Great list my dude, RE7 was a masterpiece - It was such a good year, I feel bad for 2018 who has to follow up this incredible year Also I love the intro "Nintendo is killing it with games, Sony is killing it with games... also Microsoft released a 4k console" Accidental shade is my favourite :P

My personal Top 3 games for this year: 3. Breath of the Wild 2. Super Mario Odyssey 1. Persona 5 Persona 5 is honestly probably my favorite game of all time. I'm a HUGE fan of story-driven RPGs, and that game blew my mind from start to finish. I'm on my second playthrough and already discovering all sorts of aspects of the story I didn't even find out in my first playthrough.

Icecl Keyheart Same, I thought maybe he didn’t play it cause it would be impossible to 100% but thank god

[@stevenn1940]

Holloway raulie, not really impossible, just difficult. Essentially, it's multiple playthroughs. Romance each possible character (and get their item), complete every confidants quest (at least once to get their item), fuse and register every persona, max out his social stats (which is easy, in all honesty) and complete the new game+ only stuff (that I don't know all what it is). And collect every piece of gear, maybe? But he would have to be crazy for that. The biggest thing is the romance, since you actually have to do a whole playthrough for each one. And there's, what...I'm counting at least 7 datable characters? That's, flat out, 7 playthroughs, minimum.

[@HeroofLime1]

Or just have multiple saves once you get far enough in the story.

[@AJFails]

Not spoiling where it is on the list, but it's obvious it'll be there somewhere.... Super Mario Odyssey is 100% proof that Kirby needs a proper 3D game. The hat transformation ability is basically what Kirby does with his enemies. Granted in a different manner that's more potentially permanent, but with proper level design it could be absolutely amazing.

[@noircore]

TwoDrews Yeah, I'd like a 3D Kirby game finally, and I think it could work.

[@NSFSponsor]

I want a 3D Kirby but I honestly really love the 2-4 Player side scroller formula WAAAYYY too much. It's just so fun and actually fulfills a certain niche. I think we should leave the 3D to Mario, Zelda, Metroid, etc. Kirby doesn't have to follow behind them.

[@AJFails]

I agree they do have some of the best co-op platforming around with the current Kirby lineup, but I'm not suggesting Kirby follow behind the others, I really think Kirby could lead in the 3D platformer category with the mechanics it has at it's disposal. And they make enough spinoff games of *insert title here* that they could make a proper 3D Kirby game without just abandoning the 2-4 player side scrolling versions.

[@jarrav8186]

Yeah, but before that we'll need a good 2D game. *Cough* Star Allies sucks *cough*0

[@capnbug]

What if they make the 3D parts in Kirby star allies into a full game...

It feels like you’re always right in the room with your reviews and commentary and that makes it super relatable. You’ve made me a huge fan these last 3 years. Happy new year!

[@MrPatlikescorn]

I'm so happy you put Mario + Rabbids that game totally floored me. I loved how goofy the plot was following the Nintendo motif of "story isn't that important here's some gameplay." The game play is so clean the weapons are fun to use the characters and play styles are interesting it requires though and a process and a plan of attack. The rabbids weren't in your face annoying or over the type fart humor which was nice. Also I'm a big fat fan boy of that xcom style of game so ya know no opinion is totally objective but still.

[@moronivasquez3167]

[@Son0fAggression]

Good list. Really looking forward to see how long it took you to complete persona 5. It took me 102 hours to finish my first run and I'm currently on the completion round. It now stands as my absolutely favorite game of all time :)

[@jayvman1311]

Son0fAggression - As a long time fan of the series it took me 150 xD I was taking my time but wow it took me less than that for both 4 and 3 which are harder games by far :). well 4 is only harder because it doesn't have all the new systems. 3 is bone crushing sometimes.

[@Son0fAggression]

Jay Bond Yeah Persona 4 was my favorite game before. Took me around 70h to finish p4 and around 100h to finish p3 as I played the fes version. I started my second run of p5 on the hardest difficulty, the DLC one

[@jayvman1311]

Son0fAggression - Haven't attempted that yet. I didn't have allot of free time this year and I wanted to make sure I could complete it but it's on the cards. Personaly 3 is my favriot because of characters and story but there is no denying that the best game when taking everything into consideration is 5. Like wow I really didn't know how they'd make the jump from 3 - 4 again but 5 is arguably better in every way to 4. I think I like 4s music and characters and story more but just the mechanics and gameplay of 5 with its story that's equally good to 4 and 3 and oh god its soundtrack. Just wow in general xD such a fantastic game.

