Eddie's Best Things of 2022
Ok, I'm Eddie and here's the best of 2022.
Shout outs to getting kidney stones & covid week 1 of 2022! Truly an experience!!
Games? Plenty. Here we go.
#gotyforme Spider-Man PS4.
Why would I pick anything else? I threw aside my plan to 100% the Final Fantasy series. I completely put everything else on pause for this game. It made me smile. it made me cry. It was a love letter to all the admiration and comfort I find in Peter Parker.
Fighting GOTY?
This year gave me quite a few new options and some renewed passion for old games. Amidst the newfound love for Tekken, I series I wrote off entirely after Tekken 3; and the weekly fight nights in Street Fighter V, the boys brought in some competition, or some semblance of it; and the game that made me start questioning what a hyper-focus is, Marvel vs Capcom 2; I found such an absolute joy in...
DNF Duel!
I'll be honest, I wrote a whole thing about this game I guess Tumblr didn't like it coz it's all gone. Anyways...
I think this is my first modern day kusoge. Several 50/50s, tons of movement options, and nearly infinite pressure. Only game I've gotten so comfortable in saying "Damn, I think I can break his guard and hit him with this really stupid easy 60% combo." In other words, holy shit - who made this for me?!
I truly enjoyed all the god awful things you can do to your opponents. Besides Tekken 7, it's the only game to piss me off even when I won. Alt-F4 was my friend sometimes. I really hate how much I love this game.
Shout outs to KUNO-ITCHY! She joins the ranks of "Eddie, come on" characters (Laura, Lidia, Magneto, Fox, Falco, and probably like Chrom). She carried me to Diamond. Carried me hard.
Next up?
Worst Game, 2022.
It was NFS: Unbound. I refunded it after 2 hours. Bought Mile Morales. I don't regret it. That's it.
Most Forgettable Game, 2022
3-way tie between Halo: Infinite, Multi-Versus, and Need for Speed (2015).
I don't have much to say. They were booted, we had some laughs, and we eventually stopped doing both those things. NFS2015 kind of gets a pass coz the handling was pretty good.
Ok, I'll just rapidfire the rest coz this is long.
Best NPC - Stan Lee, Spider-Man PS4. I cried, ok.
Best New Old Game (Retro, but new to me)- Money Idol Puzzle Exchange. Thanks, Griffin.
Best Old New Game (New to me, but not from this year)- Persona 5 Royal. Or maybe Sekiro, but that's...
Game that Pissed Me Off the Most - Sekiro. Jesus, fuck. I still can't fucking finish that game.
Most Played Street Fighter - 3rd Strike. Probably, but more importantly..
Most Nostalgic Based Ass-Kicking - Marvel vs Capcom 2. Jesus, I love this game.
The Worst Opponent - Andi in Tekken 7. Bro, "Your moves are faster" was the weakest rage-quit moment.
The Best Opponent - The 5-Minute Queues in DNF Duel.
Favorite Finish - Digimon World 3. Finally did it.
Best Tetris - Magical Tetris Challenge
Best Mod - Emudeck on Steam Deck
I guess that's mostly everything. Shout out to Hinokakera Chaotic Eclipse.
I was staring at this screenshot as I was thinking about my closing thoughts. This game is wild. She is naked.
Anyways. Good year overall, games wise. Not too many letdowns, mainly just Unbound. Next up, whenever I remember to do it...
Movies!
