toxicitizen Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 All this talk about Revengeance and Platinum Games made me remember I still haven't played this. It's been 20 bucks for long enough that I don't think it's going to go down any more than that, so yeah, time to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Damn. I never finished that one. I need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Holy crap, I totally posted this in the wrong thread. I didn't beat it, I just ordered it from amazon lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luftwaffles Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Saints Row: The Third And holy shit it's good. The missions at the beginning are pretty underwhelming, but then it really picks up at the end, and some of the unlocks and upgrades turn it into pretty much Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas with all of the non-gamebreaking cheats turned on. I'd rather not spoil some of the missions, as they really are fantastic, making you go "They're not going to do that, are they!?", but then they do, with zombies and VTOL jets and Burt Reynolds. Dialog can be a bit cheesy at times, and I'm tired of the trend where NPCs yell something like "Good job" whenever you kill someone, but all in all it's not to be missed. It's really fantastic if you like open world games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorgiShinobi Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword I have to say, while Ghirahim was a punk the first two times, he was a breeze in the final encounter. More discussion in the proper thread, but I would have to say the only thing I didn't do was go after the Hylian Shield. Serious, you get the opportunity to obtain it nearly at the end. I got the Piece of Heart, but didn't want to bother with eight bosses again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Puzzle Agent. For a Professor Layton rip-off, it's surprisingly underwhelming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADIRTYWINDOW Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 Puzzle Agent. For a Professor Layton rip-off, it's surprisingly underwhelming. I would have to agree with you on that.I have been playing that game on and off for a while and it just can't catch my interest. Just beat Alice: Madness Returns and while the platforming is nothing to write home about, it is still a very beautiful game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excel_excel Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Finished Super Mario 3D Land, great fun, and now I've unlocked all the other 8 worlds.....ahhh feels good unlocking so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Little Big Planet 2 and Cave Story+. Cave Story+ was a neat adventure. It helped that I didn't expect much from it, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 I keep contemplating picking up Cave Story 3D but I think I'll save myself 30 dollars and get it via DSi Ware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) Vanquish. For real this time. Fairly short (took me a little over 5 hours), but holy shit, what an amazing game. One of the best games I've played this year, actually. And it came out last year. I waited for a price drop because I knew it was short, but now that I've played it, I would've been fine with paying more than the 20 bucks it cost me. I had heard the game was hard, but I found it more challenging than hard, if that makes any sense. I'll definitely be replaying this one on hard soon. Not right away, though. Got a few other games to play first. Edited December 19, 2011 by FLD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Sonic Generations. Overall, it is a pretty enjoyable game. It definitely has some frustrating lows, but the fantastic highs outweigh those. It's just a shame it has terrible framerate drops on my PC, regardless of graphics settings. Chemical Plant Zone is almost unplayable and Crisis City has some really bad design worsened by these (which also occur at critical moments on a few other levels). Gameplay-wise, it definitely takes some getting used to, particularly how modern Sonic controls (for someone new to 3D Sonic, like me, anyway), but is a lot of fun once you get the hang of it. The bonus challenges are a great way to practise with some of the mechanics (except for the odd crap ones) as well as introducing some new elements, and I've found myself pushing for S ratings on all the levels now.

TCP Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 I completed the main quest to Skyrim. Does that count as "beating it"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Sites like Backloggery make a distinction between 'beating' and 'completing' so, sure, why not? Well done, dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Sonic CD. Second time beating it, but first time beating this version of it. Awesome game. I just ran through it though, I didnt do any of the time travel stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Hmm, seems I forgot to post about it, but I beat the Metal Gear Solid series (as in 1 through 4) a couple of weeks ago. I'd already played all of them, but MGS 2 and 3 were the new HD versions and it was the first time I played all four in a row. Still working on Peace Walker, though. Haven't really touched the PS3 since the Steam sale began. And while on the subject, I've already finished one of my new purchases: Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. Pretty sure it's the first time I actually finish a game bought during a Steam sale before the sale ends. I don't play tabletop miniature games but I absolutely love the 40K universe, so I enjoyed this one quite a bit. It gets kind of repetitive before long, the combat system is rather shallow and the game can be a bit frustrating at times but I still had a blast playing it. That being said, I think there is a lot of room for improvement. I would love to see them improve and expand on the formula in a sequel and maybe come up with a story that includes more of the lore rather than just limiting itself to the humans, orks and chaos.

peteer01 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Do we have this for 2012? I plan on beating some games in the not too distant future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxicitizen Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I actually got a cool idea from reddit about this. I'll keep a list of the games I complete in 2012, in a .txt file or something. Should be interesting to see how much it grows and how fast. I'd be curious to know how many I completed in 2011, but I really don't feel like going back through every single page of this thread... The guy who thought of it found that it quickly became a strong motivator to complete more games as he found himself wanting to keep adding to the list. Should at the very least be a fun little experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I need to update it some but: http://dl.dropbox.co...nts/Backlog.txt Actually you can tell its not been updated for a while cos I now own both games in the "to buy" and one of the 360 games I now own on PC (and will potentially be my first game to beat of 2012) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
