This game swept me up in its plot, and I choked up at parts.

I sped through the entire endgame because I wanted everything to be okay, and I only allowed myself to breathe again in the post-game, after the world was saved and the credits had rolled and it was okay to stop and work on Kurt's castle. It makes you care about its characters to the point that I now ship them, and then makes you care when bad things happen to them. The penultimate chapter is brutal in that regard. It's silly right until it's time to rip your heart out with its bare hands. Dragon Quest Builders 2 is a Dragon Quest game, and all that entails. These are all valid and good, but in the end, I think the traditional one wins out. We only had one traditional 'this game has sad moments and player punches' feel trip of a game plot this year, and had to pad the rest of the list with pensive thoughtful art things that make us feel things in other ways. Whether it makes us cry, warms our heart, makes us think about our lives, or otherwise makes us feel things, this award is to honor the games that took us on a journey through the strongest emotions. Did we ever truly stop Dragon Questing? Because Little Nemo, at least, is unfinished childhood business that is now over.Д¬rying Bulbasaur award for Achievements in Emotional Devastation

It's nice to get Dragon Warrior II off the list, but we jumped from there directly into Dragon Quest Builders 2 and now we're splashing Dragon Quest 3 on the side.

In the end, Little Nemo feels like the one we're more free of, now. I agree it's probably one of those two, and both of you make good points. I have very little I can add to this that has not already been said, but I agree with Celine's reasoning and her choice. Haunting some facet of the system or another directly since childhood, the one you or we or someone have been trying to beat off and on throughout the years and only just now was the achievement finally reached. I'm going to go with the one that's been haunting us. Dragon Warrior II was always the game you dreamed about playing, though, and never one you actually played until this year. You know, those are all really good points, and that's a good pick. This one was a fairly easy and obvious choice for me. Triumphantly conquering an impossibly difficult obstacle of a game? It's Dragon Warrior II. Finally laying to rest something that has been bothering me for ages? Think back to the story of that tantalizing poster and the game we never actually got to play, but that I had been wondering about this whole time. Satisfying a prerequisite that finally allows us to venture forth into sequels, fandom stuff, etc.? 'I'm interested but I feel like I should beat DW2 first' was the hurdle behind Dragon Quest 3, Dragon Quest Builders 2, and Dragon Quest 11.

There are many ways to consider this category, but I honestly think that Dragon Warrior II most satisfies all of them. Whatever the reason, this award honors the games whose eventual completion made us say, 'Finally! After ten thousand years, I'm free! It's time to conquer Earth!' Some games are long, some are hard, some have just been in the backlog forever. Rita Repulsa award for Achievements in Backlog Liberation Generally listed in the order of who made their decisions, since sometimes one of us made a good enough case in their choice to convince another to agree, and we don't want to steal anyone's thunder. Same 'Name:' format for everyone as last year, only there are a lot more names involved this time. We just covered the nominees, so now let's pick some winners! This year.Д«ut one thing that hasn't been an awful hellpit this year (unless you read the comments, but like, that's always the case) is video gaming. As of right when this is written there are four days left in 2020, and 2020 appears to be taking that as some sort of challenge regarding how much sheer 2020 it can cram into 2020's final moments.
