52 games in 2015 - VGCollect Edition

[tafk]

I'm getting pretty close to finishing X-Com Enemy Unknown on PS3 apparently. Also just over halfway through my Co-Op Tales of Symphonia run.

I was struck with a cold for the last couple of days, so I decided to dedicate my recuperating time to Haunting Ground. That's one more game down this year! The review is getting created now.

Coming into this late, but here's mine so far. I'd beat way more games if I didn't get hung up on trying to get all the trophies when playing.

1.) Fairy Fencer F (PS3) - Beaten - Beat this game, but only 50% through the trophies. The game was alright, but after the 5th playthrough, I lost interest.
2.) Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed (Vita) - Completed - Loves this game. Have been considering playing it again for PS3 and PS4 when I get one.
3.) Dragon Fantasy Book 1 (PSN) - Completed - Was a pretty fun game that took me back to my childhood. Mostly played it for nostalgia and trophies.
4.) Senran Kagura Shinovi Verses (Vita) - Completed - I've never been a huge beat-em-up fan, but it was fun enough.
5.) Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1 (Vita) - Beaten - I'm 98% through the trophies. Damn 100 Million Credits trophy.
6.) Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 2 (Vita) - Completed - After beating it months ago, I finally went back and finished up all of the remaining trophies.
7.) Tales of Xillia (PS3) - Beaten - I have a ways to go to platinum this one. It was an okay game. Can't say I'm too motivated to pop it back into my PS3.
8.) Murdered: Soul Suspect (PS3) - Completed - Was a fun change of pace for me and I really enjoyed the murder mystery stoyline.
9.) Moe Chronicle (Vita) - Completed - I was genuinely surprised at how much I enjoyed this game. I jokingly dubbed it my pervert game and will buy the sequel day 1.
10.) Ar NoSurge Plus (Vita) - Completed - I never played the PS3 release for some reason and played this as soon as it came in. Great game, fun story. Will play the PS3 release soon.
11.) Home (PSN) - Completed - Quick and easy game to play and beat. Was another great change of pace and easy completion. Was a great game to play in the dark.
12.) Diablo III Reaper of Souls (PC) - Beaten - I've been a fan of the Diablo series since the first release. This was a hack-n-slash break from RPGs. Fun to play online with friends.

Playing Lost Dimension (Vita) right now and will more than likely start up either Ar NoSurge (PS3) or finish Sword Art Online : Hollow Fragment (Vita).

GAME 28 - Undertale (PC) - 6 Hours Finished
I went in under the heavy weight of the games hype and some slight spoilers, which can really ruin a game sometimes, but generally I found the game to be very clever.  It's a charming little game with some interesting aspects and endearing characters to it.  I ended up getting the neutral ending I guess as I ended up killing one or two characters because I didn't see how to get the pacifist way out of them and thought I HAD to do it.  Not sure exactly if I'll go back for the pacifist ending or not, but it was a sweet game.

Reviews in purple are for games that I have already played (and reviewed) years ago, but felt like revisiting for a change of scenery.

GAME 29 - Fallout 4 (PC) - 96 hours FINISHED
As for being my big game of the year I was craving, the game mostly panned out.  There are a lot of improvements and additions that I really love that make for a way better experience.  On the other hand, things like the bad AI, the more simplified dialog system, and absolutely zero improvements to the inventory/trade menu's, puts a slight damper on the experience, but overall I really liked it.  Of course with a game like this, it still has tons of replay value that I can wait to experience.

[kamikazekeeg]

GAME 30 - Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 (PC) - 7 Hours Playing
This was sort of a random buy, I kinda just wanted something goofy and really Japanese and this is very much that and overall it's not a bad RPG.  On the other hand, I can really tell how much of a grinding nightmare this game likely is.  New areas come quick with a tough boss in each one, but going through the area killing everything will not level you up even close, meaning you have to spend a long while grinding things out.  Not sure if I'll keep playing or not as there's not enough between boss fights to really make it feel like the grinding was worth it.  Might just end up being a back burner game I play every so often when I need a break from other games.

I had seen threads for beaten games, but just "played" games is a great idea too! Especially since a lot of older games don't really have an end. I'll split my list into 2:

Beaten:
??/?? - Super Smash Brothers (3DS/Wii U) (I'm going to consider that unlocking all characters and clearing all game modes is beating it...? Unlocking all trophies and challenges would be 100%-ing it.)
01/?? - Hyrule Warriors (Wii U)
02/15 - The Legend of Zelda (3DS virtual console)
02/22 - Link's Awakening (GB)
03/14 - Minish Cap (3DS virtual console)
03/28 - Super Mario 3D World (Wii U)
03/?? - Mousecraft (PS4)
04/24 - Persona 4: Golden (Vita)
04/26 - Tearaway (Vita)
05/24 - Touch My Katamari (Vita)
06/13 - The Playroom (PS4)
06/22 - Splatoon (Wii U)
06/29 - Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box (DS)
06/29 - Book of Spells (PS3)
07/15 - Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Ultimate Evil Edition (PS4)
10/17 - Pokémon: Alpha Sapphire (3DS)
10/27 - Costume Quest 2 (PS4)
11/28 - Sword Art Online: Lost Song (Vita)


Total beaten/played: 18/41

Just beat Sword Art Online Lost Song yesterday!  I'm going to go for a 100% completion on it though, so it's most probably my last completed game of the year.
