I can't speak for everyone but as a former trophy whore, I haven't really cared about them in recent years. Last game I really felt inclined to get all the trophies in was Bloodborne but that's also because it acted as a nice checklist for things to discover that were less emphasized by the main game (like the arcane and hunter tools for example). Plus trophies/achievements can be awesome when they create unique challenges like the legendary Annual from Halo 3 where you had to complete the last mission in 4 player co-op using separate vehicles and a harder checkpoint system. Nobody has ever liked online trophies and those have faded away for the most part. And although many times it feels like a chore list in open world games, it can act as a convenient way to organize the possible side missions and features that may be harder for players to discover by themselves.
I haven't played the Wars games or Spartan Ops but I really do feel that there is something phenomenal about each game
CE: Missions 2 through 5 are pretty much unmatched by any game other than parts of Halo 3. Blood Gulch, Beaver Creek, and Sidewinder are the foundations of some of the greatest sequences of maps ever
2: Best set of maps of all time in any game
3: Levels 6 and 7 plus the end of 9 are some of the best sequences I've ever played. Multiplayer is incredible with so many different game modes and Forge is an excellent addition.
ODST: Amazing atmosphere and open world. The best pure single player one since CE plus it's a lot more consistent as a whole.
Reach: The most consistently good campaign in the series. Forge World offers near limitless possibilities. Unbelievably content packed and the daily/weekly challenges gave it even more replayability
4: Campaign has a phenomenal presentation and I really did like the greater emphasis on story even if it isn't easy to understand
5: Combat mechanics are the best in the series and among the best in any shooter I've ever played. Arena is amazing
Important to clarify: Best single player or best multiplayer? Cause I'd be included to agree that Reach had the best single player campaign in the franchise, but the multiplayer was a bit too unbalanced for my tastes. Halo 5 is the opposite, worst campaign, probably best multiplayer.
Metroid Prime 2 Echoes is the best Metroid game ever
We are currently in a golden age of indie gaming
Klonoa games are the best platformers

Hello friend, Reach is the best Bungie game that they have realised in a lifetime, too bad it never got a remaster...
And I really like Halo 4...
Yeah, I really whish we could play a remastered version of Reach on X1. Such a fantastic game.
Dark Souls 2 is an amazing game, and just as good as the others. Scholar of the First Sin makes it even better.
Final Fantasy X-2s combat/job system needs to return to a mainline game.
The Secret of Mana remake on PS4 is really good (The OST is a mixed bag still)
Grandia XTreme should've been called Grandia 4.

-Playstation All-Stars, after Smash, Rivals, and Slap City is one of the better platform fighters out there.
-There definitely should be more edutainment games. For example, I really want Oregon Trail, but open-world and with multiplayer.-
-I would like to see a first-person platformer, or a first-person fighting game.
-2017 and 2018 have been some of the best years in gaming so far.
-Even if the only reason you like a game is because of nostalgia, it still can be great.

I think gaming is in a great place, I've never had more fun playing games than i have this generation, and there are more quality games coming out than I'll ever be able to play.
I just can't get on board with all the doom and gloom, gaming has never been better.

-Also, the hate towards games like Sonic '06, or Sonic Boom: Rise Of Lyric is fair, but it should cloudn't your judgement of other games within their respective franchises.
Crystal Chronicles is one of the best FF experiences ever.
Fuck yes.
I sat down and played some Goldeneye earlier after being shown some of Giant Bomb's video content, and honestly, I think it still holds up pretty well. Is it as good as its PC contemporaries or predecessors (Doom, Quake, Half-Life)? No, definitely not - but it's still a pretty solid shooter that controls better than people give it credit for (not to compare the game's quality to RE4's, but you can draw comparisons in how the enemies' behavior and limitations are clearly balanced around the particular ways the control scheme limits you).
I think Keiji Inafune's Comcept had a hand in creating a couple of this gen's best games in ReCore: Definitive Edition and Soul Sacrifice Delta. I consider both stand-out titles in their respective genre and bold and unique games in this world where few dare to take risks. Maybe I would have had a different tone had I backed Mighty No. 9 with $500 but I was sad to see the company get absorbed/disappear.
Gonna agree with some posters above that Halo: Reach is a phenomenal shooter, and the best in the series
Agree. Every Uncharted game was better than the last to me. (and that's saying something because they're all fantastic).
I would agree
Also agree with this.
I'm not a fanatic Halo fan but I have ended up playing them all somehow and Reach is definitely my favorite Halo as well.
I liked Zombi (the PC version even though I still dislike that you are required to use Uplay).
Im starting to come around on EA.... give me anything Dead Space related and I'd go back to seeing them in a positive light.
I'm putting my helmet on and bracing for impact.

Dark Souls 2 is amazing, Skyward Sword is the perfect pre-BotW 3D Zelda, Shadow of the Colossus remake faithfully captured the aesthetic of the original and greatly improved on it, The Last Guardian was worth the wait and it's the one of the most unique first party games ever.
EDIT: Also I think I've already posted in this thread before, saying pretty much the exact same thing. Whoops lol

Final Fantasy XIII-2 's a great game who's only major flaw is that it's the sequel to Final Fantasy XIII.
edit: Jumping on the Skyward Sword train; I love that it tried to incorporate the puzzle-solving aspect of dungeons into it's overworld and it's one of the reasons BotW didn't click with me as the Dungeon to Overworld relationship was entirely divorced from one another.

On the note about Skyward Sword, I hope another Zelda can use it's control scheme.
That too, I'd also say it's the perfect swan song for Wii motion controls. Everything just felt so good, and it felt like what Twilight Princess should've been in regards to the combat had it not been on the gamecube.
