Title: Recently completed/finished
Post by: desocietas on September 05, 2011, 02:32:40 pm
I know we've all got backlogs... so it's that much sweeter when a game is finished. You get to cross it off the backlog list and put it away knowing that you've put in your due time to "finish" the game.
Just finished Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes! A little over 163 hours... So glad I hadn't accidentally recycled the game (as I originally feared)...
I think the next one I'm jonesing for might be Baten Kaitos, but not being able to play it in bed might be difficult...

the most recent finish is final fantasy xiii. I am making my way through ffiv right now. I think I'm almost done. I was going through my backlog today and its not too to bad.
I do want to pick up deus ex and dead island though.

I think the latest game that I've actually finished was Dragon Age II. Though I haven't gotten the DLC pack for it yet. I'm currently playing through Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, which is actually pretty good. I was worried about it when I started, since at first it didn't feel very Castlevania.

I've yet to break through the 20-hour-tolerance line people have set up for XIII (give it 20 hours before you start expecting to "enjoy" the game)... even though the boyf picked it up for me pre-release from a gaming conference. :\ Bad FF fan...

I agree, it's a hard one to pick up. I was playing it for a while and dropped it for months. I started again and then I hit that part where it becomes enjoyable and didn't drop it until I was done :p

I recently completed Chrono Trigger (PS1) for the first time, then I beat Zelda 3DS (not the Master Quest yet), and today I finished off Rayman 3D (meh).
Title: Re: Recently completed/finished
Post by: scott on September 11, 2011, 03:26:03 am
Polished off the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow dlc. Kinda "meh" and stupid frustrating... not really worth the price, so wait for a special price event. Some of the puzzles were good, but the 1st is only 3 levels with no boss. And the second is really only 1 level plus 1 "level" where you're fighting the boss. All the cut scenes are not in game, rather animated graphic novel style and they really detract from the flow.
Anyways, on to something else!

It's been awhile back now, but I beat Red Dead Redemption with the Completionist achievement, which is beating the game 100%, every outfit, every gun etc etc. Truly a shining moment when you see that achievement pop up.
Also, I beat Ocarina of Time on my 3DS for the first time ever. I didn't have a N64 as a kid, I had a Saturn and my friends had the 64, so I never felt the need to have one. I had tried playing OoT on the Gamecube when they released the Special Edition disc that had the game on it, but the graphics were so far behind the then current titles, it was kinda distracting to play, so I didn't get very far at all. When I learned it was coming to 3DS I about lost it. A lot of my friends had given me shit for never having beaten "one of the greatest games of all time". After having finished it, I can truly say I agree 100% on all facets that OoT is one of the best games ever created. The graphical overhaul and addition of 3D were certainly an awesome addition to an already wonderful game.
Also, I beat Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars for 3DS a couple months ago, and that was a really good playthrough.

Just finished Castlevania: Rondo of Blood on PSP with the best ending... only took me 4 years to get around to it... I will say that the Shaft fight was way tougher than the Dracula fight. Drac pretty much just lets you whip his ass to death compared to some of the other boss fights in the game. ha

Post by: amauriel on September 20, 2011, 03:00:13 pm
@brettybluevein: I never had a PlayStation until a friend gave me one when he got his slim PS2. So my husband gives me crap at least once every month or so about never playing Final Fantasy VII...I've tried several times, and I just don't have the nostalgia for the game that he does, so it's so hard for me to get into. Even though I love, love, LOVE OoT, I can see someone not picking it up or giving it a chance pre-3DS, based on the graphics alone.
What's funny is that I think I want a remake of VII more than the fanboys, so that I have a chance to really sink my teeth into it.

I finished Ghostbusters: The Video Game (PC) last night, and while I did enjoy most of it, Bill Murray and Alyssa Milano sounded asleep half the time, William Atherton was completely out of it (I didn't realize it was him until the credits rolled!) the game's difficulty is completely unbalanced in several areas, and I still hate the dev.
But it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. The script was interesting, Aykroyd, Ramis and Hudson are STILL excellent actors. The graphics were okay, but the physics were a bit buggy. Not Alone In The Dark bad, but still buggy.
Eh.

Finished Metro 2033 the other day. Gotta say, I was expecting a interactive benchmark and I got a really good game. Took me a while to get into it, but at some point (have no idea when it happened) I was just teeming with anticipation to finish it and see the ending.

I finally beat Borderlands: The Secret Armory of General Knoxx yesterday. Well, beat Knoxx. I still have to kill Crawmerax. Alone.
And today I finished Ben There, Dan That on the PC. The ending left a lot of things... not quite explained so I guess I'll have to play the sequel now.

I play too many games as I completed a couple last week: Gears of War 3 and X-Men Destiny. Not sure what I think of Gears. I don't play too much multiplayer on consoles and always feel like most games are overrated by the major media outlets. It was fine, well made, just nothing new. X-Men Destiny is a below average game. Very repetitive combat and bland levels. Also finished Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Driver: San Francisco recently. Deus Ex was quite good and Driver: San Francisco surprised me. I had never played a Driver game before and although the story and ending were weak, I had a lot of fun just driving around the city doing stunts and various other side events.

Yeah, I haven't done much with the sequel yet, but I enjoyed the first one. Have you heard that they've patched it with new visuals or something? I haven't looked for myself yet...

Yep, most of the new additions were to the backgrounds, and a much improved font. The game isn't as polished as the sequel, but it's pretty close.

Ha, well, I have a PC for gaming, so I'm set (hoping the achievements are fixed with updates)... but that sucks for some folk.
I think I paid something like $2.50 for the pair, but yeah, fun stuff! Steam has so many deals, I can't keep up with it!

I hate the fact that Ubisoft never released this on the PC. :(
So I finished Emerald City Confidential (PC) today. It's an adventure game that I bought during last year's Steam sale. The story was decent, the voice acting was awesome, and 95% of the puzzles were good for an average player (except for one that went right over my head.)
I'm not sure what to play now.

I hate that it still has a freeze up bug in it, it locked up on me twice in a row last night, once during the final boss. BTW, I finished all the achievements on Scott Pilgrim today, including the DLC. One of them required 4 play-throughs in order to get too... Luckily I figured out how to power-level the characters to max level and burn through it.

Completed 5-6 playthroughs of Guardian Heroes, super fun game, I'm sure if I had it on Saturn it would be one of the most played.
Most of the achievements are pretty simple, I polished off all but 3 of them tonight. The left overs require unlocking characters, viewing all endings and the tough job of beating it on hard w/o dying (fun!)

I guess it's short since it just got released yesterday. I plan on getting it but there are so many other games to play this time of year. Also doesn't help that I'm down to 1.8GB on my hard drive and that game is almost a gig. It's a game I'd wanted to get when I was still playing my Saturn. I got my Saturn late though and at that point a lot of stores had dropped it.

Just finished the story in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood the other day, now I can finally unseal Assassin's Creed: Revelations. Of course I haven't done everything in Brotherhood yet, but I'll go back to it in a bit. I also am plaything through both Diablo and Diablo II again, to help get my fix until Diablo III releases. I'm currently in level 14 of Hell and should be finished with Diablo again soon.

Let's do a little necromancy and bring this topic back from the dead!
*wiggles fingers*
Just beat Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. Such a good game, its a little bit short but I'm fine with it. Cause it didn't seem like you were doing anything pointless.
The only thing I don't get is, when you go to the hidden area that the mercenaries don't know exists, why are they there shooting at you? It makes no sense.
I do wish it had more exploring and less pew-pew. But it scratches my archeology itch.

I don't get it. Guardian Heroes, I mean. It's such a beloved Saturn game. But I'm not a fan of it. And I am a fan of old-school beat-em ups. The back and forth between the foreground and background I didn't find to be innovative or fun at all. I found it just became tedious and annoying after a while. I think I'm the only person to play this game, and not fall in love with it.

Finished The Last of Us last night. The characters are the best part of the game, they are about as close to real as a character can get in a game and the voice acting is quite good. Combat can be a little frustrating sometimes as I'm not always patient when it comes to stealth. Also, it would have been nice to have multiple endings as I don't know that I would have done what the protagonist does given the choice. The game looks great but level design is mostly what you'd expect. Lots of blocked pathways, especially staircases forcing you to go up or down one floor at a time and then search the current floor for another way up/down. One thing that surprised me is how far the characters travel as the chapters jump between some distant locations. There are certainly many opportunities for DLC to fill in what the characters were up to when you weren't controlling them.
The biggest disappointment is that I missed a lot of conversations. For a while I wasn't paying attention and didn't realize characters often get conversation markers above their heads. I kept moving forward and looking at the ground for crafting materials, rarely would I look backwards where the other characters were. I missed many items too despite searching around often. These are my results:
62/85 artifacts 11/30 pendants 7/12 manuals 8/14 comic books 18/37 conversations Opened 6 locked doors (not sure how many there are) and found all five tools.

The Last of Us? I started it on Saturday and it took me 15 hours and 39 minutes on normal difficulty. That's a decent length, I just played a lot over the weekend. Finishing unlocks a new game+ mode that must carry over the weapon and character upgrades because you can't reach the trophies for those on one play through. I think that's a good length though it will certainly vary based on how much time is spent looking for crafting materials.

Heh I hated leveling FF2. It was simply a miserable experience. Without doubt, has to be one of the worst pre-PS2 FF games out there. Ive played FF1 on all 3 available options and I have to say I liked the Origins one the best however.

So i've finished FF1 on NES and FF2 on PS1. I'm saving 3 for later since it was only released on handhelds in the US. Next is FFIV (II) on the snes.

If you have not played them already, you are going to be in for a surprise with IV, VI, and VII. V was kind of meh ... I didnt mind it per se but it was pretty weak compared to those 3 that surrounded it. VIII kind of bored me too. Its been a while but all I can remember was trying to learn how to do something for hours and not quite ever getting it done and just gave up. If you dont play 3 early on, you arent going to enjoy it later. It really does belong early in the series. Its bland and closely resembles the first one. And Mystic quest is definitely a beginner style of game. No real exploration or anything. The tactics line is not my cup of tea at all. I dont like chess type battle scenes.

Captain America: Super Soldier for XBox 360.
Not bad, especially for a movie-based game. It was nothing ground-breaking, but it was fun to play and had a little more polish than most movie-based games.
What's cool about it, is that it's a prequel to the movie rather than playing through the movie story.

I've beaten Bioshock Infinite and The Last of Us over the past 2-3 weeks. Both are GOTY contenders in my book. I don't really know which one I prefer over the other as they are both so stark in contrast. However, I can safely say that I doubt I'll find something as amazing this year.

Last of us is definitely on my radar, and I need to get it soon. I'm also kinda intrigued by Beyond: Two Souls. But I'm not sure I want to get it preordered until I read more on it.
Also, continuing on my PS3 conquest, I'll be running through either the Infamous or Resistance series next. I'm not sure what to do tho. I just finished like 30 hours of platforming tho, so maybe an fps will keep things fresher.

I recently finished 2 WWE Wrestling games for the XBox 360.
FANTASTIC wrestling game. I could be a little biased since The Attitude Era is my favorite WWF/E era. But that was, BY FAR, the highlight of this game.
The storyline follows the birth of the WWF Attitude Era. Starting with the birth and formation of D-X, followed by the Austin Era, then the rise of The Rock, and then the Brothers of Destruction (Undertaker and Kane), followed by the many faces of Mick Foley, and finally the lead up to and the actual WrestleMania XV. After you beat all that, you then unlock a sort of "middle-card" storyline of the time right after WM XV. There is also a sort of "be the booker" mode called My WWE Universe. It looks neat, but also VERY detailed and in-depth; so it'll be something I'll have to come back to because I've had my wrestling game fill for the moment.
What's great, is the game give great detail and background on this history and these matches, including video. So if you want to relive The Attitude Era, this is a fantastic way to do so. And, actually, it's better than the recent "Attitude Era" DVD WWE recently put out (which is a shame).
The controls are bit button-mashy, which I've seen complaints about online, but it's not that bad. You get used to it, real fast. I mean, it's not like it's WWE: Legends of WrestleMania; which brings me too...
The game recreates matches and storylines from WrestleMania I thought XV. There are 3 ways you can play them: Relive (recreate), Rewrite (change history), Redife (whatever you want, as long as you win the match). I played through all 3. There is also a "climb the ranks" sort of deal, like the old PS1/N64 wrestling games, called "Legend Killer", but you have to use a created wrestler, not an actual roster wrestler. I played through it, I didn't play through all 60+ opponent, but just short of that I earned all the medal/trophies.
What I loved about the game was the fan-service. The history they put in the game including video shorts that would show actual video of the build-up to matches, and of the actual match-highlights before you'd play the match. The roster of classic WWF wrestlers was great, too, including alternate costumes. And lots of different match types and areans to battle in.
What I hated was the controls. A button-mashing mess. People complain about WWE '13 being to button-mashy, it's got nothing on Legends of WrestleMania. I was practically slapping the action-buttons on my XBox 360 controller half the time. It really makes your hand tired after long-play sessions.

So much fun! I loved the added content, the voice-overs, and new renditions of the music. And the controls were spot-on, something I feared for before playing it. And dang is that chase sequence hard at the end. A lot harder than a simple rope climb like in the first one. A lot more attention to detail in this one, than the original, as well.
It's totally worth playing through both the original and this remake. They really do feel like 2 totally different games in the same franchise, even though many areas are very familiar.
I want to see a lot more remastered 2D classics like this!

I've tried telling people that for years. I still need to finish it, but when I was playing it I couldn't set it down.
It's damn good until you get to the areas were there is absolutely nowhere to land, it's all radiation and enemies are still firing at you. That's just frustratingly hard!

I saw gameplay for it, but it bothered me that there were different voice actors. I think that's kind of weird though, because normally I don't care if it's a different voice actor.

finished Dragon's Dogma on the PS3 the game had a few flaws - no fast travel redraw rate was not the best story was a little poor pawns would not SHUT UP and they were a little dumb sadly i found a glitch on the final boss and had to restart my system (pawn would not grab the boss which was the only was to get the final blow)
but i really enjoyed this game. the combat system was great i would advise you to play it.

So, just last night, I just beat/finished/Platinumed the PSN/Digital-only; turn-based RPG...
..."Rainbow Moon".
IMO, it's a 7/10 game.
You all know the type...the kind that's extremely easy & intuitive to just jump into/pick-up-n-play -but- has lots of strategy that can be exploited for those who wish to do so.
Value for $ spent is great, though - there's SO much content :o
I just may have enough post-game & post-plat stuff to do to last me until next week when I'm sucked into, body & soul...Disgaea D-2: A Brighter Darkness...I'm *SO* looking forward to getting & playing this game ;D

I played the original XBox version when it first came out. But it's been so long, and I've had the XBox 360 version just sitting in my collection for a while after a friend gave it to me when he was moving.
So I decided to pop it in and play through it.
It gave me a huge glitch. Apparantly it's known to erase unlocked data if your XBox Live becomes disconnected and reconnects again. That's what happened to me. I lost some unlocked costumes as well as the Dr. Strange as a playable character. Which also mean wasted experience points respent on stuff I already spent it on.
Other than that annoyance, though, it was a blast to play through. And I swear there was some added content vs. the original XBox version that I didn't remember playing through. But it's also been so long, that I could've just forgotten. It has a very Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance feel to the gameplay, which I like a lot. Lots of unlockables. And it gives a lot of fan-service to the comic readers.
I tried to get into Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. I have the PS2 version. And I just couldn't. I don't know if having the PS2 is what the problem is, or if all the releases feel as cheap and lazy as the PS2 version does. It just doesn't have the same amount of effort put into it as the first one did. Poor voice-acting. Almost non-existant music. Bad movie-scenes. And they ruined the power-ups and item upgrades. I have no desire to finish it.

Very short. Beat it in an hour or two. But also pretty dang fun. Definetly worth the $5 I picked it up for.
I didn't use the Crossbow accessory, though, just the regular Wii Mote and Nunchuk.
I have this one. I hated the controls on the part where you have to guide Link through places. They were so bad. The actual shooting parts were pretty cool though.

Absolutely fantastic Batman game that manages to beat the first one, even. There's just so much to do, explore, and find. And the way Batman moves around the city with the glide-cape and grappling hook combination is just so satisfying to use. So much comic-related goodies to find and unlock, too. It really pays a lot of fan-service to fans of the Batman comics, including lots of Batman's Rogue's gallery showing up to face off against. Plus you get to play as Catwoman and Robin, as well. And oh man, the graphics and general atmosphere the game protrayed was so Gotham City...so Batman. It was fantastic!
However, the one area where Arkham Asylum was better, was the storyline. Asylum felt more tight, focused, and story-driven; and it really felt like I had just read a great Batman graphic novel, when I was finished. Arkham City still had a great Batman tale to tell, but it wasn't as tight and focused as the story was in the Arkham Asylum, so it just didn't come off as impactful.
GTA V, been playing the game for almost a solid month on and off, hit about the 80% completion range. I think I'm done with my time in Los Santos until a story driven DLC comes out. I can't be bothered to collect all the UFO parts or serial killer letters, that's just way too time consuming and too many games in my backlog to play... Overall awesome game, probably my game of the year along with The Last of Us.
GTA Online, think I'll pass, that's dangerous territory for me, I'll just invest too much time in it and forget about my other games I want to play. :P

Interesting game. But very, very strange, too. The premise involves evolution. You start as a fish and then grind by eating other creatures (real-time, not turn-based) to gain "evolve points." You then level-up after gaining a certain amount of them, and every time you level-up you can decide to evolve a certain part of your body. It is VERY grindy, though.
There are different areas, each with a number of stages. Each era represents a different era in Earth's history such as the Ocean Age, the Amphibian Age, the Dinosaur Age, the Ice Age, etc. And in each area you are a different kind of creature, representative of that era.

Just finished replaying the first God of War, but the HD collection release this time. I remembered a few frustrations the last time, but this time around... eek. It's not exactly that I hated it, but between the obnoxiously bad camera in some spots (esp. the final boss fight w/ Ares), the analog stick QTE during the Minotaur fight, the momentary lapse between animations when coming out of a dodge and trying to block or dodge again, the moments of "where the fuck am I supposed to be going?" and other gripes, I was really kinda glad to knock this one out.
I started God of War II shortly after, but I think I'm going to start something else tonight. Might be time to give the poor neglected Wii some time, starting with Twilight Princess, or maybe Xenoblade.

I always wanted this game ever since I saw it in Nintendo Power. I never did see it at rental places or any stores. I think it was about a year ago I found this game for $40 (I think), so I grabbed it. Then I found it again for $20 about a week later. I gave that one to my brother. Anyway, I loved it. It was odd, strange, and weird; but it was a lot of fun. I'm going give it a playthrough again before too long.

Title: Re: Recently completed/finished
Post by: foxhack on November 30, 2013, 02:10:33 pm
I completed both Beast Boxing Turbo (PC / Steam) and The Shivah - Kosher Edition (PC / Steam) over the week, both with 100% achievements. (Well, Beast Boxing is missing one because of a bug, but I'll get it as soon as the dev fixes it.)
Beast Boxing Turbo is a boxing game heavily inspired by Punch-Out. It's really fun but also really, really easy if you're a veteran of the series.
The Shivah... well, it's an adventure game. You're a Rabbi who's having a crisis of faith of sorts. He ends up receiving an inheritance from a man he once despised so he starts looking into his death. And the story unravels from there. The game's pretty short and can be beaten in an hour but it's got some truly amazing writing.
Edit: Well, I guess you could say I also completed Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout on Ps1. That's a horrible game. HORRIBLE. I didn't even GET AN ENDING FOR BEATING THE GAME. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH

Well, if anything, the DQ IX features they were using with the DS's streetpass features were pretty interesting. I put in a *lot* of time with that game. Sounds like they're doing a similar thing with VII for the 3DS.

A lot of people on the Dragon's den expect that DQ VII 3DS will be brought over. DQ VIII did sell well actually. Was one of the best received PS2 games period. Squenix as a company just doesnt seem to care anymore about bringing anything over here anymore other than the horrible FF sequels.

Phones are popular, that's all there really is to it. When DQ came out the teaser website (with a link to the app store pages) and the server that DQ Portal uses (the app you launch the DQ remake from) were so overloaded they simply didn't work! It took half an hour even at midnight (Japan time) before I got through and that was nothing more than luck :)

As for me, I actually got that and Super Mario 3D World at the same time, and after doing 2 worlds of SM3DW, I started playing Zelda and other than during work I played it nonstop, only touching Mario again once I got done with Zelda. So that would explain my "quick" playtime.

I can never get all of the streetpass stuff since I live in a small town in Idaho, and the only other thing I am missing is getting 999.99 seconds on the Cucco minigame to get the giant Cucco which even the people working at Nintendo could not accomplish. It is an awesome game and probably makes my top 3-5 Zelda games. The only thing I was worried about was that the game would feel to much like A Link to the Past, but that was not an issue and the game was a lot of fun. The game also holds your hand a lot less and lets you explore and complete dungeons in any order you want. It was a tad on the easy side, but I highly recommend it if you own a 3DS.

New Super Mario Bros. 2 (3DS) (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61dw7ucC24L._SX300_.jpg)
I just beat New Super Mario Bros. 2. But I'm far from finished with it. I still have to unlock the hidden worlds. But I did defeat Bowser.
Great Mario game. I've heard a lot people say it just feels like more of the same. I don't agree. The coin focus really adds a whole new layer to the gameplay and adds a TON of replayability (as if Mario games already didn't have enough). Great classic 2D gameplay, but it looks gorgeous with the 3DS XL screen and the 3D graphics turned on. It was a ton of fun that I just couldn't put down, and I plan on going back for more.
If you have a 3DS, you MUST own this game.
Now I'm going on to conquer "The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds" for 3DS. So far, it's one of the best Zelda games I've played in years. It's good to be a 3DS owner.

"Finished" FEZ the other night (after staying up way too late during my vacation to play), but as Foxhack probably knows, getting the credits means nothing close to actually "finishing" this game. I really want to complete it as much as I can without a guide, but some of the puzzles are really getting me. It's oh so satisfying, though, when you figure out some of those puzzles that have been staring you in the face the whole game.

I finished Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon today with all the gems and boos. I liked this one, but I still had a lot more fun with the first game. The new mission based format takes away one of my favorite parts, exploring the mansion. Other than that though the game is great and I love the online multiplayer. Plus it took me 24 hours to collect everything which is nice since I can beat the first game in an afternoon. I don't know if I am going to go back and get three stars on each mission and catch all of the online ghosts, so I am done playing for now and may come back to it later.

Just did a five star completion run on New Super Mario Bros 2. The only thing I did not do is get a million coins because I am not insane going through all that work for a new title screen. The focus on coins in the game made the game feel familiar, but fresh. I can understand how some people are getting tired of NSMB, but I think part of its purpose is to be the same. The 3D games continue to innovate and change up the formula while NSMB keeps the classic Mario platforming alive in the new generation of video games. My only complaint with the game was with so many coins extra lives add up quick and makes the game super easy. I think it would be better to make the coin requirements for an extra life higher to offset all the coins you get. I have no other problems with the game and highly recommend it!
I should slow down on the amount of games I beat now that Winter break is over :'(

Finished Attack of the Friday Monsters! last night after about 3 hours or so of gametime. There's some post-game stuff, but it's still a short game overall. I wish it were longer, but the game was made well and looked great. The Guild games are supposed to be experiments, I think, so the short gameplay time isn't too terrible, especially since I got it for $5.

I just beat The Legend of Zelda: Link Between Worlds. You guys have probably all read a dozen different reviews on this game recently, so there's really nothing I can add that those reviews haven't already covered except: This is a FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC Zelda adventure that any Zelda fan, especially old-school fans, will fall-in-love with. Get it.

Just beat the story mode of WWE 2K14, the "30 Years of WrestleMania" mode.
Pretty fun. Set-up just like WWE '13's Attitude Era mode. But it did feel a little copy & paste from WWE '13, and not quite as much TLC put into it. But you'll still get plenty of enjoyment out of it if you're a wrestling fan, or an old one feeling nostalgic. It spans from the Hulkamania era all the way to this very last WrestleMania.

LEGO Star Wars III. Played it for 12 hours once a week and finished it 100% in 4. Frustrating working around all those glitches. some of them are just hilarious though. such as half the floor disappearing in the mini kit bay after leaving the elevator or the entire droid transport ship disappearing after same action.

Heh - Funny that you should say that!
I was also very late to the party with playing both FF VII and Chrono Trigger.
I didn't get around to playing FF VII until around 2010 or 2011 (and, IMO I thought that it was a pretty over-rated game).
Don't get me wrong - I played it all the way through & I didn't actually *Hate* the game, or anything -and- I'll freely admit that had I played it when it 1st came out & while it was still fresh...I may have very well thought a lot more of the game.
Again, IMO...I honestly would rate FF VII somewhere between a 6 and a 7.
As for Chrono Trigger...
...As many of you here will remember - I decided (at *Literally*) the last possible second to evacuate & leave my house an hour or 2 in front of that Bitch SANDY, and drove about 100 miles north (still in Jersey, though) to stay at my sister's house for a day or two.
Anyway...I'd fully charged & grabbed my DSi-XL, my PSP, and a couple of games for each.
I started playing Chrono Trigger then/there (the DS version) and I had (just about as much) fun as I'll ever have playing on a Hand-held.
I own a bunch and I own a ton of games for 'em...but...for me, Hand-helds are strictly my least favorite & "Last Resort" choice for playing games on.
So, once I got back home a day or 2 later - I put down the DS version & started from the beginning playing the PS1 version on my PS3.
I liked it better than FF VII and would probably rate it at about an 8/10.
Which version(s) did you play & how did you like the game?

Post by: mkarasch on January 18, 2014, 02:22:30 pm
Just finished GTA V story mode, and most of the side missions. The story, while goofy, kept me interested, and was WAY better than GTA IV.
One thing I've noticed is that the game has gotten so large and complex, that there are parts of the game that one could completely miss. As an example, you can still do Taxi missions if you want. I mean, at no point in the game does it tell you so, but I needed a "nondescript" getaway car for a mission, and i thought, "Hey! Taxi! That's pretty non-descript" so I called the cab company (something that also isn't mentioned in game), jacked the taxi that showed up, and then the menu for the taxi missions showed up.
Don't get me wrong, it's not some amazing game mode that everyone needs to see, it just leaves me to wonder what else I might have missed in the game.
There were still a few minor annoyances: I stumbled across the flight school while near the airport, and so I did all the flight school missions with Trevor, only to find out later that I needed to do them all again with Michael. Would have been nice to get a heads up on that. Or leave it locked or something until that mission.
Also, no spoilers, but you can play the stock market in game, and you get some pretty solid tips throughout side missions. In retrospect, I wish I had completed every other mission first, so I had LOADS of cash to invest when I got those tips.
I also thought the "random bystander" missions were interesting. Someone would get robbed or something, and you could choose whether or not to help them. What was neat was that there was no moral certainty to your choice. Many times, you could kill the robber, and just take the money and run, with no consequence. Occasionally, when I would return the stolen stuff, I'd get a minor portion back as a reward, or an email with a little reward. It was a natural feeling mechanic where you *might* get rewarded, and might not, and were left to your own devices.
I'm totally done with full game collection missions. Maybe that tickles someone else's fancy, but not mine. I liked the mechanic in ACII where picking up the hidden stuff would unlock weapons, but the "collect for the sake of collecting," no TY.
Haven't touched online yet.
Overall, I really enjoyed the experience, story, characters, etc.

Which version(s) did you play & how did you like the game?
I am not a huge handheld person either, but I do go through phases (actually in one at the moment) where I love playing handhelds.
But back to Chrono Trigger lol. I own all three released if it (PS1, SNES, and DS) and decided I'd play the original cart on the SNES. I thought it was very good in just about every way. There were several things that felt sort of dated, but overall the game still stands up very, very well and possesses a charm and sense of character seen in very few games. It was a blast and thus far it is my favorite SNES RPG.
I got my first SNES back in 1995, however I only played and owned platformers ad action games on. So I definitely didn't start playing games like Secret of Mana, FFIII, and Chrono Trigger until much later. I actually didn't get into RPGs until around 2000 with FFVII being my first. Part of the reason I love FFVII so much is partially because it was my first RPG, but also it has an incredible story and just about everything else is awesome. The only thing that hasn't aged well are the graphics, but I definitely am not a graphics snob lol. I can see where the FFVII is overrated crowd is coming from, but I personally think it is most deserving of its laudable reputation.
And burningdoom, I killed Magus. Lol, couldn't allow him to get away with what he did to Frog.

I beat Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara last night, the Xbox Live Arcade version. Both the Tower of Doom and Shadow Over Mystara. And no, I didn't do it on one continue.
Both are pretty short, which is to be expected from a beat-em up. But there was a lot more going on here than your average beat-em up. Light-RPG elements. Item usage. Equipment pick-ups. Magic spells (for magic-users). And even a couple special moves. And each playable character felt unique to play as with their own set of specials and different feel to their movements. Very nice looking 2D graphics, too. A lot to like here.
Highly recommended for fans of Golden Axe or Cadash.

This idea came from a collector "NinjaBearHug". Beat 52 games in 2014. I'm getting to this a few weeks late since I just heard about it. A lot of us have hit goals in collecting games. But we have difficulty hitting goals in gaming. This is to designed to help that. Beat 52 games in a year.
Each time you beat a game in 2014: post it here. In theory snap a picture of the end screen. I realize this can be difficult in some cases (virtual boy). But try.

It's pretty much like The Walking Dead. Walk around, watch/pick up different things, QTE's. I liked it though, I'd recommend it to anyone. About the controls I don't know, I jumped straight into the game. But it's short, so if it hadn't been free during the countdown sale I would've waited until all episodes were out.

inFAMOUS: Festival of Blood- Very Fun little spin-off
DMC- the story was Crap even though it seemed like they took half of it from They Live, and I was annoyed with the ending. Vergil was the only Character Redesign I actually liked. I found the controls for platforming awkward at times and the music to me was Meh. however I will admit the combat was fairly fun and it was a lot easier to obtain S, SS, and SSS. This was a reboot that didn't need to happen and I'm sorry but that thing is not Dante, and I'm still not a fan of Ninja theory.

I beat Aliens: Colonial Marines on the PS3 last night, and quite honestly I do not see where all the hate from reviewers come from. Sure it is no Call of Duty in terms of polish, but it was by no means as poorly made and unplayable game as many review sites claimed it was. Don't get me wrong, the game has a lot of bugs, and the graphics at time, specifically the character models for both the humans and xenos, can be meh at times, but it was an enjoyable, playable game for the most part. It was no buggier that Skyrim when it came out, yet critics praised it up and down despite their being several mission breaking bugs and weird texture problems. If you are a fan of the Alien franchise, you'll probably be able to enjoy it, I know I did :)

I just beat Shin Megami Tensei 4 this morning. At 56 hours, I haven't played an RPG for that long in a while. I can finally start Bravely Default, except my girlfriend just beat Link Between Worlds and is eyeing it up :(

I actually meant to talk about it more before but got lazy lol.
I played through the game on normal difficulty for the first 25 hours because I'm stubborn. That 25 hours did not include all those times I got wiped out in one turn and reset the game to load my last save. It's incredibly brutal on normal so you'll be saving quite often. Once I finally admitted to myself I wasn't proving anything, I died twice and got the option to lower the difficulty. The game was much more enjoyable then. It's a good game that requires a lot of tactics, but it's very long. Tons of demons to collect and fuse, and if you're a completionist like I tend to be, you'll want to recruit all the demons. The story was good, especially towards the end!
All in all, I really enjoyed the game. But I've enjoyed previous SMT games so this wasn't much of a surprise. My advice for anyone wanting to play the game is put it on easy right from the get go, and get the pinpoint auto attack ability as soon as possible.

I was the opposite, I enjoyed LoS MUCH more than MoF. Pretty much the main reason to play MoF IMO is for the story - the gameplay is serviceable but doesn't stand out, especially when compared to past 2D "Metroidvania" style games in the series.
EDIT:
Oh, and I mentioned it in the "now playing" thread because I forgot about this one, but I beat DMC last night (well...technically this morning). I loved it, you can tell Ninja Theory really had a love for the source material. Probably my only real complaint is that there are too many areas where the path splits, and if you start down the "correct" one it will block you off from backtracking & seeing what was down the other. I like to explore, so this was a little annoying. Still, minor complaint overall. So now I'm at 5 for the year:
1. Bioshock Infinite: Burial At Sea Pt. 1 2. Bravely Default demo 3. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night 4. Y's: Memories of Celceta 5. DMC

Is that the one where you have to very selectively use your Crash Bombs? Yeah, I hate that one, too. One small mistake, and it's not possible to beat the boss.

