Well then, to you both I say "la-di-da." I am killing it with the comebacks today.

Would it be wrong if I chose this as my 2014 goty? It's that good.

Yeah, I did as well.  I don't manage 3 hour long stretches of gaming anyway, so intense hour long gaming sessions are perfect for me.  I particularly liked how the superlatives just keep pilling onto eachother in the final chapter(s)

It is excellent. Like a saturday morning cartoon brought to life. It is a love letter to all kinds of action games.

5-c!  Amazing fan service from Zelda to Punchout!  Just when I think this game will stop throwing new things my way, I keep getting surprised. I don't really care for action games all that much but this game makes me want to search for everyone I've never played.  There's something about this game that I can't quite put my finger on it. It makes me feel like a kid again, like I'm reliving some of the crazy action scenarios that I put my He-Man and G.I. Joe figures through.  I remember how Leo described Mario Galaxy as a game that felt like Christmas.  I get that here. I so wish I had hours and hours to just play through this.  It feels like a disservice to play the game in small chunks.

I am ashamed that I inspired so many to play this game and I have yet to finish it myself! Got wrapped up in a lot of things last year, never got to go back... The only thing that's stopped me: Picking this game up cold and in the middle of it would be next to impossible. Luckily I enjoy playing it so much, starting it over will NOT be a chore!

Love the flashback.  In fact, I can't believe how much I care for the story.

It is by far Kamiya's best story, it feels like it is written by a totally different person. He captures the saturday morning hero cartoon feel perfectly.

What I know about Wonderful 101: It's like a Saturday morning cartoon, you can draw shit, and it's so insanely confusing that no one can say anything else about it. A bit like how fucking hard Dark Souls is, dude.

Huh what is confusing about it, its a Kamiya action game? You go through the level and you fight shit, create crazy combos, try to get a platinum rank.

"Fight shit, create crazy combos" is a rather vague description (that sounds just like Transistor!). However, you're fine. Other people are not. The descriptions of this game generally suck.
