Game 6 - Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3) - 32 Hours

Can't say that I was a huge fan of this game, however there were a few things that it did right. I really need to play GTA V or San Andreas next.

+ The shooting and driving are sooo much better than GTA III, which is the only other GTA game I've played. I also really liked doing the non-mission stuff; like getting little vignettes by talking to random people, and doing all the vigilante cop or racing side missions. It was also really fun to just drive around the city listening to the jazz radio station

- On the other hand, I thought the story was kind of weak. It just didn't grab me or pull me in, and there were so many random bland people that you do missions for then forget about them: it all seems kind of pointless and uninspired. The missions themselves were probably the worst for me, I wish there was a little more variety. It seemed like 90% of them were either "go to this location and chase down/kill everyone there" or "We're attacked at this special event/deal! We have to kill everyone who's in our way!" It got reallly repetitive. Lastly, the social link stuff in my opinion was really dumb. Like many people I didn't care about being forced on dates with my friends, and it got annoying only after a few times.

Back to my list

Just updated... 36 games beaten out of 45 played this year.  I may try to spend this week working on some of the games I gave up on earlier this year.

I'm getting pretty close to needing a 4th post with all of my shenanigans.

19.  Bayonetta 1 ( Wii U) Chp. 10- Man, the learning curve is strong with this game. Golem has given me the most trouble so far, but I've heard the Lumen Sage battle is more difficult. Anyways, despite my difficulties with trying to get good ratings for the stages, I really like the enemy designs and music in the game; story is also fun as well.  I love the hidden Sega references sprinkled throughout the levels as well.

15 - Hyrule Warriors Legends (3DS) - PLAYING - Just started, but I'm gonna be trying to get through this quick.  I have no plans to invest any real time into this version, cause I have a 100 hours invested in the Wii U version with tons of stuff left to do lol Mostly just gonna get through Legends mode for the story.  Sadly can't skip the main story line it seems as I just want to hurry up and get through to the Linkle/Wind Waker story.  The game plays well though, I was surprised.  There are some nice little added features, but then you see stuff they took out, as it seems like there might not be any big boss strikes when you bust their stamina down, just a generic power blast.  Not too big of a deal as it still plays very smoothly.

Finished up Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest last night. This was the first FE game I've played and really enjoyed it. At the time I got so frustrated with trying not to lose any characters I said to myself "Once I beat this game, I'm not playing any of the others". But now that I've actually finished it I'll definitely be playing the others. So good!

16 - Killer Instinct (PC) - PLAYING - Much like Street Fighter 5, it's not something to finish, but I'm gonna be playing this for abit, at least till I decide if I want to buy it or not, since it's free to play, which gives one character to play as and the tutorial stuff to do, which is incredibly challenging.  Learning the advanced mechanics is super tough, though rewarding when you get all these nutsbar combos to chain together.  I'll of course never once get them in a real match, but till then, I'll pretend I'm awesome lol There's actually a lot of leniency to the chaining inputs, where you can sorta spam them to get them out.  Not being so strict is nice compared to combos in Street Fighter which are generally harder I feel.

So far going pretty well I think on my list.  16 games played after three months.  If I continue to be consistent like this, I should make 52 games played.  Not sure about finished games since I kinda have a few games already that aren't things you really beat to have a finished state to them, but I'm mostly just trying to focus on playing games with beating them being secondary.

How would we count add-on content in this list? Like, I'm going through the first of four DLC episodes in Muramasa for the Vita and when all is said and done, will probably have a good 50 hours with them in total.

I probably put about 10-20 hours into the Fallout 4 DLC Automatron, but I just counted it as a sub of Fallout 4.  (Fallout 4 is 26. Automatron is 26.1)

Fair 'nuff. I'll just add Muramasa to the list at some point. I went through the main campaign last year.

[ignition365]

For me it mostly depends, I don't know about Muramasa, but if the DLC is a stand alone experience, then I'd count it.  Not necessarily stand alone content, like Infamous First Light.

I'm trying to think of an example.  Maybe the Bad Blood DLC in Watch Dogs, where I assume your stats from the main campaign doesn't cross over since you are playing as a separate character.  Or some of the DLC in Dead Rising 3?  If the DLC is basically its own story mode, I'd count it.

[kashell]

Basically, Muramasa is divided into the main campaign and then there are four separate chapters called the Genroku Chronicles. Or maybe it's Genroku Chapters. I can't recall. Either way, each one is a side-story that takes place in the same setting but with a new character that uses a variety of different weapons.

The one I'm working on now is Fishy Tales of Nekmoata. You take control of a cat-demon that wants to take revenge on her master's murderers.

Yeah, I'd probably do that separately as Muramasa: Genroku Chronicles/Chapters/Whatevas