That's funny. I found the gameplay to be enjoyable, but it seemed a little short. But overall I found Mirror of Fate to feel much more like a Castlevania game than Lords of Shadow did. Lords of Shadow seemed like the story was drawn out longer than needed and some of the areas seemed boring to me. The only section of the game I really liked was the vampire section, mainly the clockwork tower and music box.

118 hours and Bravely Default is over. I still can continue on with New game + and do all sorts of stuff but as far as the main story line, it is done. An awesome experience I must say. I finished the game with a full genome list, all jobs mastered and full exp. I dont think I could have asked for more. And the after game movie option is really neat with a definite lead on a sequel!

I finished Donkey Kong Country earlier in the week. Didn't get 101% or anything, but I started up DKC2 and plan on getting everything. Bonus stages that award coins to access locked off levels? Yes please! Does 101% in DKC1 do anything game wise?
Today I also replaced the capacitors in my game gear I bought back in the fall. My first time soldering and it's a success! Bright video and sound now works. Yay! That was a long project though >:(

Thanks! Before the repair, there was zero audio and you had to look at the screen at like a 60 degree angle to be able to see anything. Apparently they're very prone to having their capacitors blow over time. It was a learning experience to say the least, but a success so I'm happy. Glad I didn't waste 2 and a half hours for nothing lol.

I'm on the verge of learning to solder. It's going to open up a world to cheap stuff if I'll just make myself learn how to repair electronics. I've gone as far as order repair parts. Now I just need the guts go put them in.

What are these expansions to?
To the PS3's DLC-Only game called "Costume Quest".
Grubbins on Ice is just a couple of hours worth of DLC (that also adds a basic grappling/slide Hook mechanic) to Costume Quest.
In a pretty basic kind of way - CQ's battle system is pretty similar to FFX-2's "Dress-Sphere" type of system.
Btw - I'm glad that ya' had fun with it, (always)B. Rad ;)

Finished the Conception 2 demo last night. I absolutely loved it - very addictive, and extremely reminiscent of Persona. Looks like the save carries over to the full game, so I shouldn't have to repeat the beginning tutorial stuff again. Very smart, ever since Lunar on the PS1 I've felt that having your RPG "demo" be the beginning slice of the game & then just letting that save carry over so you can continue with the full game is both a great way to get a good taste of the game and an excellent hook to motivate you to go ahead & get the game so you can keep playing. Surprised more companies don't do that.

Aaaaand now I just finished inFamous: Second Son. :) Got the good ending, cleared out all districts 100% and pretty much got all the trophies except for the bad karma ones and a handful of the "stunt" trophies that I just honestly never looked at. Really enjoyed it - it wasn't perfect, there was a decent bit of repetition in it (to "free" each district you have to complete a series of tasks, and it's the same tasks for every district). But the game is just so much fun that it really makes up for a good bit of the repetition. It's gorgeous too, probably the best looking game I've seen so far, including PC games.
Anyway, gonna trade it in to Best Buy tomorrow - they'll give me $44 for it according to their website. Gonna put that down on Conception II and what's left over will probably go towards Bound By Flame. I'll pick SS back up when it gets cheap, by then I'll be ready to do my evil playthrough. :D

So I just completed all of Goat Simulator. All 21 achievements (http://steamcommunity.com/id/Foxhack/stats/265930/?tab=achievements). I bet the devs will add more stuff later on, but hell yeah I beat this game.
And since I have a Playfire account, I got spending money for a game store for getting all of these. I'm getting 6.25 GBP, which is about 10 dollars, which means I already made back what I spent on the game and got some extra change. XD

The first one can be pretty hard too. I didn't 101% that one though.
Is there a bonus section or something? How does it go past 100?
It's just something they do. The first one is 101%, the second is 102% and the 3rd is 103%. It just means you did everything lol.
The first game overall is way easier, unless you go for the 101%. Unlike the sequels you never know if you found all of the bonus rooms, some levels may have five, others only one and you never know which. I played with a guide to find the secrets. Donkey Kong Country 2 is just mean as far as difficulty goes, but it is easy to tell if you have found all of the bonus rooms, although I never did my finish my 102% run. I think the perfect balance was with Donkey Kong Country 3 and it is by far my favorite. You can also go for 104% and 105% in DKC 3 with cheat codes to make the game harder. DKCR and DKCTF are excellent games as well, but something feels off with the new games where I don't really want to find everything. That and the fact that it would always be in the back of my mind that I can never fully complete it till I get not the gold, but the extremely difficult to obtain shiny gold time trial medals!

The way to tell if you got all the rooms in a level is that the name of the level will have an "!" next to it... There is one secret area that is a bitch though. It's in Oil Drum Alley. There are multiple rooms within the original room and you have to successfully complete each room to continue (although in the first room it has the barrels that rotate between a single banana, a bunch and a 1up and you HAVE to get all single bananas to advance). And you only get one chance. If you mess it up, you can never get back to it and it ruins your completion %. I do happen to have a file with 101% in under 2 hours. DKC1 and 2 are my two favorite games on SNES but I've yet to fully complete 2.

The way to tell if you got all the rooms in a level is that the name of the level will have an "!" next to it... There is one secret area that is a bitch though. It's in Oil Drum Alley. There are multiple rooms within the original room and you have to successfully complete each room to continue (although in the first room it has the barrels that rotate between a single banana, a bunch and a 1up and you HAVE to get all single bananas to advance). And you only get one chance. If you mess it up, you can never get back to it and it ruins your completion %. I do happen to have a file with 101% in under 2 hours. DKC1 and 2 are my two favorite games on SNES but I've yet to fully complete 2.
Huh I guess you are right, I thought they did not have the exclamation point until DKC2.

As much as I loved the DKC games, I found DKC 2 to be the hardest of the 3. There is one level I remember in DKC2 where you had to jump up a vertical shaft on the snake buddy. And the acid/water was filling so fast that one minor mistake and you're toast.

I love that level! Worst level in the fucking game was Screech's Sprint. It's the level right before the K. Rool battle. You have to race a bird around brambles and you have to get 1st to continue. I dread playing it every time I pop DKC2 in.

Judging from the PSN list, this doesn't have ANY multiplayer trophies - just story related ones and others that ask you to do a specific move on a character.

A lot of them are progress based, a few are for trying out certain modes others are pulling off attacks like a great heat attack for the first time. And a very few are mission based/collecting artwork/story reenactment.

I think I'm gonna go for the plat in R&C this weekend. I did the bolt glitch Weds night/Thurs. to get the million bolts, and it looks like that's really the only time-consuming trophy. The rest I'll need (besides finishing off the game, which I'm right at the end) is mainly getting all the gold bolts & skill points.

Yeah I've always said the same thing. It did some cool things that you didn't really see at the time. On screen enemies, being able to restart at the beginning of the fight when you died, some puzzle elements. Maybe if it had been a little longer than the 10 hours it took me, and with a deeper story, it would have been received better.

I was stuck at the part where you had to kneel at certain point in front of a cliff for years on end! Luckily my grandma sent me a Nintendo Power that told me what to do in box of NES stuff (she was a gamer, so she'd send me her stuff when she was done with it back then). Otherwise I'd never have beaten it. I really liked the game except for that part, too. Loved the RPG elements added.

The game was totally not helpful at giving you hints on what to do. I did find an interesting article about the differences between the Japanese version and the US version. Here's the link if you're interested. Apparently the Japanese translation isn't much better.

Don't play that game. Seriously. It's horrible. Non-stop insane stream of enemies to the point where I could only play a level or so at a time towards the end because my hand would cramp. Horrible game balance - impossible on normal, you literally can't die unless you fall in a pit or fail a QTE on easy. Oh, and QTE's with no button prompts at all. Story that would embarrass Syfy. Just off the top of my head I'd suggest DMC, Revengeance, Lords of Shadow or a ton of other similar games over this train wreck.

I also technically beat Batman Arhkam City GOTY today - I finished all the Batman / Catwoman side missions and Riddler things, except for Calendar Man (a year still hasn't passed since I got the game) and Augmented Reality Training (SERIOUSLY, FUCK THE ADVANCED AR TESTS.) I still gotta do Harley's Revenge and all those annoying challenges to get all the achievements... ugh.

Yeah I love the Arkham games but those challenges are ridiculous - only things keeping me from getting the plat in those games. I figured it was either just forget about the rest of the trophies or end up hating the games because I slogged through those things.

Beat Wolfenstein. It's pretty fun and has some good ideas for replayability after a 10 hour main run. Basically in the first level, based on the choice you make, you can play through the game by collecting health upgrades, or shield upgrades, depending on who you chose. So when you beat the game with the one choice, you can go back and do the second choice and get the upgrade set you didn't get the first time, so buy the end of the 2nd run, you'll have double health and shields. That choice also means you have an entirely different character to interact with throughout the story. Haven't experienced that yet, but it will be pretty cool when I get to that point as the characters are pretty memorable.
Also there are enigma codes to find that you then decipher once you have a full line of them unlocked. Completing these gets you new game modes to play the game with. The first one I have unlocked which is 999 mode. 999 Health, unlimited ammo, and it's on the hardest difficulty. Not sure of the rest yet.
I like how they did the choice idea as it not only gives you a separate character throughout the entire game instead of the other, you even get a different lock pick option this time around. With one character, you hotwire things and with the other, you lock pick things which is a different mechanic. Kinda cool.
Also, a fun little bonus easter egg you can find in the game is that you'll play a version of the first level of the original Wolfenstein lol

Finally finished the Wizardry 1 remake for Playstation. I have been level grinding arguably one of the best parties possible in the game since like last summer. My final party consisted of three Bishops(Cleric/Mage) converted to Ninjas. I placed them in the front three spots as they could cast all spells while also having a small chance to decapitate an enemy every round. I also had two clerics converted to Samurai (Mage/Fighter) to cast spells and provide a back up when a Ninja died. In the back was a Bishop for identifying and carrying items. After spending so long grinding on a fixed encounter that provides 700-1400 experience each with level requirements being 300,000-500,000 experience depending on class after level 13 I thought I would breeze right through the game. I was completely wrong, every lower floor that I did not explore on the NES version was full of high level mages and level draining monsters (And disappointingly lacking anything interesting). I was able to avoid most of the level drainers until floor 9 when a group surprised me and drained one of my Ninjas 500,000 xp (4-5 hours of grinding) and lowered my piety which left me with 78 max health. When I finally reached floor 10 I took one step and ran into a group of high ninjas that decapitated two of my characters. The rest of the floor went by without much problem until I opened the door to Werdna's lair and saw a message that said "The Monsters Surprised You" just like what happened to me in the NES version ha. Luckily I survived the round and took out the boss in the next round. I love how even after doing an insane amount of level grinding the game still shows no mercy. At least I am finally done with the "Perfect Party" so I can play all of the games I keep buying!

OK, I'm done. Either I call Portrait of Ruin beaten, or I hurl my 3DS through this window. That last boss fight is impossible for me - I don't have those reflexes anymore, and I sure as heck don't have that kind of patience. I despise a really hard boss fight when all I want to do is see the end & move on. So...YouTube it is, and PoR is *beaten*. >:(
My list for the year:
Bioshock Infinite: Burial At Sea Pt. 1 Bravely Default demo Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Y's: Memories of Celceta DMC South Park: The Stick of Truth inFamous: Second Son Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havok Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin

This sounds like me when I played Phantasy Star for the Master System last year. I get all the way to the end can could not beat it. I said screw it after like 1000 tries and I just watched the youtube video to see the ending. I know how you feel

Aother game from my childhood I finally beaten, Jaws for NES! (https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfp1/t1.0-9/s526x296/10301955_10201133883388199_2418212573428088696_n.jpg)

Just wrapped up The Last of Us and Remember Me last week. I liked The Last of Us, but came away feeling like reviews should've been more around the 8.0 range. It's not that it's bad, but there are some really nasty problems with the AI, the constant stream of generic gun-toting dudes gets old after about 2 minutes, and only about 30% of the game feels like actual survival horror. The parts where you play Ellie are absolutely fantastic, though.
As for Remember Me... well, it's gorgeous. The rest is an attempt to mesh Arkham Asylum and God Hand, but winds up more simplistic and dull than either of them. Too bad, it had a lot of potential.

Yeah, it is fun. It's not a masterpiece by any means but it's not the worst. Hard to believe how easy it could be once you know how to play it. Gave me trouble as a kid but of course we didn't have internet back then so couldn't look it up. It is rather satisfying to beat a game you couldn't as a kid!

That was my feeling as well, but then I'm not the biggest stealth fan and really wasn't expecting such a focus on stealth going in (I had been on media blackout for it since I knew I was picking it up anyway). Loved the story, but that wasn't enough for me to even put it in my personal top 10 last year.

Games beaten this year: -Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (GBA) -Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (GBA) -Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (DS) -Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara (XBox Live Arcade) (I beat both games: Tower of Doom & Shadow of Mystara) -The Legend of Zelda: Link Between Worlds (3DS) -Mega Man Legends (PS1) - Beat Again -New Super Mario Bros. 2 (3DS) -Super Mario 3D Land (3DS) -WWE 2K14 (XBox 360)
It's more of what you got and loved in Spyro 1 & 2. Nothing especially innovative here, just a great 3D platformer, with lots of charm, and a ton of fun. Had a blast with it! I wish Insomniac would have kept making these, because the 5th gen Spyro games don't hold a candle to the PS1 games.
I still have to go back and play-through the Sparx worlds I unlocked after beating it, though. And I want more Raceway levels!

Loved the story, but that wasn't enough for me to even put it in my personal top 10 last year.
I like stealth, but I'm often disappointed by how it's implemented in games, and even sold Shadow of Rome several years ago because it was so poorly done. The Last of Us isn't that bad, but I did discover that the AI cheats - human enemies modify their patrol routes based on where you happen to be hiding, even if you haven't been spotted once. So no matter how skillfully you're playing, someone will eventually just happen to walk directly toward your location and force you to move, and it's based on pre-set points in each area. Took me awhile to realize it too, but when I was playing the hospital level near the end, I found that if I was crouched on the right side of a particular wall, the guard would go right and into a nearby room, but if I crouched on the left side, he'd walk directly toward my location, come around the wall, and spot me if I didn't move. Total bullshit.
In that same level, I went the left route, circled around the central area, and immediately after jumping over a wall and hiding in a small room, the guards suddenly announced that they were going to 'check over there' and two of them walked directly to my position.
I described it on Twitter as "cinematic goat herding" where no matter what you do, the developers are intent on making sure that your actions really have little impact on what happens, and you're left to just herd your goat from one place to the next.

I finished Murdered: Soul Suspect (PC) last night. It took me about 8 hours from start to finish, and an extra 4 hours spent on struggling against the crappy combat system that was blatantly designed for gamepads (not mouse and keyboard) and backtracking to get missing collectibles. Even then there's one stage in the game that I can't revisit due to story-related things so I won't be able to get all the achievements... unless I start a new game. And frankly, I'm too burned out to do that right now.
My opinion? Good game, but not $50 good. The game is filled with bugs that could've easily been caught during QA but I guess Squeenix was too busy killing the game by not even promoting it to give a damn about budgeting for QA testing.

Post by: insektmute on June 08, 2014, 02:00:37 pm
Technically finished Drakengard 3. It has similar branching, continuing endings like Nier, but the absolute final boss is a ridiculous 6-8 min long, zero margin of error rhythm game with no checkpoints that I've tried beating somewhere around 40-50 times and still can't finish. I even tried syncing a YouTube video with it, since after about 3 mins, the camera starts obscuring where you are and you're expected to hit the buttons in time with the music by ear.
Quite a few people want it to be patched, but I really doubt that's going to happen. Sad too, because I really loved the game up to this point, but I'm walking away from it feeling totally down about the experience.

Lol. At first I was thinking, "yea this game isnt for me" but after a couple of towers, I started getting used to it and started falling in love with the story. Very creative and different. I've never played any game like it.

It was too weird and Japanese for me. I really wanted to like it, because the environments reminded me of King's Field games and I loved the idea of the chain-weapon. But that whole possessed princess, eating undead and monster flesh and stuff was just too weird to get into, for me. I only got a couple towers in before I used it for trade.

*Really* got to get around to playing the prequel to SH1 (Koudelka) one of these days...
I'll admit that I didn't play that much of SH3, because the change in tone/setting up front was off-putting. Wouldn't mind giving it another shot one day, but it's one of the ones I have to add back to my collection first. ;)
And I never got around to playing Koudelka either - kept saying I would, didn't happen.

Yeah, I think that SH3 is to the SH series what FFX-2 is to the FF series.
I think that those 2 games also have the best/deepest combat systems than ANY other games in their respective series; but, what draws more clicks for a review site: tits or combat?!
That said, I'm also not a fan of SH3's change in tone/atmosphere either...

I'll definitely give it a shot again one day, when I finally come across it again. :P And for the record, I love FFX-2. ;)
I think the story arc was just SO GOOD in the first 2 SH games that I missed having any of those characters. Assuming you play both games then the ending to SH2 probably has one of the best "pay-offs" of any game ending I've seen. ;D

-King's Field II (PS1) (King's Field III outside the U.S.)
For like the 20th time. I love this series far too much. And this one is my personal favorite entry in the series. I seem to discover something knew with each play-through, too, that I didn't see before. There's so many secrets in the game it's insane!
This time I found that after you place Orladin's skull on top of his skeleton on the throne in order to unlock the door to the Dragon Tree. After you go through the door, listen to the Dragon Tree, and retrieve your Icharus Armor; instead of teleporting out like you normally would, if you go back out of the chamber and go up to Orladin's skeleton, you can actually talk to him!

Which King's Field game would you recommend for someone new to the series? It looks very interesting.
That's a tough recommendation, to tell the truth. It's VERY early PS1, like practically a launch title. And it's a VERY ambitious title, as well. So as a result, it has a slow, plodding gameplay that turns a lot of people off.
If you have patience, and don't mind a steep learning curve, then there's a lot of pay-off in the game, though. A large game to explore with virtually zero load-times (other than the initial load, of course), and soooo many secrets to uncover.
I'd start with the first game, King's Field. That is, the first game released in the U.S. (It's actually the 2nd game in Japan.) But unless you know Japanese, it can be pretty hard to play an RPG, even an action-RPG, in Japanese.

No reason he couldn't, as it's a stand-alone story; it just makes more sense to me to take the series from the beginning and see how it progresses.

King's Field II (#3 outside the U.S.) is connected to what happened in the original King's Field (KF II outside the U.S.) and the original Japanese KF. Although it's not like it's necessary to play the first two games first to understand what's going.
Hell, you can go through the entire game not having a clue what's happening if you don't pay attention to dialogue and environment clues.

When I explored the optional floors on Wizardry I they were empty and a waste of time. In KoD there was fewer floors, but on every floor you were looking for a certain item and had a boss fight before progressing to the next floor. My main complaint with the game was the difficulty. Since the game requires you to transfer characters from the previous scenario the monsters on the first floor are as difficult as the monsters on floor 10 of Wizardry I. As you go deeper into the dungeon the monsters start attacking in so large of groups that being surprised in the first round can lead to a party wipe or multiple level drains. I did want to finish the game within this decade so I reloaded on full party wipes and level draining encounters, but did not cheat in any other ways. I would like to try the game again on the NES since you cannot transfer characters so the monsters would be more fair on the early floors.

The fact that somebody would design a game so punishing to the player is what drew me into the series; I spend more time reading about the series then playing it though :P . Slowly making my way through the sequels finally. If you are interested the best way to enjoy it is Wizardry: Llylgamyn Saga for PS1 in Japan. Nice graphics, mostly translated to English, automapping, and saving. Or you can grab an NES/Apple II/PC copy and a stack of graph paper if you do not value your sanity.

You're a huge Demon's/Dark Souls fan too, aren't you?
Tried to play it on PC, but my computer was not powerful enough to play it. I eventually want to get a PS3 so I can play the Souls series as well as the exclusive Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls download game.

Rentgirl and I just 100% completed Yoshi's Island. That game was crazy hard in some spots and a lot longer than I remembered.

Just finished Retro Game Challenge, pretty fun game. :) Finished as in "complete all of the individual challenges for all of the games". Did NOT do the final "ultimate" challenge of beating every game in the set, because frankly that sounds pretty dull - especially that RPG! UGH! Man, that thing was a chore to play through enough just to finish its 4 challenges - if I'm gonna sink that much more time into an RPG, I'm gonna boot Bravely Default back up. ;)
Anyway, scorecard for the year so far:
Bioshock Infinite: Burial At Sea Pt. 1 Bravely Default demo Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Y's: Memories of Celceta DMC South Park: The Stick of Truth inFamous: Second Son Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havok Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin Ghost Squad Retro Game Challenge

Well, that didn't take long. Finished one of the five routes (not counting the gag route) in XBlaze Code: Embryo on the Vita. Each chapter takes less than an hour to play through. It's a fun and interesting game. I think I'll enjoy running through the rest of the routes.

I'd been meaning to ask you what you thought of XBLAZE once you'd gotten around to spending some time with it.
Were you already pretty familiar with the Blazblue universe & characters before this game?
Do you think that it'd still be worth playing & enjoyable to those w/o previous knowledge & exposure to other/different BB games?

My previous experience with the series consisted of the demo of XBlaze on the Vita about a month ago (the demo covers the whole first "episode"), and about a half an hour of BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend on the PS3 after I bought it a few weeks ago. :P So, nope, no experience needed to enjoy it. If you're a huge fan of the series, I'm sure it would make it even more enjoyable. Though, like I said, no experience needed. There do seem to be some fairly serious bugs though atm, which may interfere with getting 100% completion (and the game's plat trophy). From what I've heard Aksys has been made aware of the bugs. Who knows if they'll end up doing anything about them though. It's not a super huge deal though, since it seems that the main story is unaffected.

Shovel Knight! Super awesome game, can not recommend it enough. Regular playthrough collecting most stuff a long the way was about 5 hours. I'm doing new game + right now which looks to basically double the damage you take which will make things a good bit harder when it comes to bosses. I really do love this game though, it's not trying to be annoying hard like the old games that didn't know any better cause they were just learning how to design games, but it doesn't hold your hand like a lot of games today do. Levels are smartly designed and if you screw up, it's because you are the one that messed up.
The only complaint I had was that using magic items is done with up and attack, so there are times where you'll find yourself using a magic item when you aren't wanting to. Only a minor issue though.

How interesting, I downloaded that game last Friday, but haven't had a chance to play it yet due to school. My brother played through it and beat it two days ago, is pretty hooked on it with new game + as well! Oh, how I wish I had the time to play this game!

They should have just made a straight Double Dragon game, IMO.

I just finished Cave Story. That was a fun game. These days, I tend to not finish games. This one had me going till the end. The story wasn't much, but the gameplay was fun. If you haven't played it, I'd say go for it. Is it worth the high price for a CIB copy? Probably not. I got my loose copy for $20. I got my money's worth.

I REALLY liked Minish Cap. It felt like the SNES Zelda sequel we never got. TONS of side-stuff to do, as well, in addition to the main story. Great style to the graphics. And I liked the shrinking gimmick, kind like it's own version of another world (like Dark World in Link to the Past).

I've heard the game compared to DuckTales, to Metroid, and to Mega Man.
Which one is it the closest to? I mean Mega Man is pretty dang hard compared to the other two. And Metroid is open-world and exploratory and completely different than Mega Man and Metroid.

Duck Tales and Megaman for sure. It has a few Zelda II moments sprinkled in. It's a fantastic game. I finished it and this evening I'm going to go back and try to find some of the items I missed. I don't ever 100% games, but I'll make an exception.

Mega Man 1 is too hard. I get so pissed at those platform things on Gutsman's stage. Shovel Knight is easier than that.

Just beat Super Metroid for the first time. 11 hours and 87% complete.

Beat the game and now found a Game Genie code that will let me map select when loading my save so I can get out of Tourian and get the 13% I missed! :)

Almost replaces Metroid Prime as my favorite Metroid game of all time.
Almost.
Easily my favorite 2D Metroid.
Now I need to get my hands on Zero Mission for GBA.
I wonder how long it'll take for the Metroid Prime haters to come in and tell you about how the game is bad because it wasn't a 2D Metroid. :P
I loved both games. But they both gave you different experiences.
And Metroid: Zero Mission may be the greatest remake ever made. Right up there with the Resident Evil remake on GameCube.
I had no idea Zero Mission was actually a remake. Learn something new every day!
It's a remake with some additional stuff added in after the original Metroid would've normally finished. That's where the Zero Suit gets introduced. It's quite a bit shorter than the rest of the game though, I found.

I just finished Kirby's Adventure for the regular Nintendo that Bobster gave me, and tho' I did finish the game in one sitting, I enjoyed the crap out of it!! Very nice game and how you can use your enemies power ups when swallowing them. I also found the story very appeasing and I cant wait to play the next Kirby game as well.

Finished Magical Quest 2: The Great Circus Mystery with Mickey& Minnie(SNES) in less than a hour. I liked the general mechanics of this game, but its obviously a kids game, as even on normal, there were barely any difficulty increase in the levels, and having unlimited continues mean that you'll never get frustrated too much. I may only go back to this for specific challenges to complete the game in the future, and even though this was somewhat fun, I still prefer its Super Famicom sequel Magical Quest 3 for all around enjoyment and playability.

For the first time at a gamer hangout last night, I totally beat Turtles in Time on SNES! I kinda realized I had never finished that game, I didn't beat a lot of my old games, but me and another guy who knew it from back to front ran it through and while it is a short game, it's pretty fun. Aside from some stupid obnoxious boss battles. God damn Slash, Tokka, and Rahzar and your cheap moves! Slash is easily the hardest boss in that game. but you fight him like half way through.

So many memories on this game. I've got to get it again and play it. Thanks for sharing this fun and congrats on beating the wonderful game! Did you like Turtles II on the regular Nintendo?

Finally finished the main story line for Watch Dogs. What an amazing story line! Highly recommended. Excellent graphics, controllers, story, I would say the only thing I felt missing from Watch Dogs is interaction with the open world. It seems there could have been so much more realness to the open world when not on missions, but excellent and I am glad to have played this game :) My rating would be 8.3/10
Just a self update for me so I can remember the games completed this year:

Finally got around to finishing Super Mario 3D Land. I'm never out enough to play my 3DS and I don't like to play it at home. Another good Mario game, I just hope the next Mario they actually give a crap about adding something interesting to Mario for once. The rehashing is getting super bad and extra lazy. Need to see a proper 3D Mario like Mario 64, Sunshine, or even Galaxy.

I just finished Terminator Salvation (PS3) last night/this morning. I had to rush through it because I sold it on ebay and had to ship it. That game is so glitchy! It glitched on two occasions where enemies were stuck on the environment and the game would not proceed without them being taken care of. Then it completely froze in the first hour of playing. Froze again in the second hour as well, I had to restart my PS3 both times. Hilarious.

I really enjoyed the GBA port of the original. While I'd like to play it, I really don't like the 3D models they went with in Yoshi's New Island. The beautiful 2D sprites & environments were one of the things I loved about the original. It's one of the reasons I've been on the fence with Yoshi's New Island.

Just beat Double Dragon Neon in Dragon (hard) difficulty. There's one section in the game - the intro bits of Level 8 - that are incredibly unfair, even by oldschool arcade standards. But I toughed it out.

I just beat Lock's Quest for DS and I definitely enjoyed it. It has a slow start and the game seems like it might be a simple kid's game at first, but the game actually does get to be challenging later on. The music is really good and the sprites are charming and feel like a throwback to older systems like the PS1. If you like tower defense games or are looking for a cheap DS game to play, this is one worth looking at.

Courtney and I finished up Super Mario Sunshine (with all 120 shine sprites) over the weekend. It was my first time playing the game. It was pretty enjoyable, but I have my issues. I'm a big fan of Mario 64 so I compared it to Sunshine a lot while playing it. Sunshine's levels sometimes went on a bit too long. 8 shine sprites, and an additional 2 hidden ones, seemed like too much. Also, the blue coin collecting got really monotonous. On top of that, it never really felt like you needed to collect the shine sprites. If it was unlocking levels, you had no indication.
The FLUD mechanics were cool and it was a great looking game which was nice. I really enjoyed the Piantas as well.
But after getting all 120 sprites, and getting nothing but a different end credit picture for it, I came out of it a little frustrated.
tl:dr, Mario Sunshine was enjoyable, but Mario 64 is way better to me. More levels and getting stars to unlock them made it more fun.

^ Wow, impressive. Some of those sun-sprites seem impossible to get to!
I've played the hell out of that game and haven't come close to completing it. Guess it's time to go back. I'm stuck on that one level where it's a cliff-like island surrounded by water, and you are constantly climbing up it, and there are some cables you can walk across in certain sections. I always seem to fall down at some point, end up back at the bottom, and just get frustrated.
But I want to get further, because I love the game! I actually enjoy it a lot more than Super Mario 64, which felt big and empty to me and I couldn't get past it's uber-touchy controls.

Well we have the strategy guide so after a while we just referred to that for the blue coins. We did a pretty thorough run through first, but then went back after to get what was left.
That level you're on can be a bit tough. Some parts of that platforming are really tough.
I believe we're tackling Super Mario 64 next (though we've been derailed by New Super Mario Wii U) but it may be that I've got rose tinted glasses currently. I'll have to update you once we start going through it! It'll be her first time playing it so I'm interested to see what she'll think of the game.

I think you're probably on Noki Bay from the description of the level. It can definitely be a hard level to get used to, especially if you're trying to get all of the blue coins hidden in the cliff walls, and accidentally open up one of the walls that has something that sends you flying backwards back into the water. Some of the shine sprites can be easy to get, while some of the other ones( im thinking of mission 6 in noki bay) can take quite a lot of patience just to complete. I'm actually going back through the game right now to test other different things/scenarios to see what you can do depending on the mission/nozzle given, especially considering how much distance you can cover with the right maneuvers.

I have had a save file on my Link to the Past SNES cart for a while that was missing one heart piece that I could never find. So this week I started a new game and this time I found all the heart pieces so I finally got 100% completion in the game. Also recently finished up Super Mario 3D World. I finished the first bonus world, but really have no interest in finishing the rest of them.

I just completed Casper: Spirit Dimensions for some damn reason.
The game was awful.
It was also hilarious in a kusoge way. It was a third-person-shooter set-up, but the sticks' respective controls were reversed, that is, you used the left stick to look and the right to move around. Not airplane reversed.
At times the game seems quite unfinished, especially in the cut-scene department (best part of the game imo)
The most frustrating bit a came across, other than some cheap, cheap playtime extending mechanics, is that you can't save with 100% Before the final boss, you have 90%. After him, you have 100%, but can't save. After the credits roll, you're booted out to the title screen. Humph.
It all makes it worth it however, to see Casper's disturbing-as-hell win-dance. (Think Crash's dance, if he were a about a tenth as coordinated and looked like a milky-translucent baby)

There, beat Arkham Origins. Story was pretty good, but the gameplay felt like what it was from beginning to end - another dev trying to copy Arkham City. It was a definite step below the Rocksteady efforts. I wanted to beat it tho before the new "real" Arkham game next year, because I figure it will be *really* hard to go back to it after that. This is the first one where I don't feel compelled to collect all the doo-dads tho. Finishing the story is good enough for me.
So here's the year so far:

What a fantastic game to end a fantastic series. No joke, this may not take the #1 spot for my all-time favorite JRPG, replacing Chrono Trigger on that list. Fan-freaking-tastic story that has lots of connecting plot-threads and big-twist moments with many endearing characters. The game and story really made you feel you like you were on this grand adventure. I LOVED the interaction of the Psynergy puzzles, mixed with the JRPG gameplay, the puzzle elements really reminded me of a 2D Zelda game. And man, dat ending!
Very, VERY satisfied with this series.
I really, REALLY hope they follow this series up with a 3DS sequel. The after-credits scene left it wide-open for one.

Yeah, I'd say it definitely helps to have played the first two games, first. Everything will mean so much more. And a lot of stuff directly connects to it.
The first two games are almost like two-halves to the same game. Really cool, and epic games, as well, well worth picking up. Though the graphics aren't as impressive (naturally, being that they're on GBA).

Ahhh.... that makes perfect sense. I always was impressed by the continuity in the series from Symphony of the Night (My first Castlevania game) through the GBA and DS and now I know why. I've yet to play any of the 3D Castlevania games, but I am going to try LoS and Mirror of Fate soon just to see what the series has turned into more recently. Konami would be smart to make some kind of 2D version of Castlevania again even if it was a downloadable only title. There are too many of us who want that much more than a 3D game.

As a whole, it's the easiest Disgaea game I've played so far, but it had the hardest boss battle of any I've played.

I am trying to beat all of the Capcom NES games. Completed Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, now onto Mega Man 2.
That is a lofty goal. Capcom made a crapload of games on the NES. But it sounds like a fun goal, too. Capcom made some of the best third-party NES games, too.

