The rise of microtransaction

[@ChasepdaQB9]

DLC for post game isn’t a bad thing, I’ll take expansions for games that were great at release (Bloodborne,HZD,etc) loot boxes & pay 2 min mechanics as well as other micro transactions are bad DLC. The only games that really suck these days are either online focused FPS/3PS or games using the “games-as a-service model... It really does matter where you look

If devs ignored XBOXONE (because loves that worthless thing) in their games, and just developed games only for next gen we'll get a really new experience in gaming.

[@Sirg17x]

I lost my mom in 2014 as well and yeah it hurts. It was my first semester of my junior year in college. I had taken a year off to figure things out. My mom was my biggest supporter in my continued education. On December 13th just 8 days after my mom's 49th birthday and only 12 days before I was set to be home to see her and the rest of my family for Christmas, my mom lost her 13 year fight with cancer. A fight that went from breast cancer to remission to it's resurgence and spread to her bones and digestive system. She was the strongest person I have ever known. She somehow fought the cancer and gave me, my sister, and step sister a seemingly normal childhood and formative years. She always wanted to be back to work as soon as possible where she taught elementary special education. I may not know your exact pain or the struggles you may have gone through, but I know those were tough times to fight through. I know the pain still makes its way back from time to time, but I'm sure your mother is proud of you for your continued success and the ability to work towards happiness and peace.

Now that you mention it, I hadn't thought about it before but Shovel Knight got me through some rough times too. There was a time in 2015 when I would get home from work and just crank through a playthrough of the game several times a week, because it was so cathartic - that's something I hadn't done since the PS2 Ratchet games! I've even 100%ed Shovel and Plague Knight on two different consoles, that's how into it I was. Much love, and here's to the next ten years!

[@youraveragepasser-by7367]

I've had the game for quite some time but I haven't full gotten into it. Definitely will soon

[@scatered1]

Ratchet & Clank is one of the best game series ever. If R&CF: A Crack In Time had released in 2010 and not 2009 I would put it at least #2 on my top 10 games of the decade.

[@x2buller47]

Shovel Knight came into my life when I was dealing with something I never thought I had to deal with. And that's depression. Really I had zero hope of continuing to live and then I played Shovel Knight and it basically saved my life. As well as all the people who I love and care about I met them thanks to Shovel Knight. So really it isn't my favorite game of all time. It's my favorite thing of all time.

I can understand Kiyua, because every hour of Hollow Knight is fun, and the fun is tripled when you discover a new area!

It’s always nice to see developers that don’t get much recognition to get some.

[@cattysplat]

As someone who has been addicted to multiplayer games and missed out on so many good single player games this decade, I cherish those who still stick up for single player games since to many they are "old fashioned" experiences. I have friends that just pirate single player games but buy multiplayer because they are forced to, feels like they were killing the industry. Especially now there is so much focus on microtransacitons and making money from cosmetics, there is so much money to be made from addicted players that companies have been giving up single player to make more money, which is sad but playing online is a harsh drug to come off of and I believe most gamers cannot help themselves. Channels like this help keep single player alive because it shows there is still plenty of reasons to keep buying and playing them, completion, achievements, collectables that you can take your time with and actually enjoy. Instead of video games being an extension of real life which turns them into busy work, rushing through them to catch other people and worse of all skipping story, making people miss exactly what makes these games so beautiful and well crafted.

Hearing your thoughts and your situation in 2014 reminded me of one I was similarly dealing with around 2015/2016. Things really started in 2015, but 2016 was where it all kicked up to 11. 2016 was a very rough year to say the least, between contracting an eating disorder that seriously affected my school and personal lives and still lives with me to this day, to dealing with a ton of stress and drama resulting in fallouts and leaving me with about 2 core friends to my name, and the upcoming stresses of high school graduation and the start of college months later. I heard about this little indie game that everyone loved called "Undertale" around January of 2016, but I didn't get a chance to play it until around Christmas. And it.....totally broke me. I laughed and cried like an idiot for a long long time. But then I picked myself back up. Undertale, with its writing, appearance, charm and so many other aspects, helped me to truly start the healing process, to accept my mistakes, let go of my anxieties and move on. And so I resonate a lot with your story. Games as a medium truly have the power to shape our lives, and to impact them for the better. Whether its Undertale, or Shovel Knight, or something completely different, games just have the ability to help us recover, and fight, and keep going on. There are so many better ways to put all that, but we all know its true, no matter what. I love you and the show Jirard, I'll probably join the Patreon soon, but ultimately I look forward to seeing more games completed every week, and seeing even more growth. And maybe even the next game to impact you the same way Shovel Knight did.

My list would include: Persona 5, Undertale, and Kirby Planet Robobot at least. Then some good options for the list after those top ones: Portal 2 Hollow Knight Link between worlds Metroid: Samus Returns Minecraft Breath of the Wild Pokemon Black and White (or B2W2) Pokemon Conquest

[@dogestep64]

I love pokemon black and white and 2

[@cherrylk4188]

Unfortunately, Minecraft came out in 2009, before the decade in question. Hollow knight 300% deserves to be on the list tho. Portal 2 was also a perfect fit.

