I love these end of year specials! They actually inspired me to jump back in to my backlog, and I've beaten more games in 2020 than I've managed in years. Thanks to you!
That's really cool 🙂
The Mindset point is super important. Sometimes a game can be amazing but because of where your at it doesn't hit right. Several games in the last few years such as red dead redemption 2 just didn't feel right. I just shelf them until the time is right and give it a go again. Nier was an excellent choice for revisit. And sayonara wild hearts is the biggest gem I think I've ever played. A real hero of mixing music and gameplay, proving a game doesn't have to be long to have impact and having the ability to be played on phones and any console. When I hear that OST I can't help but be happy.
Great to see Sayonara Wild Hearts, I'm all for short games that are big on Wow per second. Games should not be judged on their length, but on how engaged and entertained you are.
I just tried to buy the game on the NA PS Store and... I can't? Those few minutes of gameplay totally got me hooked and intrigued.
You guys have re-ignited my love of gaming!
Every time I watch one of their videos I wanna drop everything and boot up a classic. Love this channel’s passion!
Watching!
@Carter Why would they be? It's superficial really, it just adds that checkmark honestly. You can click the profile if you really aren't sure, and see that it is the real digital foundry from the sub count, videos, how long it's been up, etc...
That Pokemon Snap segment was so wholesome!
Hour and a half of MLIG on New Years Eve? Im so ready!
I have a friend who has watched pretty much every modern horror gory movie there is, but shelved RE2R after a few hours because he got too scared playing it. He still hasn't gone back to it.
Watching someone run from zombies has nothing on actually running from zombies.
Try's gotta catch up to Dave and I on them Animal Crossing hours! :D
Respect to Try for putting in the effort to play Dragon Warrior 10 in Japanese. That's hardcore.
probably because you said it so many times in a row but I just can't stop laughing at the way you say "inzomniac" 😁 I'm sorry I don't mean to tease you this was a great video. You guys rock!
Just opened a bottle of wine.
One game that everyone should try, Sackboy A Big Adventure. I am having a blast with its platform mechanics .
The pacing and editing of MLiG videos is second to none. You guys really know how to hit us right in the nostalgia with the music too.
The visual quality of your videos is the best on TH-cam, much appreciation guys.
That new game room is HEAVENLY.
Your studio has become very awesome!! Wishing everybody out there a healthy 2021!!!
Cheers, you two! What a fun year with the channel! So grateful for MLiG in 2020
Man Streets of Rage 4 was such a huge grower for me. being a huge fan of the series, i was initially disappointed after my first playthrough but the combos and best method of attack for all characters and enemy's makes it really quite deep, the unlockable's are also fantastic.
You guys play more than you lead on. But it leads me to how much I love the discovery in these yearly eps. They consistently cap off with Coury pulling out some left field surprise as his favorite game
... And since his tastes are so similar to mine I’m happy to report having played through Sayonara Wild Hearts a few times already. On release I wrote it off as pretentious, but it’s much more rhythm arcade goodness than anything. The whole package is a love child between Amplitude gameplay with Rez music and a Kentucky Route Zero art style
Blazing Chrome kept me sane in lockdown, brilliant game.
As a dad with three kids around the same age... the segment with Pokemon Snap made me smile. My oldest daughter and I started to play through Yellow and Red together on Gameboy (original hardware)... maybe it's time for another run.
Another great video as always.
My top 10 was as follows
1 Kirby Star Allies (I know lol but I enjoyed it and loved that you could have past villains as partners like Marx and Daroach)
2 Super Mario Galaxy (This became my #2 fave Mario game after Odyssey)
3 Streets of Rage 4 (Favorite postgame content ever)
4 Katamari Damacy Reroll (Fun charming game that made me laugh at times lol)
5 Hat in Time (Nice 3d platfomer that I finally got around to playing)
6 Yoshi's Crafted World (Cool game that had fun challenges to it)
7 Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 (Fun Lego game like any other one)
8 Spyro 3 (Didn't care for it as first 2 but still a good game nonetheless)
9 ShaqFu Returns (Funny game and the Obama DLC made laugh in tears haha)
10 Battleblock Theater (Game I mostly played in 2019 and finally finished in February)
Only did like 15 games because I'm an essential worker and until July worked 2 essential jobs at once as well as tried reading more but a lot of decent games I played. :)
YES!! I've been watching this for 2 years now. Best way to end the year! 😀 thanks a lot for the amazing content guys!
