The performance category feels like they purposely limited it to one performance per game, otherwise we'd have seen multiple reps from Baldur's Gate 3. The performance for Astarion was great, but I could easily see the nod going to Karlach or the narrator as well. And no disrespect to Idris Elba, but what he had to work with in Phantom Liberty (enjoyable as it was) doesn't hold a candle to Karlach; I might even say that another actor in Phantom Liberty put on a better performance than Elba did, again just because she had better material to work with.
Also, this is the first time the fighting game category nominees didn't make me angry. Usually they omit some notable game that belongs in the category and include a game or two that clearly don't belong there.
I am playing the trails series for the first time, and I’m doing it by order of release. I’m at the finale chapter of Trails to Azure and I’m super excited to finally reach the cold steel saga, but should I play Nayuta first? (I kind of think I should, but I don’t know if it’s related to everything else.)
I haven't played Nayuta yet (got the GOG release a few days ago though) but I've played all of Cold Steel I~IV and did not notice anything in them that would suggest that Nayuta even existed -- unlike Zero/Azure where not having played those (due to no official English release at the time) led to some "who the heck is this and WTF is going on here?!" moments as well as some "I would probably appreciate this more if I'd been able to play those games..." sections.
If you want to carry on into Cold Steel after Azure you'll be fine.
Kinda disappointing since the NES games were included in the Kunio collection, and there are still no arcade versions included. I’d basically only be getting this for Super DD and DD Advance (DDIV is that shitty recent game that was only $4 if I recall). Would have been nice if they included other versions too like the Master System and others.
I'm really looking forward to this game. In anticipation for this I've been playing Suikoden 5 which came out a whopping 17 years ago. I don't mind waiting a few months longer.
