"RULES"
1. Have fun 2. Beat games - proof NOT required via an image, but lying is lame and you won't 'win' anything for beating the most games 3. IF you are interested in badges, when you beat a game for 1, include something like 'Counts towards badge X' OR 'Earns me badge X, first game was Y' 4. IF you don't care about badges, then I will not be handing them out 5. No monthly leaderboards will exist in '22, I will post in the thread maybe around mid month and after month's end the top 5 or so participants 6. DLC generally doesn't count towards badges and any 1 game can only count towards a single badge Rule addendum: Going forward (after July 15th), badges for anyone who cares, will only be credited for beating 2 completely unique titles. Rule addendum: If you beat a title multiple times on different consoles then it needs to be <air-quote> LONGER </air-quote> in nature and not a fighting game or overall short title for me to list it for multiple consoles. It also could only count as 1 title for a badge, per the prior addendum listed above. |
ICONS & BADGES
Key - 50% of systems covered, - 100% of systems covered, - 0 games beat, - 5 games beat, - 10 games beat (additional gold stars for 20, 30, 40, 60, etc), - 50 games beat, - 100 games, - 150 games, - 200 games, - top user in systems completed, - top user in games beaten, - badge leader |
Badges, note 2 games required for each

I beat Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions .
[imgt]https://i.imgur.com/...[/imgt]
What a remake! I played the GBA version in high school after playing PiT through DT, and I had a few beefs with it. When they announced the remake in 2017, I nodded, figuring that a remake could fix the issues that bogged down my first playthrough. Alphadream did just that—the graphics look good now, the Bros. Actions are far more streamlined and less of a chore to perform, the special moves remind you how to use them in the heat of battle, and the map is more convenient. They brought out the best in that wacky adventure!
Additionally, that added a fun new mode: Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser. It tells the story of what happened to Bowser’s loyal followers after the Koopa Cruiser crashed at the start of the game. Turns out with the power of amusing retcons, a single Goomba—your unconfident hero—inadvertently caused many of the problems Mario, Luigi, and Bowser faced. Huuuuh-whoops! He and his band of fellow minion captains are a likeable bunch, and you find yourself really rooting for them to beat Fawful and earn the respect of their brainwashed superiors. The mode is a sort-of RTS, with two armies clashing and you passive influencing their stats and attacks. You might find yourself grinding a bit as it gets harder, as enemy levels just keep increasing and you’re frequently switching out your team, and the EXP isn’t evenly distributed as a result. But it’s worth it to see the conclusion:

Earns me the 2nd Amendment badge after completing Crysis 2 earlier
This was a solid title, with a few mehs. It clearly is an homage to the classic Doom titles as its look, atmosphere, some of the enemies and some of the weapons all feel like I was back in the early 90's. I enjoyed much of this, but did yearn for it to end oddly.
The few mehs were the enemies color choices - 1 line of them were all red, another basically blue variants of the red ones and they'd shoot you with those colored projectiles and many would explode in those same colors (covering the walls/floor/etc), so if you got close it was sometimes difficult to discern dead enemy guts from incoming projectiles or area of effect projectiles. Another meh was you needed to collect ore as currency to purchase some guns and all levels had generally 4-10 each. Well some were overly tough to find and then there were a few sort of optional levels for a weapon trial and you'd have to rush through it, shooting targets to reach the end fast enough to unlock like 3 bits of ore. Well I sucked at the rushing/aiming approach with an Xbox controller (that would do auto-aim assist and that was also blah), so I think using a KB/M would've been better there, but the whole locking of the weapons behind the purchase system was something I could have lived without.
Also they judged progression on a % scale and I finished the campaign, revisited 1 level and did all the trial levels (poorly) and only got to 68%. I did miss many bits of ore in mainly the earlier levels, so much so that I couldn't afford the final shop weapon and barely got the next to last one. But you also needed to get 100% kills and 100% secrets (which was often those ore bits, but not always). I got 100% kills pretty much every level as I was an explorer, but with my barely over 2/3rds percentage, I surely left a lot there.
I don't think I enjoyed it enough to replay most of the levels to find the ore even though in later levels, after unlocking the double-jump, I did generally find all or all but 1 bit.

I adored replaying this again on the PS5 at a much deserved 60fps mode! It was smooth as butter. And of course everything else along with it right down to the iconic storytelling and voice acting and orchestrated score to really make you feel the weight of the journey at all times. I forgot how much the reinvigorated gameplay made the game feel that much more whole too. Now I am finally ready to tackle Ragnarok!