You folks really helped me throughout the year to stay sane! Your channel is so professional and well edited! Whenever I felt overwhelmed I could rely on your channel and a few others like Game Sack to calm down my nerves.
I hope 2021 is a better year for all of us
You guys stay safe and have a great New Years!
Great job guys! I found several games I want to pick up from watching this. Also it was great to see the transformation of Coury’s “new” game room. Looking forward to what you guys have in store for 2021!
Love these end of year videos. Always something in there that I've missed over the year(s).
Cheers guys.
How about a monthly "pick ups" video on games you guys are currently playing or think we should check out? Just an idea.
Here's to more MLiG for 2021 and beyond! 👍
Such an awesome retrospective. I didn't think I'd sit though the whole thing, but I loved it from beginning to end
What a fantastic tribute to 2020! I loved everything about this video! The length was perfect, there were so many good games, and in a crazy year - it was a perfect way to close it out in a positive way!
2020 was such a difficult year. But one of my biggest escapes was tuning in to as many streams you guys hold every Sunday and watching your videos.There were lots of games that I saw on this video that I've been meaning to get to, and some that I want to own so bad, like Sayonara Wild Hearts. I just want to thank you Try and Coury, for all that you do to keep us sane and entertained during the pandemic. I look forward to seeing more awesome videos and attending your streams as we approach 2021.
With all that said...HAPPY NEW YEAR, DYNAMIC DUO!!!!
Coury 's opinion on streets of rage 4 is similar to mine the art style woulda worked better as comix zone sequel or as an original ip. As a streets of rage sequel I think it's better than 3 but I don't think I like it more than 2.
I always look forward to these every year, these year-end videos are great for finding games that fell under the radar for me (like Monster Boy in the Cursed Kingdom, what a game!) and I always add a bunch of games to my wish-list every time. Here's to many more years of MLiG!
I enjoy these end of year videos. I always find a new game to play based on what you both have been playing this past year.
Great job and keep up the good work. Can’t wait for more future videos of anything gaming.
Mystik Belle strikes me as a call-back to the old platformer adventures that were popular on home computers in the 80's. For example the Dizzy series from Code Masters, or games like Everyone's A Wally from Mikro-gen.
Great vid guys as usual. Thanks for all youve put out this year! Its helped me get through the usual deal everyones dealt with, plus my house caught fire to top it off! Lol, Heres to 2021 gentlemen!
This is a must watch for the year end. Thank you so much for putting this together.
You guys make such excellent content. I really appreciate the time and talent you put into these. Cheers to 2022(I know this is last year's episode)
This is always my favourite episode you guys do every year. Nothing gets me more fired up to attack my backlog.
[Try4ce] Just giving back for how much mileage my NES collection got out of that Top 10 Hidden Gems video you did in 2014!. :)
@@mylifeingaming Well now I’m blushing lol
WOW! Coury nailed what I feel about SOR4
Great video, guys
Such a fun and relaxed fell-good episode. Thanks guys!
I stared playing DQX myself on the Switch, mostly to see what's been hidden from me this whole time, and for some reason imagined Try talking about it and reviewing it. Somehow I predicted the future I guess. I haven't made it far at all, only got to the first town past the beginning story, but it's a really interesting game to play just because I know so little about it and can't easily look up the up do date info due to the language barrier. Who knows, I may meet up with some of you sometime! Hopefully, I need friends lol
Love your channel! Happy New Year everyone! 🍾🥂🌠
Great positive message in the intro! Thanks for all your video that didn't help me at all for 2020 making me buy a crampton of retro stuff 😅
I love the kids watching Pokemon snap, reminds me of the meme :"who's that Pokémon"
I played and beat Paper Mario: The Origami King, Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom, and the remake of Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap.