[@MorrisseyMuse]

Son0fAggression of all time?! it's nowhere near game of *this year*! lol

[@strangething7379]

100%ing the Persona 5 took me approximately 211 hours but it was so so worth it. It was easily my game of the year

[@Lone_Wolf_Hero]

Truly agree, 2017 has been a phenomenal year. It’s perhaps my favorite year for gaming. I’m surprised that BoTW was your #6 game. But don’t worry, it doesn’t bother me. It’s your list, you decide, I respect your opinions. I like to share with you my Top 10 Games of 2017: 1. The Legend of Zelda Breath of The Wild 2. Super Mario Odyssey 3. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 4. Horizon Zero Dawn 5. Sonic Mania 6. Metroid Samus Returns 7. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 8. Resident Evil 7 9. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle 10. Uncharted The Lost Legacy I’ll just talk about My Top 3 Games. As a newcomer, I ended up loving Xenoblade Chronicles 2 surprisingly. The combat system is fun & engaging, the story is deep, the soundtrack is out of this world, & the characters are great, it kept me going. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is perhaps my favorite JRPG, & probably one of my favorite games of all time. Super Mario Odyssey, the series keeps evolving with brilliant ideas and inventions. I enjoyed collecting Power Moons & Purple Coins, facing bosses, exploring different types of kingdoms, & having Cappy as my companion. Super Mario Odyssey is my favorite Mario game, and is perhaps my 2nd favorite game of all time. It’s the most fun game I’ve had since Mario Galaxy. It’s not revolutionary but it was magically all over again. My Game of The Year is The Legend of Zelda Breath of The Wild & it was a mind blowing experience! The changes Aonuma & his team did for the series worked; embracing Open World, introducing the physics engine, etc. I have a few nitpicks; frame rate drops & weak story (which I liked but it wasn’t enough). It’s not perfect, no game is. The strongest for me were gameplay & the exploration. The Shrines & Divine Beasts were fun, challenging, & had unique level design. Breath of The Wild is not only my Game of The Year, but it’s also my favorite game of all time. By completing it twice, my overall playtime is 425 hours. I’m sure future Zelda games will be better but when it comes to my personal experience, no game beat BoTW for me. It revolutionized both the Zelda series & the Open-World Genre. It’s the most immersive game I’ve ever played. I hope 2018 brings you pure joy! Thank you Jirard & Happy New Year! 🎉

And I haven't played Xenoblade 2 yet so I have no idea where that would rank. 9:32 lol 10:00 Surprised you had this one so low on your list. 20:04 Wait he does regular voice work on your channel? Never knew that.

[@NakazoraGen]

Glad to see someone mention Berseria. I don't know if I can put it on a list of my own, since I was never able to get around to finishing it due to personal issues, but it was my favorite Tales game in a long time. Didn't take my number 1 spot even within the series, but it was really good. Oh, and Xenoblade 2 is great. It is definitely worth trying out. Some people say it starts too slow, and I get where they are coming from, but in general the game always stays interesting, and keeps the story rolling in a unique way. Plus, spoiler, the game does indeed connect to the first game in the series. You find out how at the end though. Like... the VERY end.

[@Sonickidd217]

Thank you man honestly for always being on my watch feed

[@gaijinohmy]

My top 5 easily is 1.) Nier Automata 2.) Yakuza 0 3.) Tales of Berseria 4.) RE7 5.) Doki Doki Literature Club Your list was great as always, keep up the good work!

[@dylancross1039]

gaijinohmy You had good games until you listed DDLC

[@samuelroach8335]

I’m glad persona 5 is on the top of your list. It is my absolute favorite game, ever. I’m gonna be waiting on a actual completionest episode for it but it takes a long time to beat the game for the first time, not including the compendium, confidants, New Game Plus, and the downloadable harder difficulty

[@linkishthefrogking282]

Thanks for keeping your content consistent and fun! I really enjoy your videos.

[@udayansenapati6079]

I was so happy you have Persona 5 on your list and ecstatic that you have a video coming soon. Can’t wait to watch it. I still need to complete the game, but I still love the game.

[@skateboardmd9163]

I'm waiting on that Persona Completionist Video

[@Ambibop]

I wanna see this man complete Persona 5

[@JMeisterJ8D]

JIrard!!! The tightest of boys!!! Thank you for a great year of videos both on The Completionist and on Super Beard Bros.

[@LordBloodySoul]

You brought Cuphead, Mario Odysee, Breath of the Wilds and RE7 on this table. I could not be more satisfied :3 You rock, Mr. Completionist. Never let anyone tell you otherwise ;3

[@cosmotron150]

Wait... P5 Completionist episode? Bearded Jokka hype

[@TheDarkAngel969]

We never saw it coming

[@browut644]

TheFallenStar I did

[@FrostMichel]

PokeHex Vids Gotta finish persona 5 quickly

[@stevenn1940]

He made my christmas 4 days after the fact.

[@Sam-sn8oy]

I’m still waiting on that P5 video!