What a fantastic game to end a fantastic series. No joke, this may not take the #1 spot for my all-time favorite JRPG, replacing Chrono Trigger on that list. Fan-freaking-tastic story that has lots of connecting plot-threads and big-twist moments with many endearing characters. The game and story really made you feel you like you were on this grand adventure. I LOVED the interaction of the Psynergy puzzles, mixed with the JRPG gameplay, the puzzle elements really reminded me of a 2D Zelda game. And man, dat ending!
Very, VERY satisfied with this series.
I really, REALLY hope they follow this series up with a 3DS sequel. The after-credits scene left it wide-open for one.
If you are a fan of RPGs, you won't be disappointed with this one.
I havent really looked at this series but now I may.

Konami would be smart to make some kind of 2D version of Castlevania again even if it was a downloadable only title.
You mean like Adventure Rebirth, which nobody really noticed?
It's a shame that nobody did. All those Rebirth games were freaking fantastic.
But I think an all original Castlevania game would work better than a remake, which Rebirth was.
I actually was just referring to the trend of developers, especially indie ones, releasing 2D games like Shovel Knight and Guacamelee in the downloadable-only format. I'd much rather have a physical copy of any game but I will take a new 2D Castlevania any way I can get it.
I somehow missed Adventure Rebirth, but I will definitely have to try and get it because it looks awesome. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

NNNNNOooooooooo.
Why not? Quick-time event Castlevania sucks.
I imagine it was the download-only part he was objecting to. ;)
It's hard to display a digital game in his Castlevania shrine!
Print out the whole binary code, put it in a box, then stick it in the shrine. :D

Over the weekend my girlfriend and I beat New Super Mario Bros U with 4 stars (apparently there are a couple secret exits that'll give 5?) and it was a blast for us. I also beat Final Fantasy 3 on the PSP.
FF3 was super generic.... I was really surprised by it. FF2 had some character development and an interesting revenge story. That's why I'm surprised 3 was so basic. Weird!
Dash, did you end up enjoying FF1?

It had a few "hey that's cool" moments. I tried to play it in the context of when the nes original was released.
I can see how the size and non-linearity of the game would have blown people away back then.
The airship was fun to fly around. Random encounters every 3 seconds got kind of tedious after a while. Especially after I passed level 60. I beat it at level 89 and went up 29 levels just walking to the end boss.
I liked that you can pick your party members at the beginning and I can see how it might affect the difficulty of certain areas.
The story was quite basic.
For GBA the graphics, sound, and music were fantastic.
Overall I liked it.
I am starting FF2 now and I am a bit excited since you mentioned there is a deeper story. I'll probably skip FF3.
Should I play FF2 on SNES or GBA? I have both.

Glad to see you liked FF1. In the context of when it came out, it was pretty amazing.
I'm not sure I'd recommend skipping 3 honestly. If you're about seeing how the games have progressed, it's interesting. Seeing the job system for the first time in the games was pretty cool. They also did some really interesting stuff to block you off from certain dungeons until you were ready. The PSP version of it is really pretty for what that's worth too.
I played FF2 on the PSP. I know you mentioned before you forgot that you had FF1 on the PSP, so maybe you have the anniversary edition with both 1 & 2?
Also, since you mention SNES, I'm guessing you mean America's "FF2" and not Japan's? If you're doing the American releases in order, you should DEFINITELY not avoid our 3. FF6 is a masterpiece and you need to play it lol.

Assuming you mean FFIV, go buy Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection for the PSP. With it you also get Final Fantasy IV Interlude and Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, which you may or may not want to play depending on how much you like FFIV. If you don't care, then I'd recommend the GBA version.

May be a Steam key in a box, but one of the developers sums up my opinion:
Quote
"Steam has always been our primary source of income," he said, "so a retail version is nothing we planned or thought would bring us a lot of income, we were more motivated by the fact that a physical box with a goat's face on it is pretty funny shit, so we decided to go for it...I think Steam will always be our primary source of income,but it might be fun for people to show off Goat Simulator in their game shelves at home"
I'm guessing the drug references and language may have pushed it over into an M rating.

I'm relieved to say I just beat De Blob 2 on Wii. I was excited to play the game because I love platformers and especially games like Mario Sunshine and Okami where you have to clean things as part of the story/gameplay. Unfortunately, De Blob 2 only had some moments of fun and way too much repetition. Every level drags on too long and you basically do the same things over and over. This is a game I wouldn't play again and may not keep in my collection long term.

Agree with Foxhack, if it is not your type of game you will be bored/unimpressed in a few minutes. It is a silly open world game with really no objective so you just make up fun things to do. I personally enjoy underwater bike riding, launching humans in the air off of a half pipe, and blowing up as many things as possible ha.

Just finished Wizardry III: Legacy of Llylgamyn. Out of the original trilogy this game was the weakest. There were a lot of good ideas, but I felt like they were not implemented well. The game does what Knight of Diamonds did well by making every floor important to the quest and adding some puzzle elements, but the puzzles were not fun or fair. One example is on the third floor you run into a NPC that asks you to trade your soul for an item. I have no idea why he asks for a soul because to solve the puzzle you need to have a broadsword in your inventory for him to take in trade for a medallion. No explanation or clues. Also two of the riddles require you to have knowledge of tarot card games. Also in the game some floors cannot be accessed by a good party, some cannot be accessed by an evil party, and some require that the party is not entirely neutral. This is a cool idea, but switching alignment is tedious and random (Luckily I made my party with 5 neutral and 1 good so I only had to change one party member). Instead of switching alignment you can create two parties, but the amount of experience gained from monsters in this game is almost nothing. I was not able to even grind past level 10, when usually your party should be at level 13 by the end of the game. Due to this the game is the hardest of the trilogy.
I played through all three games on the Japan PS1 game Wizardry: Llylgamyn Saga with no issues at all with the in-game translation and can highly recommend it to anyone interested in the series. It is definitely the most accessible with the dungeon auto mapping as you explore, updated graphics, and the ability to save to avoid permadeath. I had a lot of fun with my no reloading permadeath run of Wizardry 1, but I have been saving in the sequels to save time/sanity so I can actually finish the series. On to Wizardry IV!

Just finished the second season of The Walking Dead. Overall, it's pretty good. A few spots in the split decision choices had their outcomes feel abit wonky, but generally it is just as engaging as the first season. I won't spoil a single thing, though I will say I feel like they won't be able to ever truly top the first season finale, but I still was totally invested in the finale of the second. Hopefully we see a third season. It's a story I want to continue.

Beat Metro 2033 Redux tonight and I'm very satisfied with this general overhaul to the game. There were some minor bugs and glitches here and there that should've been sorted out, but overall I think this is what the game needed. It runs better, looks better, and is pretty much better to play. I like that more secret stuff was added in and that some levels were even highly altered or added to. Some section were a tad annoying on the higher difficulty settings where Nosalises could easily overwhelm you, but some sections that use to be annoying as crap like the blobs of D6 are now simplified. I kinda wish they had reworked the stealth system, as they did bring over Last Lights which is far better, but it is simpler and it's way too easy to sneak around. They should've improved the AI and mechanics since that was one of my few gripes with Last Light.
Speaking of which, time to play Metro Last Light Redux next! Man I love this series. I heard 4A might be a rather struggling company, but I do hope they make another. You don't get this kinda of dread and atmosphere in many other games.

I sat down and beat DuckTales 2 on Tuesday as part of the NES Challenge (beating all the licensed US NES releases over the course of a year...that can actually be beaten). It's much easier than the original IMO. You can buy extra lives, health, etc. While it's nice to have a reason to collect all of those diamonds - it makes the game even less challenging. I had never played the game before Tuesday, and I beat it in about an hour. It feels a lot like a dumbed down version of Mega Man, which isn't necessarily a bad thing I suppose.

Ha ha. We never claimed to be awesome at any of them. My skill level varies greatly depending on how hard I concentrate. We're really just doing it for fun, so I'm sure there will be plenty of bad runs.
I think we've beaten about 20 or so thus far? We've really only had about 14 hours of playing, so I don't feel too bad about that number. There are so many games on the NES that I've never even touched - I'm sure we'll have some that take waaaay too long to beat because of that.

Woo! I just unlocked the last 2 trophies in Pinball Hall of Fame for the PS3. That Williams Challenge was pretty nasty (beat a predetermined score on every table playing them in a set order, and you get no more than 3 chances per table - fail & start over at the beginning). I was on my last game for the last 2 tables when I beat them. :o
So my updated games completed list is:
Bioshock Infinite: Burial At Sea Pt. 1 Bravely Default demo Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Y's: Memories of Celceta DMC South Park: The Stick of Truth inFamous: Second Son Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havok Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin Ghost Squad Retro Game Challenge Fallout 3 Batman: Arkham Origins P.T.

And then the House of Ballads and House of Sorrows are similar to the "House" questlines in Morrowind.
I seriously loved every moment of this game and am sad that it actually "ended". After Ni no Kuni and DQ VIII replay, this one will most definitely follow.

While not technically "completed", I did beat a run of the main story in Dead Rising 3. Overall I really enjoyed it. It's goofy crazy fun as always. I liked that they made the regular game easier and allowed you to have full freedom in what you wanted to do, not rushing you along. There is a nightmare mode where I assume it to be more like the traditional DR gametype of rushing to get a few things done amid the main missions and is supposed to be harder.
I also still have the the little DLC packs they released to play through for a couple hours more play and I'm gonna be going back through the game to get all the collectibles I missed.

I recently finished Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime on DS and I think it is a very charming and unique game. It kind of has the feel of topdown Zelda's with simplified combat and puzzle mechanics with the addition of tank battles where you can load ammo into your own tank and sneak or break into your opponent's tank to mess with it and the characters loading ammo. Rocket Slime is more lighthearted than other Dragon Quest games and stuffed full of bad puns. While the game is not perfect, the game doesn't overstay its welcome and has some nice extra for anyone who wants to play more than 12-14 hours. if you like to play games that are unique or are a fan of Dragon Quest (and don't mind that this isn't a traditional RPG) then I highly recommend it. I could see this game going up in value over time as more and more people discover it and want to get a copy for their collection.

I completed Star Ocean: First Departure today (while at work, don't tell anyone!). It was pretty fun! I enjoyed it, but it definitely felt like a revamped SNES game (which it is). There wasn't a lot of cues on where to go and what most of the abilities that you can level up do.
The combat system is refreshing for an RPG. It's a real time battle system where you can move around on the battlefield. Different move sets assigned to the shoulder buttons on the PSP kept it from getting stale.
I'm looking forward to seeing what Star Ocean: Second Evolution, which is a PSP remake of the PS1 game Star Ocean: Second Story, is like and if it improves anything.
Also, last week my girlfriend and I beat/100% completed Lego Marvel Super Heroes. Good time there as well.

I never played the original on Super Famicom so I can't comment on that. Visually the game looks awesome. It's all pre-rendered backgrounds so I imagine that was a huge improvement over the original. The AI seemed fairly competent, but really I kept them on the "Go all out" tactic so they just spammed their weapon special attacks.
I know they added some additional characters to recruit and I'm sure lots of other things. Wikipedia is probably more knowledgeable than I am lol.
I really picked up First Departure because I've had Star Ocean: Second Story sitting on my shelf for years, but I didn't want to jump right into the second game of the series. I'll be playing Second Evolution because it seems to be a definitive version of the game.

Alright, so it seems that the psp remakes are like the better remastered versions of the game then. This definitely sounds better than the original( probably because of all the additional hardware chips like the S-DD1 the same as Street Fighter Alpha 2 needed for the original Star Ocean to fit on a 48 Mbit cartridge.) especially with the additional stuff they added to the game. I'll have to pick these up at some point because I've really wanted to get back into the series for a while now.

Spent a couple hours blowing away everything that moved in this vertical-scrolling shoot-em up. Great stress relief with everything going on with me right now. Even though it's only 7 stages, it's intense and action packed. And those last couple of levels can be frustrating as hell. Very nice looking backgrounds, good music, and well, it's Raiden so of course it's fun.

They're both really fun Cave games, and a bit on the easier side for the most part, but it was still quite an effort to get through them using my MAME setup.

Yep, twice in the same year. It's that good. But to be fair, I also played it differently. The first time I just played through to the ending. This time I took my time and completed all the side-quests and collected all the items.

I have never played that game. I guess I need to give it some time. I've heard nothing but good things.
I don't think you'll be disappointed. It handles extremely well, and compared to other NES games, it's really a step up in music, gameplay, and visuals. It's almost hard to think that it's actually on the NES sometimes. It's so fluid.

Almost as good as Link to the Past. The ONLY thing holding it back from being better, IMO, is the fact that you can't play it on nice big T.V. with a real controller. The 3DS does start to cramp your hand after long-play sessions. It definetly has better side-quests and a better presentation (given the more-modern hardware, that's not surprising), but with that same old fantastic Zelda gameplay you love.
The DS ones weren't nearly as good. Spirits Tracks was laughably bad. I can't believe that's actually considered a Zelda game. It should have been it's own little train game. And while I liked Phantom Hourglass, repeating the Temple over and over again really hurt that game.

Yep, twice in the same year. It's that good. But to be fair, I also played it differently. The first time I just played through to the ending. This time I took my time and completed all the side-quests and collected all the items.
Hell, I didn't even realize there was a Red Mail to be found until I saw a Street Pass challenger with it.
Did you finish the Cucco sidequest? I thought I had done a 100% run except for Streetpass stuff, but apparently if you get 999 on the "endless" Cucco game you see a giant Cucco during the credits. Which means it is required for the best ending... :'(

I've been very busy with work (and hence not very active on the forums) but I have beaten two short games recently. The first is Legendary Starfy on DS. It is compared to Kirby a lot and rightfully so. Starfy is a pretty easy and cute game but I also think it is relaxing to play. I don't know if people who don't already like Kirby should play Starfy, but I definitely enjoyed it and surprised just how cheap and easy it is to buy used.
I also beat Pilotwings Resort on 3DS which wasn't quite as fun. The game is short on content and some of the later missions require a lot of trial and error or good muscle memory so that you can get a good score. The Free Flight Mode is a nice idea, but exploring the island isn't fun for too long. I gave up hunting for all the collectibles and probably spent about 5-6 hours playing Pilotwings. I had fun but was ready to playing something else towards the end.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?! The game is amongst the best Zelda titles.
How would you say it compares to A Link to the Past? Most of the recent Zelda games, particularly the DS entries, haven't interested me all that much. I'm on the fence on this one, not sure if I'll get around to buying it or not.
Almost as good as Link to the Past. The ONLY thing holding it back from being better, IMO, is the fact that you can't play it on nice big T.V. with a real controller. The 3DS does start to cramp your hand after long-play sessions. It definetly has better side-quests and a better presentation (given the more-modern hardware, that's not surprising), but with that same old fantastic Zelda gameplay you love.
The DS ones weren't nearly as good. Spirits Tracks was laughably bad. I can't believe that's actually considered a Zelda game. It should have been it's own little train game. And while I liked Phantom Hourglass, repeating the Temple over and over again really hurt that game.
Well, the DS Zelda games are definitely staying off of my wishlist, but I'll have to look at getting A Link Between Worlds eventually. Thanks for the help. :)
Phantom Hourglass is worth playing if you come across it at a good price. The temple being repeated is really only one part of a large game.
And if you like trains, I guess you might enjoy Spirit Tracks. I just found the entire concept to be, well, silly. I don't see that fitting into the Zelda world at all. It was the "jump the shark" moment for me.

Fantastic game! Just like the other Arkham games it was very atmospheric, very dark and gritty, had a lot of polish, and was an all around great Batman experience. I think this one was my favorite in the series.
I've heard a lot of people complain that it was too much like Arkham City. Well, I can't argue that. It did take a lot of what made Arkham City great, and used it (and why complain about that?). But it also added more content. And I felt the story and voice-acting were better done this time. The story felt like something that you could have actually read in a Batman comic book. Admittedly, it wasn't a big of a step-up as Arkham City was from Asylum, but it was still a fantastic game and little-bit more polished than City was.
I didn't complete, EVERYTHING. I didn't do all the incredibly numerous Enigma (Riddler) stuff, and I didn't complete all the Dark Knight VR mission things. I did complete the main-storyline, all the Most Wanted and Assassin's were taken down, all the murder cases were solved, all escaped inmates captured, and all the communication towers were unjammed.

It's a Raiden game. If you've played them before, then you know what to expect here. There's some new modes to access, and of course new levels to play through. But the gameplay is the same. But it's great gameplay if you love a good vertical-scrolling shoot-em up. I've always been a big fan of this series and had a blast playing through it. However, it did seem to have a bit of bullet-hell inspiration almost in the later levels, and the last games in the series didn't really get that extreme (not saying it's Ikaruga hard, though).
Glad I went to Chico. In my town, I've had my eye out for this game forever. I stop in GameStop in Chico, and they're sitting on 3 copies.
BTW, I noticed in the database that the normal version has a pic that includes the soundtrack disc. Pretty sure that was some limited or special release, because mine didn't come with the soundtrack.

Yeah that release for raiden iv is the NA Gamestop Limited Edition of the game has a secret file pdf art book and the soundtrack cd. Sounds like they took the extra contents out of the used games and saved it for themselves. I still need to get this game for my collection because I played the first two games in the series and I've heard this one is pretty good as well.

Yep, twice in the same year. It's that good. But to be fair, I also played it differently. The first time I just played through to the ending. This time I took my time and completed all the side-quests and collected all the items.
Hell, I didn't even realize there was a Red Mail to be found until I saw a Street Pass challenger with it.

Same for me too the DS games dont look that interesting more so fillers.
I should be ashamed to have not finished any Zelda Games. :-[
It's largely a clone of Link to the Past. It's a fun game, but ultimately, there's nothing really special about it. It didn't really stick with me after I was done with it. Instead of switching between worlds with the mirrors or portals, it's done by sticking against the wall and sliding through cracks.

The game shares similarities with Link to the Past because it's set in the same world and pretty close to the same timeframe.
But there's a TON of differences in there to make it an entirely new game and experience.

I found it generally enjoyable, but not a terribly new experience. It was made to tickle nostalgia, and it sort of did that, but not really. Instead, it just felt kind of like a derivative of Link to the Past.

I finished The Keep on the 3DS. If you love old school, western-styled dungeon crawlers--like, say, Legend of Grimrock--and want more of that, and portable, then you should get The Keep. The game is far too rare a gem on the 3DS, but is a fantastic experience, even if it doesn't do a lot too terribly new. The only issue I had was the somewhat awkward learning curve for physical attacking, but after I realized I wasn't just supposed to swipe the touch-screen like a madman, it fell into place and was very enjoyable.

Yeah, I had to start a whole new game. I'd left off previously in the final dungeon, but - probably owing to some bad decisions made along the way - had been struggling a bit. This time around, I had much more of a system in place as far as each characters equipment, my preferred party, etc. Had Lightning set w/ the Enkindler and Boost Synthesis, Fang w/ the Venus Gospel and Gestalt Synthesis, and Vanille spamming Saboteur goodness like crazy. Had to switch to Hope in the final area, though. Saboteur suddenly takes a nosedive in effectiveness and Synergist becomes almost mandatory, and I couldn't bring myself to use Sazh because he sucks as both a Ravager and Commando :p

Beat Frederic: Resurrection of Music on Chopin difficulty a while back, wasn't too difficult of a game and was short, but a pretty fun experience for a few bucks. Dodonpachi Saidaioujou gameplay modes- This game offered 5 different modes, inculuding a xbox 360 story mode which had a lot of dialogue, and forces you to play as the Type D doll, but it has auto-bomb mechanics for novice players, and is the only mode to let you practice against the extra bosses Hibachi and Inbachi w/o any special requirements. The game is pretty difficult, but I'm going to keep working at improving my score and continuing to get better at dodging all of those bullets, considering the max output of bullets in the game is around 6k.

That would have to be a personal call. The language is there, more in like the beginning and then off and on through the game itself. Myself, I don't particularly think this is a game that would be great for kids to watch even if they were fine with the very bloody violence.

For the 2nd time. This is one remake I can say stands shoulders-to-shoulders with the original. Love this game!
But damn, you have to play through like 4 times over to unlock everything. I've played the original probably a 100 times over, so I'm no newb at this. I search every nook and cranny for invisible gems and invisible walls. I did unlock all the music, though, which is all you REALLY want to unlock.
I LOVE THAT GAME!!! DuckTales Remastered is done right! If only Capcom would make more games like that.

Seriously. The original version is ridiculously expensive.
Yeah, I broke my "I won't pay $100 or more for a video game" rule to land that one.
We could get the Famicom version but....
But I can't read Japanese.

I finished Metroid: Other M on Sunday. It was a pretty enjoyable game, but the ending kind of came out of nowhere for me. Luckily there is an epilogue that allows you to actually finish collecting everything. I'm still trying to figure out if the game scratched my Metroid itch though. I don't think so. Think I might pop in Super Metroid for that ;D

Is the Famicom version worth less? That's surprising. Disney is incredibly popular over there, because of that I'd think it would have been a collector's item over there too.

I just finished the main story in Fantasy Life. :D It was a fantastic game and I'd definitely recommend it. It took me a little over 40 hours to finish it, but it could be finished faster if you focus more on finishing story missions than doing other stuff. You can still play after you finish the story, and there's definitely still lots to do. I feel like if I kept playing, I could probably get at least 100 hours out of the game before I ran out of fun things to do. The multiplayer adds a lot of fun to the game too, and the online multiplayer works pretty well too.

I just finished the hardest CRPG ever made, Wizardry IV! I only died 75 times 8) While I did achieve the Grandmaster ending, I did have to consult a guide quite a bit as some of the puzzles are near impossible and the maps are crazy, especially the Cosmic Cube. http://www.tk421.net/wizardry/wiz4maps.shtml
Quote
"The Return of Werdna" is considered an extremely difficult game; the designer was Roe R. Adams III, a well-known gamer and writer who reportedly was the first to solve Time Zone.[1] Computer Gaming World stated, "This game was designed expressly for the expert Wizardry player."[4] Knowledge of the first game of the series is vital to completing Wizardry IV. It is equally unforgiving of mistakes and bad luck as its predecessor trilogy, but unlike the trilogy, there are no experience points for defeating enemies, and therefore no reward for surviving difficult battles, or opportunities to grow stronger at the player's pace. The only way a player may grow stronger is to fight their way through the current level, and find a pentagram on the next level, no matter how overwhelmingly difficult the foes on the current level may be. Some of these foes include ninjas capable of killing Werdna instantly with a critical hit, mages with area-effect spells that can wipe out entire parties of monsters, thieves who can steal items that are critical to completing the game, and clerics capable of resurrecting Werdna's fallen adversaries.
Like the previous trilogy, mapping out levels is vital to avoid becoming lost. But the difficulty of mapping out levels is increased exponentially. While the previous games included occasional traps that could throw the player's maps off, such as dark areas, teleporters, pits, chutes, and rotating floors, these traps and many more are abundant in "The Return of Werdna". An early level contains a minefield, with an invisible safe path that can only be discovered through exhaustive trial and error. Another level is a series of seemingly identical intersecting pathways, with rotating floor tiles on each intersection. At the top of the dungeon is the Cosmic Cube, a 3D maze consisting of dozens of rooms, connected by passageways, chutes, ladders, and teleporters, all of which have their own unique tricks, traps, and mapping difficulties. In addition, some of the most deadly foes in the game roam the cosmic cube, and because it contains the final pentagram, no further strengthening is possible.
Another major example that seriously hinders unfamiliar players is the seemingly impossible task of exiting the very first room. The only way out is a hidden door which may be revealed by casting a "light" spell called "Milwa". The only way to do this is to recruit a group of Priests. This seemingly-simple task is made unintuitive due to the lack of any evidence that there is a door to begin with; the necessity of recruiting a group of Clerics, which are ineffective in combat and take the place of effective combat recruits; and the need to enter combat until the Clerics cast this spell. There is no suggestion in the context of the game as to what Milwa or any other Cleric spell name means; only players familiar with prior Wizardry games would understand its function. To a player unfamiliar with these earlier Wizardry titles, it would seem that the Clerics cast a useless spell. Furthermore, the Milwa/Light spell eventually expires, meaning that there is a limited time to find the door once the spell is cast. (Acknowledging the difficulty of this very first puzzle in the game, Sir-Tech included a sealed envelope in the game package containing its solution, to be opened if the player couldn't figure it out on their own.)
You are also constantly followed by a ghost that can move through walls and instantly kills you Sir-Tech actually put there phone number in the game so you could call them if you actually found the best ending :o I played the Japan PS1 remake and the Japan developers changed the phone number to their website which I thought was cool. (http://i.imgur.com/1d06pPhl.jpg)
While I did like the game, I am glad to finally be done and moving on through the rest of the games.

Mobile Light Force 2, ( Castle of Shikigami) using 3-4 credits. Compared to Mobile Light Force 1(Gunbird) which I completed earlier this year, its still a really butchered port with few options besides practice mode and difficulty change. Personally, the game doesn't interest me enough to warrant a 1cc try soon. However, there is a Castle of Shikigami 2( need to pick up) and Castle of Shikigami III(which I have) that are apparently are overall better games and have better ports to their systems so I'll have to see how that goes.

Dragon Age: Inquisition - A good 80 hours put into the game, with probably about 90% of the game complete. Overall I very much enjoyed the experience. It's very flawed, lots of stuff needed to be cleaned up and worked on and from what I hear in comparison to past games, it's lacking in a few areas, but I was definitely into the game. I played as Qunari Warrior first and I might go back through the game again as an Elven Archer, using the Dragon Age Keep website for changing the story, and doing a few of the alternate story options. Should be enough to get me another full playthrough out of that.
Far Cry 4 - Lesser enjoyment out of this one. It's a solid shooter with a cool setting that I think was great to have, but unlike DA: Inquisition, the choices you make in the story just seem awful and forced. One or two times you actually get to make a choice that is yours alone, but they don't mean anything. I really liked Far Cry 3 and had hoped that Far Cry 4 would be an overall bigger improvement, and in some spots it is, but too much felt copied over and it has me worried that Ubisoft will go Assassin's Creed with the series now that it has a successful mold to follow. Minor additions, new setting, but generally stays the same. I hope not.

I finished Dragon Age: Inquisition yesterday after around 100 hours. The PC version is very buggy, took a while just to get it to work without crashing often (have to play in windowed mode). Not sure how complete I was though I did get all of the shards, rifts, landmarks, and all but one region (seems a lot of people are missing a region in Exalted Plains, could be a bug). Missed four bottles and a bunch of mosaic pieces. Also had a few missions in the War Room remaining when I decided to finish the game. I played as a male Qunari Rogue (dual blades), though due to a bug (until the last patch) every NPC thought I was female, often referring to me as she or lady. Right after I finished I did start up a new game on nightmare difficulty as a female elf mage. Not sure if nightmare will be too tough since I generally let the companions do their own thing and they can do some dumb things, especially when fighting dragons. Normal difficulty was easy though, mostly because I spent a lot of time in the first few areas so I leveled higher than most areas were designed for when I eventually got to them. I was level 24 when I finished the game.

Yeah the AI was pretty poor and it did get annoying when fighting dragons. I think I was 22 or 23 when I finished. It wasn't just bugs though as I felt a lot of the problem was simply polish. A lot of animations looked bad, where the camera was supposed to be (So many times it was just staring at my Qunari's chest lol), and a lot of the modeling wasn't great as constantly I would see characters have clothing parts just sticking out or like Solas not being able to wear a hood properly cause of his ears. Too much gear was made to be a default style, but never went back to clean anything up to make sure stuff meshed well.

I would highly recommend Fantasy Life! I played child of light a while ago during the summer. Man, for 14.99 or whatever it cost at the time, it was worth it. That game has a very unique art design and the game play is awesome. I loved it!

Yeah my 3DS has been lonely since I beat Bravely Default and was looking to add something to it . Fantasy Life seems like just the recipe I need to spice it back up.

1. Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (GBA) 2. Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (GBA) 3. Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (DS) 4. Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara (XBox Live Arcade) (I beat both games: Tower of Doom & Shadow of Mystara) 5. The Legend of Zelda: Link Between Worlds (3DS) 6. Mega Man Legends (PS1) - Beat Again 7. New Super Mario Bros. 2 (3DS) 8. Super Mario 3D Land (3DS) 9. WWE 2K14 (XBox 360) 10. Spyro: Year of the Dragon (PS1) 11. King's Field II (PS1) (King's Field III outside the U.S.) 12. Raiden Fighters (XBox 360) 13. Raiden Fighters 2 (XBox 360) 14. Raiden Fighters: Jet (XBox 360) 15. Golden Sun: Dark Dawn (DS) 16. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (XBox 360) 17. Raiden III (PS2) 18. Legend of Zelda: Link Between Worlds (3DS) 19. Batman: Arkham Origins (XBox 360) 20. Raiden IV (XBox 360) 21. WWE 2K15 (XBox 360) 22. DuckTales: Remastered (XBox Live Arcade) 23. MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf (XBox)
Now what I mean by "completed" is that I unlocked enough stars to open all the levels in the "NES Remix 1" and "NES Remix 2" categories. Then I beat all those levels. There's still plenty of game-specific challenges left to play through, though.
Just got the game this afternoon, and I haven't put it down. I had to charge my 3DS eventually, so I stopped. I'm freaking loving it!

Dang, Metal Gear Rising was shorter than I thought lol Beat it in something like 5 hours on normal. Great game though. Gets a bit bogged down in the usual Metal Gear tropes of codecs and philosophical discussions, but still just a stupid fun game. That final battle is RIDICULOUSLY hard, even on normal. I died just a few timess before that, but of all the times I did in the game, I must've died 3 or 4 times there lol Big recommend on the steam sale right now.

Just picked up "To The Moon" today on steam and also just finished it. Its a pretty quick game only took me about 3 1/2 hours to beat. BUT DAMN..That game was good. Had me all teary eyed at some points and laughing and smiling at others! I would honestly have to put it in my top 5 games of all time. I highly recommend for any who haven't played.

Just 100% finished Shadow of Mordor. That game is amazing although the final 2 fights are about as unappealing as it gets. It doesnt take away from everything else though. I really enjoyed the entire playthrough. Ended at about 50 hours played total btw.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. Not 100% complete, but I've gotten about 85% of diamonds collected already, so that's not too far off. Also got a The King of Fighters XIII 1cc on my first try. I was pretty surprised, to say the least.

Shadow of Mordor. Pretty good, the Uruk Captain system is cool, using the Batman combat was a smart idea, overall a nice simple open world experience that doesn't feel bogged down by too many unnecessary extras. Most of the collectibles and side missions feel like they work into the story and background generally (Not everything though, like the...symbol stuff. Oooo...you made a bright mural on the wall. Oh, I didn't get anything for completing it? Sure, thanks). Definitely recommend it as it's not a slog to complete. I have it like 90% done with about 14 hours into it.
The only complaints I really have are that the last two boss fights are garbage. They aren't even fights. Seemed really half-assed.

Nice, Star Fox 2 isn't too bad on normal difficulty and feels easier than Star Fox 1 in some ways to complete on one credit. It was pretty surprising to get those, especially sometimes with arcade games which are designed to be on a high difficulty level. From what I remember for KoF XIII, it was just 6 stages with 3 on 3 teams, and then the final fight against Ash's brother. My brother had this game on iOS so he said it was difficult, but it didn't seem that way, since the controls and gameplay felt very smooth, fast, and was easy to pull off special moves compared to some other fighters out there. It just seems interesting how the core of a game can make it much easier or harder to progress through the main mode.

Using only 1 continue! (albeit on easy mode) Great vertical shoot-em up. Done in an exaggerated WII-style with lots of planes to choose from and power-ups. Any shoot-em up fan should enjoy this one.
The best part for shoot-em up fans: It's still an affordable 2D shoot-em up on the PS1 (I recently picked this up for about $10).

I just finished up Dragon Warrior 2. I was good with the game up until you get the ship. Once that happens, it literally doesn't tell you where to go. Each town has some rumor or hint about things, but it usually refers to something you haven't even arrived at or left a long time ago. So from that point on, I used a guide as it didn't tell me at all how to proceed.
This game was brutally hard in many ways. Lots of grinding, no ethers so everything you do has to be doable with the MP you have. Once I got to the Road to Rhone, the game got insanely difficult. At this point I used the Game Genie to just get to the end of the game.
Good story, GREAT music, but the pacing, difficulty, required grinding, and lack of direction got to me after a while. Still, glad I played it. I'll have to play 3 at some point here. Maybe after I play something else to take a break from RPGs. Maybe Shovel Knight!

I didnt think DW 2 was all that bad. But I will agree with the boat assessment. Its easy to get lost in the game once you get it cause it opens up the map like 10X bigger than it was before it. I personally think 3 was the toughest of the NES titles. 4 is only tough cause there are different scenarios to deal with.
Glad to see people enjoying the old school DW games ... now if they would just release some of the new stuff!!!!

