"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 |

I beat Mario vs Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars yesterday. The game is... ok I guess? It's just more MvDK, the game lacks any personality of its own, and was not very satisfying to beat. The levels were not too difficult, I was able to get gold in all of the levels only replaying 4 or 5 after getting silver. The ending is baron of any excitement, just a still image of Mario and gang with Mario saying "Thank you for playing!".
Overall, if you like the gameplay of the MvDK series, you'll enjoy the levels, but that's all there is to it.
I also really like creating levels but Miiverse is shut down so you can't share them : (

@SupremeSarna Thanks for taking this over! Can you remove MAME from my system list?
My goal last year was to beat 20 games. I met that goal by beating 21 games. This year, I dropped it to 15 because I'm sure I'll be spending a lot of time on Tears of the Kingdom, I'm working through Pokemon Scarlet right now which is taking a while, AND I'm trying to to fit in Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword before TotK, which will take me a while. So I don't think I'll be beating as many games this year.

Got you guys.
Last night I beat Xenoblade Chronicles 3 . Took 105 hours since July, but now it's finally done. Proof:
[imgt w=1280 h=720]https://pbs.twimg.co...[/imgt]
It's a gargantuan RPG that does the series proud, though I liked it a little less than 1 and 2. The cast is likeable and the combat is more digestable than the others. They weren't kidding when they said the theme of the game was life: They explore just about every facet of it, including mortality, what waits after death, fighting to live vs. living to fight, the creation of life (origin), the creation of life (reproduction), what it means to live a good life, nihilism and its rejection, free will and choice, and even more that's spoiler-ish. They did an excellent job following this theme and making an emotionally-captivating experience. Though I was very confused by the end of it.
The music disappointed me, though. Nothing in it is on par with Torigoth (Day) or Gaur Plain from the previous two games (go look those up--they're phenomenal!), and when you're exploring vast landscapes, that can seriously impact the journey. The best I can recall was some neat panpipes in the Fornis Region, which sets a nice atmosphere for the desert but isn't toe-tapping or incredible.
I can tell Monolithsoft learned their mistake from XC2, because the characters and their dialogue/interactions aren't gratuitously fanservicey in this one. It's thankfully more in-line with XC1, just telling a great story and offering a small handful of appealing outfits if you want to play that way. What I'm trying to say is you never wake up to discover an embarrassed, busty woman sleeping next to you, and XC3 is better for it.
That said, I wasn't hit as hard by the characters. They're less relateable since their world operates differently from ours and they only learn about regular human things around the midpoint. I can't spoil the resolution here, but XC2's end hit me harder, and XC1 was mindblowing to high school me altogether. Doesn't help that the final boss of XC3 has five phases, and losing to any of them sends you back to the title screen. That dragged the last two hours down a little.
I was more amused to hear Nia's voice again and see that group photo than I was the see Melia again. Sure she has that techno Monado hanging on her wall, but that's less exciting than learning the fates of 10 fan-favorite characters. It's only been two years since Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition, anyway. And yes, I was taken aback by the Rex thing, too.
Great game, highly recommend! Hope the next one they make is fantastic as well, and has sharper music.

3 days in and I got my first clear... and I played it all in '23
Uncharted Drake's Fortune
via The Nathan Drake Collection
Assuming this goes towards Hyrulian Hero
85% of this game was pretty enjoyable, but the upstream Jet-ski section, the Roman Numerals section and the finale all sort of sucked. The SAS shotgun was way too slow firing for the next to final section. Also I greatly dislike when a game provides you with an NPC to go with you and they follow you around and STOP right in your dang way and won't move - so glad that trait largely went away as devs realized how frustrating that can be since Elena got in my way, including my line of fire sometimes.
I can see the groundwork laid here for what clearly was a top selling and liked series that I'm looking to possibly get the whole way through this year (likely minus the handheld only spinoff).

