Hello everybody and welcome to this week's Community Question!
My name is Alex and I want to sincerely thank all of you for the amazing responses that
we got in for last week's question and I'm doubly looking forward to seeing the answers
you all come up with for the question this week.
But before we get into that, I said last week that I'm going to be reading and replying
to all your answers from last week on each video.
For the people who missed it, last week's question was, "Name any game or games that
you replay."
Got it?
Ok… let's get right to the answers!
Nauto-Ace-211-EX writes: Samurai Warriors 2 during the PS2-Era, then
Super Mario Bros. 3 via virtual console on my 3DS, and currently, Neptunia: Re-Birth,
which he says he's grinding beyond level 99.
I know that Nauto's a huge fan of Neptunia, so that's really awesome that he's still
replaying that game, but I'm really curious as to Samurai Warriors 2.
That's a very specific pick!
Though his pick of Super Mario Bros. 3 is something I can relate.
It's probably my favorite 2D Mario game out of the bunch!
The Justin Show writes: Uncharted franchise, Alan Wake, and Red Dead
Redemption are my usual ones.
I'll always happily go back to any of the Uncharted games to replay.
In fact, I did that over the past year, finishing both the first and second Uncharted!
Alan Wake's a great game, but sadly, I'd have to procure a new Xbox 360 to be able
to play that… not to mention the game, so there's that!
And as far as Red Dead Redemption is concerned, I'm not surprised Justin put this in his
list: He loves western games.
I'll readily admit though that I stopped playing the game once I reached the "Mexico"
part.
But hey, that's what a backlog is all about right?
TokenGeek writes: I'm playing through Super Metroid and The
Last of Us for the 4th or 5th time each.
They're always ones I find myself coming back to.
Super Metroid is one of my favorite Super Nintendo games of all time!
Who can ever forget that amazing opening?
And I commend you for being able to go back to The Last of Us.
It's a fantastic game, but not a terribly pleasant one in terms of the emotions and
feels it evokes.
It always tugs at my heartstrings every single time I think of playing it.
But hey, I still have the Remastered version, hoping someday I'll come back to it!
Sagacyte writes: Well, I constantly play Destiny 2 or Final
Fantasy XIV but those are "modern" games.
If we're talking about old games, I would say SimCity 4 or, to follow a good example,
both Megaman games you mentioned.
I am actually replaying 2!
I don't like putting hard rules onto these questions because I'd like you to interpret
it how you wish, so any answer - as long as it's true to yourself - is a good answer!
So Destiny 2 and Final Fantasy XIV definitely counts!
Also, we talked a little in the comments about why Saga likes SimCity 4 and he said that
it was his first SimCity game.
Saga, you gotta check out Cities Skylines.
I promise you'll like it!
And good luck with your replay of Mega Man 2!
Bufudyne writes: One game I seem to return to often is Resident
Evil 2.
It was a game that somehow helped me cope with the grief of losing someone.
I had support from family and friends of course, but on my own I didn't have time to be depressed
when I was too busy figuring out where I needed to go in the Racoon Police Station and trying
to survive till the end of the game.
It might sound morbid, but the fear and excitement that comes from a survival-horror game does
a lot for me whenever I'm feeling down, because it immerses me in a way that I can
let go of any pain and anxieties I have.
It's become a specific game for a specific mood, but one that does the job very well
for me which I can return to whenever I need it.
I remember responding to Bufudyne's comment and telling them how touched I was with their
response.
I didn't say this in the comments, but the act of playing video games is special to me
and something that I feel makes me closer to my dad.
You see my parents were divorced, and I didn't see my dad until I was 9 or 10 years old.
My dad introduced me to console games when I was a kid.
He took me to this small place that allowed us to rent FamiComs and had a blast playing
through Mike Tyson's Punch-Out.
As a surprise, he bought me a FamiCom after finishing our rental and got me a copy of
Jaleco's Exerion.
And while the game never actually ended, I was happy to call this FamiCom my own.
So aside from the feelings that games evoke, I feel that playing games let's me be close
to my dad.
'Love you Pa!
Shortstacks0 writes: Weirdly, I think only things like Diablo and
Overwatch count for me as replay.