I also played through, and beat, Monster World IV on the Genesis Mini. All fun games.
Hope you guys talk about Macbat 64 in this one! It was a lot of fun hanging out with you guys on stream and chatting about the game.
[Try4ce] Hah, I do wish I had found a place for it in the video. That was a fun stream! Can't have EVERYTHING in the video though I guess. I mean it's already nearly an hour and a half!
I ended up enjoying this episode much more than I had expected! Thank you ❤️.
Love your new gaming basement Coury!
You guys are the best on TH-cam. Best regards from Brazil!
Yet another awesome video. Keep up the fantastic work guys!
Ily guys, you make these hard times so much more bearable. Thank you, sincerely.
been waiting to see this all year. great content as always
Well that was an excellent year end review. Also super sweet set up, Coury. Very impressive. Loved watching you playing Pokémon with the kids. Though we're the same age, my son is not even 2 yet, but I hope to have similar experiences in the years to come.
Thanks for everything you guys do. Here's to 2021.
Man that was a great episode! Between this and Bithead1000, 8-Bit Duke, what a day! Thank you all and Happy New Year to
My Life in Gaming.
I wish you a happy new year and hope my best for MLiG with awesome RGB Masterclass Video, Best way to play, Tips and Analogue Frontiers for 2021 !
Merci Beaucoup, Thanks guys !
Thank you for the timestamps!
AWESOME video, Happy New Year!!!
Absolutely love these! Cheers guys
This episode is my favorite because I watched this a year ago when I had to take a leave from work for 2 weeks. you guys inspired me to play some games I have on my backlog list and best of all introduced me to the japanese translation apps used to translate Japanese games that we have always dreamed of having them translated. I play a lot Japanese visual novels in their native language but ever since you guys showed these apps they made such games and visual novels more fun now that you can understand the dialogue and the story events better. Thank you guys so much and here I am one year later rewatching the episode again.
Man, I'm jealous, I am a healthcare worker and while everyone else had all this time to play games, I've had less time than ever. Barely scratched the surface of FFVII remake. 😒
Just say you won't work more than fixed amount of hours. My sister works 32 hours. That's it
Was on the fence and now you sold me on Wild Hearts. Thanks for the great work! Awesome channel as always.
33:01 this is actually the most adorable thing I've seen in a minute.
Coury your new space looks great!
Same with me on Pokemon! I'm 41 and missed it. My kids are obsessed though lol. 5 and 7 :) Pokemon stadium is great with them! It's good for little kids as it's slow. You can also battle the parents
Happy new year ! amazing video
Happy new years everyone!
Glad you put Sayonara Wild Hearts, one of the best game i've play since a long time ! You had a good year :)
Happy New Year!!!
Star allies is the only Kirby game my kids want to play and they love it. I’ve tried to get them to play the others and they just aren’t into them. The 3 player co-op goes a long way, since they all get to play together and are of different skill levels.
I love this special video, 1h30 of happiness. I have enjoyed it. Thanks a lot for sharing. 👍😊
This is one of my favorite videos on all TH-cam each year. Here’s to a great 2021 fellas!
I have been looking forward to this!
Good work fellas hope 2021 is a great year for you
I just found them today by the ps2 rgb vid and I have been hooked since. Thanks for the S-Tier content! I can’t believe it is free!
Tifa, especially her new high def version makes everything easier.
Brilliant as always!
I agree with Try's comment about playing a series of games in a row. I was all in on Xbox 360 back in the day. Picked up a PS3 back in March of last year, played through the Uncharted series in about 2 months. Was really fun to see how there was a leap in graphics and gameplay between each entry.
Oh thank god, I'm overseas and needed this tonight. Thanks you guys and here's to gaming in 2021!!!
That's thank God... as in capital G
@@TheActs2021 for you maybe
@@jakehughes5155 no, it's fact. You always capitalize a proper noun, and we should always reverence God's name.