I'm in the middle of Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen on DS, right now. I'm loving it. It's both a great nostalgic trip back to Dragon Warrior IV (the 2nd RPG I ever completed (the 1st DW being the first one)), and it's a HUGE improvement on the original game in graphics, sound, and playability (not every little thing is menu-driven anymore, there's some direct-interaction in the world).

Brad - What's DQ VII like & how does it hold up today/how's it aged?
It's 1 of my PS1 games that I'd really like to get to, but - from what I've read, it's extremely long and (like lots of my favorite games), it seems to be very much of a "Love it or Hate it" kind of game.
worth playing?
think I'd like it?
I liked the only one I've played (DQ VIII); are they similar?
Title: Re: Recently completed/finished

1. Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (GBA) 2. Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (GBA) 3. Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (DS) 4. Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara (XBox Live Arcade) (I beat both games: Tower of Doom & Shadow of Mystara) 5. The Legend of Zelda: Link Between Worlds (3DS) 6. Mega Man Legends (PS1) - Beat Again 7. New Super Mario Bros. 2 (3DS) 8. Super Mario 3D Land (3DS) 9. WWE 2K14 (XBox 360) 10. Spyro: Year of the Dragon (PS1) 11. King's Field II (PS1) (King's Field III outside the U.S.) 12. Raiden Fighters (XBox 360) 13. Raiden Fighters 2 (XBox 360) 14. Raiden Fighters: Jet (XBox 360) 15. Golden Sun: Dark Dawn (DS) 16. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (XBox 360) 17. Raiden III (PS2) 18. Legend of Zelda: Link Between Worlds (3DS) 19. Batman: Arkham Origins (XBox 360) 20. Raiden IV (XBox 360) 21. WWE 2K15 (XBox 360) 22. DuckTales: Remastered (XBox Live Arcade) 23. MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf (XBox) 24. Ultimate NES Remix (3DS)
So here's my final list of completed games in 2014. Didn't quite make it to 25, would have been nice to see that round number. (Unless you count me beating DuckTales Remastered over and over again.) But still, I did pretty good. Especially considering I don't consider myself to be a good at gaming. I enjoy it a lot, but I'll never be a gaming wizard.
I also have a feeling my 2015 list will be a lot shorter with my new baby girl.

I think that if I was younger, had played it back then, and had the patience we had back then, I'd have enjoyed it no problem. As it stands, I'm a little too time constrained to really grind. Like I said, I enjoyed a bunch of it. I'm a little scared to hear that 3 might be harder. Oh well. Time to shape up and buckle down :D.

Last year, I finished Destiny (not including DLC), Tomb Raider Definitive Edition, The Walking Dead Season 2, Killzone Shadow Fall, Last of Us Remastered, Metal Gear Solid V Ground Zeroes, Injustice and a bunch of others I can't remember. Have a pretty large backlog right now, but have been spending too much time playing Plants Vs. Zombies Garden Warfare with my daughter. 8)

Haven't stopped by here (this thread) recently.
I guess I finished (and got myself a hard-earned & challenging Platinum trophy) for Tears to Tiara 2 a week or 2 ago ;D
and -
a few days after that...I jumped right into & started playing the (PS3) game Class of Heroes 2G.
The platinum is looking unlikely :-\
Anyone else here play and/or remember Star Ocean 3: TtEoT?
Remember those maps *and* the way you'd need to move to every possible square on it...some of which you needed special tools/abilities to reach (1st outlining it, then trying to fill-in the rest of it) to get that (I think it was either a) bonus, battle trophy; or, maybe both for getting the map's 'counter' to say/read that you've "100%-ed it?
Same idea for one of the trophies here, only...multiply the # of maps & areas AND the *size* of said maps & areas by 10 to 20 times :o
That aside - I'm loving the game and - if like me - you have (an) addictive personality or tendencies = prepare to be hooked; 'tis 'Class of Crack! 8)

How about Cross Edge? :P Just kidding, that one's even more time consuming than the plat for Tales of Xillia 2 (from what I've read). The next plat I have my eyes set on is the plat for inFAMOUS First Light (PS4). It's not too time consuming or difficult, and the game's pretty fun from what I've played so far.
Hmmm, what game should I start playing next? I have a few games in particular that I really really want to play, but I can't decide what to start with. Right now I'm trying to choose between Cross Edge (PS3), Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention (PS Vita), Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2 (PS Vita), Tales of Hearts R (PS Vita), and Tears to Tiara II (PS3). Any suggestions?
Title: Re: Recently completed/finished
Post by: disgaeniac on January 27, 2015, 11:45:44 am
Cross Edge?
That's the only game I've ever platinumed twice - on 2 separate PSN accounts 8)
IMO, the 'hardest' & most time consuming part of Cross Edge, is that *Huge* initial learning curve / difficulty spike that is learning, getting used to & comfortable with, and remembering how all of the many different systems + gameplay mechanics work.
It's A LOT to take in.
It seems (initially) overwhelming & intimidating; seriously - it's the 1st & only game that I've ever felt like I had to "study" (ie: read & re-read) so much about it, until it finally all clicked.
Having played & platinumed both Cross Edge & Tears to Tiara 2 + knowing a bit about the games that you (we) like, I'll give ya some considerations to help you decide ;)
Tears to Tiara 2 - Much better story & OST
Cross Edge - IMO, the best & deepest combo/combat system to ever grace a RPG - You'll like & get a kick out of all of the playable N1 (and more) characters, like:
Etna & Prinny from Disgaea,
Morrigan, Lilith, Felicia, Demitri, and Jedah from Darkstalkers,
Shurelia, Misha, Aurica, and Lyner from the 1st Ar tonelico game,
Lily, Whim, and Raze from Mana Khemia 2,
Meu & Zelos from Spectral Souls, and probably another 10 or so exclusive to Cross Edge.
Platinum-wise = I could *easily* plat Cross Edge...twice, in the same amount of time that it'd take to plat Tears to Tiara...once :o

Seeing as though I'm starting to feel apathetic about FFXII, I'm leaning towards Tears to Tiara II as my next RPG-Platquest.
Cross Edge is a great game. It starts you off in no-man's land, but once things click, you will wonder why other creators don't make battle systems as fun.

Most of Dragon Age was played in December though and the first episode of The Wolf Among Us I played a year ago when it was given away for free on XBLA. I'm trying to cut back on gaming this year but I sunk quite a bit of time into some of those games. Even Railroad Tycoon's campaign took me 21 hours. I picked that one up in the recent Steam holiday sale. I had never played Plants vs. Zombies before and was just browsing my Steam library Saturday and decided to try it. Steam says I played that 7.9 hours though some of that was playing the mini-games.

Most of Dragon Age was played in December though and the first episode of The Wolf Among Us I played a year ago when it was given away for free on XBLA. I'm trying to cut back on gaming this year but I sunk quite a bit of time into some of those games. Even Railroad Tycoon's campaign took me 21 hours. I picked that one up in the recent Steam holiday sale. I had never played Plants vs. Zombies before and was just browsing my Steam library Saturday and decided to try it. Steam says I played that 7.9 hours though some of that was playing the mini-games.
Which system did you play Wolf Among Us on (I've got the PS4 version), and how did you like it?
thoughts on it being playable one-handed?
I haven't played The Wolf Among Us yet, but if it's anything like Telltale's other recent games then I'd say it's fairly one-hand friendly.

I played it on the 360 though I assume it plays the same on all of them. Telltale retail discs are always a little buggy though, especially when they do the recaps before each episode. They tend to be choppy, have audio issues, and take a very long time to load. The game itself tells a good story I thought. I've never read the Fables comic book though so I can't say how similar it is. Playing one-handed is probably not too difficult. There are quick-timer events but less than The Walking Dead, or at least a lot less life and death situations, and they seem more forgiving. I've died a number of times in the two seasons of The Walking Dead and didn't die a single time in The Wolf Among Us. Each episode is only about 90 minutes and most of that is conversations, not as many scenes with general looking around as The Walking Dead had. Hopefully you've played The Walking Dead or these comparisons aren't of any help :D

Just finished up The Swapper today on the PS4. It's a very enjoyable (though relatively short) puzzle oriented game. Throughout the game, you explore an old broken-down space station and complete puzzles to earn "orbs" that allow you to access new areas and progress the story. The puzzles are short, but get pretty challenging at the end and are satisfying to finish. I would recommend the game to anyone who has PlayStation Plus, as it is free for the month of January (only a couple days left to download it).

Well, I'm as close to beating this one as I'm gonna get, at least. I've gotten all the way to the final battle against Psaro the Manslayer. But I've battled him multiple times now and every single time my entire party gets wiped out. And I have the best gear.
Anyways, besides that crazy-hard final battle, the game was VERY enjoyable. So much so that I'm on a Dragon Quest kick now. I also picked up DQ VI on DS and DQVIII on PS2.
I originally played this game as DW IV on NES. And I loved it then. But the updated graphics and controls do wonders to this game and make it that much better.

What's your setup for Psaro? Depending on far you get in the battle, and your party members, you might have to adjust your strategy to beat him, since I distinctly remember that Psaro has a ton of attacks at his disposal, and I remember that buffing up during certain phases as well as endurance was the only way to get past this battle, since his total hp is somewhere close to 12,000. I know that the secret final boss for the ds remake was a lot more of a pain in the ass than psaro's 7 form battle.

Just beat Dying Light. Overall I liked it, a definite improvement over Dead Island, though they simplified the weaponry and crafting items in this game and I felt it lacked variety because of it, but it's a lot of fun running around, climbing buildings, grapple hooking around, smash zombie skulls in, and it even has some enjoyable asymmetrical multiplayer.

Just finished up inFAMOUS: First Light (PS4) today. It's alright. I've never been a huge fan of the inFAMOUS series, and this one just feels like more of the same, but with a bit more polish. It's definitely not something I would've bought, but it was good fun for a PlayStation Plus freebie. It also has a pretty easy platinum trophy, which I might go for eventually, but for now it's just a bit too boring for me.

I know what you mean, its been ages since I've seen any Master System games for sale. I got lucky last year at a group garage sale, some guy had a box full of Master System games along with the console. Grabbed the whole lot and Master of Darkness was in it. Only problem was everything was completely covered in dust but I still managed to clean it all up, all looks new again 8)

Man I've been going slow this year. Guess that happens when you have a baby.
Good NES game. Action-platformer, that has some nice production-values, but a tad on the easy side for an NES game. By Konami. It's based on some toy-line that I honestly don't even remember (and I was a kid then, it must not have been too popular). You get to play as a tiny version of either Dracula or Frankenstein's Monster.
It's a pretty good game, especially considering it's a licensed game. Tight controls with a very cool little double-jump move. Light-platforming elements. Nice graphics for the NES. Since you're a tiny monster, everything else in the game is huge, and it looks cool seeing everything from that perspective, in 8-bit. And some REALLY GOOD NES music on this. That was the best part of this game.
The downside is the difficulty, though. It is a bit easy, as I mentioned. And it's not very long. I think it was 7, maybe 8 stages. I played it one-player and beat the game (albeit with one sliver of health left, but still, I haven't played this game since I was very little). It also has a two-player mode, which probably makes this game a breeze. Took me under an hour to beat it.
Well, that is until you get to the final stage. Then suddenly the henchmen enemies are much stronger, and you through a boss-rush of all the previous bosses in the game like Mega Man. And the final boss after that, while not too difficult, does take a lot of damage to take down.
All in all, though, if you find this one for cheap. Pick it up. Easy it may be, but it's still fun for a short play-through.

I played through To the Moon yesterday. It's an indie game and only about three hours long. Interesting game, though I didn't think it was as emotional as many of the Steam user reviews made it out to be. That said, the only reason to play it is for the story as the gameplay is limited. Most of the game involves jumping from one brief scene to another. You see what happened, click on five objects, and then do one quick and easy puzzle before moving onto the next scene (same type of puzzle throughout the whole game, just flipping some squares to make an image).
Last week I finished Valkyria Chronicles on PC. I had played through that on PS3 five years ago and just wanted to play it again so I got the PC version when it was on sale.

I freaking loved this game, so very much! If you like old-school gaming, action-platformers, good chip-tune music, and RPG-elements in your games; then you'll probably adore this as much as I did.
Take a bit of Mega Man, Castlevania, Zelda II, and DuckTales and mix them all-together and that's kind of how the gameplay is. It's an amalgam of the best NES games, but they blend it so well that it never feels like too much crammed in.
Get this game if you have access to it, you won't be disappointed.

I also got the plat for the game, which makes it my second platinum trophy of the year. :D It was a pretty fun game, though the last few trophies I had to get were kinda boring to get. It was a definite improvement over the original Senran Kagura and you can tell the developers did a lot to improve from the original, though I enjoyed the original Senran Kagura as well.

I loved every single second of this. A 3D Mario game with the sensibilities of the 2D series. This is the way 3D Mario should have always been, as far as I'm concerned. Don't miss this one if you're a Nintendo fan.

Mario 3D World is hands-down the best 3D Mario game ever made. I haven't played Super Mario 3D Land yet, but I think it would be similar to World. I hated Super Mario 64. I liked Sunshine, but never finished it. The Galaxy games were ok, but shooting from tiny space ball to another tiny space ball, running updside down, etc. never seemed too enticing for me. I really like the "New" Super Mario Bros. titles. They are like high-res versions of the classics.
Though I have to say this and some might get butt-sore over it....but Mario games are all basically the exact same thing. Each new game is more like an add-on pack. Pretty much, the bulk of the Mario titles are about Peach being kidnapped and Mario going through levels to save her. Fun? Yes. Repetitive? Yes.

Someone who agrees with me on the 3D Mario titles! I feel the same way. I didn't enjoy SM64, I really liked SM: Sunshine, and I thought Galaxy was just okay.

Great game that blends the mythology and characters of Legend of Zelda with the gameplay of Dynasty Warriors. Kept my interest through-out.
Glad I didn't pay the full $60 price for it, though, as it does feel quite similar to past Dynasty Warrior games, which I've played plenty of already.

Great 2D Mario game. In an age of handholding, this game actually held a little bit of a challenge. There was still a wealth of 1-Ups to be found like most modern-Mario games. But the levels took a few tries often times.
If your looking for something new, this isn't the game, though. This is the tried and true 2D Mario formula that most of us have come to love. And it's still fun after all these years. You do get a new Squirrel Mario suit, which gives you a gliding mechanic. As well as the new Ice Flower, which is like the Fire Flower but ice; you freeze enemies with it. And Yoshi returns!
Check it out if you like Mario and have a Wii U! Plenty of levels to keep you busy.

Dragon age 2 was pretty awful, but I'll give the series its due because the first one was absolutely incredible, inquisition was pretty good and I would recommend it, and we'll pretend 2 never happened :)

Thanks to maximo310, I recently got this game in a trade. Had a blast with them both. But they are like ridiculously short. I literally beat both games in under an hour. And the Wii Mote actually makes things a little too easy, compared to the original machinegun set-up.

I love the DQ series. But then, I started on RPGs with DW 1 & 4. So it had a huge influence on me. Considering that, I may have a bias towards the series.
And DQ games are stand-alone titles, like FF games. It doesn't matter which order you play them in. I would stay away from the original NES DW games, at least at first, just because they are so primitive that they may turn you away.
DQ IV on DS is actually a pretty good start. Nice solid story but not too complicated. And the first one in the series to focus more on characterization and making each character have individual personalities. It's really emphasized because you play a single chapter as a character in your party, but by themselves. Then by the end of the 3rd (or 4th?) chapter your characters come together in a party.
I'm actually right before the final dungeon on DQ VI, right now.

With the rumors of new Rock Band and Guitar Hero games, I decided to seek this one out, being a metal-head and all. Quick play through (guitar) with only 20 tracks, but enjoyable. Especially when I got it sealed for only $5.
But if I had paid any good amount for it, I would have been disappointed. They really could have picked some better songs. There were really only a handful of songs I REALLY liked. A lot of them fit in more with "hard rock" than they did metal.

I'll let Kashy talk about all the rest since it's been ages since I've played Crisis Core or Dirge of Cerberus (both good games I remember) but I played the PSP version of FFT about a year ago. It's not so much a remake as it is just a port. They did fix some things and completely retranslated the game, but as far as looks and what not, I think it's the same. If you've yet to play FFT, I'd recommend the PSP version as the story makes a bit more sense now that it's been translated better. It's still a great game though. Especially if you like religious/politically driven story lines :D.

BurningDoom's 2015 Beaten Games List: 1.Strikers 1945 (PS1) 2. Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen (DS) 3. Monster in my Pocket (NES) 4. Shovel Knight (Wii U) 5. Super Mario 3D World (Wii U) 6. Hyrule Warriors (Wii U) 7. New Super Mario Bros. U (Wii U) 8. Arcade Hits Pack: Gunblade NY & LA Machine Guns (Wii) 9. Rock Band: Metal Track Pack (PS2)
Freaking love Dragon Quest games. This one was no different. Great traditional JRPG with lots of exploration involved. The game is seriously MASSIVE! There are two entire worlds to explore, the dream world and the real world. Each with multiple continents chock full of towns and dungeons. In one world you can take your ship under the ocean and explore the entire ocean floor, even. And then there's even a third, smaller, dark world at the end of the game. I put in 50 hours into this bad-boy.
This one is well worth it's money in gameplay time and content. Check this one out for sure, DQ fans!

Great little platformer! (If you can call it that, there is no jumping, but otherwise it feels like one)
People say it's too short, I thought it had plenty of content. 3 main "storylines". 2 with 20 levels, one with 30, making a total of 70 levels. If you own Super Mario 3D World (which I do), it unlocks another set of levels as well. Then when you beat the game, it unlocks bonus levels. And of course there's special coin-run levels. Plenty to do for $40!
And I had a blast going through it all! As others have said, it's not too hard, though. But it was just puzzling enough to keep me coming back.
Check it out, Wii U owners. Worth the $40.

Treasure tracker is really a great game. Apparently at some point the Toad Amiibo will unlock a Toad Sprite hunt through all the levels. Not sure if they've updated the game for that yet.

I just completed a long-overdue Metal Gear Solid marathon. I'd already finished MGS2 and I'd played most of MGS1 and knew how it ended, but I'd wanted to finish the others for so long.
Found the Legacy Collection in Game which sparked it. Bought that, went home, blitzed through MGS1 with an Action Replay because I'm lazy and I suck, then I played through MGS2 again, finally finished MGS3 and MGS4, then finished Metal Gear Rising. Then almost immediately after doing so the news broke that Kojima Productions is disbanding. Goddammit.
Still need to play Peace Walker, but yeah, that's my recent finish.

I finished Final Fantasy 4: The After Years this afternoon. It was quite the slog. I don't know if it was the fact that I had just played through 4 again, but man was it annoying playing through all the same areas again. At the end, the story got interesting, so I guess it was worth it?
Man that last dungeon is super long. You know it's bad when you get 4 different sets of armor for Cecil throughout the whole thing. Loved seeing the Ghost Train from VI and Gilgamesh from V in the dungeon though.

One of my all-time favorite games. I've played through it I don't know how many times, but I still seem to uncover some little secret I haven't found before. No different this time. Found a treasure-stash in a hidden door in the floor...I didn't even realize there could be hidden doors in the floor!

Copying this in from the other thread...
(http://i.imgur.com/KRukuTu.jpg)
Well I can finally say that I beat Majora's Mask. I think I made it as far as the western ocean area in my original playthrough years ago on the N64, but I didn't like the time mechanic. And I sadly still don't. I feel like in concept, it is a kinda cool idea, I just don't find it very fun. Having to restock with every restart, having to do specific things on specific days and at generally specific times...Couldn't really get into that very much. Personally, it just makes me groan thinking about completion as I only got about half the masks in the game or having to get the heart pieces. Not something you ever want to feel in a Zelda game. I do think the game does some good things, being darker and weirder and having more characters than Zelda usually does and I feel like it's something Nintendo should consider for the open world Wii U game coming up. Varied sidequests, odd characters, stuff that makes you interested in wanting to see where the little plots go. It's a solid Zelda title, but of the 3D releases, it's still on the lower end for me below Ocarina, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess.

Beat them both via the NES Remix Pack on Wii U. When I say "beat them", I mean I unlocked all the games and I beat all the remix & bonus levels. I did skip some game-centric themes like Golf and Tennis, just because I have no interest in them, though.
Lots of fun if you like classic NES games. Makes mini-games out of Nintendo best first-party games from the era. I was already familiar with the gameplay, because I have Ultimate NES Remix on 3DS. But these full console versions seem to have more bells and whistles win the production value.
Check it out. But I say try to get it cheap. While it is fun, it's good for short spurts of gameplay. So I wouldn't say it's worth $40-$60. Get it for under that.

I just beat Tales of Monkey Island.

I'd definitely be ok with a second series of MI in a Tales setting. Anything to keep me from remembering MI4 :p

This is what I did the last couple of days. Beat the 2nd quest of the original Legend of Zelda on NES.
I've played through the original quest a million times over, but I think I've only beaten the 2nd Quest, once. So while I do remember some things, a lot of it is new to me again because I've forgotten half of it. Lots of fun!
This is really made me want a dogbone-Style controller, though. As an adult, that little controller's corners really dig into your hands after long play-sessions.

After struggling with stupid glitched trophies for a few hours, I've 100% completed Home on the PS4. I thought the game was alright on my first playthrough, but after having to play through several times more than I should have because the trophies were bugged I can't stand this game anymore. It's a cheap game even when it isn't on sale, but do yourself a favor and just don't bother with it. I just wish I wasn't so stubborn that I didn't feel like I needed to get all the trophies so I would've quit playing instead of wasting an afternoon of my time. >:( To think, I could've used those 3 hours to play something good instead...

Two more games (sorta):
(http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/215258/header.jpg) 8.1 - Sleeping Dogs: Zodiac Tournament (April 17) A short event driven DLC where you star in a homage to 1960s and 70s martial arts films. Kinda short, but worth playing. All items found and story beat.
(http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/215256/header.jpg) 8.2 - Sleeping Dogs: Nightmare in North Point (April 18) An... imaginary story? Jiang Shi invade North Point and it's up to you to save it. Filled with lots of welcome humor. All achievements obtained (mostly stupid grindy ones, too.)
Yes, I am counting the game's DLC packs as a single game since they're short-ish in length. Up next is Year of the Snake.

I just tried the PC version of The Room (nothing related to the cult movie ;) ) and beat it after approximately 5 hours. I was really in the mood for a good puzzle game, and it hit the spot perfectly.

Not gonna count it as a separate entry, but I also beat Undead Nightmare a few days back. Beat the main-storyline and freed every town. Definitely a different, but still fun, experience. Not only the setting and atmosphere, the but zombies also make you use completely different tactics while fighting. Great way to change things up.

Battle Fantasia on the 360. It's another Arc System works fighter, but this time in a fantasy setting. Played through all of the story modes and arcade mode, and found that the story mode for each character is fully voiced and is fairly decent, ( although it doesn't compare to the story modes of other Arc System Works games). The combat system is interesting, although most of the characters aren't too different from each other in terms of power, and getting inputs for certain moves on a 360 controller wasn't working most of the time. The final boss was pretty cheap, and could only be broken through the heat up mechanic or special moves, since otherwise he'd barely take any damage with his super armor. Overall, it was a decent fighting game.

Well, after a few months I finally got a 1cc clear of Rayforce ( and it was just a few days before the Saturn port Layer Section came in the mail). My score was around 5 million but I think there's some room for improvement still in the last two stages. I'm close to clearing Layer Section as well too, even though the compressed saturn mode makes the game that much harder for playing.

Today I finished up Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven (3DS). I've got mixed feelings about it. For starters, the game felt a little short. It took me only a little more than 20 hours to finish, yet it also felt like it really dragged along towards the end. Enemies had far too much HP which made battles take far longer than they should have without actually adding any real challenge. For many battles, you'll spend some time clearing the map, but a lot of your time hacking away at the boss because it has ridiculously high HP (even on the easiest difficulty). This felt to me like a cheap way for the game to make it take longer to finish without really adding extra things to do. Aside from those minor complaints, it was fairly enjoyable. The game looked and sounded nice, and plays smoothly even when there's a ton of enemies onscreen. The story was alright and most of the characters were fairly likeable. If I had to rate it out of ten, I'd probably put it somewhere around 6 or 7. I wouldn't really recommend picking it up for the price it's at now, but if you're able to find a copy for $20 - $30 eventually I'd say it's worth it.

Great game, and still the best game in the series. With the two scenarios, it just feels bigger than most other RE games and gives you a lot more story.

Today I finished up Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven (3DS).
I'm starting to feel the same way as you and I'm only in Chapter 4. I think the battle system would be better if the enemies didn't have insanely high amounts of HP.

so im finally starting to record which games ive beaten but im also making my way through some older titles i have that i havent played in a long time.
1. Mario is Missing (super nintendo) talk about a boring game ive had this for at least 6 years now and last week i finally figured out how to play it. (not much for looking up walkthroughs or hints) I almost quit every other level but i manage to beat it. 2. Contra (nes) ive beaten this game many times but usually ive had to use the cheat code for lives. I decided not to consider this beat till i managed to beat it on 3 lives no continues which i managed to do just barely. 3. Mario paint (super nintendo) I recently aquired the mouse and board for this game so i decided to play it. I know there is really no beating this game so i explored, used and did everything this cart had to offer and beat the mini-game all 3 levels 4 times in a row on the same game. 4. Tony Hawks American Wasteland CE (ps2) the tony hawk series is actually one of my all time favorite serieses and this game didnt dissapoint me. i ran around and did almost everything i could. I beat all the missions and beat all the classic mode levels. i havent found all gaps and havent bought everything yet but everything else is completed.
Upcoming.
I plan on playing through banjo-tooie, super mario, and trying my hand at teleroboxer for the virtual boy.
also if anyone has any suggestions for good, cheap, or easy to find shoot-em-ups or Beat-em-ups it would be greatly appreciated.

I finished up Mighty Switch Force today on the 3DS. There's not a whole lot that I have to say about it. It's short little puzzle platformer sorta thing, but has a lot of replay value. The graphics and animations are really nice, and even the 3D effects are pretty cool. The music is awesome as well. It's not too expensive and I'd definitely recommend it if you're a fan of WayForward's other works.

Just finished Batman: Arkham City!
+ I thought that the game play was excellent: the stealth and action flowed really nicely together without them stepping on each other. All the combos and fighting was really fun. I also just enjoyed gliding through the city. Felt like Batman himself watching over everybody :D
- I thought the game was a little short story-wise. I haven't done all the side quests yet, and I didn't do the new game+, so there is some replay value left for sure. But I thought the main story could have had more to it. Also, detective mode was so OP haha.
My 2015 Completed List:
1. Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (GC) 2. Mario Kart: Double Dash!! (GC) 3. Silent Hill (PS1) 4. Call of Duty: Black Ops II (PS3) 5. ICO (PS3) 6. Call of Duty: Modern Warefare 3 (PS3) 7.

I'm glad you enjoyed NNK. I always tell people that playing the game is a struggle, but seeing it through to the end is worth the effort. Any plans on getting the platinum trophy? IIRC, it didn't take me that long in comparison to other RPGs.
I finished the Xel'lotath path in Eternal Darkness yesterday. So, I had no idea that this was allegedly the hardest the of the three options when you start the game. I said to myself, "Oh look! Green! My favorite color!" and that lead me to a rude awakening. Anyways, fantastic game. I'm not going to lie...I want to see the other paths now. That means I'm going to have to buy it since the copy I'm playing is my brother's.

I understand what you mean by the struggle. I felt like there were a lot of little things that bugged me here and there, and in regards to the ally AI I couldn't help but think that Tales has been doing this better for years. The game could've really benefited from a more in-depth tactics system to get your party members to actually do what you want. I don't plan on getting the platinum any time soon, but maybe I'll try for it if I ever decide to replay the game.

It's Dynasty Warriors. You hack-n-slash your way through waves of enemies, following the various changes on the battlefield. It's a bit prettier, and bit more refined than the last one.

Virtua Fighter 1 1cc. I decided to try something out that was suggested, crouch+ punch, and I couldn't believe how most of the AI opponents fell for this, even Dural most of the time. It's an AI flaw, and make most of the fights( except round 8 and dural) a breeze.

Played through all the tracks in Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA 2nd (PSP) on normal. I liked this sequel a lot more than the original Project DIVA on the PSP. I felt that it ran more smoothly on the PSP than the original, maintaining a steadier and higher framerate. There were more tracks in DIVA 2nd than the original as well, and I found I had more favorite songs in this entry than the original. I would definitely have to recommend importing it to anyone with a PSP who enjoys rhythm games.

I finished the main quest of Oblivion after doing some guild storylines for Mages/Fighters Guild. I'd say that it was a pretty enjoyable experience for my first Elder Scrolls game, even with the technical problems in the game mostly due to the leveling system and other stuff( pc can probably fix that); I did like the different side quests along with guild storylines. I also liked the custom magic system and enchanting equipment, and all of the different skills that can be leveled up. Now I need to decide on either Morrowind or Skyrim for my next ES game.

After playing Oblivion, Morrowind might be a bit rough around the edges to go back to. Skyrim is an amazing game, but they made it less RPG-ish by getting rid of character stats and replacing them with skill-trees.

how similar is Skyrim's game play to Oblivion's; if Oblivion was pretty easy one handed - should Skyrim's also be?

I don't think either game should be too difficult on normal difficulty ( Oblivion slider 50% w/ proper leveling, Skyrim adept difficulty). I think Skyrim improves quite a bit on the melee weapons combat and lets you dual-wield if you choose. The only minor downside I hear about combat is that magic has been toned down in Skyrim, especially since Oblivion gives you so many options as a spellcaster to create custom spells and become way too overpowered w/ proper leveling. In Skyrim, custom spells are removed, and it limits your combat options because of the delay in recharging spells. You can still be a powerful mage in Skyrim; but it takes quite a bit of more work and branching out to get to that point vs. being very easy in Oblivion. Melee is the easier way to go in Skyrim
Another thing that I noticed was that Skyrim's highest difficulty is made easier with melee weapons/archery, and that difficulty is defenitely easier than going all the way to the right on the slider for Oblivion.

Cleared Lords of the Fallen (http://vgcollect.com/item/86602) on PS4 today.
All the trophies that were obtainable before NG++ are done (http://psnprofiles.com/trophies/3049-Lords-of-the-Fallen/Turom), I'll do the 2 other runs for the 2 remaining endings later. Not sure about the DLC, it looks too expensive for now and not really interesting, I may get it when it gets cheaper for the trophies..
As a big Souls fan I enjoyed the game, the Darksiders-like artstyle was neat and the boss fights were entertaining. It doesn't match the greatness of a real Souls game thought.

The PSP version has some extra pecks, so I'd reccomend it over the PC version. Also beat( and 1cc) Wartech: Senko Ronde. This is an interesting fighter/shooter hybrid made by G.Rev that originated on the Sega Naomi GD-Rom system, and was ported to the 360 with some enhancements. It takes some time to get used to the combat and B.O.S.S systems, but I'd had a lot of fun with this and I really liked the art style and graphics. It's only a dollar at Gamestop, so I'd reccomend this to anyone with a 360 system, its a system that is unlike any other fighting game out there, and its a 360 exclusive.

Ys: OiF is fantastic. I'm glad you got a chance to enjoy it. Was this your first time with an Ys game?

Yes, this was my first game, although I've played other action-rpgs similar to the series. A friend of mine was working on Nightmare mode, and wanted me to try it out, so I took a shot at it. It was fun learning the boss patterns, although there were a lot of close calls on some bosses. I'm actually playing Ys: Origin because of this game too, and its also partially due to the fact that Ys: Memories of Celecta hasn't been whitelisted for PS TV yet so I'd need an actual Vita system to play it.

This game was a chore. The unique battle-system may be familiar to Elder Scrolls players, as it rewards your level-up by enhancing those skills or abilities you use the most. Well, that also applies to spell-levels. So you end up just grinding like hell to get certain magic-users spells and MP up. Only to have to do all over again when you discover a new spell.
So if you go into this game, expect to spend a good while doing random-encounters.
Otherwise it was pretty much your average 8-bit JRPG. Enjoyable, but repetitive. And it has a bit more of a focus on the characters involved, rather than just a generic save-the-world story like the first game.
On a side-note: It is the first game to feature the famous Chocobo.

Memories of Celceta is amazing. I played through that game twice in a row. Part of the reason was for the platinum, but the other part was because it was just so much fun. Calilica is my favorite character in it.

I've heard alot of good things about it, along with some of the changes they made as well. I'm really hoping to get a Vita to play or it, or hope that it gets whitelisted on PSTV. I got the Silver Anniversary Edition for Celecta, and the extra goodies inside including the 3 CD's were defenitely worth the upgraded purchase.

