What Are Your 2014 Gaming Goals?

[scott]

Sin2Beta started this idea for me in the Recently Completed thread. We have a thread for our Collection Goals for 2014. We all have games that we've wanted to finish but never gotten around to it, what are your goals for gaming in 2014?

I'd like to finally finish off these this year:

- Super Mario Bros
- Super Mario Bros 2
- Etrian Odyssey
- Legend of Zelda: Link Between Worlds
- Persona 3
- Xenoblade Chronicles
- Radiant Historia
- Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride
- Panzer Dragoon Saga

I'm sure there are more, but these are the top of my list at the moment.

Hmm, first off Im shocked at some of the games you have on your list.

My list is :
Bravely Default
The witch and the hundred knight (just pre-ordered!)
Xenoblade Chronicles
Radiant Historia
Ys IV

Games I want to get replayed again this year
Final fantasy VII
Dragon Quest II-IX
Phantasy star I-IV

[scott]

Ya I have a terrible habit of not finished games...

A few games I want to complete are:

I have this goal as well. I've played through the 1st one, but over the summer acquired 2-4 on NES. I need to get around to playing them!

A big fat #1. Set the World Record in Super Mario Bros speed run. I'm at just about 7 min right now. If someone can find me a record time without using glitches, that would be great.

2. A No Death Run of Contra

3. Assassins Creed IV

4. Mario & Luigi Dream Team

5. Mario Kart 8

6. Smash Bros WiiU and 3DS.

That's a start. I have a massive backlog. So I'll try to thin that out some.

Reminds me I need to finish Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride. I got pretty far in that and never finished it...

I think during the 25th anniversary of Mario somebody set the record at the Nintendo store.  I watched the video a few years ago on the Nintendo Channel on Wii.

Edit: Although they did not show the full run. Just the ending and the time.

- Do a play through of Resident Evil 0 through Resident Evil 4 (including Code Veronica X) on the Gamecube.

- Beat at least 2 PS1 RPGs. I have a ton of them, but sadly have only beat the FFs.

- Get better at ma SHMUPS :p

- At least a third of the games I beat this year will be from the SNES or Genesis library (two consoles I mostly neglected this last year).

- Play Earthbound and find out why on earth people feel it is worth $150.

Lol I ask myself the same thing with Xenoblade. I made it through 90% of the game, and then I moved and never picked it back up. It is such an incredible game!!!!

Because it's amazing. Granted, I have my copy from when I was a kid. It's probably not worth that much, but it's a great game in my eyes. If I needed to replace my copy, I might pony up that much money. Up there with chrono trigger and the like.

I'd like to finally finish off these this year:

- Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse

Good luck on this one. After trying hundreds of times, I have never been able to beat that boss that has three forms, oddly I forgot his name (not Dracula lol)

I just beat Chrono Trigger and seeing how Earthbound goes for twice as much typically, it better be twice as good lol! That's going to be hard since Chrono Trigger is definitely one of the best RPGs I have played, and that is coming from someone who has zero nostalgia for that game. It will be interesting to see how Earthbound stacks up

I've gotten fairly far in it, never beaten it. I figure now with the amount of times I've blown through Castlevania 1, I should be good to go. haha

Of course I may need to run it on an emulator, since my NES is borked atm.

Nooo!!! That sucks, sorry to hear that :/. But as long as you get to play it that's all that matter . I sadly have not beat the first Castlevania either, but have way less playtime on it than Dracula's Curse so that is likely the reason. Still, it's a really tough game.
