Paper Mario Sticker Star. I don't think I've ever played a worse game and it came from a franchise that is in my top 5. They ruined it thoroughly. It doesn't even resemble Paper Mario anymore.

Yooka-Laylee. I've played worse games, but it's still a really dreadful game that has no good ideas of its own and mishandles just about every element it takes from its predecessors. Also I paid like 100 pounds for it, which is too much for one of the worst games of the year.

Video player takes forever to come up in my iPhone's Chrome. Videos play fine elsewhere, it's only here that they take forever to get going.

@jurck: Same. I love the aiming in the recent Zelda games and ports, but it doesn't work if it's not both so I go with regular aiming. Fine tuning, that's where motion controls shine, not in having to turn the controller up and down and hitting Y to reset when it gets fucked.

I hope they don't put anything on the service that directly competes with their main games. I like that Overwatch is the only multiplayer competitive shooter and Heroes is the only MOBA, Hearthstone the only card game. If they put, like, a dopey card game on the service that wasn't Hearthstone I'd be not into it.

Top three are definitely...

• Zelda
• Persona
• Nier

I don't know the order yet. I think they could go in any order. I voted for Zelda for the poll since I really like the Switch and the other two, being on the PS4, aren't on the Switch.

As for the remaining two... Counting only games I played I'd say (4) Edith Finch and (5) Rivals of Aether, but including games I haven't played, only watched, I'd say (4) Player Unknown's Battlegrounds and (5) Yakuza 0.

I hope the archive goes up soon. I really enjoyed what I saw of this, it's a really good feature.

The only thing I think is bad about Sunshine is that due to the Final World's requirement for appearance being "Defeat all the Shadow Marios" blue coin shines and shines past the Shadow Mario shine of each world do nothing for you and will never be a part of any any% run. That's only something you realize when you watch Any% Speedruns though and realize the route is literally just "get the Shadow Marios" as I think a route to get the fastest sprites rather than the specific necessary sprites would be a cool run. Hell, I know it's a cool run since I've seen 20 Shines, a category that's just the 20 fastest Shines.

Still, that's only a thing that affects the speedrun of Sunshine, also Sunshine is still an amazing speed game none the less with great categories. I especially love All Shines where they have to route the blue coins while getting the rest of the shines. There's also the Hoverless variants of a bunch of categories which are real neat to see.

Sunshine is the best Summer Game and I love how all its worlds are on a single theme but each come at it with a slightly different take. Plus, it's got a ton of great tech and is an amazing speed game. Really enjoyed what I saw of the first episode (watched the first hour), love how they're turned Sunshine into Mario Party with their dumb rules. It's a good and reasonable original feature! I think they will come out of this liking Sunshine!

Is Nier a B Game?

I wonder what the odds are of...

1) A Destiny hero in Heroes of the Storm

2) That hero being free if you buy Destiny 2

3) Nexus Challenge but for Destiny rather than Overwatch (or, better still, both)

I think number three is almost guaranteed. The other two are long shots since no non-Blizzard characters have gotten into Heroes... but it could happen, and it could trick Destiny players into playing Heroes.