That soundtrack is badass. That's the main reason why I got the Silver Version. Then, you get a lovely compass and a lovelier art book/guide. Ys was the main reason why I got the Vita. As soon as I heard about it's localization, I bought a Vita that same day.

Post by: maximo310 on August 06, 2015, 12:54:46 am
Yeah, Falcom loves to include soundtracks as an option in many of their releases, which I really like as a cool bonus and usually includes a good amount of songs compared to some other publishers( SMT IV LE I'm lookin at you). I remember that the Oath in Felgana had a 8CD bundle for the Windows PC version in Japan, which I thought was pretty interesting, since before this point most of the arranged soundtracks I'd seen from Ys were mostly from Ys Book 1 and 2.
Edit: Ys Origin- Yunica story has been cleared. Overall, it's easier than Oath of Felgana except for a few bosses. Dalles from Ys II is the final boss this time around, and wasn't too bad on Normal. Gonna have to replay for the other two characters now.

Played through Yoshi's New Island over the past week. Nothing super great about the game, but it was a nice laid back platformer. Also played a lot of Super Nintendo recently with my aunt while I was visiting my grandparents and we finished Super Mario Bros 3 and did a 96 exit run of Super Mario World.

Finally got the platinum trophy in Mind Zero. I'm...not sure why I decided to go back to the game after being so annoyed by it the first time. I think part of me wanted to have a (incoming pun) mindless dungeon crawler, but didn't feel like playing something as involved as Operation Abyss or Demon Gaze. Another part of me wanted to prove that the game wasn't as hard as I made it out to be. It's just a shame that everything about it got thrown out the window. Characters, story, battles, customization, etc. all had a strong start but things just went 180 degrees at the end.
And yet...I couldn't put the game down. @_@

DBZ Budokai for Gamecube. This game's mechanics and graphics defenitely haven't aged well, and the difficulty spikes at certain points make it worse since pulling off special moves is way to difficult. Regular combos are too OP, and you don't get a chance to use different strategies. Not to mention that the story mode cuts out a huge amount of fights compared to later DBZ games.
The only positive here is that the Gamecube version gets cel shaded graphics compared to the PS2 version but that's about it.

Finished up Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes in anticipation of the release of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain in a little over two weeks (September 1st). It's short, but a lot of fun. There's lot's of replay value with some added missions and challenges as an incentive for multiple playthroughs.

Finished up another game today, IA/VT Colorful on the PlayStation Vita. I've played through all of the songs on Normal and have seen the credits roll, but I am far from done with this game. I have so many great things to say about it. It lived up to and exceeded all the expectations I had for it and I'm glad I preordered the game. Naturally, being a Japanese rhythm game featuring a vocaloid, it's going to be often compared to Hatsune Miku's Project DIVA series. Even compared to a well established and very popular series like Project DIVA, IA/VT Colorful hold up extremely well and in some cases I would even say it outdoes its competition. Let's start by looking at the difficulty. Project DIVA has four difficulties, while IA/VT only has three (Easy, Normal, and Hard). While songs on hard can certainly be challenging, the game is very lenient with how accurate your timing needs to be. A "Safe" hit could easily be a "miss" or an "awful" in Project DIVA. You can also still get a perfect chain on a track in IA/VT if you get safe on some notes, but a "safe" will cost you your perfect in PD. It's certainly more friendly to new players than PD can be at times, though I'm not saying that it's a better game because of this. One of the many things I like better in IA/VT compared to the Vita entries in the Project DIVA series is the controls. There's no notes that require any kind of touch responses, like the scratch notes in PD which I found a little annoying. I also enjoyed the track list overall better than Project DIVA f or F2nd, though that's entirely my personal preference. In terms of graphics, IA/VT Colorful is a beautiful game that certainly lives up to the use of "Colorful" in its title. Again this is rather subjective, but I'd have to say that the game's visual presentation outdoes its competition. Hopefully this will be the beginning of a new series, and not just a standalone title.
If you like Japanese rhythm games and own a PS Vita, I very strongly recommend you import the game immediately. The game's producer has said in an interview that the game will likely never see a release in North America due to the difficult nature of dealing with the rights to use the music in the game. There's some English in the game's menus as well so it's very import friendly.

Last night I finished the Japanese PS1 remake of Wizardry V: Heart of the Maelstrom. I have been slowly chipping away at it all summer, but put in a couple of nights of grinding till 3 AM over the weekend so I could finish before I move up into my college dorm this week. I have some mixed opinions about it, but overall it was an enjoyable experience.
Things I liked
The thief is finally not useless with the addition of being able to ambush monsters and use of ranged weapons
All of the floors are important, there are no useless floors like Wizardry 1
Fair experience rates, a welcome change from Wizardry 3 which had the absolute worst grind so far in the series.
More puzzles to solve in the dungeon, some of these were way too obtuse, but the ones that were designed well were welcome additions to the game.
The boss music was epic, and the entire endgame sequence in general was awesome, by far the best ending in the series so far.
Music starts at (42:55)
Things I disliked
The dungeon map sizes were doubled to 40x40, but all that extra space was left empty making navigating the maze intolerable
Way too many essential puzzle items with an inventory system not designed for puzzles. Sir-Tech's menus were very innovative in 1981, but the fact that they were able to get away with using the same game engine and wireframe graphics in 1988 is amazing to me. The PS1 remake has updated graphics of course, but the menu system is still the same and does not fit the more puzzle focused gameplay.
The swimming skill is pretty much useless and poorly implemented
The light spell no longer finds secret doors, leaving the player to randomly check walls in hopes of finding a secret door. In many cases there is a secret door and the player will search, but it is randomly calculated whether the party will actually find the secret door.
Overall I think Wizardry V was really close to being something great. Objectively it should be the highest rated of the original series, but I feel that it is too often held back by an archaic game engine and the size of the dungeon artificially lengthens the game. This marks the point in the franchise when Bradley took over though, after finishing Wizardry V he began the Dark Savant trilogy which by many is considered the absolute pinnacle of the series and meshes SciFi and Fantasy. I am interested to see the new direction the series goes, because in someways it feels like Wizardry 1,2,3, and 5 are all one long game which is maybe why I was a bit more negative on Wizardry V. A change of pace will be nice.
If anyone is interested in checking out the series the PS1 remakes are almost completely in English and have an automap so you don't have to pull out the graph paper. I was worried maybe some of the puzzles would be broken when translated between languages, but I played through all five games with no issues. I recommend at least playing one game of Wizardry in permadeath, but these versions do allow you to save.
My ranking of the series so far would be: Wizardry II: Knight of Diamonds, Wizardry I: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord, Wizardry IV: The Return of Werdna, Wizardry V: Heart of the Maelstrom, Wizardry III: Legacy of Llylgamyn.

WAAYYYY too easy for a shoot-em up. Beat it on my first play through, ever, no continues used. Granted it was on the easy setting, but I usually always start shoot-em ups on the easy setting and still don't beat it on the first play through, with no continues used.
Cool graphics, though, that uses full 3D polygons while still playing like a 2D shoot-em up. And as easy as it was, it was still fun for the short time it lasted. Generic music, though. Listen to a CD while playing this one.
Gotta say, though, it's quite the step-down from the earlier games in the series on the TurboGrafx-16 (Super Star Soldier and Final Soldier).

I never imported games on PS3/PS-Vita, how does it work? Do you have to create a different PSN account and use a different memory card for the PSVita? Can you have the trophies on your main account? Can you buy the DLCs?
I see that PS3 and Vita games are "region free" but I wonder what's actually the deal about it.

You don't need a Japanese region PSN account in order to play physical copies of Japanese games you've purchased. This applies to both the PS3 and PS Vita. There's no issues with trophies either, the trophies will show up on your French account, like it does on my Canadian one.
However, DLC is where things change. You will need to have a Japanese account in order to redeem codes or purchase the DLC to use for Japanese games. In the case of the PS Vita, you will need to have another memory card if you want to make a Japanese region account for the DLC. It requires a couple more steps too, but I haven't set up a Japanese account for myself yet, so I can't properly explain the rest. I plan on creating one soon though, since I want to redeem the DLC codes I got for preordering IA/VT Colorful. There should be plenty of resources on YouTube to help you create your own Japanese account, particularly with the Vita.
Another thing to note is that for some strange reason, North American copies of the original Persona 4 Arena is region locked. There's also a Japanese game PS3 called Joysound Dive which released exclusively to the Japanese PSN. It too is region locked. Other than those two, any game from any region should be playable on your (I'm assuming European) PS3 and Vita consoles. :)

It requires a couple more steps too, but I haven't set up a Japanese account for myself yet, so I can't properly explain the rest. I plan on creating one soon though, since I want to redeem the DLC codes I got for preordering IA/VT Colorful. There should be plenty of resources on YouTube to help you create your own Japanese account, particularly with the Vita.
Another thing to note is that for some strange reason, North American copies of the original Persona 4 Arena is region locked. There's also a Japanese game PS3 called Joysound Dive which released exclusively to the Japanese PSN. It too is region locked. Other than those two, any game from any region should be playable on your (I'm assuming European) PS3 and Vita consoles. :)
Thank you for taking the time to summarize this! Adding the game to my wishlist ;D
No problem, glad to help. :)
One thing to note that I forgot about in my last reply was compatibility issues with the PlayStation TV, or Vita TV. It works a little different than the PS Vita handheld. While the PS TV/Vita TV itself isn't region locked, due to weird compatibility issues, not just any game from any region will work on it, even if it may be compatible with one region. I haven't looked into this extensively, but I plan on looking into this soon when I buy a PS TV before they disappear from my area and Sony stops making them (since they seem to have given up on the device). IA/VT Colorful says on the box that it's compatible with the Japanese Vita TV, and according to something I found from a quick Google search, it does work on European PS TVs.

You don't need a Japanese region PSN account in order to play physical copies of Japanese games you've purchased. This applies to both the PS3 and PS Vita. There's no issues with trophies either, the trophies will show up on your French account, like it does on my Canadian one.

PSTV's work on a whitelist sort of function. If the game isn't whitelisted by Sony, it won't play, even if it technically can without any problems. This seems to be a licensing/support issue.
The hacking/homebrew scene has a couple work arounds that get past the whitelist. Sadly, the first thing I did when I got mine was update it which broke the exploits they use :(.

Ys Origin was completed with all three characters on Normal, and I've done all of the bosses on Normal/Hard. The only minor problem that I encountered is a bug for Toal's story, while leveling up after defeating Dalles causes the game to crash for some unknown reason. I told one of my friends to try it out in the future, especially since he's currently in a Ys : OiF Nightmare run and stuck on Zirduos, the cannon monster right now.

Today I finished Xeodrifter on the WiiU. It was enjoyable, and a decent challenge even though it was fairly short. I bought it a while ago on the 3DS, but never really got into it. Recently, the WiiU version was released, and available for free for those who had bought the 3DS version. It wasn't until then that I really gave it some time. It was completely worth the $2 I paid for it when it was on sale.

Finished Mega Man 4 on the 3DS Virtual Console. It's a fun Mega Man game, though not as challenging as some of the earlier games in the series. Not too much to say about it really. I'm looking forward to the release of the Mega Man Legacy Collection on the 3DS this winter, which now is planned to have a physical release. :D

Today cleared 100% normal mode of Zelda Skyward Sword (http://vgcollect.com/item/41418), 20 heart containers, all items obtained and crafted to max. level, all quests completed, all goddess cubes and 9900 rupee capacity.
The game had a pretty cool setting and there was a bunch of nice ideas in the plot, characters were appealing and interesting as always in Zelda games, though the holy. damn. motion controls ruined the fun of many sequences in the game. I know I will never play the game again nor play the hero mode only for this reason, this was a nightmare to play and all I wanted was going back to Twilight Princess on my GC to play with the wondrous GC controller. A shame really.

Last night, I finished everything in Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus. It was fun, but I'm glad that it's finished. By the time I got to Homura's story, I was sick of things. I wish I did her school and characters first or second. Instead, I finished them in this order: Hanzo, Gessen, Hebijo, Crimson. My favorite story was Hebijo's. Those characters were the most compelling, the most developed (tee hee) and they were the most fun to use in combat. Miyabi was my favorite girl in the entire game. She was an animal in battle. Her story was the most interesting. And she looked like Haruka from Sailor Moon. She was just a dream and I wish I had the chance to level her to 50 instead of the chicks from Hanzo.
My least favorite was the Gessen Academy. None of the characters were interesting and only Yozakura was fun to use. My least favorite character was Minori. She was awful in combat, had a disturbing design and didn't bring anything to the Gessen arc.
But, like I said, I'm glad I finished it because it was lots of fun. I'm headed home tomorrow and will be starting up either Lost Dimension or Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters.

Finished Mighty Switch Force 2 on the 3DS. More of the same, but now Patricia Wagon (the character you play as) is a firefighter. Now you've got fires to put out in addition to more puzzles to solve and new and old enemies to deal with. Same as last time, it's short to just play through but a lot of fun with tons of replay value and awesome music. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes puzzle platformers. Dat ending theme. Mmmm... ;D

Just finished Her Story (http://store.steampowered.com/app/368370 (http://store.steampowered.com/app/368370)) the other night, and I'd highly recommend it for anyone who loves a good mystery story. The game mostly involves the player searching through a database for videos of interviews/interrogations in order to piece together the story.
Gameplay-wise it's not anything more than that, so I compare it to games like Analogue: A Hate Story as it's mainly just about the story and revealing more and more as you go along.
Took maybe 8 hours or so for me, but most likely less than that for someone else :)

Just finished Brothers : A tale of two sons last night. What a ... weird ... playthrough. If you havent ever played the game, try to rent it first if possible. With non stop playing, the game is probably completed in about 10 hours. Playstyle is difficult. Left side of the controller is the older brother, right side of the controller is the younger brother. And you have to use both non stop and its pretty confusing to constantly control two characters simultaneously. The ending itself was pretty depressing.

I have to agree as well, doing a 120 Shine run is an absoulute nightmare! When I did that run, everything was good until finding those Blue Coins, and finding the last 10 or so took a week. Plus, the bonus ending screen you get for the 120 Shines is pretty dissapointing; its just a static screenshot of the various characters.

Yeah, that's what I've heard too. It would be nice if you could actually get a bonus, like a FLUDD that never runs out of water or something.
Also I imagine getting 100 coins per level would be super annoying too: since each shine spawns different amounts of coins in the level, you may pick the wrong one and waste a bunch of time before finding out you picked a level without enough coins >:(

The credits finished rolling in Hatsune Miku Project Mirai DX last night. I'm...slightly bummed by this title. It just lacked the flash and fun of the Project Divas, even though the song list was full of some good tracks. And hey, we got to see more Gumi.

Finished playing through all the songs in Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX (3DS) on normal today and saw the credits roll. I've also played a bunch of my favorites on hard and a few on "super hard", and plan to continue playing more. For the most part, I had a lot of fun with it. I like the cute visuals, I really like most of the songs, the Puyo Puyo minigame is fun, and it's nice Gumi was in a few songs instead of just the usual 6 vocaloids. Another nice touch is the ability to change the colour of the note icons, which is useful if you're having difficulties getting used to the defaults. I really only have a couple complaints, the first being the difficulty. Unlike the Project DIVA series, there's only 3 difficulty settings (with the exception of 6 songs that have an unlockable "super hard" mode) and as a result it ends up being a little on the easy side for anyone used to playing a lot of rhythm games. Some of the menu navigation can seem a little clumsy at times as well unless you're using the touch controls. As a result, I've accidentally restarted a few songs instead of resuming after pausing them.

A surprisingly fun 2D Sonic game. It is more on the side of run very fast and avoid obstacles than it is the true platforming of the early Sonics. But fun nonetheless, and better than a lot of the later Sonic games. The special stage is especially fun and makes great use of the touchscreen controls.
Two questions though:
1. It looks like I have 1 Chaos Emerald to go. But I can't see any areas where I don't have a Chaos Emerald found. So is there some hidden stage somewhere that I need to access?
2. Is the Wii version of this game as good? I doubt it's a straight port of this game.
Thanks for any help.

Yep, she's in 4 songs in Project Mirai DX. :) Unfortunately, you can't set her as your partner to play games with her. No Puyo Puyo or Reversi with Gumi. :'( Outside of the rhythm game portion, she just stops by occasionally to offer hints or give you things.

Absolutely.

So I've pretty much beaten Ys: Oath in Felgana on all difficulties/boss rushes!
Edit: Also got a boring 1cc of Asuka+Asuka, a shmup where you can avoid most of the enemies and dominate by hanging in the left middle part of the screen!

Finished up the last of the 50 missions of MGSV: The Phantom Pain today. It took me well over 60 hours, making it one of the longest games I've played in a while and easily the longest Metal Gear. It was a bit of a mixed bag for me. The gameplay is excellent, arguably the best in the series and one of the best of any game this console generation. The controls are excellent and feel natural. On the other hand, I really couldn't help but be a little disappointed by the delivery of the story. There's far fewer cutscenes than one would expect for a game bearing the Metal Gear Solid name, and it instead relies quite a bit on listening to cassette tapes to give the complete story. This is especially annoying when you're trying to listen to a particularly important cassette when Kaz or Ocelot come on the radio and talk over it while it's still playing. The repeated missions in the second half of the game are annoying and seem lazy. From this I can understand why some other people on the internet seem to call the game "unfinished". Regardless of those complaints, it's still worth checking out if you're a fan of the series. If you do pick up the game, I can't stress enough how important it is to complete every mission to get the full story. You're missing out on something very important by not unlocking and playing through mission 46.

Fantastic action game with a ton of fan-service, great graphics, great controls, and a ton of content. But if you've played an Arkham game before, you already know all of this. What stands out this time is the Batmobile. A lot of the missions and game design revolve around it. And it makes the game feel like a new experience, while still being familiar to fans of the series.
I have to admit, though, that the story, while still quite good, isn't as good as the other Arkham stories. Still, this doesn't hamper the game and is still a good enough story.
I completed all the side missions, too. Except getting all the Riddler trophies. There's just too damn many of those. The side missions really keep you going because you want that experience to upgrade your suit, Batmobile, and gadgets. And their fun. Well-designed with the side-missions.
Get this one if you have a next-gen system, you won't be disappointed.

Finished all of the songs in Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Extend. Not too much has changed from the first two games aside from the songs available, which I quite like in this one. The game runs more or less the same as DIVA 2nd, by which I mean there's a bit of a drop in framerate when the screen fills up with notes on the higher difficulties. It can be annoying but it's not the worst thing ever. As with the first two in the series on the PSP, it's worth importing if you're a fan of the series.

Great game if your a Halo fan! Amazing graphics, awesome soundtrack, good voice-acting, and of course the awesome run-n-gun FPS gameplay of Halo! The campaign just keeps you moving from action-packed area, to action-packed area and keeps you on your toes the entire time. 15 missions all-together (well, more like 13 missions because of couple of missions just involved you walking around and talking to your superior officers.)
I'll admit it wasn't as good as the first couple of Halo games, but then none of the other Halos after them are either. It's still plenty entertaining!
I can't comment much on the multiplayer, because I really suck at that. I did a 25-kill deathmatch, and I ended up with 2 kills by the end (although I could have swore I had 3, not sure how that happened).
Definitely worth a pick-up for fans of the series.

Danganronpa was crazy but good. The gameplay is kinda odd, but it was still fun and enjoyable. I streamed it and was surprised that people wanted to watch me read aloud to them for hours on end :-[ There's definitely a strong fanbase for the game/series!

Fun action, hack-n-slash game. Nothing too special, but still a solid game if you're a fan of the genre. And I do have to say that it had some pretty dang impressive graphics.
The gameplay is more than just spamming the attack button, so you don't get bored with repetitive combat. And it is very bloody and violent. Which was awesome, but probably not for small children.
The story is enjoyable, but nothing to write home about. A story about betrayal, corruption in the government, and lots of battles. However one thing bothered me. Before the end, you have to fight a character named Boodica. The thing is, you feel like the bad guy as you fight her. Earlier in the game, a corrupt official (the emperor's son) ruthlessly betrays and murders her father in front of her, as he was presenting a peace-agreement. Then you end up going around his authority and rescuing the civilians that he orders to have killed. ...so then whey did I have to kill the daughter who seemed perfectly justified in attacking the emperor?
Anyways, good game, worth the $20 it's going for.

There were a few frustrating moments (Screw you Atlas, your event sucks) but I can say that this game will remain in my top 5 of all time for a while. If anyone was on the fence about buying this game, jump off that bitch and pick it up. You will not regret it.

Finished up the Brotherhood ending in Fallout 4 today. People on the internet seem to have come up with a lot of things to whine about in the game, but I had lots of fun with it. There's plenty of bugs, but most don't break the game. Settlements are kinda buggy which makes the "Benevolent Leader" trophy a pain to get at the moment. Other than that I don't really have any complaints. I plan on going for the platinum eventually but right now I'll probably take a break from it and go back to playing Disgaea 5 for a while. I look forward to seeing how mods get handled on the console versions of the games, whenever Bethesda adds that feature in.

Oh my god, this was INSANE! And I loved it! So much crazy, shocking stuff happened in this.
For example: Me and my group are stuck inside of meat-locker (long-story how we got there). There's this old, angry guy just going off, pissed-off that we're locked in there and screaming and cussing at the top of his lungs. He gives himself a heart-attack because of it. His daughter is in there with us. She starts giving him CPR. Another guy in my group points out that he stopped breathing, and he's gonna turn to a zombie if we don't do something (and we're still locked in there with him, defenseless). So I have to choose to smash his head, or help with CPR. I help with the CPR. And the dude drops a brick through his head anyways, while I'm doing it!
And that's just one of many crazy moments like that. This game kept me going just to see what was going to happen next. Just as well-written as the show.
I'm DEFINETLY getting Season Two.
Get this if you like The Walking Dead, you won't be disappointed.

This a spoiler free post.
Yesterday, I got the platinum trophy in Tales of Zestiria as well as 100% completion in Alisha's DLC. As a fan of the Tales series, I have a hard time looking back on this title fondly. This is one of the weakest Tales titles, and this is coming from someone who has been loyal to the series since it's introduction over here with Destiny.
Zestiria did a few things right: great characters, a better than expected story, the return of Graces' skit system. I really liked the Lords of the Land. I think that was one of the coolest features. And at times, combat was a blast. Armatization was a clever idea and opened up new combat possibilities. Most of the time, combat was...there. It felt like a necessary evil instead of being the highlight of the game. Tales usually has two trademarks: great characters and great combat. The characters were wonderful, but the combat felt lackluster because it was impacted negatively by the equipment system, the random GRADE and the fact that enemies essentially broke all of the rules on difficulties beyond Hard. Also, you always had to have Sorey and Rose (and at times, Alisha) in the party. It felt really limiting.
The worst part of the game is the equipment system. I can't even begin with it. It was worse than the trait system in Graces. It was far too random and far too convoluted. It felt like a combination of the element system from Chrono Cross and the rune system from Valkyrie Profile 2. The sad thing is, you need to rely on it because characters don't gain stat boosts via leveling up. Herbs help. The orbs help. But, you have to rely on your equipment to become stronger and it adds so much extra time to the game.
Alisha's DLC was average. The best thing about it was her hat and the music in the Elaine Ruins. Oddly enough, the Alisha drama prior to the release of ToZ was the least of my problems. I'm not surprised that people got pissy about it since most Tales fans are awful people. Seriously, check out a Tales message board some time and watch these monsters.
Some final random things:
-Lailah is still my favorite character in and out of battle, followed closely by Mikleo and Alisha. -Sorey and Rose were fun in small doses. -Edna was fair; she worked wonders as a healer. -Dezel/Zaveid (Dezaveid?) were great characters but combat was tricky when controlling them. -My favorite Armatization was water, even though fire was much more useful. -The cameo fight was underwhelming, but that's not surprising since the bonus dungeon felt the same way. -Having everyone on snack making duty ASAP is essential for anyone that wants the trophy. Even if you don't want the trophy, having everyone supplying sweet treats works wonders since other support talents aren't as useful. -The opening theme is fantastic. -I'm hoping that someone makes a GIF of Mikleo performing Final Prayer because it is wonderful.

Added all my boss fights to the video playlist as ususal: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-Q1t_Y2KQTVRnNOLc8lUqXD1Li-E2fcY
I loved the new content, lore and mechanics, some of the new bosses were absolutely thrilling to fight. Some areas were really challenging especially while playing on NG+. Can't wait for Dark Souls III now ;D

I didn't want to read too closely into your post because of possible spoilers, but it's unfortunate that the game doesn't hold us as well as the others. I was hoping that it would've been a good addition to the strong lineup that Tales brings. Maybe the next RPG I'll play will be Symphonia or Abyss... It's been a long time :)

I'll modify my post and let readers know that its spoiler free. ^^
If you do play a Tales title, between those two I would suggest going with Symphonia since it's such a classic. Of course, Abyss is just as great. Either way, I hope you enjoy them. ^o^

Fantastic FPS that I already talked about in the "What Are You Playing" thread. So I'll just transfer what I wrote there, here:
Quote
I'm loving it!
Intense FPS action mixed with moments of stealth. It's bloody, it's brutal, it's intense, and it's in your face!
The story is awesome. It starts in WWII with you and your unit fighting Nazis. You get injured and end up in a nursing home. By the time you get "healed" and get your wits back about you, it's the 1960s and the Nazis have won WWII and now rule the world. They decide the nursing home your in needs to be shut down, and start killing people. You escape, and realize how wrong the world has become. You end up freeing some war criminals to help you and start up a resistance to take down the Nazi Regime.
One scene in particular really stood out to me: You get done freeing some your resistance fighters from this giant Nazi concentration camp. Just as you go out the front to freedom, the Nazi army stand in front of your exit, ready to stop you. They have this giant robot. Well, one of the prisoners you just freed is an expert hacker. He hacks into the robot, and you gain control of it. The robot smashing the Nazi woman's face that's in charge of the prison. As all hell breaks loose and gunfire is going off around you and people are running around; the Nazi woman crawls towards you and climbs up you. Her face is the camera now, and it's all mangled, with a broken jaw, and missing teeth; just looking all gnarly. She's spitting out at you how you and your vermin comrades will never make it out alive. It was really cool looking, like a scene from a horror movie.
If you have an Xbox One, get this one. It's a lot of fun.

Final Fantasy Type-0 HD finished. Thoughts to follow in another post.

Post by: kashell on December 10, 2015, 09:27:59 am
As promised, some thoughts on my recent finishing (and platinum-ing) of Final Fantasy Type 0. I'm going to attempt to be as spoiler free as possible.
For a game being heralded as an HD port, most of the graphics have a weird look. Like, everyone is really shiny. Square knows how to make gorgeous graphics and during the multiple movies, things were wonderful. The regular graphics weren't bad, but like I said, they were weird. Also, nearly every environment looked the same aside from Akedemia. The music was awesome. This is a soundtrack worth hunting down, even if you're not a Final Fantasy fan.
The story was strong but predictable. Being part of the FNC sub-series, I thought it was cool seeing things like Focus, l'Cie, Pulse and other terms outside of the FFXIII world. On the other hand, they left a lot of questions unanswered.
Combat was strong. It felt like a tighter version of Crisis Core. Queen was my go-to character, but I would have liked to have experimented with others such as Machina, Rem, King or Trey.
In terms of the platinum, it felt like I did barely anything. I was missing so much data for the characters, the historic compendium, the monster list, and so on. I don't feel compelled enough to go a New Game Plus, but I do like that everything carries over on later files.
Other thoughts: *The game is so exploitable, it's insane. You can get all of your characters to level 99 in a few hours. Furthermore, you can farm SPP, Gil, and other collectables automatically *I wanted more character interactions between everyone *Speaking of interaction, I thought it was funny that only two or three cadets would appear on the screen at a time during the story sequences *Despite all of Class Zero being unique with their own weapons, moves, skills, etc. all of the customization was hardly needed thanks to having Avoid and Thundaga
Anyway, I'll create a review at some point.

Completed recently:
Shovel Knight (PS4)
Cleared the game, no 100%. The game is very hardcore if you want the Platinum, it's clearly speed-run oriented, I'm not gonna invest enough time to try it. Started the Plague of Shadows DLC, it's as much awesome as the main game ♥
Cleared the game with 100% items, 2 endings and unlocked the magic mode (outfit below). I may speed-run the game for 2 other endings, it's not so hard and a lot of fun.
Finally completed the Platinum of Muramasa: Rebirth! What a fantastic game.

I platinumed South Park: The Stick of Truth & Fairy Fencer F.
I'm one really grindy trophy away from platting Dungeon Travellers 2 (kill 20,000 enemies), and I'm playing Awakened Fate Ultimatum.
Maybe Lost Dimension or Disgaea 5 next...

Last night, I got my platinum trophy in Dark Souls. The timer said it took about 100 hours, but I'm thinking it was around 60 to 70 since the game doesn't have a pause function. Still, it was a long and rewarding journey and one that I would absolutely do all over again.
I was hesitant to start with a pyromancer, but I'm glad I stepped out of my comfort zone. The balance of magic and quick attacks was great in the long run. I got to channel my inner Hikaru and shout, "Honoo no Ya!" after every spell. It was really fun making a character look the way I wanted to and equipping all of those unique sets of weapons and armor. By the end of the game, my character had a fashionable but practical look that I am very proud of: the gold-hemmed hood, silver knight armor, crystalline gloves and paladin boots. The weapon was the Titanite Catch Pole, which was so much fun to wield. If anyone intends to play Dark Souls in the future, the odds of you getting one of these is slim but if you do, enjoy it.
As expected, the game was hard. It was brutal. It was downright mean. But I never stopped having fun. Well, scratch that. The only time I wanted to stop playing was the first time I fought Smough & Ornstein. Even with the assistance of Solaire, S&O is a battle of luck and endurance. My second time only took me a couple of tries to get them down. I was very pleased. I knew that if I was able to get passed that hurdle, the platinum was as good as mine. The rest of the boss battles ranged from surprisingly straightforward to, "Holy crap...how the hell did I just emerge victorious from that...?" Even standard enemies weren't to be messed with.
My favorite area was The New Londo Ruins. I think all involved in the survival horror genre should take a note from that area because it was creepy. The ghosts, the banshees, the Dark Wraith Knights, the giant mass o' souls and the sounds that enveloped the area were stuff from nightmares. I really hope that Dark Souls II, III and/or Bloodborne have an area like that. My least favorite area was Blighttown. The dropping frame rate was bad enough, but having to trudge through the swamps and be subjected to poison/toxin was miserable. At least it was easy to skip.
Some final, random thoughts: *Quelag's Fury Sword was a weapon everyone recommended, but I didn't like it as much as the catch pole *Some of the trophies were easy to obtain by tricking the system; that's how I managed to obtain ultimate crystal, enchanted, magic, etc. weapons *Despite it's difficulty, I find Dark Souls to be easier than Demon's Souls
I'm going to hold off on Dark Souls II for a while. I'm not sure what game I'm going to play next, but I know one thing: it has some big shoes to fill. Dark Souls was magnificent.

*Despite it's difficulty, I find Dark Souls to be easier than Demon's Souls
Indeed, Demon's is the King of Souls games, the hardest, the darkest, simply the best! Collecting those weapons with pure tendency requirements or lizard hunting for the endgame craft was quite something compared to the sequels.
Just too bad that I could kill the hardest enemy in the game at level 12 only with HEADBUTT!

If you play Dark Souls II, please try Scholar of the first Sin complete version, it's the definitive version of the game and all the additions really make the game shine in the high level areas.

And when I say I beat it, I mean I completed every single character's story mode. All 24 of them. Very basic beat-em up/hack-n-slash, yet addicting game. The upgrade/store system really drives you to keep going.
Not much new here (but that's not a bad thing). It's basically Dynasty Warriors, but with that added upgrade/store system I told you about. And set in Feudal Japan rather than Ancient China. It's also an early 360 release, so don't expect graphics that are gonna knock your socks off, but it gets the job done.
Liked it so much that it made me go and order Warriors Orochi for my 360.

Finished the Time Mysteries series last night. One of those series of hidden-object/guilty pleasure games for me where I want to rush through to finish it but still kinda enjoy it for its mindlessness.
The games are older and not super well made, so I had to just grin and bear the awkward visuals:

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I'm already thinking about starting another file in it because I'm not ready to say good-bye to all of the fun yet.
I got a 3DS when it was first released and for the longest time, my favorite game on it has been Tales of the Abyss. That changed thanks to Stella Glow.

That's awesome! I've had the 3DS since release as well but I don't have a favorite game on it so far (I have many that I've yet to even start)... I still have so many DS games to play, so I end up playing those on my 3DS. ::)

It's more of an interactive cartoon than it is a game. But if you're a fan of the movies, then you should enjoy this. Well-written, good-voice acting, good characterization. Decent enough graphics, if a little cartoony.
If you're not a fan of the movies, then I'd see little reason to get it, though.