Finished up my first two clears of the year tonight:
1) High On Life on Xbox Series X (via Game Pass)- I would like to count this toward the 2nd Amendment badge, as it is a first-person shooter.
The gameplay is fine. The shooting gets a little repetitive, but the environments are interesting, and the different guns have neat mechanics. However the real star here are the story and the dialogue. It's profane and over the top, but it's also hilarious and creative. There were a ton of amusing moments (like the commercial with Mothers Against Violence followed by another commercial for Mothers For Violence). I'm not sure I would have thought to play this if it weren't for Game Pass, but I'm glad I did. This was a really fun one.
2) Inscryption on PC (via Epic)- I would like to count this toward the Grown-A** Man badge, as it is a difficult roguelite.
I got this on a sale for just over $5, and it was well worth it. This game is wild. I don't want to spoil anything, but the story takes you for a ride. It's dark and multi-faceted and messes with the line between the game and reality in inventive ways. I'm being deliberately vague, because this is one that really should be experienced without spoilers.

Games #3 and #4 down for my first badge of the year (Localize Mother 3):
-Master Takahashi's Adventure Island IV (Nintendo Famicom, emulated on PC)
-Jesus: The Terrifying Bio-Monster (Nintendo Famicom, emulated on PC)
I’ll be honest. When I saw this new badge, I almost gave up on badges altogether. I had no idea how I was going to find and beat two Japanese games that had not been officially localized outside of Japan. I don’t know any Japanese, and I’ve never played a Japanese game that wasn’t localized here before. The whole thing seemed daunting. That being said, it wasn’t as tough as I had expected thanks to fan translations. Adventure Island IV doesn’t really require that much translation anyway, but Jesus: The Terrifying Bio-Monster is a walking sim with tons of dialogue, so the fan translation was absolute necessary. Adventure Island was what you would expect— a tough platformer. It was OK but not really my jam. Jesus: The Terrifying Bio-Monster is an odd detectiveish game where you try to figure out what the deal is with a monster on your spaceship. The story was sort of interesting, although it drags a bit. I definitely wouldn’t have played either of these games if not for this thread, so here’s to new experiences!
I’m about to fire up a game I’ve been waiting to play for too long. I finally cancelled my preorder that got delayed all the way to Jan.18th thanks to Target being the worst and picked up Marvel’s Midnight Suns from GameStop on sale (which got it to me today—2 days after ordered it.)

Adventure Island IV doesn’t really require that much translation anyway, but Jesus: The Terrifying Bio-Monster is a walking sim with tons of dialogue, so the fan translation was absolute necessary. Adventure Island was what you would expect— a tough platformer. It was OK but not really my jam. Jesus: The Terrifying Bio-Monster is an odd detectiveish game where you try to figure out what the deal is with a monster on your spaceship. The story was sort of interesting, although it drags a bit. I definitely wouldn’t have played either of these games if not for this thread, so here’s to new experiences!
I’m about to fire up a game I’ve been waiting to play for too long. I finally cancelled my preorder that got delayed all the way to Jan.18th thanks to Target being the worst and picked up Marvel’s Midnight Suns from GameStop on sale (which got it to me today—2 days after ordered it.)

Our first badge of the year, only 4 days in! Well done. I'm surprised Localize Mother 3 was the the most daunting to you. Days Gone By is by far the most intensive, though playing DLC campaigns and lumping them all together can work to reach that 100-hour mark.
Would you like this counted as a PC clear or a Famicom clear?

Thanks! I guess Famicom clears if you don’t mind either way, as I already had a PC one with Inscryption. That Days Gone By one is legit, but I’ve been playing Breath of the Wild, and that should easily go over 100 hours by the time I finish it, and I have several other long games in my backlog or preordered that I’ve been meaning to get to eventually anyway. It’s a lot, but I think it’ll happen. 100%ing Diablo IV might end up being my other one if it doesn’t get delayed. .