I agree about Triangle Strategy. I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did. It was one of my favorites of the year.
Story was real good also. With the decisions I usually chose loyalty or honor (making house Waldorf seem like House Stark). I didn't hate the english VO either. I think the weakest part is there is zero chemistry between the main love interests, and the main character isn't that great of a VA. He's not terrible, but isn't good for the weight of the story. Also, they used "pray" too much. Other than that, the VA was never cringe bad to my ears. It was passable. With some characters being way above passable.

#64 down: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022) on PS5. The campaign wasn’t very long, but it was fun (other than a couple of tedious parts). Some parts were pretty creative, and it’s a good-looking game.

very cool. Definitely want to play some day. But I only ever played the very first MW. So I'm playing that again, and gonna work my way up to modern COD campaigns eventually. Lots of FPS fun ahead for me!

I'm free! I've finished the last Zelda game in my year-long Legend of Zelda marathon! I'll be doing a full write-up in a few days to share my experiences with this star-studded adventure franchise.
[imgt w=1280 h=720]https://pbs.twimg.co...[/imgt]
I beat The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening . This Switch remake is excellent, perfectly capturing the spirit of the original while updating the graphics to look like a diorama. You can equip more items and so you no longer have to pause every two seconds to switch things out. The Nintendo references remained untouched, right down to those characters the Zelda team used without permission (looking at you, Anti-Kirby). A few alterations were made to make the game more uniform across regions while removing any immature implications (the hippo and the mermaid, respectively). Koholint Island is more fun to explore than ever!
I respect that the goal was to remain extremely faithful to the Game Boy game, as that's an admirable goal. But comparing this 2019 game against 2013's A Link Between Worlds does make me think that they may have stuck a little too close to the 1993 original. Link's animations for turning are deliberately jerky with no frames between them. Any sprite that was created for the overworld in 1993 has been recreated and placed in the exact same spot here, which is evident when you see a large gap made up of five identical square holes placed side by side--a modern remake could've made that one big hole to make it look more organic. This doesn't affect the game's quality, but it's something I noticed. As a '90s remake, there are a couple moments that may tempt you to Google the solution, but I got through 99% of it using my own brain and Ulrira's phoneline.
Thanks to @Missile for the sale! Best price I've found for a complete copy!

Hi all, took a break from the site, but not from gaming I'll list most of what I've been up to the last few months and if you really need to know which month I completed them I'll check time stamps and throw up some pictures.
I got back into Destiny so I've spend allot of time playing that. I had allot of catching up to do given its been so long since I played. I went through and completed all the DLCs I had missed (that were still available, allot were vaulted).
I completed the story and raids for the following DLC expansions:
Destiny 2 Shadow Keep
Destiny 2 Witch Queen
Destiny 2 Beyond Light
I also completed these seasonal DLC story campaigns
Season of the Haunted
Season of the Risen
Season of Plunder
One thing I've been wanting to do for a while now was complete all the Skylanders Playstation games on my new profile. The only version I still want to play is the Wii and Wii U versions so I can use DK/Bowser finally. Since I have a ton of characters already max level (stats are saved to the character) it definitely made the games much easier. I even still had chaos trapped in a crystal. Some of the imaginator characters I had were super over powered, not even the bosses could put up a fight.
Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure
Skylanders: Giants
Skylanders: Swap Force
Skylanders: Swap Force
Skylanders: Trap Team
Skylanders: Trap Team
Skylanders: SuperChargers
Skylanders: SuperChargers
Skylanders: Imaginators
Skylanders: Imaginators
This next game I beat was a game that I really enjoyed. So much so that I bought it again on Playstation. Really fun game with some great music. I completed it a while ago on Game Pass then bought it again recently when it was on sale for Playstation.
Metal: Hellsinger
Metal: Hellsinger
Here are a few games I completed because I found the servers were going down. So wasn't something high on my to play list, but I had to bump them up.
FarCry 3
Onrush
I've been wanting to finish up watch dogs legion for a while now. I completed it a long time ago, but to get all the DLC trophies I had to start the game from scratch. So I played through the entire game again on resistance mode and I also completed the Aiden/Wrench DLC story lines (Bloodline). The game was so much better getting to use the DLC characters. I mainly used Aiden, Wrench and Darcy.
Watch Dogs Legion
Watch Dogs Legion
Watch Dogs Legion: Bloodline DLC
Watch Dogs Legion: Bloodline DLC
As good as Legion is, it still had me thinking about how good the previous games were. I must admit the DLC characters in Legion made the game better, but I still liked Chicago and San Francisco much better. So I decided to play though them again. I was a bit worried with all the games Ubisoft was taking offline I might loose my chance. The PS3 version is a mess, it never finds people even where your standing in the same spot on the map. I still haven't gotten some of the PVP stuff done.
Watch Dogs 2
Watch Dogs
I'm going to be doing a Resident Evil marathon as well, it wont be all the games, but plan to play 5/6 for PS3/4 and all of the remakes. So far I have completed 1 RE game.
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City - Echo Six Expansion Pack 1
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City - Echo Six Expansion Pack 2
Some easy games I added in between longer games:
Magus
Ice Age 3
Synergia
The Bunker
The Little Acre
Alien Engine
Organic Engine
Steam Engine
Cyber Engine
Windmill Engine
Alexio
Black Death: A Tragic Dirge
And here is another random DLC I completed
TOEM: Basto DLC
I also completed the Cowabunga Collection again on the not sure if you will count them, but I'll list them anyway since I did clear them all again on
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Arcade)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time (Arcade)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Back from the Sewers
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: Radical Rescue
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters
I'm about to play through Goat Simulator and the DLCs before I take on the newest game.