[@AndroidHarris]

@@cherrylk4188 Minecraft alpha did come out in 2009 but the official release came out in 2011 so I thought it would count.

[@TheGreenthunder200]

Xenoblade Chronicles has to be my favorite game of the decade, and all time. Never before have I played an RPG so immersive in its world in every aspect.

[@gaspastrike]

100%. Definitive Edition is already my GOTY 2020.

[@dudestep]

Isnt that the game where there are 14 year olds in bikinis?

[@TheGreenthunder200]

The Fighter No???

[@animefanrk2k]

I have so much to think about to make a list like yours. But your list and the heart in making it is evident. Thank you for the years of entertainment, and for many more.

[@HahnKirby]

I would definitely have Red Dead Redemption, Skyrim, Borderlands 2, The Last of Us, Breath of the Wild, Undertale, Mario Odyssey, and Persona 5 on my list. That's just off the top of my head, I'm still not sure what order they would be in or what else I would add to finish the list.

[@HahnKirby]

I totally forgot about The Walking Dead, that would definitely make the list.

[@HahnKirby]

The final game added to my list might just be Animal Crossing: New Leaf, I've spent so much time in that game it's insane. Here's hoping that New Horizons will be good enough to make it into my top ten for this decade!

2010 Fallout New Vegas 2011 The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim or The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings 2012 XCOM: Enemy Unknown or Mass Effect 3 with honorable mention to Spec Ops The Line and Faster Than Light 2013 Bioshick Infinite with honorable mention to Metro: Last Light 2014 Divinity: Original Sin 2015 The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt 2016 Doom with honorable mention to XCOM 2 2017 Divinity: Original Sin 2 or Cuphead with honorable mention to Super Mario Odyssey and RE7: Biohazard 2018 Red Dead Redemption 2 with honorable mention to Battletech and God of War 2019 The Outer Worlds with honorable mention to Devil May Cry 5 and RE2 Remake Going through the experiment of making my own list really highlights the differences in what people enjoy about games to me. I can barely give most of Jirards top games the time of day and I bet he's hardly heard of several of mine. It makes it seem a lot like people enjoy the platform they game on with just as much importance as the game they are playing on it. Jirard likes his Switch, and doesn't play on PC much, so every gaming experience he has is vastly different from mine. I don't like using my Switch at all and don't really enjoy Nintendo games, even the best of them, because I constantly think about wanting to play things on PC (for varied reasons) when I do pick up my Switch, I just get bored and put it down. Fun list and video though, no disrespect to the decisions made.

[@Phenom98]

The outer worlds is overrated as fuck. It's a shame some people see it as a masterpiece. That just shows how starved we are for good Western rpgs

[@thenorthernrob7663]

@@Phenom98 it's a shame you didn't enjoy it for the story and options as much as I did. It's not the most expensive RPG ever, but it was my favorite game in 2019, it wouldn't win my all time.

[@thenorthernrob7663]

@@Buttershooter I hate zelda games. I don't think they're bad. I don't hate when people like them. I just derive no joy from playing them. They bore me endlessly. I'm sure Pillars of Eternity or maybe constant runs of CIV 5 or Battletech would bore you, and that's fine, I'm not claiming that my list is better than anyone else, I just made a list. I really don't enjoy Nintendo games, their products are dull to me. That I put Odyssey in is a testament to how good a Mario game it is that it kept my interest

[@Dsl-_-]

I can appreciate a man who puts fallout New Vegas on his list (but legit nice list I gotta agree )

[@UPHENOS]

It's very hard for me to watch a list of best of the decade games which doesn't include Bloodborne, The Witcher 3, The Last of Us, God of War, Uncharted 4, Mass Effect 2, Nier Automata, Zelda Breath of the Wild, Tearaway, Red Dead Redemption and so many other titles that defined in their own unique way their respective generations/genres/systems, at the same time these omissions of so many important games being a testament to how many amazing experiences we've had in gaming! I can however totally respect this man's own take on which are his very best games of the decade and what each of these games meant to him! Cheers mate!

I hear a good Randy Savage impression early on, instant like.

All I gotta say is that bit at the end for the last entry on the list? Fuck man that's beautiful. Thank you for sharing that with us so unabashedly

I feel like this guy is always lowkey flexing

[@maxschuldes913]

I feel like Stardew Valley deserves a shout. And also anything from from software. Probably bloodborne

[@TheBrazilRules]

The first Dark Souls is still the best Souls game

[@Bennieboy918]

@@TheBrazilRules eh, no

[@blazinginferno15]

I don't have a list but like you Shovel Knight would be at the top. I fell in love with this game because of you guys playing it with Jake on Beard Bros and was hyped for every update, every new soundtrack, and every new possibility with the gameplay. It's bittersweet that it's finally done because I'm so incredibly happy for YatchClub and their dedication to fulfilling their promise to their fans but also I'm gonna miss the anticipation for more Shovel Knight updates. I never really say things like this but Shovel Knight has definitely achieved GOAT status in my book and I'm super excited to see where the Yatch takes us next

[@Kaien132]

Great list, loved it! Shovel Knight was definitely a masterpiece!
