger was another on my shortlist, I actually had "Chrono" typed out (Followed by another title I don't want to say) before changing it to GTA3. Things are already starting to get rough as far as choices go!

I too was surprised by that pick.


Really good game though!

Six feet under if he does it. C'mon, @ness. Stop this man before he does something that can't be undone.

See 🤯 it wasn't that bad, far worse games out there to pick then Fortnite, case in point every game that @ness will draft.

Whew!

Just glad it turned out to be more of a Y2K scare than a coronavirus scare.

It’s a polarizing game for sure, but probably just due to its overwhelming popularity.

Now that I think about it it’s like picking John Cena in a draft. Gonna be a couple haters but the pros outweigh the cons by far.

Me and @nighty have very similar tastes I see. Horizon was high on my list of picks. It’s not one of my personal favourites but it’s still a lot of fun, visually stunning, all that jazz. My wife has played it through twice and that says something (she mostly hates video games).

Original RE2 is better anyhow, remake did great in the gameplay and was ass on the content side. Not having 2 proper scenarios 20 years after a PS1 game did it is just lazy.

I can't believe this game wasn't taken yet.

I thought it might be tough going up against RT with his MGS2 and then Ultimate on top of that, but then he destroyed his entire roster. That's like getting one less pick than everyone else.

Feel like I owe kid Blindy the Banjo Kazooie and (hopefully) my next pick, gotta give a dog a bone. Banjo Kazooie STILL holds up so well to this day.

Gruntilda just wanted to bring sexy evil back.

One of the very few game over screens I wasn't that angry about getting ya know. Well besides in Rusty Bucket Bay because well fuck that level. Oh and the quiz game. Those are the two exceptions that I would throw a tantrum over no matter how hot Gruntilda looked. 

Banjo & Kazooie are also by far the best character in Smash Ultimate. I main them and they absolutely destroy all opposition.

Man, Wind Waker is a fantastic pick. Top 3 Zelda for me (After BotW and LTTP)

Bioshock is another steal. It holds up to this day too.

All of the rosters are looking great!

The fact that Fortnite was chosen before this...

What is the world coming to...

Prime, the only fps I completed from start to finish. Yeah Yeah it's more exploration Zelda than Doom but fuck you.

Damn, the next few picks I had lined up have all been shot down, one by one.