I was a bit worried with all the games Ubisoft was taking offline I might loose my chance. The PS3 version is a mess, it never finds people even where your standing in the same spot on the map. I still haven't gotten some of the PVP stuff done.
Watch Dogs 2
Watch Dogs

@WithinTemptation It would be a huge help if you sorted them by month, since you probably don't want them all added to November. Thanks!

I respect that the goal was to remain extremely faithful to the Game Boy game, as that's an admirable goal. But comparing this 2019 game against 2013's A Link Between Worlds does make me think that they may have stuck a little too close to the 1993 original.
Agreed. I wish they had done more with it than just a 1-for-1 remake.

For November:
Kromaia Omega (PS4): Interesting game for some quick plays. It can get headache-inducing sometimes and it's not that long to beat, but it seems like it needs multiple playthroughs to see the real ending. Might go for it later.
Assassin's Creed II (PS4): Had an impulse to play some AC and went with this one as I had the Ezio Collection installed for some time now. I played the first one a long time ago, but this one definitely feels better to play. The history is cool, although I think it drags a bit at the end. Also, the map is a bit sluggish. Got the plat for it.
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (PS4): Started it immediately after ACII. Having it confined to a single, larger region makes it flow better. The main story also felt shorter, although the post-game clean-up feels heavier because of the synchronization requirements. The map is smooth this time, and the visuals are better. The store/income management made more sense in the previous game though. I'm missing 2 trophies for the plat (all flags, 100% sync) but idk if I'll go for it soon, I might just move on to Revelations.
Earthworm Jim 2 (Genesis): Finally beat this after 25 years of first playing it, god bless save states lol The last stage was infuriating. It's cool how every level has its own thing going. Such a shame this was the last good EJ game we got.

@WithinTemptation How was Synergia? I still haven't beaten a game on the Vita this year and I'm thinking of playing it since I hear it's not very long.

#65 down: Captain America: Super Soldier on PS3. I did it. I finished all of the badges. This clear + my previous clear of Henchman Story on PS4 gets me the Quest for Peace badge. This was a pretty solid superhero game. They got the shield mechanics just right, and the fighting was decently fun. They gave the Captain a good dodge option and counters. I found myself getting lost a few times, because the game has you backtrack several times to areas you've been to previously, and, at times, you have to navigate a sewer system to get from place to place in which pretty much everything looks the same. Still, there were some cool cinematic moments, and some of the boss fights were quite solid. The Metacritic score has this at 61%, but I think it's a little better than that.

If you like visual novels then I think you will enjoy this. Story is great. I wont say much more to avoid spoilers. There is a kickstarter page you can check out that gives allot of information about the story and characters. I'd guess you can beat it in 3-6 hours depending on how much you "explore". There is also multiple endings so you could maybe double that time.