BurningDoom's 2016 Beaten Games list: 1.Back to the Future: The Game - 30th Anniversary Edition (XBox One)
It's, alright. Not nearly as engaging as the first game's story. You just don't feel as connected to the characters this time around. And there's not nearly as many "HOLY SHIT!" moments as the first game, which is really what made that game so great.
The gameplay is your normal dialogue/story-driven TellTale games fare. Either you like it, or you don't with these types of games. Although the Walking Dead games in particular do sprinkle a little more action into it than your average TellTale game.
Worth it for a low price, but don't spend much.

Yesterday, I finished Demon's Souls for the second time and earned the platinum trophy. Back when I first played it in 2010, I didn't think that there would be any chance for me to earn that platinum. But, in only 35 hours, I managed to earn it. Obviously, I used the duplication glitch.
When it was first released, such a thing was never heard of. I struggled through the game as a Royal and didn't know what the hell I was doing. I probably died over 100 times and undoubtedly missed some of the secrets. But, I look back at that playthrough with fond memories because it was my first Souls game and, really, the first time I played a game that had both difficulty and a dark, unsettling theme.
This time, I had a guide with me every step of the way. After learning the duplication trick, I can say that this file was just as fun as the first one. I still died a few times here or there, but it was because I either had to shift the World Tendency or I was being stupid and misjudged a foe or a pit. I began as a Knight and built up both vitality and intelligence in order to create a unique character that had the ability to wield a heavy weapon and powerful magic.
The only real struggle with this platinum was finding the Pure Bladestone. I killed nearly 80 dual-katana wielding black skeleton enemies until I finally earned one. The sad thing is, some people are still trying to earn one. The drop rate on that thing was ridiculous. Looking back on it, I feel lucky enough to have earned one on my own instead of trading with other players. Speaking of, I played the entire game off-line so I didn't have to worry about a Black Phantom invasion.
For those that wish to go for 100% trophy completion, I highly recommend playing through the game once on your own without the use of a guide. Half of the fun of Demon's Souls is seeing the world on your own for the first time, watching as these huge bosses attempt to decimate you and discovering tactics that work best for the type of character you build. The second time, take advantage of the item duplication trick. It works wonders.
Some final thoughts:
*My favorite area in the game was The Tower of Latria. They could have built an entire game out of this place alone. A haunted prison, intimidating spires, creepy enemies, and a unique history are all part of this area. And just when you think you've seen it all, you end up in a swamp that is littered with bodies that clearly underwent some sort of torture.
*My least favorite area was the Valley of Defilement. Now I see where Blight Town in Dark Souls got its inspiration.
*The Large Sword of Moonlight was one of the main weapons I used until I started forging weapons with boss Souls. I ended up favoring the Scraping Spear after I made it because I really enjoy unique weapons, and this one was great. In my mini-third file, I used the Northern Regalia. Since I had PBWT, nothing stood a chance. Nothing.
*I really enjoyed all of the boss fights, even if some needed to be "cheesed" with arrows or Poison Mist. The Maneater was the only one that I felt bad for, but I didn't want to deal with two of them.
*I think the World Tendency system is fantastic; more games should try to do something similar to it.
*As always, I tried to make my character look stylish instead of being practical. The options felt more limited than they did in Dark Souls, but I still ended up with a snazzy warrior.
Even though Dark Souls has more to it, I still favor Demon's Souls. The next game I'll play in the series will probably be Dark Souls II: Scholars.

Congrats on your Platinum! Demon's Souls is still the King of Souls.
I'm a proud owner of this trophy, obtained without the glitch and without trading, lizard hunt is way more exciting that way! ;D
If you loved the Latria atmosphere you should definitely consider playing Bloodborne !

We enjoyed it quite a bit. It's hard to find a decent couch co-op game, but this one was a pretty good choice, I think. My wife doesn't play nearly as many games as I do, but she was really into it as well and had a ton of fun.
I had heard it was buggy so I looked up some tips to avoid the Mirkwood and other glitches, and we got though with no problems.

BurningDoom's 2016 Beaten Games list: 1.Back to the Future: The Game - 30th Anniversary Edition (XBox One) 2. The Walking Dead: Season Two (XBox One)
I beat it once before when I first got it. But it's such a great game, that it's worth another play through. And I had a blast with it again!
It's like Mega Man meets DuckTales, if they were 16-bit. But it still has it's own personality. So much fun, such polished gameplay and controls, charming graphics and storyline, and superb bit-tunes throughout.

Yesterday, I finished Valkyria Chronicles 3: Extra Edition. It was fantastic. I clocked in over 60 hours of that game and there was still a ton of extra stuff for me to do. I'll have a review up on it later, but the most important thing I took from the game was that it reinvigorated my love for the Valkyria series. After the disappointing Valkyria Chronicles 2, I almost neglected the series completely. VC3 has become my favorite in the series and with the upcoming remake of the original game, I am so glad that my interest is back to where it once was.
I highly recommend checking out the game.

I finished Lightning Returns for the first time. I saw what I needed to do for the remaining trophies, so I'm hoping to have the platinum by the end of the week. I'll post impressions later.
Edit and Update:
I'm surprised at how much good, old-fashioned fun I had with Lightning Returns. I think that the series could have been finished after the end of the first XIII, but XIII-2 and LR were fun games in their own right. The story in LR was ridiculous, but at the same time, heartwarming. It was worth dealing with the inane dialogue to reach the conclusion. The best thing about the game was the battle system. Lightning was always a competent fighter, but watching her in LR is just magnificent. No matter how you feel about the XIII saga, I highly recommend checking out the LR demo so you can see what the battle system offers. There is so much customization with the Schemata that it feels like it's its own game. The fact that you can add adornments and change the colors of them, though? Perfection. I always thought Lightning was stylish, but now she's a bona fide fashion model.
I always wondered if people like Lightning more if she were a man. I love seeing strong, no-nonsense women take the lead in video games. Lightning is all of that and more. I'm bummed that we won't be seeing any more of her. Now that FFXV is going to be Square's next big thing, I'm anxious to see how the leading character compares to Lightning.
Some final thoughts: *It was fun seeing the gang from the first XIII in a new light *Chocobos are still adorable, but Lightning's is the most adorable (I named him Fluffer) *I cared more about which sword and shield complemented which outfit instead of which was more useful *The last trophy I'm going to get before unlocking the platinum requires me to re-find 30 head accessories - I'm not looking forward to that *Fire and Aero magic are highly recommended in magic Schemata; they are perfect for staggering *My favorite Schemata was Midnight Mauve but the most useful one was Jungle Hunter

Now that I've played all of the PS2 games, the big question is... which one was my personal favorite? ;D For those interested, here is my little mini breakdown based on the qualities of the game that I thought were meaningful. The * means that it was a very close runner up to the game before it.
So there you have it, I think AC5 was my favorite of the three! The other two are still excellent though and definitely worth picking up. :)

Great game! My only complaint is that the world seemed small. If it was bigger, it would have been a perfect action-RPG.
This is the 2nd Ys game I've played. The first one was an early Ys game, not quite sure which one it was. But I remember just running into enemies to attack them, and I hated it. So I never visited the series again until I saw a review of this game. Really happy I picked it up. Great gameplay that feels reminiscent of Crystalis on NES.

Controls are always a little wonky for point-and-clicks on the console, but I enjoyed this game a lot more than I thought I would! I thought it was better than Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments, though The ABC Murders was quite a bit shorter.
Good for a rental - I don't see the need to buy it permanently.

I recently finished a bunch of things, but I wanted to give a special mention to Resonance of Fate. It's such a unique and non-traditional game; I think some people on here would enjoy it. It has a strict learning curve and basically requires to go through the tutorials. So, you will have to do some training before you dive into the story. But, I'm really glad I decided to go through the game a second time and get the platinum. Over 100 hours later, I'm already missing it.

This was a very well done game; one of the best of Platinum's offerings, as well as one of the best games of the 7th generation. I'm gonna do Bayonetta 2 next since I heard that its even better.

Incredibly mediocre beat-em up where you switch between Iron Man and Captain America beating up a bunch of the same henchmen. There is one boss-battle at the end of the game against Loki. I didn't die once in the entire game, until I fought Loki. And then it just has horrible hit-detection against him and I died 3 times. Skip this one.
Next up is Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. This was a MUCH better Marvel experience. If you like RPGs like Baldur's Gate and Diablo, and like super-heroes; than you should love this game. Lots of characters to unlock, and lots of powers and costumes to unlock on those characters; so the game really keeps you wanting to continue to level-up.
What's really cool for the comic fans is that the Civil War storyline in this veers off into another direction than what went down in the comics.
And it was SOOOO much better than the crappy PS2 version I used to have. And it's more than just better graphics, it's an entirely different game. It's like they gave the PS2 version to the interns to make.
It was the Anti-Registration side that I played. Now I'm gonna go back and play the Pro-Registration story.

Nights of Azure has bee finished. But, I'm going to finish getting all of the trophies.
EDIT: No sense in double-posting if it's about the same game.
Yesterday, I got the platinum in Nights of Azure. Other than the trophy to finish 300 quests, the campaign to platinum wasn't too bad. I would guess around 30 to 40 hours. As a Gust game, it felt bland. As an action game, it had highs and lows. There could have been more with the characters, more with the controls and more with the story. If anything, it reminds me that Gust isn't afraid to take risks.
I'm excited for Atelier Sophie because it will go back to that good ole-fashioned Gust feeling.

I absolutely ADORED this game. It felt a lot like Skyrim, but in the Stone Age. So much to do, so much to explore, and all very detailed and well-made. If you love open-world games, you're doing yourself a disservice by not playing this.
By beating it, I mean I beat the main storyline. I also took over all the outposts and camps. I tamed all the Beastmaster animals. And I completed all of my crafting and village building. There are still plenty of side-missions for me to complete, however.

I got the itch for some old-school Resident Evil. So I decided to give this one another go. It's a been a long time since I've played this entry. I remember the gist of the story, but it's been long enough that I'm reliving the details again for the first time.
And man have I been spoiled by modern graphics. I remember this game being one of the most impressive PS1 games. The characters models are so bad, their appendages just kind of run through each other constantly.
Still, a very fun game. While not as story-heavy as RE2, it is one of the more intense entries in the series with the sudden Nemesis battles. RE2 and 3 really do need the remake treatment.

I decided to go back and actually beat Splosion Man on the X360. I was really dissapointed by the end of the game, due to the repetitiveness in the enviornments, music, level layouts, and boss battles. There's also a feature to skip levels if you die 8 times on one segment, and results in no penalty. It felt more like a 5.5/10 game, not a 8/10 as many critics have said about the game and its sequel.

Yesterday, I acquired the platinum trophy in Final Fantasy XIII. Now that I finished all of the games with 100% trophy completion, I think that my order goes: XIII > Lightning Returns > XIII-2.
But yeah, earning the platinum in FFXIII was more fun than just playing it through the first time. I got a chance to relive the story again which was just as great as it was before. I love the game's story driven nature and how the characters really come to life with each passing scenario. It takes a few chapters to really get the game play going, but they're worth it. By the end of the game, battles are so damn intense. Like, every encounter had me on the edge of my seat. Boss battles and hidden boss battles were truly epic, especially when victory was achieved with a five star rating.
Earning the Treasure Hunter trophy wasn't as annoying as I thought it would be. I had plenty of money to spare thanks to help of some resources. I think my least favorite trophy was L'Cie Paragon, since earning a five star rating on every Cieth Stone was nerve-wracking. Still, nothing about the platinum was overly hard. It was just more "grindy" which is typical for RPGs. Some final thoughts:
- I adore Lightning. I adored since day one and she's still one of my favorite video game characters of all time. - Hope has become a new favorite. I was really hard on him at first, but then I stopped and thought about being in his shoes. - Fang is awesome. - Snow, Vanille and Sazh are still "meh" as far as I'm concerned. I like them, but not as much as the above three.

It was a productive weekend of gaming, but the highlight was earning the platinum trophy in the Vita version of Akiba's Trip. The platinum wasn't too bad. In fact, it was pretty fun for the most part as long as the game didn't slow down and the controls worked like they should. Out of all the endings, I would say Shion was my favorite with Shizuku at a close second. Definitely a quirky game that could have benefited from some extra TLC.

BurningDoom's 2016 Beaten Games list: 1.Back to the Future: The Game - 30th Anniversary Edition (XBox One) 2. The Walking Dead: Season Two (XBox One) 3. Shovel Knight (Wii U) 4. Avengers Mobile Game (Phone) 5. Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 (XBox 360) 6. Far Cry: Primal (XBox One) 7. Super Mario Bros. (NES) 8. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (PS1)
Great follow-up to Wolfenstein: New Order. This one is a direct prequel to the events in New Order. Great first-person shooter gameplay with nice graphics and a very gritty feel to it. And the story takes a great horror twist to it at the end! Definitely worth playing through if you come across it for cheap.

Sheesh, what is going on with my choices these days? I "finished' Seven Samurai 20XX in the same way I finished Rodea.
Awful slow downs, awful camera, and awful combat. Not a good combination.

This past Tuesday I finished Resident Evil 5, it took me 11 days to achieve this because the damn title gave a painful headache after a couple of hours of playing, it seems that need to play it again cause I want to see Sheva in her tribal outfit so I guess that am gonna have to use an strategy guide or a video game play to obtain the 30 emblems, as far as I remember was able to obtain less than 8 of them :-\

Just finished Castlevania: Circle of the Moon for the first time. I've owned the game since it was first released but never finished it because I just kept losing interest. The game got much more interesting once I got a few of the more powerful cards, but I never would have found them if not for Gamefaqs.
Just started Order of Ecclesia, which I've finished before but is still fun to play.

The Ezio Trilogy is fantastic. Those were some great games. Then, unfortunately, the series started to head south.
Syndicate is solid, definitely up there with the Ezio games. Better than Revelations for sure.

Finished Homefront: The Revolution last night. Pretty good game with a really good story. You don't get much feel for your own character, but the other character's have some backstory. Almost feels like a Far Cry game.
I've really been feeling in an FPS mood lately, blame it on playing Timesplitters earlier this year. I haven't been playing many FPS games over the past few years, most games suck or are Battlefield/CoD. I might jump into Blacksite: Area 51, Haze, or actually play through CoD: Ghosts. Any of those three games should suck so bad that I don't want to play FPS games for a while.

This game received so much negativity. Having finished it, I'll admit that there could have been more with the plot. However, I enjoyed the game immensely and I'm looking forward to playing through the post-game content and playing the game on Universe and Chaos difficulties.

11. Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride (DS)
It's a Dragon Quest game, so I enjoyed it. JRPGs boiled down to their core essences, what's not to like?
That said, I do feel it's one of the weaker entries in the series, storywise. The game was all over the place. I get it, they were trying to somewhat emulate the main-character full life from being a child up until having his own children. But there were plenty of spots where I was like, "Okay, where do I go now?" Because the game was jumping from point to point with little direction at times.
DQ fans, get it. Non-DQ fans, you might want to check out another game in the series if you're trying to get into the series. Personally, I'd recommend DQ IV: Chapters of the Chosen for DS (the NES one is fine, too, but why not get the updated, better looking version?)

I can cross another from this series off of my list. I have Dragon Warrior III (GBC), which I'm playing next, and Dragon Quest VIII (PS2) left. And maybe one day Dragon Warrior VII (PS1) if I can ever find it at a decent price.
Dragon Warrior II was alright, if a little anti-climatic. It was fun for a Dragon Quest game, but the final dungeon and boss seemed a little too easy. But considering it was only the 2nd game in the series, and the first game is even easier, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised.
Speaking of the first game, this one was a MUCH larger game. Bigger world, more towns, more continents, now you can have a party (vs. one character in the first game), and there's more enemies. Just more of everything. To be honest, this really feels like the first one in the series, while the first game almost feels like an incomplete game in the comparison to the rest because of how small it is.
I hope one day I can add the NES version back into my collection (had as a kid, before my bro sold our original NES collection).

Pretty good game, combat becomes a bit of a slog near the end just watching the combo "sessions" and some of the menu interfaces are clunky for 2016 but I had a lot of fun and the bosses were particularly challenging and required some strategy. I'm particularly proud of myself for having the attention span needed to actually complete a game of this size.

Half of the budget of that game went into modeling her ass, stay classy Capcom.
INTERESTING.
Anybody have an opinion on what platform is best for this game? I know it was originally for the 3DS, then they did Wii U, then they did 360/PS3.
The Wii U version is the best console port in my opinion, the 2nd screen is helpful as well. The 3DS is, well portable so that's the plus for that one. Any of the ports are just fine, I played the PS3 version the most.

Nice one and honestly I don't have a proper answer since Fiona's costumes Illegal in Some States and Texas Cowgirl in my opinion are the best that Capcom have ever released for any of their franchises and these ones make her ass so damn juicy (what ?, am a pervert), damn we need a Haunting Ground remake with the same angle than REV I bet it will sold easily.
Possibly, but 3DS is low res compared to any other version.

Title: Re: Recently completed/finished

Haunting Ground tends to be brought up along with Rule of Rose, but I honestly feel Haunting Ground is the superior game hands down.
Title: Re: Recently completed/finished
Post by: kashell on August 10, 2016, 03:18:34 pm
Both games have a timid female protagonist accompanied by a canine companion. Both games are also annoyingly rare and expensive. If memory serves, Clock Tower 3 helped inspire some design choices for Haunting Ground.
Haunting Ground is definitely more playable. The controls are much easier to grasp and it's slightly easier to complete. However, I prefer Rule of Rose. Brown is more obedient than Hewie and the story in Rule of Rose is creepier; which is interesting because Haunting Ground's story is damn terrifying.

Go for Haunting Ground or at least a Demento copy cause Rule of the Rose is so freaking expensive and the controller honestly is not the big deal, am not saying that it is unplayable but is so freaking broken, used to play this one because of a friend and only have to say that the story is quite interesting.

And yeah, I would say go with Haunting Ground before Rule of Rose simply due to cost.

I only beat one scenario, so far, I'm going back for more. But technically, I did beat it, saw the ending credits.
It's a Musou game. Played one, played them all. This one has a bit better graphics than the PS2 entries (no draw-distance issues like some of the PS2 ones), and a bit more emphasis on special attacks. But otherwise it's the same, you either love them or hate them.
This one's story campaign did seem a whole lot shorter than the others, though. I played through Nobanuga's campaign and I swear it was only like 4 battles or so, and I was seeing ending credits. I was really surprised when they came up. Luckily there's other characters to play as. That's really disappointing, because I think I like Samurai Warriors 2 on XBox 360 the most between all the Dynasty and Samurai Warriors games (except Hyrule Warriors). I was hoping to have the same quality as that one.

Since I was playing through the rest of the series, I decided to play through this GBC version to see the differences between it and the original NES version I played. I played it via the Game Boy Player on the Gamecube. A little better graphics than the original NES version, a little better sound, and a better user-interface (no more telling the game you want to open a door or chest, or that you want to go up/down stairs). But otherwise, still the same, simple, RPG.

Great game if you're a WWE fan from the Attitude Era. The storyline mode follows Stone Cold's career from his debut in WWE to his final match with The Rock. And the presentation is fantastic with full video packages explaining the storyline before each match.
The controls, however, seem to be a bit overly complicated and will take some getting used to at first.
18. Bionic Commando (GBA) (via Capcom Classic Mini Mix)
This is the same game as the NES game. Straight port. Although I'd swear some of the swings were just barely tweaked to make it a little less frustrating. And it's still a 2D platforming masterpiece with an amazing soundtrack! Love this game. Well, at least until the last couple levels. Some of those swinging-sections are punishingly difficult at the end!

This was a great little RPG for the time. Very basic, but that doesn't mean it's bad. If you like early Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, or other early JRPGs like that, then this is just like that, but with 16-bit visuals rather than 8-bit.

I earned the platinum trophy in Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness last night. For the most part, it was a fun ride. By the time the final trophies "dinged" I was ready for it all to be over. No spoilers below; just some thoughts.
The game received so much toxic criticism before a release date in the US was announced. The majority of it was unjustified. The game was not less than "20 hours long." The game was not "a step back for the series." The combat was not "a downgraded version of Till the End of Time's battle system."
If there was one huge flaw to mention, it would be the so-called "seamless transitions." The seamless transitions of cut scenes was annoying at first, and then it became a chore during my final play through. This is a modern game, and not only am I unable to skip cut scenes but I can't even advance the text. Ridiculous. The person who made this decision should be removed from any further projects with the series because that was just awful.
Everything else about the game was standard Star Ocean stuff. Item Creation was fun, the story was standard stuff and the Role system was unique. Battles started relatively simply but at some point, numbers showing damage were flying every which way. I really liked the characters, and the Private Actions allowed me to learn more about them than the story offered. But, I would have to say my favorite was Fiore. I knew she would be the moment I saw her outrageous character art, and I was right. She's the perfect combination of smart and sexy, plus she is awesome to use in battle.
The quest towards platinum wasn't as bad as it was in The Last Hope, but I did have to leave my console on overnight to earn one of the Battle Trophies. If not for that, my play time would have been much less.
Overall, I had a great time with this game. Now I can look forward to Exist Archive coming out this October and give tri-Ace some more much needed support.

Just finished Alan Wake for the 360 using backward compatibility on the Xbox One.
Holy crap what a good horror game. Best storyline I've experienced in a horror game yet. It really pulls you in and compels you to see it through to the end.
And damn... What an ending.
Now on to the dlc and American Nightmare!

God Eater Resurrection- I had to play through ot to prepare myself for 2 since I technically never completed the Burst story on PSP. Glad I did cuz the game benefitted from the improved graphics and gameplay.
Onimusha 3- while my favorite looking in the series the constant back and forth through time to solve pyzzles got tedious. But after owning the game for years I decide to load an old save since I remembered the story just never beat it. I FRIKKIN WAS IN THE LAST HOUR OF THE GAME AND HAD SHELVED IT ALL THIS TIME INSTEAD OF FINISHING IT!!!!! In all seriousness I seem to have this problem with games having had a similar experience beating Metal Gear Portable Ops and Peacewalker in the same afternoon cuz I stopped playing them at the end.

Not bad. But not as good as the old-school entries, IMO. A little too much leaning in the action-direction and not quite enough in the horror-direction. But still a big step-up from Resident Evil 5. The story kept me just intrigued enough to continue.
Now I'm going through the Raid Mode. Just started it, only beat the first two levels.

If you haven't already, you should play Alan Wake.
I just finished the sequel/side story: Alan Wake's American Nightmare. It's a short game but very heavy on story!
Both the first and second games are worth playing by any Resident Evil fan.
I actually like Alan Wake better than Resident Evil story wise.

Great transition to handheld with this one! Good graphics, fun gameplay, and tons of gameplay (I was around 15 hours when I finished this). Plenty of unlockable characters and unlockable missions, too. The item store keeps you going back to earn more gold, too.
Nothing really new here, though. If you like Samurai Warriors/Dynasty Warriors games, you should really enjoy this one. If you don't, then there's nothing here to entice you.

I played through it when it was new, but it's been a while. So it was about time I played it again. Still a great game, especially once you get past the village. But I STILL think the classic RE games are better. Zombies and monsters overrunning Raccoon City has a way more classic horror movie feel to it.

Yesterday, I finished Baten Kaitos Origins with about 50 hours of game time. That time could have been close to 90 hours if I decided to do everything. I have a review for it that's about done, but I wanted to share some initial thoughts.
The game was great, but not perfect. It's biggest problem was that it overstayed its welcome. The majority of the scenarios felt overly extended. Instead of getting to more good plot progression, the game would continue to add more and more padding. It wasn't that bad at first because you got to see Sagi, Guillo and Milly interact with one another and really get to know each other. However, by the time I reached the second disc I was tired of the excellent plot getting interrupted by mountains of filler.
I know a few folks on here were wondering if it was important to play Eternal Wings before Origins. I would say yes upon having seen the game's conclusion. While Origins does take place before EW, things have so much more meaning to them when you play in order of release.
Between the two games, both had excellent graphics and music. Origins had better voice acting, but both games allowed it to be turned off. Both games have excellent stories, but the pacing was much better in Eternal Wings whereas the overall plot was better in Origins. Combat was much better in Origins. In fact, another reason why I suggest playing Eternal Wings first is so you can appreciate the changes they made to the combat in Origins. I'm not suggesting that the combat in Eternal Wings is bad, but it did need polish. Also, little things like leveling up and classing up improved in Origins, too.
Overall, a fantastic game. It's a real shame that this series is no longer on anyone's radar because there is still so much potential for it in terms of story and game play. Kickstarter, anyone?
Title: Re: Recently completed/finished
Post by: kashell on September 26, 2016, 09:12:39 am
I finished a couple of things over the weekend. First, there was Mega Man Xtreme for the Game Boy Color. Despite it's music being at the mercy of the system, it was a really fun game. One thing I didn't like was that you had to play the game multiple times to get to the "true" ending.
The one I'm most excited about is 7th Dragon III: Code VFD for the 3DS. I went into 7th Dragon thinking it would be another generic dungeon crawler that I would get tired of, but it was an addicting and fun RPG. It was one of the better impulse buys I made and it will probably be remembered as the sleeper hit for the year. I was sad to see the adventure end.

I finally beat SMT IV. The release for Apocalypse snuck up on me and I realized I never beat the original. Rushed through the last 15 hours or so. Remembered why I initially set this game aside. The map and navigation are awful, I constantly could not figure out where to go next. I get that the game doesn't want to hold your hand but they could at least label the overworld map! I skipped lots of side quests because I couldn't figure out where to go. Combat is still good like previous SMT games, if a bit simplistic and exploitable near the end. The different end game paths are fun and I enjoyed the ending. Overall, a fun game but so many frustrating and baffling design choices. I've heard that Apocalypse addresses a lot of those concerns so I'm excited to give it a spin.

Yesterday have completed the four episodes of Resident Evil: Revelations 2 and it seems that this weekend I'll have to beat the game again cause my six year old daughter missed the ending dunno why the hell but she liked this title, she got mad because I let Moira to die at the end of the episode 4, being honest she helped me a lot with the maps, some times did get lost and she yelled at me saying that I was going the wrong side, she loved Natalia's scenes and even when at some parts of the game she was scared she always gave me support when I was facing some enemies, she even did the research of some items by herself and when a monster came by she gave me the controller to help her, it might not be the correct game to play with her but it's so freaking amazing that she got some of my tastes, my wife was sometimes at the room with us and also she kinda get interested in some parts of the story, she saw me play the first Revelations but she missed a lot of this second part :D

Nice, are you gonna do Hard or Ironbro mode?! The latter is pretty unforgiving from what I've played, so I debating on doing a Hard mode campaign and seeing how that goes.

Best Resident Evil game since Code Veronica! It has a lot of the same atmosphere and feel of the old games. The story is something that would fit right into the old games, as well. And I like the monsters, more. RE4 onwards had a bunch of generic, gangly-looking monster that you see in a LOT of video games.
This one goes back to zombies, or at least I think they're zombies. But they definetly aren't like the old, plodding, slow zombies. These guys are freaking fast! And they look like they're wearing a patchwork of other people's skin, with barbed-wire and spikes intwined throughout. Think zombies meets the evil guys from Ghosts of Mars. Very cool looking!
And you get the return of Claire Redfield and Barry! Any fans of the original RE games should enjoy that.
Highly recommended for fans of Resident Evil.
I got the freaking bad ending! You've got to be kidding me!
I Googled what I did wrong, and it turns out that in a really intense scene against a boss-monster earlier in the game, you're not supposed to go as fast as you can to kill it, which is what you do in like literally every game like this!!! There's a choice to make in the battle. Without giving away spoilers, if you go with the slower route (which you assume would kill you because it's an intense moment), that's how you get the good ending.
So now I have to go back and replay the game with that choice. Luckily, you can restart at different chapters in the game. So I don't have to replay everything.
Gonna add this to my "official" beaten list when I do that.

Finally beat the Dark Souls 3 DLC. Didn't realize there was an NPC helper for the boss and that helped me get through that annoying boss lol It's too short to add to my 52 games completed list, but overall I liked it. The setting is cool, the bosses were cool, though as usual with Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne that I've beat, anything story related drives me nuts. Rarely know what is going on half the time and this one doesn't have like any sort of ending that I can tell. You just sorta beat the bosses, get a little extra dialogue from two random characters and that's it...I don't really know what happen in this DLC lol Still fun to play at least.

I got an achievement for the bad ending, but not for the good ending (which I completed last night).
In Chapter 3, during the Claire mission, at the end of the chapter is where it changes the ending depending on how you beat monster-Neil.
It's right after you beat monster-Neil, and he slams you into the wall during the movie-scene. If you do the natural reaction, and have Claire grab the gun (since Moira has never used a gun in the game), you get the bad ending. If you switch to Moira, and have her crawl to the gun and use it, then you get the good ending.

They brought back zombies, they brought back the b-style twists and turns style story, they brought back Barry and Claire, and they gave us a whole new villain and virus to battle.
I beat it with both the bad and good endings.
Highly recommended for Resident Evil fans!

I finished SMT IV: Apocalypse. It was fantastic.
So much better than SMT IV: in every way. My only complaint is that the game is too long. Everything else, including the battle system, map navigation, story are all much improved. I've never played a game before where without much grinding you reach level 100 before you reach any of the end game content. Might come back to play some of the endgame content another day but for now, I need a break from SMT.

Just finished Titanfall 2's campaign. Even though it had a fairly bland and uninteresting sci fi story and plot, and there was really only one character with any character at all, I ended up really enjoying it. I think I was just in the mood for a short and sweet campaign to run through, and the platforming and movement in game is what really made it for me. I would love to see them improve upon the story telling and character development in the next game, since they set up a main protagonist in this game to return, but I won't get my hopes up.

I bet it's the Illusion Woods. That got me for a while, back in the day. You have to complete both the pointless loop path, and the "real" path in that area, for every level. (And of course the Star Road path, in addition to those.)
Agreed on it being the best Mario game ever! Possibly the best platformer, ever.

Mad Max (PS4)
It's a pretty decent GTA clone. As far as licensed games go; one of the better ones in the modern gen. The story is pretty basic and the missions don't really offer much. However in terms of just driving around ticking boxes 'Ubisoft game style' (even though it's not Ubisoft); it certainly scratches an itch.
Didn't manage a platinum, one trophy off. I weighed up the platinum trophy versus the hours it would take to finish the necessary challenges....and I decided against it.

I beat God of War: Ghost of Sparta on Vita (PSP) last night. One of the better God of War titles I have played. The fire mechanic spiced up the combat significantly. Magic was awkward to use due to the control scheme. Have a soft spot for this series, even though the games all literally play the same.
I also beat Dark Cloud on PS4 (PS2), this was a game I played a ton as a kid but never finished. I got a few floors away from beating the Dark Genie and then my save file corrupted so I never beat it. Saw it was on sale a few weeks ago and told myself I needed to see the end. Breezed through most of the game from memory, (games are a lot harder when you are 12) and beat the Dark Genie on the first try. Terrible camera for that fight, I somehow made it through alright. For those unfamilar, it's a firs gen action rpg w/ rogue like elements on the PS2. There's also worldbuilding elements ala Actraiser. There's no leveling at all for the characters, merely upgrading weapons but you have to watch your weapon hp or it will break and you lose the weapon forever. Since you usually focus on building an ultimate weapon for each character, a weapon break calls for an instant game reset. The sequel is a far superior game but for me, this game has a lot of charm and I'm glad I finally got to see the end.

Inside (PS4) - It's the only Game of the Year contender that I've actually played this year (barring 20 minutes of Overwatch). Honestly it being a GOTY contender; makes me think it mustn't have been a strong year for games. Don't get me wrong, it's a very good game but it's not a special game, at least not to me. It ticks the same boxes Limbo did; but personally I preferred the style of Limbo. Disappointed it lacked a ridiculously hard secret level like Limbo did. Worth a play through if you haven't played it yet for sure.
The Order 1886 (PS4) - Much better than people make out. Yes it's linear, yes the gameplay is fairly simplistic and largely borrows from other third person shooters without adding much of it's own. However it's not as short as people make out; I had people say it's 4 hours long. I swear they must have been playing it on easy and simply sprinting through; as it took me longer than that. Granted I played on hard and went for the platinum. I really enjoyed the setting and the visuals; I'm hoping there'll be a sequel, as there's a lot that could be done with the setting if the gameplay was tuned up.