[@BryShima]

Thank you Jirard, Im someone who is still kind of new to your content. But I know that I do love what you put behind it, and I can only look forward to more of it in the future years! Stay Cool!

[@KenjiShiratsuki]

Yo dude. Thank YOU for being such an awesome entertainer all this time, completing games and showing us what they've got so we can enjoy them too. :3 I'll be honest. My game of the year is Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood. I feel like the story is excellent for a JRPG, any JRPG, and exceeds expectations in every way possible as an MMORPG's storyline.

[@garchompchump9274]

i know nobody cares, but i love the opening music you choose. i loved splatoon 2's ost. nobody appreciates this but dont worry, we care.

[@Codeburst]

My top 5 (I couldn't really get to much this year) are as follows: 5. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 4. Zelda BOTW 3. Super Mario Odyssey 2. Horizon Zero Dawn 1. Persona 5 I'm actually surprised at how much great games we got this year and no matter what we all got something this year that we loved. Hopefully next year can continue with great games as well!

[@nightwinggamer5366]

sonic mania?

[@Codeburst]

Didn't get around to sonic mania unfortunately as soon as taxes go through I'm hoping to pick it up then.

[@nicka8667]

Codeburst I definitely recommend trying cuphead if you can. It's well worth the $20 us

[@Codeburst]

Edgiest Cobra It's on my radar as well it looks like an amazing game just so little time to get to everything.

[@The_Zilla777]

Dude, great list and great vid. Thanks for so many amazing videos.

[@thetinfoilhatter5268]

Thank you for being such an amazing KZbinr, all the best for the new year!

[@bobsnob3073]

My favorite game of the year was Persona 5. I like Jrpgs, but I'm not a big fan, despite that I fell in love with Persona 5. I have always been a fan of the series, with Persona 3 being one of my favorite games of all time. Honestly though, I think persona 5 topped persona 3 in every way. The soundtrack was just phenomenal, and it was used so well. The battle theme is just so memorable, every shop's music perfectly fit it's character, the song that would play when you're about to confront a boss made you feel like a phantom thief, the nighttime music made you feel relaxed as you explored the streets and the final boss music (my personal favorite track in the game) was just the cherry on top. The story and characters were great, like any persona game each character got it's own arc and if you do their social link and they grow and change naturally through the game. The story itself, while perhaps not the most mind blowingly amazing story in the world, even the Persona franchise itself (It's one of the tings I feel 3 did better) it managed to keep my interest for the 120+ hours it took to beat my first play through. Oh yeah, I gotta talk about the romance options... all of them have a distinct personality and all of them are good options, my personal favorite was a tie between Kawakami and Makoto (now that I said that waifu wars will be waged in the replies). Both of them have the common theme of feeling like an outcast, and feeling hopeless in their situations by your main character. Personally I don't feel like any of them had as memorable of an arc as Naoto from Persona 4, but they were all still good. The combat in the game just felt so fluid. The combat is mostly the same as the rest of the franchise, but this time the animations and all the new options like baton passes and being able to change your character in battle made the whole experience less of a chore then the rest of the franchise can honestly be sometimes. Finally, the graphics, oh my god the graphics. As I said earlier everything about this game presentation just oozes style. For example, the day change in every other persona game was fine, the calender slides and it's the next day, but persona 5 has the calendar drop in and then a throwing knife is thrown and sticks out of the current day, I can't explain it with words, just look it up. Th character models are beautiful, with this being the first mainline persona game made in HD they were able to make everything so pretty. All the character models use cell shading which honestly makes the art style just, memorable, I'm clearly having a hard time putting it into words, but just look at this game from the footage in this video (spoiler alert it's number 2). If you haven't played this game yet then you have to. If you don't have a ps4 then used ps3s are super cheap, pick one of those up, and then you can play a lot of other great ps3 exclusives.

[@TravisPlushProductions]

Finally someone that doesn’t have BOTW as number one

[@gagepiercy1061]

Mario Odyssey is imo a more fun and enjoyable game while breath of the wild was more revolutionary for the franchise which is probably why it gets number 1 on most lists

[@gagepiercy1061]

They both also have the same average review score so technically they're both equal in terms of quality

[@MrPatlikescorn]

I mean it arguably is the best game of the year. It was revolutionary for not only Zelda but open world games in general. Truly a near masterpiece of a game. But ya know it's just opinions and I'm a Zelda fan boy so maybe I'm less objective than I'd like to be

[@gagepiercy1061]

Bon Baro I honestly thought that Mario Odyssey was just a more enjoyable game because they stuck to what made Mario fun and added new things that were also fun making it a better game in my opinion

[@gagepiercy1061]

Bon Baro yeah I totally get you because I'm a fan of that style too

[@Cameytoe]

Thank you, Jirard! Looking forward to another amazing year of content
