"RULES"

1. Respect each other and the gamekeeper(s) - this activity is a gift to the community, and jerks kill the fun.
2. Beat games. Proof is NOT required via an image, but lying is lame and you won't win anything for beating the most games. All you get is bragging rights.
3. It doesn't matter when you started the game - as long as you finish it this year, it counts. However, you cannot load up a finished save file and refight the final boss to get a clear.
4. DLC campaigns can count as a single clear for their respective game, so beating The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Champion's Ballad counts as two clears: BOTW and BOTW DLC. Any further DLC completed for that game will be lumped into the first campaign.
5. If you are interested in badges, when you beat a game for one, include something like 'Counts towards badge X' OR 'Earns me badge X, first game was Y.' One particular badge requires proof to obtain, however.
6. All participating past gamekeepers are thanked with a medal: image

Wait, these things are expensive! Like $100+! I thought you said they were the cheaper option to the Zelda Game&Watch? I finally picked up the Game&Watch from Walmart the other day for $25, but even the regular price was $50. Guess I won't be playing this one after all.

in two days. $20 well spent. [imgt]https://i.imgur.io/v...[/imgt] Game is only about 40 minutes long and has a few problems. It lags sometimes, rope-jumping is frequent and difficult, hitboxes can be off, and some of the bosses are hard enough to drain your life pool if you don't bring more health and a spinach projectile into the battle. Those gripes aside, I liked it! It's a pleasant little platformer with some decent music, an amusing sense of humor, and enough challenge to keep you amped. Were it a little better, I'd call it the Wellington Burger of Popeye games.
So it's still worth me tracking down a copy?

I've got 3 of em, but 2 do not work properly. If I can get another one to function I would propose a trade for some of your good stuff! I will get back to you if and when this is the case if you are interested

Another one down. Portal: Still Alive on

Playing this was fun. Especially since the visuals were upped to 4K. Doesn't look as good as PC's RTX, but still pretty good.

#2 Bayonetta 3

As much as I enjoyed this 3rd installment I couldn’t help but feel it wasn’t better than the last game. Although I did rather enjoy the final chapter and that one moment in the final boss fight where something cool happened that recalled the prior 2 games. The Kaiju like fights were neat at first but got repetitious towards the end and I’m not sure if it was just me but the controls felt a little too loosey goosey for my tastes this time around and not as buttoned up as the last 2 games. Some platforming sections got a little annoying when time wasn’t on your side. The music was great as always as was the high octane combat. I liked how you got to control various demons this time around too and incorporated them into the core gameplay mechanic. The story was all over the place and didn’t really hook me in until the very final chapter when I went OHHHHH so that’s what they were trying to convey! But again, who really plays Bayonetta games for its intricately woven story?

Not sure how there’s gonna be a Bayonetta 4 after that ending where she kinda died but I’m sure they’ll make it work. Money always wins in the end. Flawless victory.

Alas it was a long wait and worth it for the most part. I look forward to future entries although I must say I wish they would change up the formula a bit or perhaps release future entries on better hardware like the successor to the Switch since it’s now a Nintendo exclusive. The frame drops in here we’re a bit too frequent for my liking.

(perhaps replace

This was really enjoyable, albeit very short. It really makes me wish there was a Portal 3.

Imagine a Portal fight against giant head Cave Johnson!!

Yes, I'd say so. Though tracking down a Wellington Burger at Wimpy's burger shop in Universal's Islands of Adventure (shameless plug) is more worthwhile.

Though you should keep your eyes peeled for one below $30--it's extremely short. Maybe watch an LP and see if it floats your boat before going all in.

Nice job on Panzer Dragoon. I don't know why, but, for some reason, there was a stage near the end that I could never get past when I was playing that on Stadia awhile back. I died every time and eventually gave up.

I had a hard time with the last stage the first time I played through the game. The only reason I didn't this time around is because I learned to be extremely vigilante and proactive with enemy targeting during all my failed attempts the first time.

The tunnel level is rough too. Lots of hazards, and damaging the boss is more difficult than it needs to be.

As much as a cheerleader as I am for Stadia, I booted up the Steam version today to see if the save games can be copied over (they can't, at least not without additional effort), and it controls a lot more smoothly and with less lag than the Stadia version. Nothing I really noticed without playing the games back to back, though.

Feel like I was on a roll to start the month/year but now I've bogged down, but I'm actively playing at least 5 games right now and making progress on them all.
Focusing on a smaller set of consoles but trying to cycle through them vs just playing a bunch of XSX games changes things up for me. I like the change, but part of it is my console setup changed and I have less access to that XSX but more access really to all my other stuff.
XSX got the focus in the past lately due to GP and quick resume helped. But I felt like I was neglecting too many other consoles and games I had purchased.

I only got 2 games down this year myself so far and am currently working on chipping away at these:

Gotham Knights
Mario+Rabbids Sparks of Hope
Sonic Frontiers

It's a slow churn. If only I had as much time as I did back in like 2020-2021 I would be almost at 10 games down within the first month of a new year.

#6 down: Marvel’s Midnight Suns on PS5. I would like to count this toward the Days Gone By badge. It took me 103 hours to finish everything. Proof here:

https://imgur.com/a/...

This was a fun one. Turn-based tactical battling with card mechanics, a huge script with tons of dialogue and interactions between characters, opportunities to go dark or light based on how you respond to teammates and how you fight, and much more. I had a lot of fun tweaking decks and building new strategies. There’s a lot to do but also constant rewards (new cards, new stats, new costumes and variations on those costumes, decorations and furniture for your room, etc.). It lived up to my high expectations.

Minor gripes: Some of the dialogue is pretty cringy, as it’s a superhero game. Also, this game looks great, but some of the character models are weird. Tony Stark has this oddly smooth face that looks plasticy like a Ken doll.