I didn't actually finish it. But I've gotten as far as I'm gonna get. I got to the final level. I just can't get past the part where those mouth-things spit you along the level. In the last level, the timing has to be so absolutely precise to many times in a row that I just can't do it.
Up until that point, though, it was a VERY enjoyable little action-platformer with some Metroidvania-elements to it; such as gaining new abilities that allow you to reach new areas, and a healthy bit of exploration and item collection. Though it's not a big open-world like Metroid, it's a level-by-level deal, but you can go back to past levels with new abilities and access new areas.
Great sprite-work, great level-design, and charming characters round-out the great gameplay, too.
I want to play the others in this series, now.

How do you get the Heart Squid that's in the Desert Temple, in the other area with the mouth-spitter things? The one in the middle of them, stuck in the wall on all four sides. It looks like it's impossible to reach.

I'll be honest. I don't know. I had to google/youtube some of them.
If I had to guess, I'd say in the desert temple you get the sword, right? Can you get above it and use the sword to go down?

This really felt like a fan-made game in the series. It wasn't as terribly unplayable as people make it out to be online. But it wasn't good, either. It was a very generic attempt at a Resident Evil game that barely took use of the license, it seemed (though it wasn't a licensed game, really, it was a Capcom made game). Thin plot, bad voice-acting, no real replayability, and far too easy.
Not only is it far too easy, it's very short. I beat it, on my first attempt, in one afternoon, with no game overs, and got an "A" ranking at the ending.
Worth it for cheap if you're a big RE fan, but don't pay much for it. And don't bother if you're not into RE a lot.

Last night, I got the platinum trophy in Shadow Complex Remastered. I look back at the game with mixed thoughts.
The Metroidvania aspect of it was really fun, not that I doubted it wouldn't be. Getting new gear and slowly but surely opening up the complex felt new and fresh each time; this is coming from someone that went through the game three times in a row.
The controls and the combat were what bothered me. Jason could only move in four directions, but enemies could come in and out of the background/foreground. The auto-aim feature was messy, plus there were times the controls just wouldn't do what I told them. When playing on Insanity level of difficulty, not having your aiming working properly lead to a swift game over. Also, boss battles were boring.
One thing I really liked about the game was that Jason seemed to have a comment for everything at first. As you got further into the game, his dialogue just dropped.
Random thoughts: *I liked that levels carry throughout each playthrough; the bonuses that came with them were necessary *Missiles were far more effective than regular ammo and, of course, more fun *My speedrun time on Insane was nine minutes shy of earning the Jason Bailey trophy, which made it necessary for me to do a speedrun on Casual *Without the use of a guide, I think it would be close to impossible to earn some of the trophies

It's your average Final Fight-style beat-em up, starring the X-Men and their villains. You can play as Cyclops, Rogue, Storm, and of course Wolverine. Each have a few different moves, but are not too different.
Boss battles are the highlight of the game, with appearances by Juggernaut, Magneto, Apocalypse, Sabretooth, and others.
You can "upgrade" your strength, health, or mutant power by 2 points at the end of each level. But honestly, it really didn't feel like it did anything.
Worth it for a few bucks and a time waster if you're a comic fan, but not worth much more.

After singing the game's praises for years, I finally sat down and played Power Blade from beginning to end. It's not a hard game at all, I just haven't pushed through to the end.
Power Blade is probably in my top 10 favorite games on the NES.

The Last of Us
Just completed this game for the first time and started up the Left Behind DLC right away. Absolutely loved the game. The actual gameplay left something to be desired after a fashion, but the game still felt tense all the way through. I felt that Hard was really the perfect difficulty to play on for a first time long as you can handle yourself in a 3rd person shooter + stealth. While ammo was still fairly scarce, I found that sneaking around most encounters while maybe taking out a couple enemies here and there was fairly easy, but when I'd get caught out, it wasn't too tough to take advantage of any sort of burst or aoe style attack and just take out a wave of enemies at once. The infected I mostly avoided fights with which I actually liked, I appreciated that they were tough as hell and could take you down quickly. The human enemies weren't too hard to deal with really, again it was just a matter of being sneaky, taking out a few guys, and getting past, or being quick on the headshot.
The tension in the story mixed with the difficulty and moderately slow pace of the game made for probably my tensest experience with a game in a long time, and between each session I had nothing but anticipation for the next go. I'm really, really interested in seeing what happens next with this story, now that Part 2 has been announced, prime timing for me!

I went back and beat it for real, now! And I loved it! So I can officially put it on the beaten list, now!
Gotta say, though, I went back and downloaded the original Shantae, and it's not NEARLY as good as The Pirate's Curse.
I wish the other Shantae games used the pirate equipment, instead of the animal changes. The equipment is soooo much more fun to play with.

Super Mario 3D World. I got all flag pole tops and all stars, and beat all levels as Peach. I'm only missing the stamps for completing the game as ever character, and I'm not going to do that. It's just silly.
I thought the game was way easier than its reputation. Only three levels in the entire game gave me any trouble. The final mystery house, the last beat block level, and Champion's Road. And Champion's Road was mostly because I had trouble with the beat blocks, and once I got that rhythm down it wasn't that bad. Especially after I went in with two Tanooki suits. Soared right through it.
It is definitely a fun game, but I found myself pretty underwhelmed compared to the amount of praise I've heard it get.

Today, I finished Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne. I got the True Demon Ending. It was an amazing game. As usual, I'll write a review and post it in the 52 Games Challenge topic, but I wanted to share some quick thoughts. Very minor spoiler below.
As expected, the game was brutally difficult. I played on Normal difficulty, so I can only imagine how much trouble I would have been in if I played on Hard. Even if you come prepared with the right magatama, demons and enough healing items, you always need to be on your toes. Risk vs. reward has no place in Nocturne; it's always important to play it safe. Just when you think you found an effective team for battling enemies, new demons will appear that will make you switch things up. Luckily, you never have to worry about permanently saying goodbye to your favorite demons because you can always re-summon them for battle or fusion.
I really liked how empty yet full the game felt. The MC is literally all alone in a post-apocalyptic world but there are tons of spirits and demons you can talk to that make world feel realized. The denizens have plenty to say and their lines alter depending on where you are in the story. The choices you make as the MC are really interesting and not only effect the ending you'll get but the level of access you have to certain areas.
Finally, getting the True Demon Ending is not for the unprepared. I will admit that I looked at a guide when I realized that by *minor spoiler* finishing the Fifth Kalpa I irrevocably set myself up for the TDE. After reading about what the boss entailed, I looked up how to find the last magatama I was missing in order to gain access to the bonus dungeon. Which, by the way, was a blast. Just a word of warning for those that decide to go for the TDE: set aside plenty of time and make sure the MC has Pierce.
Some final, random thoughts: * The MC makes me want to replay Digital Devil Saga since he's an optional boss in it * I frequently altered my party, but the Black Horse Rider was always in as soon as I got him due to his amazing abilities - I highly recommend getting one * I'm the furthest thing from a Devil May Cry fan, but Dante really came into his own in Nocturne. Plus, he was insanely useful * I made the mistake of getting rid of Focus on my MC. I was still fine, but having Focus would have been useful * As soon as you have the option to do so, try to get Pierce and Freikugel on the MC * Other useful abilities that you should always have: Fog Breath, Dekaja, Debilitate, Dekunda * The Press Turn System was fun in Digital Devil Saga so it's no surprise that it was fun here
I'm really excited to write this review. I'm thrilled that Nocturne was my first completed RPG of 2017.

Beat Dragon Ball Fusions last night. A way better game than I expected walking in. Good gameplay and story and cute chibi graphics that grew on me after awhile. Sadly the main story is criminally short and aside from a couple battles was insanely easy. If anything I think a bulk of my time playing was spent farming for moves and characters. Though some of the cuaracters needed for the best fusions arent accessible until the post game which sucks cuz I would have loved to have gone through a bulk of the story with Karoly on my team. Also grinding for SSJ is horrible ><

I had beaten this before, but not with the best ending. The first time, I didn't get Magus, I kept fighting him until I killed him. And I didn't save Chrono.
This time, I acquired Magus, saved Chrono, and beat every sidequest.
Still a great RPG.

Red Faction: Armageddon Finished single player. Now re-running in EX mode for a while before looking at other game modes. I can't give a good review of the story because I played it over a couple years, even though it is not that hard. There are some spots that are annoying due to enemies respawning constantly until certain tasks are done (destroy this, repair that). No countdown timer events, which is great. It is very tedious that most enemies you face jump all over the place constantly.

The final boss can catch folks off guard if they aren't building up everyone in their party.
Yeah no kidding, luckily I was prepared. I read afterwards that there are not any checkpoints. The last save is right before the first form of Mother, so if you fail that is a lot to redo... Read a lot of posts saying the boss ruined the game for some people, I think that is a little much. Great game, looking forward to the Ghost Ship in the post game. Did you do either of the Ghost Ships?

I did one of the Ghost Ships in order to fill up my monster compendium to 100%. I don't think I needed to do the other one. The one thing I definitely didn't do was participate in that beetle breeding mini-game. After spending all of that time doing everything else, I was so ready to be done with the game.

Fun little game, especially for how cheap it is. Nothing more than a time-waster, but an entertaining one. You're a mad meteorologist who wants the world to respect weather, so you create a weather-making machine that can wreak havoc on unsuspecting cities with lightning storms, earthquakes, tornados, meteors, etc.
So it's kind of like the opposite of SimCity. Go and destroy someone's beautiful SimCity creation, with glee!
I found my copy for under $5 at GameStop. I don't know if it's still that cheap, but if it is, it's definitely a better purchase than McDonalds.

BurningDoom's 2017 Games Beaten List: 1. Shantae: Risky's Revenge (DS) 2. Chrono Trigger (SNES) 3. Elements of Destruction (DS)
Very, VERY basic 1st-person view dungeon crawler, with some decent graphics. Only $2.99, though. It's only 8 levels long, and it has under 10 weapons, you levels max-out at 10 (you can level-up 1 point per level, and there are 3 areas to choose from (Strength, Endurance, Agility).
The point of the game is to collect all the keys in each stage, and kill the boss after doing so. Along the way you face enemies (same type for each stage, changes each stage), collect treasure, and gain experience points.
Glad it's not more than $2.99, but worth it for that cheap of a price to kill some time.

This game is fun as hell! Challenging, but fun. And it's JUST challenging enough to make you want to keep trying. It's not one that makes you want to throw down the controller in frustration.
The graphics are gorgeous and totally cartoony and fun, the soundtrack is fantastic and fits the game perfectly, and sound-effects compliment the soundtrack.
The gameplay is pure-platforming, with wonderfully designed-levels that test your skills while making you smile.
I recommend this for all gamers that enjoy a good platformer. A must have in everyone's library.
But DAMN that last level, the part where all the debris is falling mid-air and you're running full speed dodging it, trying not to fall down the pit...SO FREAKING HARD!!!

I don't, but I can do a quick list just for you since you're one of my favorite folks. My ranking from favorite to least favorite would probably be:
Tales of Destiny 2 Tales of Berseria Tales of Xillia 2 Tales of Hearts R Tales of Rebirth Tales of Destiny Tales of Eternia Tales of Symphonia Tales of Graces f Tales of Xillia Tales of Vesperia Tales of the Abyss Tales of Phantasia Tales of Innocence Tales of Legendia Tales of Zestiria Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World Tales of the Tempest
Even lower ranked ones such as Abyss are still fun. I really don't count the spin-off Radiant Mythology titles or things like Twin Brave.

Beat Rayman Legends yesterday with my sister, we had a ton of fun with this game! Some levels were clearly intended for single player though, which was a bit of a problem with 2 players. But overall, I think I like it a lot more than Origins.
I'm hoping to beat 4 more games this month, so that I get to 20 games beat for the 52 Games Challenge. Planning to get a few PS4 games out of the way, and finish a few shorter itch.io games.

6. Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary (XBox One - via Master Chief Collection) 7. Halo 2 Anniversary (XBox One - Via Master Chief Collection)
I loved playing through these again. Played them via the Halo Master Chief Collection (first time playing them this way). Halo games usually have some great campaigns.
Halo 1 & 2 were gorgeous in HD, ESPECIALLY the movie scenes in Halo 2, complete eye-candy.
My only complaint is that they changed that amazing soundtrack. One of the greatest soundtracks in gaming history...it needed no change.
I plan on also going through Halo 3 & 4 on it, just started Halo 3 yesterday. Then maybe I'll go back and play through #5, Reach and ODST again so I can complete the series in one big sweep.

I got the platinum trophy in Tales of Berseria over the weekend. Time for some thoughts. There are no spoilers below.
The story was fantastic. Folks kept throwing around the term "edgy" or "dark" and, while true, every Tales of has some sort of aspect that is "edgy" or "dark." Berseria was just more in your face about it. Even before her change, it's clear Velvet lived a hard life. And it only got harder. If I had to fault the story for one thing, it's the whole Corsairs Scourge line. It felt like unnecessary padding, even if the end result revealed more about the big picture. Traveling through Reneed and The Fens of Nog in order to find a cure was a chore. Speaking of which...
Good lordt were the field areas too big for their own damn good. Areas were fine at first, but they ended up being too massive and empty. A hidden path here, a crawl-space there, and nothing to reward you except a treasure with gear you already had.
Which leads me to the equipment system. I look at it with mixed feelings. On the one hand, it's rewarding to permanently learn a bunch of passive skills that turn your team into a six-man army. On the other hand, the way it was done was cumbersome. For example, after only fifteen minutes of playing I remember walking away with dozens of Amber Blades, Amber Talismans, Amber Boots, etc. I commend the creators for kicking Zestiria's awful equipment system to the curb, but I -REALLY- hope future titles stick to something traditional like the ones in Symphonia or Abyss.
Combat was the game's best feature. It took me a while to get acclimated to the Soul Gauge, Blast Souls, Switch Blasts, etc. but once it clicked I couldn't get enough. There isn't much to say that hasn't been said about it. Again, Namco must have realized how s***acular the combat was in Zestiria. As a result, they made my favorite combat system in the series.
As for the characters, this is a Tales of first. ALL characters were great both in and out of battle. Usually there's that one character that I can't stand in the story; or there's that one character that is absolutely worthless on the battlefield. Not in Berseria. Everyone had a role to play. But, Eleanor was my all time favorite. Her design immediately reminded me of my favorite character from Abyss, and her fighting style was a work of art. The fact that she got a Mystic Arte called Lost Fon Drive -AND- Natalia's costume was icing on the cake.
The trophy list was another highlight. The only time I started to get agitated was when I had to farm Tales Coins for Making a Mint. Aside from that, most of the trophies were earned just by playing the game thoroughly and completing side-quests.
Final random thoughts: *I think the Normin are obnoxious. For that reason alone, I hope the next Tales of will take place in a new setting. *The Scout Ship mini-game was fantastic because of all of the Tales of references. *The in-game costumes and attachments were disappointing. Normin costumes for everyone? Really, Namco? *The Mystic Artes were a sight to behold. *The bonus dungeon was fun. It had just the right amount of content and challenge. *The cameo fight was miles ahead of Zestiria's.
After playing Tales of Zestiria, I was disappointed with the direction of the series. Luckily, Tales of Berseria reignited my adoration for it. Tales of Destiny 2 is still my favorite due to nostalgia, but Berseria is right behind it.

Got a 1cc on a Toaplan shmup, Dogyuun. It defintely feels more like an action-platformer than a shmup, given the way the different weapons work, and how you have a one-use bomb module or a super speed module.
I'm defintely gonna go back to it to improve my score a bit, and I'm probably gonna be doing an episode on STGW to hopefully get more people into the game.

Might finish Blue Estate because I played it for a few minutes a few weeks back and it wasn't too bad. Thinking about picking up Ghost Recon Wildlands or some other newish title. Might also start on Rule of Rose, but I think that's going to be a long term game like with Haunting Ground.

8. Halo 3 (XBox One - Via Master Chief Collection)
I've played and beaten this game before, but the original XBox 360 version. This is the first time I'm playing this via the Master Chief Collection on XBox One.
I always love the campaigns in Halo games. Halo 3 is no exception. Although it's not as exciting as Halo 1 or 2. And graphically, it actually looks worse than Halo 1 & 2 in this collection, since the first 2 games received the HD remaster treatment, and Halo 3 & 4 did not.
But yeah, it was a good time. If you don't like Halo, you probably don't enjoy FPS in general.

Halo 3 (XBox One - Via Master Chief Collection)
9. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Wii U)
One of the best games I've ever played, bar-none! And that's saying a lot considering it's a Zelda game, and some of those already on my list for best games of all-time. It as the perfect marriage of Elder Scrolls and Zelda, two of my all-time favorite gaming franchises.
Unlike most people with this game, I DID NOT use a guide. I rarely use guides in games, because for me part of joy of playing a game is exploring and discovering things on my own.
As a result, I did not max out my heart containers like others. I did get The Master Sword, I got all of my memories recovered, and I upgraded quite a bit of armor (thought not all of it, those damn star shards are just too rare to wait around for, and I didn't seek out all the dragon's horns). I also unlocked every tower, and defeated every Divine Beast. I ended with 85 shrines completed.
By the time I got to 85 shrines, I kind of started feeling like the game was overstaying it's welcome, so I went and defeated Ganon to get the true ending. I actually defeated him once before, without all of my memories recovered, and also got the bad ending. So I saw both. All it is is that you don't get the extra scene after the credits if you don't recover all of your memories, which really wasn't that big of a deal of a scene. Kind of sad reward for a quest where your only freaking clues are a picture of landscape. It wasn't easy to track down all of those places without a guide.
So yeah, fantastic game. One of the best ever, IMO. And of those games that I was so OCD over, that I'll probably be taking a break from gaming for a little bit and spending my free-time with Netflix for a little bit. (Well, other than beating Halo 4, since that's the only one in the Halo Collection I haven't beaten yet, and I don't want to leave that hanging.)

Halo 3 (XBox One - Via Master Chief Collection) 9. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Wii U)
10. Halo 4 (XBox One - Via Master Chief Collection)
I have now played through all 4 games on Halo Master Chief Collection. Great games, the first trilogy being a bit better than #4.
That said, Halo 4 was still fun, I mean, it's still Halo. It's just that the story wasn't as grand, being that it fit into a nice, neat single game; while the other 3 were an overreaching storyarc. And the game was significantly harder. I felt like I was playing on Hard, in Normal mode on Halo 4. And that made it less fun, for me.
The biggest disappointment, though, is that I beat all 4 games. Completed every single mission, on Normal Difficulty. But the "Veteran" Achievement won't unlock, which what you're supposed to get for beating all 4 games. Nor will the achievement for beating Halo 4. Yet it's there, on my profile, I can look though every mission of every game and they are all marked as been beaten on Normal on a Solo-Campaign...WTF Microsoft?! That was a lot of time and effort to beat 4 games.

I've beaten this before, more than once. But this was the first time playing it on the Disney Afternoon Collection via XBox One.
Besides a little slowdown here or there, it's just like the original game, to the last pixel. And it's still one of the best 2D platformers ever made!
BTW, I did receive my achievement for beating this game, despite not getting it for beating all 4 games in Halo: Master Chief Collection. (I even replayed the final mission again, just to see if it would trigger it, nothing.) I don't know what the hell is going on with Halo: Master Chief Collection.

I absolutely adored Shovel Knight. I've beaten it a few times through, I love it so much. Not only one of the best modern platformers of all-time, but one of the best platformers of all-time, period.So when the Plague Knight expansion was released, I was all kinds of excited. Turned out, I'm not a fan of the gameplay mechanics of Plague Knight. Never made it very far in that one.
So when I went to look at my Wii U menu, beyond Breath of the Wild since I finally finished that, I noticed my Shovel Knight icon looked different. That's when I discovered it had another expansion, Spectre of Torment. And I fell in love with Shovel Knight all over again. Back were mechanics that felt like they had a "rhythm" to them that I got into. Finished the entire thing in one sitting and loved every moment of it! Though not quite as expansion as the original, since it's missing the overworld map and extra areas, and only has one town area. Even with the shorter game, it's blast!

Finished up Killer7 on GameCube a few days ago. Wow what a game, really enjoyed this one. Being a Grasshopper Manufacturer/Suda fan I knew I would get some enjoyment out of it, but it was a blast. Has the off the wall craziness and tone that hits just the right spot for me. Glad I finally got to trying this one out fully as it is one of my favorite GM/Suda titles now. Every mission was crazy and unique keeping the game fresh throughout. Definitely recommend for someone who can get into the game, or looking for something like nothing else.

Pokemon Sun (3DS)
Was interested in this game after a friend of mine challenged me to finish the main campaign after finding a ridiculously good deal on it. Some of the new designs were interesting, and i did like how it was a little more open ended than before ( although theres still barriers that force you to do one trial at a time). Unfortunately, the game doesn't feel very challenging once you get past the early game, and finding trainers with more than 3 pokemon was a struggle until the last major dungeon before the legendary battle. In addition, the champion's team is kinda weak too.
However, battle tree does look promising, and im gonna have some fun with my friend with building up our teams and outfits!
Tl;dr; Game has great atmosphere and is relaxing, although a more open ended structure and multiple difficulty options would have gone a long way.

Double post, but got a 1-ALL of Flying Shark ( Hishouzame in JP) yesterday. Even though the ship speed is frickin molasses in this game, the game is relatively short ( 5 stages in loop 1, 4 in subsequent loops), with bomb refills every stage. In addition, the western version has lower point requirements for extends. Main issue is making routes for stages 4/5.
So I'd reccomend it to anyone looking to get into oldschool stgs, or for shmup fans looking for a easy 1cc.

Fantastic game, though not quite as good as the first DuckTales. I think it's the music that really puts the first one over-the-top. Still, I had a blast playing through this again. I hadn't played it since I was a kid and originally owned the game.

I saw that this was now backwards compatible on XBox One, so I downloaded and played it.
I also discovered that the 30 men cheat for the NES version works on this version too! Does anyone know if that was the case with the actual arcade cabinet, too?
Contra is always a fun playthrough, run-n-gun at it's basic best! But the NES version is so much better, still. One of the few cases of the NES version surpassing the arcade version.

I think about that sometimes. I went from PS2 to 360 to PS4, so I didn't play like any PS3 titles. I owned a PS3, I bought the titles, but I just straight refused to play them. Total PS3 play count for me is like Infamous, Infamous 2, Demon's Souls, Mortal Kombat, The Last of Us, and maybe Katamari Forever.

Have completed Asura's Wrath but a friend told me that to see the final boss I need to purchase some episodes that it didn't came with the digital release, dunno if it's true or not but I don't remember having a direct fight with Olga so it might be true also already know that cRapC0m is not the same company that I felt in love when I was younger but right now am not going to purchase anything until it has a good discount like this tittle ;D

Middle-of-the-road Final Fantasy game. Not bad, not great. Not too challenging, not a cakewalk either. Enjoyable enough for a JRPG, but the story isn't anything to go on about. Playable.
But damn does Bahamut mess you up with fire-breath attack. Never did beat him and get the final summon.

This past weekend finished or should I say my wife, my daughter and myself finished Limbo, would love to say that am the smart guy in the family but at least the 60% of the puzzles were solved by my beloved wife, at least two of them by my beautiful little girl, the rest of them were solved by me, honestly didn't expected that they would like this game but they did, the achievements here are kinda hard to find (not to get) which totally liked but only managed to unlock two of them, only got the first one when you go the Wrong Way (https://www.trueachievements.com/a60417/wrong-way-achievement) at the beginning and the one that they gave you when you complete the game Where Credit is due (https://www.trueachievements.com/a60415/where-credit-is-due-achievement), will attempt to find the rest of them this weekend 8)

Great, mindless, button-mashing, beat-em up fun by the masters of the 8-bit and 16-bit era: Capcom. Fast-paced action, great sprite-work, and good soundtracks. Not much I can say about these games that haven't been said a thousand times already.
One cool little extra I unlocked by beating Final Fight, though, was a full episode of the USA Street Fighter Animated Series from the 90s (that used to air on USA Network)!

A Sega classic! I've played the Genesis version of this a lot. But it's been a long time since I've played the Arcade version (used to be one of my favorite arcades as a kid). The Genesis version is actually pretty faithful (plus it has that extra level). But the arcade version has way better sound, in particular, and that really cool little ending where all the Golden Axe character explode out of the arcade. Still, I think I actually prefer the Genesis version, a whole extra level is pretty cool.
Nice, fun little trip down nostalgia lane courtesy of the 14-day Xbox game Pass Free Trial.

Got up this am around 7 and played til 9 and beat the game. 5 hours is simply too short. The puzzles were pretty cool and the enemies were definitely weird and creepy as hell. Fun ... but way too short. This game had the potential to entertain me for many many hours.

Finished Super Metroid before going to sleep last night and glad I was able to play through it now after so long and I can safely say it is one hell of a game and it up there with the likes of Zero Mission and Fusion. I think when I get the chance I will replay it again on the big screen but at 100% hopefully whether it be the SNES or the SNES Classic in the future. I didnt find Mother Brain to be too bad but again I will say Fuck Ridley.

Last night, I finished Bug! on the Saturn. It was great. It's one of those classic 90's games that doesn't take itself too seriously. It captures the middle of that decade perfectly with it's style, humor, etc.
On a more substantial front, I got the platinum for Bloodborne and The Old Hunters over the weekend. I'm not sure if I'm ready to say goodbye quite yet. I like the idea of trying a new build with high Arcane and/or Tinge. Or, maybe focusing on Skill instead of Strength so I can finally use things like the Chikage or the Threaded Cane. The thought of a New Game Plus doesn't sound nearly as exciting as a regular New Game because of the high amounts of echoes needed to level up.
The Orphan of Kos was probably the most difficult boss in the Bloodborne universe. His attacks were all over the place and they were quick with deceptive range. Like most bosses, it was important to time the VAs. Unlike most bosses, his first form was more difficult than the second.
Goddamn, this was a great game. I just wish there was a bit more to the story. I would have liked some clarification on a few things without having to resort to sources outside the game. The same can be said about the Old Hunters. That gripe aside, this was a fantastic game. Not counting the item duplication glitch in Demon's Souls, it's probably the easiest to finish in terms of trophy requirements. I'm very glad I got into the series with Demon's Souls because I think it would be really hard to go back to previous games after going through Bloodborne. When I do play Dark Souls III, it has some big shoes to fill.
Favorite Boss: The Bloodstarved Beast was the most intense, so that gets my vote for favorite boss. Some spoilery bosses are at a close second.
Favorite Weapon: The Whirligig Saw made me sooooo happy. I was very pleased with it. The icing on the cake was finding a Blood Rock in the DLC to make go to +10. Ludwig's Holy Blade is the runner-up.
Favorite Area: Nothing beats Yharnam, but I did enjoy the Research Hall, the Fishing Hamlet, and the Cathedral.

Finished up my replay of Xenoblade Chronicles, specifically the 3DS port this time. Xenoblade was a surprisingly good portable in my opinion. The 3DS version is the same solid experience you will get from the Wii original, with some minor graphical downgrades. The Amiibo support was nothing to write home about, but being able to unlock 3D models and the OST is pretty nice. All in all, still love this game after another replay and the 3DS port is a solid port for a portable console.

Yesterday, I finished Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse. This is the fourth game in the series that I finished this year. I really, really enjoyed it up until the final dungeon. I'll get to that in a minute.
This feels like the most polished SMT experience. While Nocturne is still my favorite, Apocalypse is a close second. The Partner system was a good idea because it made you think about the risk vs. reward of prolonging a battle, plus it let you use a character that worked for your personal taste. If you want a healer, go with Asahi. If you want power, go with Gaston. If you want magic, go with Isabeau. If you want something completely unique, go with Toki or Hal. The only one I didn't care for was Nozomi. Just like SMTIV, gun skills were close to useless near the end of the game.
I built my character to be a magical powerhouse. I pumped 90% of his stats with magic. Once again, magic was the only way to really deal solid damage. I didn't mind, though. I usually play with characters that are balanced or have more of a powerful build. So, this was a nice change.
The story was great. There were some shocking moments that warranted that M rating. I'm guessing there were multiple endings, but the route I took seemed like the best one. A very, "they all lived happily ever after" sort of ending. I was fine with that since the setting in SMTIV:A was so grim.
I really had no complaints about the game until the final dungeon. It was too big. Seriously, the "bigger is better" mentality seems to be plaguing this genre lately. Final dungeons don't need to be massive, empty spaces with ridiculous warp points and one way entries. The final boss fights were also really disappointing. It was just an HP sponge that required you to buff, damage and heal. Other bosses had some sort of strategy you could use.
That complaint aside, it was a great game. It had more user-friendly features when compared to SMT:IV and it had a great cast. Choices didn't feel forced, and seeing everything through to the end was worth it. And, as usual, recruiting/fusing/creating demons was as addictive and fun as always. I only got 62% of the compendium completed after 53 hours of game time.

Yesterday, I finished the main campaign of Valkyria Revolution. I look at this game with mixed feelings.
I looked forward to Valkyria Revolution since it's announcement. I tried to steer clear of reviews and the opinions of friends so I could go into it with an open mind. The game was disappointing, but still enjoyable. It's a weird combination. I may end up calling it the best 5/10 of game I've ever played.
Most of the cut scenes are repetitive, slow and dull. The loading times are abysmal. Most of the game is easy because of how powerful magic is. The trophies are needlessly grindy. I'm still going to go for the platinum, but I'm wondering what was going on when they decided to make these requirements.
However, I love the characters, the art, the music, and sometimes...being an unstoppable force of anime-destruction is fun. You have a squad of four that gets hit by grenades, bullets, landmines, swords, axes, magic, missiles, and more and yet they only take a few hits of damage. The only time I feared losing a battle was yesterday during a boss, but that was because I was being careless.
I think, having coming from Bloodborne, that this was a nice choice. It was so simple that it made me forget about all of the ouchies I endured in Bloodborne. Still, this was a let down for Valkyria. I fear that this is the last time we'll ever see an entry in this series.

Two days ago, I finally got my 1st 1cc of Fighter & Attacker, a 1992 arcade-only stg from Namco, and somehow nobody else has done it yet. Its a very love-hate game, due to having a great ost, selection of planes, and some interesting gameplay sections, although the huge hitbox, lack of invincibility time, and nasty spread patterns turn me off. Didn't help that the end game bonus is so huge compared to the rest of the game's scoring.
I'm hoping to record a replay soon, and then move on to some other stuff, such as Granada ( for the Geny), and maybe Dragon Spirit. :p

Finished Far Cry Instincts. Thoroughly disappointing over the other Far Cry games. Game is so linear and mostly broken. Most of the game was tolerable. Right at the end it went escort mission and then instant aggro rocket launcher guys.
Starting Far Cry Instincts Evolution and it already seems much better. Less broken and the game has a VERY open world vibe compared to the last game.

Recently got a 1-ALL of the arcade Super Contra. Loop 2 is just horrible and throws too much crap at you given how odd the controls are in this game.
I also got a ALL clear of the og arcade Contra, a 3-ALL of Nes Contra 1, and midway through loop 2 in nes Super C.

Basically, I beat the arcade versions of Contra and Super Contra on 1 credit each. Super Contra forces you to play all stages again on a higher difficulty, and I died on the 2nd iteration of stage 1.
For the NES Contra I played through all of the stages 3 times to completion before dying on the 4th time i played stage 5.
On NES Super C, I played through all of the stage 2 times to completion before dying on the 3rd time I played stage 7.
Hopefully that clears up any weird arcade terminology in my previous post.

If you liked Saints Row IV over the previous entries... DEFINITELY.
If you hated Saints Row IV because it was too sci-fi superhero... No.
It's a mash of Saints Row IV and like MOBA/Overwatch/Lawbreakers but entirely single player. The different characters play differently, they level up independently, and you can equip stat boosts to them.
It's okay, I'd suggest waiting for it to go cheap, I beat it in under a week.
I really only have 1 complaint about the game. No radar. Too often I can't see the road because of reasons, so I can't see if I'm suppose to go left, right, or straight. Also, every battle is spinning in circles trying to see where the enemies are, if I had a little HUD radar I wouldn't have to guess so much.

I recently finished Nights of Azure, and just don't know how to feel about that game. It isn't bad but the whole game just feels cliche and lifeless to me. All the characters are archetypes I've seen many times, that have been done so much better in other forms of media. I do like the familiar system at least, best part for me I would say.

Yakuza Kiwami officially 100% completed. I'm torn with some of the additions in this game. Majima is my favorite character so the Majima anywhere system is great fun for me. That being said fighting him constantly really ruins his character that was setup in the original. They even had to add some dumb additional fight to retcon his injury within the story. It also just takes away from the crazy asshole he was in the original that only showed up a couple of times. The fighting styles copied over from zero and having to build up the Dragon of Dojima style separately doesn't sit right either. Would have preferred a more fateful remake of the first title, I'm glad it exists so newer fans can experience the original title if anything. And the obvious gripe of not having "Receive You" as the opening theme, but that is nothing new. Really just a nitpick as SEGA never really had a track record for licensing the opening songs for NA in the first place. On a more positive note the added sub stories where all enjoyable. May sound like I'm bagging on it, but it's a great game. Nothing will beat the original's jazzy soundtrack though, step down Kiwami.