Everything else is picked back up on a random whim, and certainly not on a regular cadence.
These are games that actually call for coming back, and feel like I never left.
Even with balance changes or new classes, it still feels so familiar.
Anything else takes a while to remember.
Getting in and out of certain video games is like trying to jump onto a moving train
after it's left the station.
Especially if you leave a playthrough mid-way, only to return to it not knowing how the controls
work or what you're even doing!
Diablo and Overwatch are super fun games, so those are great choices!
Maybe I'll hit up one of our community members and see if they'll be up to playing some
Overwatch sometime…
I miss playing that game!
Black Metal Gamer writes: Every year, I replay Dark Souls 1, Super Mario
Bros. 3 ('cause its the best of the 2D era), Resident Evil 1 Remake, Resident Evil 4, and
Mike Tyson's Punch Out - 'cause it's always held up so good and it's always fun.
In the comments, Black Metal Gamer and I talked at length about Super Mario Bros. 3, and even
a little bit about Mike Tyson's Punch-Out.
To me, Mr. Dream never happened - even though it did - and Mike Tyson will always be the
last boss of the Punch-Out series for me.
I also kinda wish I was good at Dark Souls…
I've expressed it before in the podcast, but I'm terrible at them!
But that hasn't stopped my hope of eventually "getting the gameplay" and progressing
through Bloodborne significantly.
Yea, they're different games technically, but they're similar.
At least I got to Father Gascoigne this year.
Maybe next year I'll actually beat him?
Stefan Homberger writes: I replay Final Fantasy IX every 2-3 years
and come back to SSX Tricky, Tekken Tag Tournament, StarCraft, The House of the Dead (1 or 2)
and both Bushido Blade games at least once a year.
This is quite the list of games!
I tried replaying through Final Fantasy IX last year, but given that I have the attention
span of a squirrel, I left it alone after jumping onto another game.
I remember loving it still and looked forward to actually playing more of it!
SSX Tricky is my favorite game in the franchise, and I feel the gameplay was at its peak in
that iteration!
Talking about House of the Dead 1 and 2 just reminds me that I have Typing of the Dead
Overkill on PC and that I should beat it.
For the record, I did beat the original Typing of the Dead - both on Dreamcast and PC!
Great list of games, Stefan!
Makes me wonder what you're playing *now*...
Xander Skullion writes: Every Christmas, I play Super Mario World
from beginning to end.
It's a game I always come back to.
Now do you 100% the game and go to Star Road?
If you do, that's damn impressive!
I've only really played through that game once, but maybe I should consider picking
it up before the Wii eShop permanently disappears in March…
BioPhoenix writes: Donkey Kong Country, probably since it was
the first game I ever played.
But man, that game is so much fun and revisiting all the levels and hearing all the music always
makes me happy.
Tecmo's Deception is the other game.
It's kindof a weird one, but again it was another early game I played and I just loved
messing around with all the different traps and I love the concept of the game.
I know the other games have a lot more added, but this one still holds a special place to
me.
Donkey Kong Country's graphics blew my mind as a kid, and imagining BioPhoenix's reaction
as he played his first video game, it must've been truly magical!
Though it is interesting that, around the same time, he got into Tecmo's Deception.
No two games can be more contrasting as a Nintendo platformer and a game where you set
traps to ensnare unwanted guests in your castle.
Maybe Bowser should've hired the protagonist of Tecmo's Deception to set up traps in
his castle...
And that's all we managed to get in this video!

Alrighty!
For this week's Community Question, we venture away from YouTube and onto Twitter.
I found this question so intriguing that I thought of answering it at the time - but
didn't - and wanted to ask you all the question instead because it sounded so much fun!
Ready?
Here it goes: What are your favorite games for the platforms
you owned?
For the purpose of this video, it doesn't matter if you didn't own the original platform.
Maybe you rented it.
Maybe you played it on a different platform on Virtual Console or whatever.
Those all count.
And answer as best as you can, as the following week's question is going to use your answers
to this one!
While you're figuring out what to respond to this question, let me give you my answers.
Keep in mind that my feelings about these choices really vary from day to day, as do
yours - so just go with your gut for your answers and don't overthink it, ok?