@@TheActs2021 nope not me
@@jakehughes5155 okay then... if you won't in this life you will in the next.
Been looking forward to this!
I enjoy these yearly wrapups since they carry the spirit of the backloggery. My favorite new to me playthrough of the ~100 games I knocked off the backlog was the english fan translation of the original Sakura Wars on Saturn. Just a fun, cozy game that was a great history lesson on one of Sega's biggest franchises that rarely came over to the West.
Shout out to Tim Rogers
He's simply the greatest.
I love Tim more than all of you
Wooo! I’ve been waiting for this!
Tomb raider brings back a lot of memories of old friends all of us sitting around trying to figure it out three of us then when three people are figuring out in trying to help the game tomb raider becomes easy I miss the old friends good old days
"Inzomniac"
That is all.
This.
That hurt my ears every time I heard it, I initially thought he was trolling
Thank you
Indeed.
Yes. Stop that. It is spelled and pronounced with an "s". I had to stop the video.
Finally got through this! You guys went through a handful of games I've been putting off or considering getting, so hopefully this extra feedback gives that me push for those sidetracked games.
Aggelos was defiantly my favorite surprise of the year (of games I played). My favorite overall game that i played was Monster Boy on Switch.
I was really hoping the notification I got for your channel was your new room tour. Guess I'll have to wait a little longer.
This video was great, though! Gave me some things to actually go play. I never gave Nier a chance and thinking maybe I should!
I do prefer these types of year game lists rather than top games of the year. Cause I can relate to this too much. They tend to be cheaper. The exception for me this year was streets of rage 4. The only 2020 game I bought last year
Just started Aggelos before I watched this video, meant to pick it up after Coury played on a Sunday stream and forgot by the next morning in true middle aged guy fashion. Good call, it just feels right (down to that very wonderboy slipperiness). Have a great year boys.
Man, Try's top game of the year is the same as mine. Hard agree with that choice. And Coury's pick was my top game of last year. Especially liked seeing a larger channel such as yours discussing Sayonara Wild Hearts. Every time you do these lists it makes me think I should pay a bit more attention to what stuff I play for the first time in any given year.
Can't believe you put Chiki Chiki Boys on a PVM screen, played the music, got the game and didn't talk about it. Outraged. One of my nostalgic favourites.
These videos are always great.
I have finished a ton of games this year, some interesting ones that I would of never tried but, I started Game Pass Achievement hunting on the Xbox, and found some really special games, blown away by a bunch. This showed me some games that I might of missed and a few titles I will be shopping for. Thanks as always.
The forever back log.... Once I feel I am getting close, I open a new box...sigh..
I played through both Age of calamity and Dragon quest heroes 2 this year and I recommend both
This man made an hour and a half long video to tick us into listening to him talk about his Animal Crossing island. Bravo.
I like that you can just say apartment door in the slums and anyone who played FF7 (and probably plenty that didn't) will know exactly what you're talking about. I'd argue it's the most memorable video game character of 2020.
[Try4ce] I think it's amazing how many people noticed. I literally did a full PS4 system reboot when I saw that door because I was convinced something wasn't working right.
Coury playing Pokémon snap with his kids is so wholesome!
This video is awesome guys!
I like how you don't limit to talk about games released this year. In the end, you gotta play what you like, no matter when it was released. I got to play several retro stuff in 2020, like Vagrant Story, Terra Nigma and Chrono Trigger. Gaming really help to go through 2020...
I was so excited for Pokémon Snap, I couldn't sleep the night before release date. Despite the length of the game, I spent months playing it.
Hah, Värnhems Falafel is like 150m from my apartment! They make arguably the best falafel in Malmö (and this town is considered the falafel capital of Sweden to begin with). I knew the developer is located here, but had no idea they put in this local flavor!
I bring shame to my house by still not having played Sayonara Wild Hearts, I'll have to fix that soon. Really like the idea of starting from one game in a franchise right to another, been doing that with the Resident Evil games that I've never played. Great stuff as always guys!
The only video i really can't wait for once every year.
