52 Games Challenge *2016*

[tafk]

I think I finished my first game last night by beating South Park the Stick of Truth (PS3)

I should write a review/make a video. Maybe I'll do that!

Beat game 46, Assassin's Creed III.  Was going to jump into Assassin's Creed IV, but then I checked about Assassin's Creed III: Liberation.  So Liberation will be my next game.  But I've decided that since I disliked AC3 so much, that I'm going to force myself to do some of the side content to see if it sways me any before I jump into Liberation.

Cleared two more games recently:

23. Sound of Drop - fall into poison - [steam]: 3/5, 11-12 hours
Neat horror VN, I like the water theme. There's some scary stuff in there :x

24. Arc the Lad [PS1C]: 3/5, ~11 hours
Not that great, but good enough to keep my interest for the sequels. Also, it's always kinda refreshing when a jRPG isn't 40 hours+ long.

Yesterday, I finished Nights of Azure. I've still got work to do before I get the platinum, but I can at least get a review going.

Game 10 - Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly (PS3) - 9.5 Hours

Very interesting game, and it does a lot of neat things. My game froze during the credits, so I didn't get to see all of the end, but nonetheless!

+ First of all, I really enjoyed the story, I thought it was well paced and nicely conveyed without being too obvious. I liked the dark atmosphere and decrepit buildings that you get to explore. It was also really fun to search for ghosts and read background information about the village (even though there was a little too much). Also, the game was very scary for me, with some great moments and enemies to fight. The game handles jump scares and overall anxiety incredibly well. The camera was a cool and unique way to fight bosses and uncover secrets.

- Even though it was scary, the game was far too easy. I had sooo many health items and ammunition after I finished, and you are forced to play normal as the highest difficulty from starting the game. The filament on the camera gives you too much information about where the position and location of the ghost is (I wish it was like SH2 and you just had radio static). The controls were also atrocious. Since the game is all fixed camera angles that change all the time, having your movement based on where the camera is means the you change directions mid run and go a different direction each time the camera changes. It should have been like again, in SH2, where pushing up in the stick always moves James forward no matter where the camera is positioned.

Just finished up Tales of Graces f. Wow. What a journey that was. Definitely among the very best of the games I've played so far this year. A really satisfying game the whole way through. In particular, the CC system was really great. Perhaps one of the best implemented battle systems out of all the action-RPGs I've had the pleasure of playing. The only minor complaint I had was that the dungeon puzzles were a bit lacking compared to others in the Tales series, but they got more interesting towards the end anyways. I would wholeheartedly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys a good RPG.

Latest review. Going to kick things into high gear with playing more games this summer.

19. Unreal Tournament (Dreamcast): The best way to describe my experience with this game is to compare it to the Dreamcast port of Quake III Arena. Quake 3, while missing a lot of content compared to it's PC port is a very purest experience, playing very similar to it's PC counterpart. Unreal is also missing a lot of content compared to the PC version, but plays very different from its PC counterpart. Unreal on the Dreamcast played more similar to Goldeneye or Perfect Dark, complete with auto aim, and fewer bots which I feel worked way better for the console port of this game, versus Quake 3's approach of releasing a PC optimized game on a console which made the game very difficult to play. It's a tough trade off, but in the end I enjoyed Unreal for what it was on the Dreamcast, albeit an almost entirely different game than the PC version, for better and worse.

Finally, my page is about up to date. Reviews have been added for Nights of Azure, Galerians and Panzer Dragoon Saga. I finished Kirby's Avalanche over the weekend, too. A review is currently in the works.

19 - Uncharted 4 (PS4) - 12 Hours FINISHED - Rented the game and found it to be a very enjoyable experience.  Incredibly solid story, characters, acting, all of that.  Combat still doesn't feel like it's 100% what it should be, but Uncharted has always been a little on the weaker side for that.  Naughty Dog didn't really get it down right till The Last of Us.  Great game though.

Game 11 - R.C Pro Am II  (XBox One) ~ 5 Hours

This game was really really fun; another great game in the Rare Replay collection. It's got great graphics, strong gameplay and really catchy music and sound effects. I like how you can purchase parts and upgrade your vehicle how you want, unlike the first game. Overall it was a really fun experience. It is a little easy on the XBox cause you can use rewinding and saving at anytime you want  You don't have to do that though if you want the true-to-life experience of the original.

I'm going to be busy. @_@

I finished both Snatcher and The Bouncer. Obviously, there's lots of incentive to replay The Bouncer due to the way the story pans out, but we'll see. Valkyria Chronicles comes out next week so that might take my attention. Reviews are on the second page of this topic.

6) Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time (PS3)

Been meaning to finish off my remaining PS3 R&C games for awhile, really happy to have done so, this one was classic R&C even down to an arena with multiple challenges. Little else to be said.

25. Dino Crisis [PS1C]: 4/5, ~7 hours
As a RE fan, I've always been curious about this series. As similar as it is compared to RE, it's interesting to see where the differences lie. Neat game and I'll probably play the sequel soon.
26. Gears of War Ultimate Edition [XBO]: 2/5, ~12 hours
Having never played a Gears game before, I don't think this one holds up particulary well. Too many samey looking areas, not enough variety. Oh well, still enjoyed shooting some stuff.
27. Nano Assault EX [3DS]: 3/5, 3 hours and 21 minutes
Short, but very enjoyable. There are also some extra modes which I'll probably check out.


Halfway there!