I beat this last weekend. I played it good, stealth only, non-lethal. All this so I could get the good ending. And damn was it hard to do that! But it was very enjoyable. The atmosphere, the characters, the setting, the tech; everything was just so cool in this game. I don't normally do stealth games, but this game was cool enough that it just kept me pressing on.
Now I'm going back and playing the game as a heartless killing machine. And it's soooo much easier this way. And a lot more fun.

Beat Metroid II: Return of Samus (Game Boy) today. Played half on my GBA-SP, then half on my Retron 5 when I got home.
Found that I still enjoy it much more than the 3DS version. I started to play it as a comparison, and ended up playing this Game Boy version instead. The D-pad just felt so much better.
Still the weakest of the mainstream entries, but a good game nonetheless.

I'm done with Ys VIII. Not because I finished it, but because I've had enough of it. This is probably the worst game I've played that was released this year. I had such high hopes for it and after 22 hours or so of bloated story and limited game play, I'm through.
It's like Falcom wanted Ys to become more like the Legend of Heroes series. Instead of the story moving along at a nice speed and being only 20 hours long, they turned Ys into a long-winded, stuffy, bloated and unfocused game in a fantasy setting. The characters were fine (except for Dana) but I stopped caring about them after the first few hours. Even if you skip story events, the game is just too damn long. I always appreciated how Ys kept the story to a minimum and had more emphasis on exploration. This new direction they've taken starting with Ys 7 is starting to make me wish for more of that.
On that note, Ys 7 was fine. Hell, Memories of Celceta was fine. Both games changed the Ys formula, but they weren't so stuffy as Ys VIII.
Ugh. Such a disappointment. Even when things seemed to be finally moving, the game slams on the breaks and you're stuck in another section with Dana. She is so dull and her areas are so damn boring. Combat was fine, but even then that was limited. The game will throw these monsters at you that are much stronger than more often than not. Fighting them is no fun since they have the ability kill you simply by roaring. Seriously. So that means you have to skedaddle around them. It makes combat and exploration feel too limiting.
I'm going end up selling my Limited Edition stuff. I'll keep the game because I adore this series; I've been a fan of it for over ten years. I really hope Origins doesn't upset me. It looks like it's more akin to Ark and/or Oath, so I have higher hopes for it.

This game is insane, very adult in the violence and language, and very fun. But this one definitely not for the kiddies. Huge open world to explore in the deep jungle where evil tyrants and drug lords rule the land. You and your friends are kidnapped and tortured. You escape and must rescue your friends and free the jungle island from the grip of evil tyranny while surviving the death filled depths of wilderness and thugish army that patrols it.

So I decided to play The Bunker this weekend. Beat it pretty quickly, considered going for the platinum, should've possibly planned that from the beginning, but I missed some stuff so I would have to play through again, and the game consistently crashes at the same point in the game so I gave up.
Then I started playing Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles at the behest of my wife. Took me a bit to get into it, nearly beating the game in fact. But then I started enjoying it to the point that I wound up going for the platinum trophy. Less than 2 days effort overall and I wound up with a platinum trophy. Really enjoyed it.
Read some stuff online that sounded like Stardew Valley and Yonder play very similarly. So I popped in Stardew Valley. Nope, plays like Harvest Moon, gave up on that after about 3 minutes.

I really should've beaten this a long time ago. But I got pre-occupied with Dishonored and then Far Cry 3.
FANTASTIC Sonic game. It feels like the Sonic game that Sonic Team should've released in 1996 on the Saturn. It feels like a natural progression from Sonic & Knuckles, with that same fantastic Genesis-type of gameplay. But even more stunning 2D graphics (hence the Saturn comment).
Highly recommended for all old-school platformer and Sonic fans.

Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix (PS4): Being someone who played the PS2 original so much, witnessing all the newly added content from the FM version was a blast. I really liked the Data Origination battles, definitely the hardest and highlighted battles of the whole game. Also my first introduction to the difficulty above Proud, Critical. I'm usually the guy that plays on the hardest difficulty weather it's needed or not, so the fact it was already unlocked was great. Was definitely a solid challenge with the Data Battles on Critical really being a test of knowing each member of the Organization's patterns and how to counter them. It was also weird playing the KH games as a whole on the PS4 since their framerates was bumped up to 60fps. After playing these games for years in 30fps, it really was a change. Really enjoyed all the extra content, will be moving on to BBS sometime soon.

It wasn't nearly as good as the 1st Dishonored. It was still fun enough, I suppose. But it didn't have the great foreboding, dark, steam-punk feel that the first one did. And it didn't have that memorable feeling of oppression and hopelessness that the first one did. I also didn't like how the guards were kind of just placed wherever. In the first game, it really felt like they were strategically placed to help you use your stealth abilities and think more.
But the gameplay was still the same, even if lacking. So it wasn't terrible. Worth a playthrough at least. But I don't think I will be revisiting this one like I did the original.

I finished Xenogears for the second time last night. The first time I played it was in, like, 1999 or 2000. So, it's been some time. It was great to go back to it and see it again for multiple reasons. It's still a great game that holds up well, too. However, if there was ever a game that would benefit from a remake or an enhanced port, it would be Xenogears. Some QoL additions and a more fleshed out second half would really go a long way.

Such fantastic games, glad I finally got around to play the handheld series since I had them in my collection for the longest time.

Just finished Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater the other day. Really enjoyed it. I had a hard time with the controls throughout the entire game it felt like, but even through that was able to enjoy what was going on. I didn't get to take advantage of a lot of the nuanced gameplay that exists, and finding out about a lot of the possibilities I missed out on makes me want to go back in for another playthrough, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. On to a restart of Metal Gear V now.

I love the NES game. And have played through it many times. This is the first time I've played through the GB Color version, though. It's for the most part the same game. But there are enough differences to make this one worth playing through.
First and foremost, the music in the NES version is soooo much better. And the final area was much cooler on the NES version. But it's not like that makes it a bad game, or anything. I still had a lot of fun playing through it. The controls and gameplay are still as fun as ever. And it was neat seeing what had changed.
If you're a Game Boy collector, this one is quite worthy to add to your handheld collection.

The 100% for Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker has been finished. I originally completed this on the PSP when it first released, but it works just fine as a console game too. The game is setup in bite-sized missions, but they still work well portable or not. Always liked the story to Peace Walker, has a lot of great moments. Like the other MGS games, it has a wonderful OST as well. My only gripe is the large amount of repeat fights against the armored vehicles in the extra ops. More so quantity over quality with those missions it seems. Overall, the HD version of Peace Walker is just as good as the original, if not better just for the control scheme. V for victory, rocket peace!

I cheated on this one. When I was on my last bit of health on my last life, I turned on the Game Genie code to be unhittable.
Fun beat-em up. But pretty basic, even by beat-em up standards. You have to be a Marvel fan to enjoy this one. The cutscenes REALLY could have used more than just text. At least some still artwork.

I finally finished Dungeon Travelers 2. And, there is still a good 50 hours or so of post-game content to go. I won't be touching it, but it's amazing just how much stuff they packed into this game. What looks like just another, innocent dungeon crawler turns out to be a grueling adventure that only the most experienced fans of the genre will enjoy.
It'll be a while before I start another dungeon crawler because this one wore me out. Other dungeon crawlers will have some serious shoes to fill because DT2 hit all the right notes AND delivered some of the most hilarious, over-the-top graphics.

I haven't QUITE finished it, but I defeated Grandmaster Nimzo during some down time at work... just in time for the release of Pokemon Ultra Sun.
I kind of want to do some extra stuff, but I definitely feel like I liked DQ4 more than DQ5. I do however feel that DQ5 didn't require me to do as much grinding. I mean, I did pretty much get bored and spent a week straight grinding against LMS until my team was over lvl 40, but I didn't have to, I just felt like mindless grinding rather than proceeding with the story.
As much as I'd like to start DQ6, I think I'll take a break and play some Ultra Sun.

Challenging, addicting, and very pretty-looking vertical shoot-em up game. You earn stars that you can then use to upgrade your plane with better armor, weapons, add-ons, etc. Which is the addicting part that gets you hooked. You'll find yourself going back over and over again just to get that next set of upgrades.
Highly recommended for the shoot-em up fan!
Oh, and it's on XBox Game Pass, which is only $1 to subscribe for a month (deal is on through Black Friday).

Fantastic retro-style 2D platformer, as always from Shantae. Has a heavy emphasis on exploration, and a great sense of humor. Spot-on controls. A great sense of progression with the character and item upgrades. And some very nice-looking 2D sprite-work. And most of all, it's fun as hell.
I still like Shantae: The Pirate's Curse a bit more, though.

31. Mega Man 2 (XBox One- via Mega Man Legacy Collection)
Best in the main Mega Man series (I still enjoy the Legends games more, though). Perfect NES music. Well designed stages. Difficulty not so hard as the original. And more eye-popping graphics than the original, while keeping the same feel. This is 8-bit Mega Man perfection!
I've got to say, though, that the emulation did have some issues here or there. There were a few places where the music wasn't quite right. And I remember one part where Mega Man is supposed to be sort of transparent, like a ghost, and it didn't like that. (Though the transparent thing was in Mega Man 3, not 2.) Not game breaking or anything, but you'd think in 2017, that issues like this would no longer be a problem.
Fun game, and highly recommended for the few 2D platformer fans that haven't played it.

It's just a straight port of the arcade version of Final Fight, with a few emulator bonuses like filters and save states.
But it's still one of my favorite arcade games from my childhood. This was a machine I played frequently. So it was a fun trip down memory lane.
Great controls and 2D graphics from Capcom, and like most Capcom games of this era: fantastic music.
My only complaint: People can just jump into your game from online. That bugged me a bit. I didn't want help, so I had to back out and start the level over again.

Love this game, so much. This expansion, though, was just kind of meh. Not great, not bad. But killed some more time.
It just felt a little underwhelming after waiting so long for it. I finished it in just a couple of afternoons. The motorcycle "Divine Beast" you gain, is really cool. But it's also kind of pointless since you get it at the very end of the last DLC for the game. Not gonna really use it much.
Still, it's Breath of the Wild, and still, it was cool to revisit the world and explore a little more.

Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter.
Almost gave up on this, the series has always been janky but for reason they added crappy action bits and stealth. For a small studio they shouldn't be shoving these things into a detective/puzzle games when they can't do them well.
The game does the cases well and really liked the last chapter, shame about all the crap they try to add to make it appeal to the gamer that hates the puzzle/detective bits, go and play an action game. Anyway I found this game on one popular game tracker on http://invites-shop.com/en/category/popular/ so now I can focus on something more interesting.

I've had a tradition since Metroid Prime came to complete it every year during "Christmas Break." I don't get much of a break these days, but the holidays just don't feel complete without it.
I changed things up this year though and played, and finished Super Metroid... for the FIRST TIME. What trip! several nights I was up until the sun came up (that is saying something for December in the Northern Hemisphere). I have new appreciation for the SNES controller, though I still think it looks meh.
I've finished Prime, Metroid (NES), Metroid II, Fusion, and Samus Returns, but I'm thinking I might have to expand my tradition to playing a new Metroid each winter until I circle back around. Zero Mission in 360 days, and counting.

It's a classic, and damned what people say, it still stands the test of time just fine. Kept me glued to my TV for 2 days straight. And if a game is still fun, then it has aged just fine.

BurningDoom's 2018 Beaten Games List
1. Mercs (Arcade) 2. Combatribes (Arcade) 3. The Legend of Zelda - 2nd Quest (NES)
Very fun super-hero beat-em up with an average story. The gimmick of being able to play as 4 different Spider-Men, each with their own playstyle, keeps the game more than fun enough to make up for the average story, though. And there is a very cool ability/power-up system that will keep you reaching for certain goals.
Not sure why it's one of the few XBox 360 games going for over $20 used, though. While it is good, it's not great either.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on the Switch
Amazing game, definitely lived up to it's hype, for me that is. I was a bit concerned in the beginning with the change of direction and that it's not your traditional Legend of Zelda type of game. But the change was something bold and I admire that from Eiji Aonuma to take that risk and it paid off.
Completed the game and just 4 shrines left (out of 120) which I'll get to after typing this ;) And of course Korok seeds, I got about 350+ already. I don't think I'll hunt all down, that's insane in my book, takes up too much time and my back log just keeps growing.
Favorite character for me is Kass, the traveling Rito storytelling musician (Bird Race). Really enjoyed solving his puzzles or hearing his music knowing a hidden shrine is nearby. Would have really liked an Amiibo of Kass.
The Zelda formula moving forward looks very promising, hopefully they merge the traditional Zelda with this new huge open world concept. More dungeons and bosses with unique dungeon items.

The unofficial follow-up to Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. This one is even more of a beat-em up than Shattered Dimensions. Shattered Dimensions had more depth with the upgrade system, had more depth with the different play-styles of each Spider-Man (especially Noir's stealth levels), and had more platforming going on.
Spider-Man: Edge of Time is a high-octane beat-em up with lots of explosions and action piece after action piece driving it all along. While this is cool at first, it does overstay it's welcome. And by the end, just feels like a big empty blur of random beat-em up encounters and explosion-filled cutscenes. There is a definite lack of super-villains, which is sad considering how big Spider-Man's rogue's gallery is, plus they had Spider-Man 2099's to play with. The setting gets boring real fast, too, since you never leave the Alchemex Corporation building during the entire game, that's right, the same metallic rooms in the ENTIRE GAME. And the story isn't much better, either. They make it seem like the big reveal of the baddie at the end is this big shocker, but since nothing else in the story is that interesting, you end up just not caring anyways.
Quite disappointed by this. Especially considering that Shattered Dimension had everything it needed to be fantastic game except for a great story. They could have hit it out of the park with this one, easily, and they gave us a lazy sequel, instead.

Very close to finishing Monster Hunter World but haven't gotten back on it in about a week or so, planning to jump back into that to finish up the story at least.
Title: Re: Recently completed/finished
Post by: tripredacus on February 27, 2018, 10:07:47 am
Finished, probably forever. :'(
Tales of Zestiria. It is a fun enough game but the tutorial system caused me a big problem. If the game is in tutorial mode, you need to complete the task before you can do (or take) damage. BUT sometimes it does not register, which is what happened to me, but I did not realise it for a time. It is because you can incorrectly defeat an enemy during a tutorial!
I will try to explain. The tutorial system goes along with the game instead of having a separate section. As you learn or unlock new abilities, the game will tell you how to use them and you must complete actions to move along. During this tutorial portion, you cannot do or take damage. In one fight you learn to use your powered up form. And you are supposed to do a healing spell to complete the tutorial. I think that perhaps the game had expected players to take damage, use the heal, then kill the monster. I never did the heal because my health never went below 50%.
So the issue here is that the game was stuck at that part of the tutorial, but I didn't learn this for many hours. It is because I was exploring and talking to so many people and doing all the dumb things, I had not been in another fight for a long time. After I had done everything I could in the city, I went out to explore, and of course I end up having to fight something. But I was doing no damage, taking no damage, the other people in my party would not take any actions even if ordered and I couldn't run from the fight. The game would not progress until I used the heal while in armored mode, but it would never work. Maybe it was because I was already at full health? The only way to exit the battle was to force close the game.
This is quite a big bug to leave into an old game like this. I wasn't about to restart and replay the game and hope I didn't run into it (or another bug) at some other point in the game. It is a shame, because it was pretty cool, but I just uninstalled it.

What did you think of Y2? It's my favorite in series.
I liked it, but the Terada stuff left me mildly confused. Was he bad? He wasn't, then he was, and then maybe he wasn't? I'm probably going to reserve judgment on that game until I play through Kiwami 2.
I also skipped almost all of the side content. If Kiwami 2 was for sure not coming stateside, I would've done the side content.

A few days ago, I finished the pacifist route in Undertale. The struggle to get there was quite real.
Having only 20 HP the entire game doesn't give you much room for error. I lost to just about every boss since Undyne at least once. The slow display speed of the text and the lack of a skip-dialogue option makes going back to those points tedious.
I don't play bullet-hells often, so boss battles were frustrating. It gets to a point where I got so sick of the music (which is still good) and the dialogue blips that I turned down the Vita and turned up something else. Getting to the hidden area that's only on a pacifist run was exciting, but it wasn't enough. I was expecting more after all of the frustration the game put me through. Of course, the mini-bosses in this area were just as unpleasant as the bosses to get to that point.
I'm glad I played this game. Partially for the experience, but mainly because I'll never have to play it again.

Forgot to add this to my list after beating it. I beat it a few weeks ago.
A fantastic JRPG, one of my favorites, now. I love the SNES-style charm to it (though I'm sure many people, at the time, felt like it was cliched and over-used). I love that you can use the characters non-battle abilities to solve Zelda-like battles. And while the battles may have been simple, they were still fun, and it didn't feel like chore watching over 10 different status bars and quick-time abilities on your character like modern RPGs.
It had a few really cool moments, like your main-character hacking off his arm to get away from a villain (brutal for a JRPG).
This should be an RPG that's up there with the likes of other PS1 RPGs like FF, Legend of Dragoon, and Xenogears. I enjoyed it just as much. And I will be moving on to 2 and 3 after this.

Great Metroid-Vania game with nice animations I must say. Even though it was a bit on the shorter side, the gameplay made up for it. Definitely liking these types of Indie games on the Switch.
Just wished they had more of them as physical copies to add to my collection rather than digital. One of the reasons why I am waiting for Owl Boy and Slain as physical on the Switch, already got Axiom Verge and Wonder Boy and the Dragon's trap physical on Switch which is great! 8)

Finished up completion on Yakuza 6! As a fan of the series and the legacy of the main character; I think it was a fitting end to his story. The longer the ending sat with me, the more it grew on me. While some fans seem to think of it as a bad, I think it was a very befitting end for the Dragon of Dojima. Looking forward, I'm excited to see what the new main character will bring to the series.

Everything about it is top quality, from the story, to the dialogue, the artstyle and graphics are completely spot on. The combat is engaging and satisfying along with the leveling up system. I don't usually platinum games but this one I just wanted to keep on playing.
One of the best aspects of the game is the dialogue between Kratos and his son and how a bond is grown together throughout their adventure. Definitely deserving of all the high scores it has received. God of War is up there for game of the generation for me along with Bloodborne. Amazing game, if you haven't played it or you're on the fence, do check it out. Kratos is a whole new character in this game and a damn good one. Can't wait for the hinted sequels. ;D

Miraculously, or maybe luckily, I was able to finish MOM Mode in Guilty Gear Accent Core Plus.
This mode pits you against all of the characters (except Justice and Kliff) in a one-round, gauntlet style set up. It starts simple enough, but around the 12th or so match the AI starts catching on and begins hitting back hard.
You don't recover any energy after a round is over. The only way to recover your energy is to remain on the offensive and build up the MOM Gauge so that recovery items pop out. Sometimes, you'll get lucky and get a few random drops.
So yeah, it's quite challenging. I was able to finish it with close to full health.

This has been a year of visual novels. Norn9 was meh, but Collar X Malice was pretty great. The story was clever, but the way it tackled issues like gun control, police brutality, and government mistrust was done in a way that wasn't preachy or overbearing. I definitely recommend it.
Up next, Psychadelica of the Black Butterfly.

Front Mission 3 is finished. I really liked it, but it wasn't without its flaws. Specifically, how long the story takes to get going. And, when it does get going, chances are it'll slow down. But, it had some great characters and some nice combat. With some tweaking, the combat could have been perfect.

Completed everything on this again (already did on original release some years back). It was nice to revisit Skyrim, in fully remastered HD again. But damn it's been too long since a new Elder Scrolls game. We didn't even get one this gen and we're not going to. Give me something new in this series, already!
And what I mean by completed it all is that I completed the main questline, the expansion main questlines, the Civil War, and all the guild questlines.

I just beat Vampyr on the PS4.
I'm not sure how to describe it...an action adventure game, heavily narrative based, with some janky Bloodborne-lite combat thrown in...that will do!
I really enjoyed it actually... interesting story and characters, awesome voice acting, great art direction. Some will hate the combat, but I thought it was fun.
My one gripe with it could do with being a bit shorter...I was mainlining the main questline in the last few hours to finish it off.

Metro 2033.
- Thought I'd play through it again. Still love the atmosphere and the world of the Metro. Really feels alive, despite the dead world.
Metro: Last Light.
- Decided to give the ranger hardcore mode a go and it was surprisingly easier than expected. I did find the lack of HUD to be both great and not-so-great at times, like how you can't check how many bullets you have left. As well as forgetting which button was for a particular moment in the story since I was going for the good ending.

I wasn't expecting much to be honest, but was completely blown away on how awesome and quirky this series is. The main story line, mini games, combat, to the voice acting, everything just clicked with me. I have Kiwami and gonna start that pretty soon after I clear some of my "older" back log.
But I can't wait to dive in to the Yakuza universe again to see what happens next to Kiryu and Majima.

I make a point of never starting more than two games at a time (one console/PC and one handheld) but this winter got crazy fast. Having a kid and a new job reduced my game time and made me play a bunch of things that I felt like playing when I had spare time, instead of forcing myself to continue a game that I might've not felt like playing at that precise moment. Time is precious! But yea.....now I have a backlog of 11 games currently half-played. :o

Just finished Slain: Back from Hell on the Switch. Fun 2D side scrolling game with some decent combat mechanics - Parrying, timed attacks, spells, etc.
The animations is what really stick out imo, nice and fluid for a 2D based game. Plus of course the music, if you're into heavy guitar riffs the soundtrack is great with headphones.
I understand this game had a poor initial release due to it's controls, however after they patched it with better controls, checkpoints, combat mechanics, boss encounters, etc. The game is pretty fun now.
I definitely enjoyed my time with it.

Halo 2 on Heroic (On PC)! So good! Aside from a couple glitches the game was a ton of fun. Playing as the Arbiter was awesome and using the energy sword was a blast.
I felt the final boss was a little underwhelming but whatever.
The soundtrack kicked absolute ass. The only better Halo song that comes to mind is One Final Effort from Halo 3 (final mission).
It was so good I bought the soundtrack CDs and the books, and the official strategy guide.
Absolutely awesome.

Finished South Park: The Fractured but Whole last night. It's not as good, as challenging, or outlandish as The Stick of Truth, but it was still a pretty fun game. The more dynamic combat system was more fun that the original, but the story wasn't nearly as strong, and I never had a failed combat encounter. In fact, I only died 3-4 times, and those were all due to puzzles / environmental mechanics where I wasn't 100% sure what I was supposed to do.

Finished Mega Man X over the weekend, still amazing as always.
Finished Mega Man X2 last night, definitely not better than X1. Most fights are definitely reliant on use of sub-tanks, but the final boss fight wasn't bad at all, did it on my first try and only barely had to use 1 sub-tank. Final boss fight was definitely better and more enjoyable than X1's final boss fight.
Still not a fan that you have to get through all Final Stages in one run, really hoping later titles will let you save and start on 2nd, 3rd, etc stages of the final section.

I finished Mega Man 7. It is not very good. I don’t understand how a game that came out two years after the first X game is this much worse.

Gonna take a break for a while and then I'll come back to it. I need to find a walkthrough that doubles as a trophy roadmap so I can see what the most efficient way to go about beating the game and obtaining the most trophies. Platinum-ed the first collection, kind of want to platinum the second.
As part of taking a break my wife convinced me to play Among the Sleep. Finished that in a few hours. Need to pick a new game, jump back into Yakuza Dead Souls, or go back to X5.

I beat Raiden V (Xbox One) today...literally less than 2 hours after purchasing it.
...what a rip-off. And this is BOTH the story mode and boss rush mode...and no, I did not play on easy.
Luckily I did only get the digital copy. I was looking at $60 disc-versions, but needed money elsewhere so got the digital version instead, which isn't normal for me.
I mean, it was fun while it lasted. It's just that I'm nearly sure the original arcade/SNES/Genesis version was longer than this (and better). While this is not a bad shoot-em up, by any means, it still wasn't as good as other entries in the superb Raiden series.

I finished Halo 5: Guardians solo on Legendary. The squad mechanic was probably equal parts a help and a nightmare. Half the time I'd get taken down and request a heal and the AI team would just stand there next to me. The other half the squad was the only reason I survived tough encounters. Fix the AI and it might be tolerable.
The story was... not great? I hate the idea that Cortana somehow survived the previous game. I know Halo 4 gets a ton of crap, but the finale with Cortana's sacrifice was genuinely moving for anyone who had been playing since the first game. 5 retcons that ending immediately to tell the same "progenitor race" story that has been told a thousand times in sci-fi already (notably Mass Effect). The Locke / Master Chief conflict seemed to resolve for no real reason. A big ball-drop for the story as a whole.

Mega Man 11 was pretty good. I’d place it right below 10 on my rankings, but I’d not consider that a bad spot. The only games I would consider bad are 8, 1, and 7. But when a series is consistently good as this one it becomes hard to stand out, and the slight downsides (mediocre music and sound design) are enough to drop it a couple of slots.

Finally finished Assassin's Creed Syndicate. Took way longer than expected, probably because I took so many breaks in between. Pretty good AC game, I did like the chemistry between the protag twins Evie and Jacob Frye. Black Flag is still better though.
I have AC Origins, but I'll probably play that way later and play some other games in between. Don't like to do back to back open world games or I'll get fatigue for the series.

Also played through the HD versions of the Resident Evil Remake and Resident Evil Zero not too long back; again.
Don't really want to play through RE2 again, though. I don't want it that fresh in my mind when playing the remake.

I got a double shot. First I picked up Darksiders III when it released. Played through it. Enjoyed it just like the first two (hoping for the 4th now to get finished before the lifecycle of the PS4 is over cause we need all 4 on the 4!). Then I got a chance to play through Hellblade: Senua's sacrifice ... wow. A very unique game but damn, its freaking awesome. So glad that this was given the physical treatment it needed cause otherwise I wouldnt have gotten to experience this masterpiece.
Oh and I finished Dragon Quest XI before Darksiders if I didnt post it previously. 155 hours strong. Such a great game.
Im planning on giving Salt & Sanctuary and Cosmic star heroine a shot before the beginning of the year.

I say, definitely try out the 2nd run with Leon, not only are the weapons different but the locations and people you meet are different as well. For example, if you played with Claire, then you got the Sherry Birkin segment. Leon will get Ada...

FromSoftware is truly one of the greats when it comes to modern games imo. Gameplay to atmosphere to level design to soundtrack to character design... Amazing.
That last boss fight was something as well, hah! Talk about challenging, but I loved it!
Gonna do a second run at a later time. Fantastic game, reminds me more of the Tenchu series than Dark Souls.

Reviving this thread ;D We all love playing games here, so what have you all finished recently during this Stay at Home Period?
I Just finished Sydney Hunter and the Curse of Mayan on the Switch. Talk about a fun throwback retro title, difficult and challenging too. Basically adds a lot of popular retro title mechanics into one fun platformer with plenty of collectables and secrets with optional powerups for those challenging parts later in the game. Good Stuff if you like retro inspired games.

But unfortunately for me, it's like Metallica. A band that is great, but has had so much radio play that I'm fine with never hearing them again.

I've finished both Kurt's and Laura's quests in Unlimited Saga. I've been following guides because even if you know what you're doing, the game is still a big ol' ball of chaos. Having extra resources and help available has made the journeys much smoother despite all of the game's bumps.
I've actually had Unlimited Saga since release and managed to make it to the end with Judy not long after. But I didn't have any clue what I was doing and I think most of the gamers on this side of the world did, either.
I'll probably go through Judy's quest and put the game away for a spell. It's nice having finished another game in the series and having my opinion of the game improve, albeit slightly.

After running through 52 Games challenge, and playing games that looked interesting and seeing the difference between being interested and being hooked on something. For a lot of those games, I'm not really interested in trying to overcome a challenge if the game doesn't have that *something* that makes me want to bother. Then there are games that do and I will certainly attempt to challenge or handicap myself in order to complete some sort of goal.
And in this my latest challenge in Civilization V, which was initially to just attempt a 1 City Challenge victory on Amazon Plus. Amazon Plus is one of the built-in maps that is a large wide open area, and this presents a different set of challenges because the resources are very limited at the beginning of the game. There are other issues in general with 1-city, and that is it is difficult to win a science victory, impossible to win cultural and hard for dom, presuming you have those conditions enabled. I had attempted this run about 5 times before I got some sort of system figured out. My first few attempts were on King and then down to Prince, and lost Culture to Iroquois and a few other games had an overzealous France.
So the settings were: random civ (Assyria), Prince, Amazon Plus, random size, random opponents, 1-city, raging barbarians, victory conditions enabled: science, diplomacy. The biggest threat was, by far, the Aztecs being present in the game. My goal was to run through Piety, get the Barbarian conversion ability through religion, then capture barbs and donate them to city states. Having only 1 city has the drawbacks that 1) you can't afford large armies and 2) your prod gets cut if you are housed. Now this isn't like some games where you can't add new units if pop-capped, you can still make new units, and buy them with faith but you take a prod penalty. At one point my penalty was -70% which is huge.
In the entire game I only made a handful of military for myself. 1 archer, 1 cannon and 4 bi-planes. All of my other military was from scout/ruin upgrades, or from missionaries turning barbarians. Considering the Aztecs, I had to do everything in my power to make them my friend so they wouldn't attack me. That meant converting them early to my religion which did a lot early on. Later on when the other civs were being wiped out by them (because I was paying Montezuma to attack them), it got pretty close to where I was scared he would attack me. So I then went right into gold production and would give the Aztecs 500 gold every 10 turns to keep them happy. They got to the second SS booster by the time I won diplomatic victory.

Though I wasn't the one actually playing, I did experience a Resident Evil Village playthrough as a spectator. While I'm not all that familiar with the series, this was followed up after watching playthroughs of Resident Evil VII: Biohazard and Resident Evil 2 (2019). Overall, I enjoyed what the game offered, and, knowing little about Resident Evil 4, I did like seeing the similar environments and little tributes to that specific series entry.
This isn't a unpopular opinion by any means, but the game did seem fairly easy when on playing with a normal difficulty setting. I'm sure that changes when playing with higher difficult settings to allow the game feel more as a survival horror title, although the post-game unlockables lead me to believe that Capcom is promoting even more action-style gameplay under the guise of a more intense challenge. However, those elements are entirely optional when playing the game on any difficult setting, so perhaps not. In one section of the game, the gameplay shifted to such high-action shooter sequences, which I did not enjoy, but the section was fairly short.
Ultimately, I do think I found more enjoyment in Biohazard than in Village, but Village was still a fun experience. While they're both quite similar in terms of gameplay, Biohazard's setting and characters are just more interesting.

Halo: Infinite
Interesting, for sure. It's a marriage of Halo and Far Cry, two series I really like.
And while it was entertaining, and a game I'm glad I played; I'm not sure it did either particularly great. The Halo parts and story were better in other games, and Far Cry set-up was bigger and more interesting in other Far Cry games.
But still, definitely worth playing and I'm glad that they tried something new. Maybe with the next entry they can polish up what they introduced here and make it better.

You can actually beat Casino Games? There's an ending?
yes, by reaching 1.000.000 $ ... game really stops, giving you a picture of your gambler sitting beside a pool w 2 beautiful women ^^ it's important to note down your account-no. wich can be always checked as soon as you reach a thousand. That way you can always "load" your game, should you loose to much money. Quickest way to boost is the game Baccarat.

Amazing game done in the Super Metroid style. Huge improvement on the original. And better than the Nintendo official remake.

I finally completed Mass Effect 3 last night making the Legendary Edition finally completed as well. I picked it up at launch last May to give an idea of how long it took me to play through the 70-75 hours for the three games.
Solidified as my second favorite series of all time.

Just finished Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy on Xbox Series X.
...it was fun, but not as great as everyone seemed to make it out to be. It was something that I was glad I played through, but don't see myself revisiting, either. Repetitive combat, and a kind of meh story for me. But the character dialogue and interactions were fun.
Afterwards I played through the short games of Wolflame - A cool shoot-em up inspired by the Raiden games on the Shmup Collection for Switch. And the House of the Dead remake for Switch.
And recently completed both arcade games on the TMNT: Cowabunga Collection on Xbox Series X.

I was a spectator for most of a Ghost of Tsushima playthrough. Before, I had thought that this would be a game that I may want to play myself, but my opinion has changed. The biggest fault I think the game has is that its open world environment does not reward players in any meaningful way for actually exploring. While there are a lot of collectibles to gather, they don't serve any meaningful purpose. At the same time—albeit to a lesser degree—the combat does not seem that interesting to engage in. The ability to sneak and to pursue that style of play seems more enjoyable than aggressive confrontations, but I feel as if other games are much more successful regarding those kinds of mechanics.