For Frank's Game of the Month thread, I finished Super Mario World for the Super Nintendo.
I already talked about how Super Mario World was my favorite Mario game when I beat the Game Boy Advance port last year. If there was any doubt to that devotion, I picked the game again back up again year to take it all the way to 100% with every exit and every Yoshi Coin collected. Despite the love I have for the game and its portable version, never having a childhood Super Nintendo means I've spent comparitively little time with the original, save for a brief playthrough with the Wii Virtual Console release, and a 100% run on an emulator back in college.
(Bonus Artifact: One of my suitemates noted that the mustachoed, baseball-capped "fall" variant of Koopa Troopas looked like a mutual neighbor named Adil. I still have the 22-year-old screenshot that we used to immortalize that revelation.)
Taking Frank's nomination as an opportunity to revisit one of my favorite games, I played through it this time on my MiSTer for the first time on an analog display since I played it in a friend's living room three decades earlier. As usual, I spent way too much time uncovering secret exits in Donut Ghost House, breezed through Star Road with an arsenal of colored Yoshi's under my arm, and limped my way through the front door to Bowser's Castle after the trial and error of figuring out which doors don't lead to deathboxes.
Before long, I was starting at the end card that a friend had once - in the pre-Donkey Kong Country era - considered the best graphics he'd ever seen.

We're approaching the end of the year, and with a long vacation and another large video project on the horizon, it doesn't seem likely that many of my ten remaining platforms will see a completed game by the time 2023 rolls around. I'm expecting to finish Mega Man 7 for the Retro Talkshop Thread, and I'm working my way through the epic final stages of Kid Icarus: Uprising, but both of those are on platforms that have already been checked off for 2022.
There's a chance I might be able to squeeze in a Game Gear, Vita, or even a Stadia game because of their portable natures, but we'll see how time and network connections can afford such things. With my Analogue Pocket Game Gear adapter (and dock!) coming tomorrow, I'm itching to try the console's Game Gear support and screen filters.

For Frank's Game of the Month thread, I beat Mega Man 7 .
[imgt w=1280 h=720]https://pbs.twimg.co...[/imgt]
Great game for sure, but the final boss kinda ruins the ride at the very end. Oh well, I'll forgive it and play it again eventually. I wish the series had more games with the MM7 art style--it's really good! I always hear the Mega Man 8 voice actors when I read the dialogue in 7.
I kinda wish they made the original version of MM7 available as an option in Mega Man Legacy Collection 2. They used the superior second print, evident by the cool credits scene I posted above. The original is just as important though, as it forces Mega Man to battle Dr. Willy and a potty-mouthed Bass. Some things must die for some to live, I suppose.

Time for me to add a December clear. Decided to see what had been added to Switch Online and found Psycho Dream, a super famicom game that I had considered buying before but decided against it due to the price.
Although the cost of the cart is a bit high, there's really no better way to describe this game than a poor man's Castlevania.
You start out with a ridiculously short range weapon, but after several powerups you get a six-way screen filling shot that makes short work of anything but bosses (and it makes long work of them).
Take too many hits when powered up though and you go back to the original dinky weapon of worthlessness.
https://photos.app.g...
It's...okayish. Controls are average, hit detection is very sloppy. Level design is sometimes a slog but they do try different things in some of them which is nice. The bosses are large and cool and easily the best part of the game.
It takes maybe 45 minutes to an hour to clear it, so if you have Switch Online you might want to check it out. No English required - there is some story text at the very beginning of the game but that's about it. It's an action game the rest of the way through. Honestly though, any castlevania game is better.

Got my first clear of Dec, 73rd overall, 7th MAME
Spinmaster
Would've got me the run-gun, but already have it
Had a personal goal to beat something on all of my mini/classic type systems and I only needed something on my Legends Gamer Mini and this fit the bill. Was a decent run-gun (yo-yo) game that looked/felt a little like Metal Slug. I beat all 5 levels pretty easily, burning through maybe 8+ credits and the final section was annoying with green poison water I suppose coming out of the walls in certain areas that was a bit too easy to miss and get hit by. The final boss was also kinda crazy as he had 4 phases and therefore simply took to longest to beat, though really none of his phases were overly difficult.

I beat Super Metroid. Though I didn't list listed under consoles, since I don't currently play it that often, so no need to count it. Wanted to post a beaten game here, since it's been awhile.
Pretty fun game. Holds up well. I got lost numerous times, which sometimes made things tricky, but overall it was a fun experience, and worth playing.
