VERY excited for Hall of Greats tonight. Not a slight at anything else, but it's probably my favorite thing they make on a consistent basis.
I know they sometimes don't nominate the "obvious" game to get in to the HOG, but it's time they stop kicking the can down the road and end the madness and nominate/enshrine Yakuza 0 tonght.
I love Yakuza 0 (and the series), it's one of my favorite games I have played this gen, but I am not sure if it should be in the HOG after such a short amount of time. I don't feel like it has proven itself yet. I obviously won't be mad if it gets in, but I think there are a lot of other games that deserve to get in before Yakuza 0.
I mean this sincerely, Don needs to bring Trials to Hall of Greats. I think he could grab a few votes, especially from Jones. Playing through Trials Fusion this month on PS+, it holds up big time for a game made in 2014. And infinite replayability. No Mario Maker servers offline snafu to crater his attempt!
I love the trials series. My favorite is probably still Trials HD as it was the first Trials game I really played a lot (I have played Trials 2 a couple of times back in the day, but I didn't seriously played it for a good amount of time). It really made me love the series instead of just something I enjoyed playing for a couple of minutes. I played the Inferno track in Trials HD every day for months just to get better and went from failing it the first 3 times (either over 30 minutes or 500 faults) to getting it with 3 faults and under 2 minutes if I remember correctly. It's also the game that learned me how to play Trials as I didn't have a lot of trouble with finishing any DLC or Full game since then (although some of the tracks were more difficult than others) (however some user created tracks (especially the Ninja tracks) are impossible for me, I am for sure not the best Trials player, search some youtube videos to be amazed as some of them are insanely good).
I think Trials Evolution is probably the one that deserves the most to get in the HOG if ever as it made the series much more popular and added a lot of extra possibilities in the editor (you can create a lot of different types of games with Trials Evolution (and Fusion)).
It's unfortunately also the one that's been recently removed from the Xbox store if I am not mistake, you can only get it on Steam anymore for some crazy reason (it's also not backwards compatible). I suspect Ubisoft has to do with this as they did the same with Tetris on the DS/3DS store when they released their own Tetris and the old games weren't released by Ubisoft, but by Microsoft Studios (so maybe it's MS, but Trials HD is still on there and is BC, so not sure what happened there).
I would love it if Don brings one of the trials games as they deserve all the airtime they can get, but it won't make it in by a long shot as there are plenty of other games that probably deserve it more.
