No. Serena Williams, unless we are sticking to Men's Tennis, in which case, still no, but it's closer at least. With those limitations, I would have to give it to Federer.

God no. Serena has to compete with a no existent field. Seriously how many greats are in Serena's generation? I'll wait. How many no names and one time wonders have won a slam in the women's division? I don't think I can even count.

Winning a men's slam is one of the hardest things to do in a sport considering how you have to go through at least one, two or even three of the Big Three which was a Big Four before Andy Murray's injury.

As for their H2H meetings I'd say that Djokovic owns both of them because they played each other more during Djokovic's prime. Djokovic clearly has Nadal's number on anything but clay. Federer is 6 years older than Djokovic and most of their meetings were past Fed's prime. Nadal's H2H wins over Fed are also stat padded because of how many times they played on clay. When you breakdown their H2H on other surfaces Federer has the edge comfortably over Nadal.

So H2H records should be taken with a grain of salt.

I think Prime Federer is still better considering how the only tournament he didn't win at those time were clay tournaments. I think Fed literally had a 92-4 win loss record that one year and all those losses were on clay.

I think Novak has been more consistent for a longer period of time but he barely edges out old Federer in slam finals and outright loses to him in some.

Nadal is undisputed on clay but his records elsewhere are nowhere near as good as Fed's or Djokovic's. Like the guy literally almost tied Sampras' record with Roland Garros wins. I'd argue that even Andy Murray would have been better than Nadal on Hard and Grass if injury didn't completely derail his career.

So to answer the question, each have their claim to GOAT status in their own way. Statistically Novak has the edge over both Fed and Nadal and will likely eclipse both their slam totals when all is said and done. Fed will forever remain the fan favorite and possess the most beautiful game in tennis and Rafa will forever remain the undisputed God of clay and the most tenacious player ever.

All three transcend their sport.

Capcom gimme Resident Evil: Code Veronica Remake news please. No need to touch the holy grail that is RE4.

Also, no need to remake RE0 because nobody likes that game.

Except that Sony decided to not show up so no GoW2 news
Which is a shame because Sony is usually the only one that can compete with Nintendo

Oh shit. Haven't really been following the E3 news. That sucks. Square Enix is already done so no hope of an FF7Remake 2 announcement I guess.

Ninja Gaiden 1/Black/Sigma is an absolute classic that can hold its own against DMC and Bayo but sadly not so much for 2 (and god did they make the Sigma version infinitely more obnoxious than the original Xbox 360 with the removal of blood and spongey enemies instead of more) and lol 3.

To answer the question though the 3D games are completely different than the original action platformer ones.

Good news! All of those games have already been announced

Meant gets a tangible release date for 2021-2022

Although Metroid Prime 4 may be super wishful thinking.

E3 will be redeemed as long as they announce God of War 2, BotW2 or Metroid Prime 4.

Do you like Mario & Rabbids

No

So what noteworthy games were announced in the last two days of E3?

I prefer the lore, setting, story and characters of Infinite but I'll give BioShock credit where credit is due. It is a really well designed games with a great air of mystery surrounding it and Rapture is one of the most iconic locations created in the last gen of games (although I personally prefer Columbia). Listening to the tapes to uncover the story was great but it never really reached the heights of some of gaming's best stories. The twist is good but again IMO is something Infinite does better.

LotR movies

LoL Hobbit.

Stellar character interaction, very good plot and a completely relatable ending for me, being a father of two. Granted I wasn't a dad back then when I played it and even then I thought the ending really resonated with me.

The sequel in my opinion is better in every single way though and I'll get to that when the topic is about TLOU Part II.

Nominate Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

Don't wanna delve too deeply into why I love FromSoftware stories and their lore so much because it will be a wall of text so all I'm gonna say is the kind of vague presentation of the story is the perfect compliment to the type of game Dark Souls is.

My hype is through the roof. This might be my most anticipated game in a long long time.

Can't wait for Jan 2022.

I really liked the mid-end game plot exposition and even the 1 hour ending (hey I believe MGS2 endgame stretch was that long as well) that everybody complains about. However the characters are nowhere near as good as the MGS series and Sam is disappointingly quite bland. The plot is really good once it gets going though but it takes a while for it to really get going.

Story and lore are the least of the game's concerns though. Gameplay is where my main issues lie with the game but that would be off topic.

Metal Gear Solid
Resident Evil
Wild Arms

Super Mario Bros.

The Dictator

Good story with really good characters and a solid ending. A tad overrated by its fanbase like most niche media.

Nice. Haven't played a very good R&C game since A Crack in Time and even that one didn't really blow me away like Up Your Arsenal did.

It is all about the gameplay dude.

It's an ok clone of Secret of Mana but I didn't get too far before I axed my playthrough.

And by 30 I mean Km/hr not miles.

Most people who complain about slow drivers consider driving the speed limit to be slow

Well I'm complaining about the ones who think it is acceptable to drive at 30 on a 2-way with only one lane and thinking the traffic congested behind them is acceptable. These are on roads where there aren't any assigned min or max speed limits.

Fast drivers are inoffensive for me because they pass and then they are out of your sight. Slow drivers with their holier than thou attitude and selfish belief that driving slower than a turtle is how driving is supposed to be is one of the biggest reason why daily driving is really wearing me down.

It's not a dumb pet peeve so it is off topic but slow drivers being a menace to the road needed to be addressed.

Fucking hate slow drivers

I was totally implying Vesperia about the unnecessary third act as much as I love the game. Abyss suffers from mid game lull like Graces, Xillia and even Berseria. I couldn't stomach Zestiria after a while hence why I nominated it because I'm curious to know about its story.

4? Not sure what scale to use, but that feels right.

Luke's story is really cool. Unfortunately the game keeps going for like 30 hours after that and it's boring as heck.

Tales games need their mid game lull and sometimes an unnecessary third act.

I nominate Tales of Zestiria.

There are many good reasons to dislike Anise and it's confusing that someone couldn't see it even if they like her.

What are these good reasons to dislike Anise really? People act as if she is Eiko 2.0 when she isn't anywhere close to being an annoying child character. As I was playing Abyss I kept asking myself. Wait so this is the little girl that everyone hates? What's wrong with her? She's adorable.

If anything in this game warrants hate from annoyance it would be Mieu and Luke pre-character development (but hey even asshole Luke was pretty fucking hilarious).

Melia's personality is enough for her to be the hottest character in the Xeno universe.

Wow. People absolutely hate FFIV with a passion around here huh. Enough for it to be placed below Chrono Cross of all things in story.

6.5

Story itself is super average to even borderline bad after the first half of the game like most Tales games but the character development of Luke and cast interaction carries it far. I like the cast in Abyss more than the average Tales game and think Anise is hated for absolutely no good reason because I find her like a cute daughter figure and quite adorable. There are a lot worse child characters yet they somehow get a pass and Anise gets loathed. A head scratcher for me to this day.

I really like the story of FFIV. It has a very classic feel to it. Cliche yes but it is the game that put JRPGs story on the map and the father to all the tropes for the better.

My body is ready

Half-Life 1 has aged like corpse but 2 is timeless.

Still my 2nd favorite FPS game behind only Metroid Prime.

Abaasy > Daedala > Belgazas > Arsene

Wouldn't consider Final Marcus a Super Boss just because he is one level higher than the level cap.

Arsene is the only one I really loathe fighting and everytime I beat him it feels like luck more than strategy.
