I showed that one to my fiancee and it was too good to the point the other episodes I showed her looked nowhere near as good, that’s a good one for after they’ve shown some interest already imo

For a real answer though, The Best of Both Worlds is what I showed to my family as an introduction. They didn’t hate it which is probably the best reaction I could have hoped for.

This calls for the Sub Rosa test.

Dragon Quest Swords

Metroid Prime 4 and Mega Man 6

I started this game twice and couldn’t make it past the first 15 minutes both times, despite liking 2 fine enough. I was definitely confused as to why this game is considered really good, but I’ll have to actually play the whole thing someday since I’m sure I’m missing something.

I can agree the ending is probably the weakest part of the game, and I think the final Dark Samus fight is pretty confusing if you don’t already know what to do. But I love this game so much and definitely more than Prime 1. For me it’s only beaten by Dread and Super.

Yeah the first 2 (haven’t played 3) are just really solid in most respects and don’t have any huge design decisions that make no sense. I’m enjoying 4 so far but there are a few choices where I don’t understand how they ever made their way into the final product.

From what I’ve heard about Tanabe from watching reviews about the Prime games and looking things up for a Prime 4 review I’m working on, yeah that sounds pretty in character. I think the difficulty of Echoes is perfect outside of that one fight though, at least for me.

I love the Spider Guardian honestly, although I can see why a lot of people don’t. I think the Boost Guardian is a lot worse though

I haven’t played 3, but Echoes is my third favorite Metroid game (haven’t finished Prime 4 yet but it’s definitely not looking like it’s going to beat Prime 1 and 2).

I think the progression is just some of the most interesting in the series and bosses are creative and fun.

In Zero 2 I just kind of forgot about those mechanics entirely, it doesn’t make any sense at all but I found the rest of the game fun enough to look past it

I think Zero 1 is worth playing if only to see how much better the future games are by comparison, but yeah it has a ton of issues.

Mega Man IV (Game Boy)

Can’t wait to watch a video about my favorite game of all time

I liked this game fine enough, but man would it be terrible without using save states
