The graphics on Star Wars™ Battlefront™ II are outstanding, especially playing on an Xbox One X at 4K. That being said, when the inevitable Persona 5: Diamond Edition launches with a hopefully revised script, I’ll be first in line to play through it again. Also, not a big fan of games with A Giant Cup™ as the big bad. While Persona 5 has some really bright points, the lack of a cohesive narrative and extremely lackluster writing (most likely due to the localization) really made the game a chore. I skipped out on playing NieR:Automata for this! Persona 5 is a game that I plugged over 100 hours into, and it’s the first game that I have spent so much time on, only to regret it afterwards. It’s so bad, someone made an entire website of the major infractions - “ Persona Problems” At many points, sentences resemble that of a machine translation - not even coming close to an English sentence. I had to re-read entire sections of the phone conversations over and over again to try to make sense of the context.

For me, it becomes nearly unplayable as you reach the mid-game. The graphics, the art style, the battle and menu UI, the music, and even the gameplay are outstanding, but… the localization is a deal breaker. But, let’s be honest here: Persona 5 is no Persona 4 Golden. Now, before I get into my personal Top 10 of 2017, I’d like to explore a few games that have made the (Dis)honorable Mentions, and the reasons that kept them out of the top 10. While 2017 was a rough year for a lot of us, myself included, on the gaming front it was one of the best! Some series saw miraculous rebirths, brand new genres were created and, better yet, there was a brand new Bubsy the Bobcat! Yes! Finally! But whatever the case may be, you're here now, so let's get started! Mwahaha! You may even know me as the leader of the treacherous League of Heels wrestling stable “The Digivolution” with Suda-51, Swery65, and Mega Ran (and our super boss Kenny Omega!). Some of you may know me as the creator of the cyberpunk game series Read Only Memories, and some know me as the founder of the gaming convention GaymerX. Hey y’all! My name is Matt Conn, CEO of MidBoss.
