We made it through 2020, and for the first month of the year it looks like we get some extra time to sort through games we haven't finished yet, and take screenshots of glitchy T-Pose characters in Cyberpunk 2020. There is nothing on here that I want personally, but February is going to loving hurt for game releases.

Gamer Resolution: Recognize the value of games I played. I may never play 3 Houses again despite paying for the overpriced DLC, but I still got $0.29/hr out of an $85 purchase and that's a great value.

It's still 2020 here I'm just posting in this thread to feed the fantasy of the hellyear being over with already. 2021 is gonna be a backlog year for me. I have a pile of point and click adventures, indie games, and other small experiences for a fun variety of experiences. And also, um, Witcher 3. But GENERALLY I want to get away from the cycle of titanic rpgs that dominated 2020 for me.

My first gamer goal of the new year is to get top 100 in the ocarina of time rando tournament qualifiers, this qualifying for the runner up tournament and getting something exciting to scrub out of instantly After the tournament I'm gonna finally go through the effort to homebrew my wii and get set up to play on that, instead of trying to play an N64 game with a dualshock controller on emulator lol. Thinking of trying out proper oot speedruns for a bit while I adjust, so I can get used to the controller without being mad at how badly I suck during the transition, since I'll be sucking for so many reasons other than the controller at first

I only beat Hades once and it was before the game was done but also the last major content patch before release AFAIK. Should I ever beat it again? Having already done so once mostly through an extremely lucky build and easy weapon, I feel I have mastered the game to a tremendous degree, far beyond that of any mortal gamer but I was hoping for some closure or an ending cinematic instead of the placeholder my incredible true and final victory earned me.

There's a lot more story in the finished version. You get more story each time you clear, and after your 10th clear there's a big plot resolution and the credits roll, but there's some postgame story as well.

alright FINE whatever. since i'm unlikely to finish mega man x3 or hades today, here's the tentative early access list of everything i finished this year, in chronological order (bold means goty top ten). please feel free to keep scrolling Donkey Kong Country (GBA) -- i've played the heck out of this trilogy and felt like playing them again, so why not mix things up and play the gba versions?? they're serviceable ports with some truly awful new graphics Donkey Kong Country 2 (GBA) Mega Man Battle Network 3: Blue (GBA) Mega Man Battle Network (GBA) -- this was the only battle network game i played as a kid, and i never finished because a lategame quest requires you to get a lot of cards and i was young and bad at the battle system Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Gamecube) -- jk rowling loving sucks but the gamecube/ps2 and gbc harry potter games are pretty fun Mega Man Battle Network 2 (GBA) Sonic the Hedgehog 3: and Knuckles (Genesis) [replay] Sonic Adventure DX (Gamecube) -- only ever played the dreamcast version, and this one seems...worse somehow? the graphics are a bit off and there were collision problems i don't remember from the original Pokemon Sword (switch) -- wooloo was my starter Nier Automata (PS4) [replay] Sonic the Hedgehog (Game Gear) -- shockingly good! Fire Emblem: Three Houses (switch) [Black Eagles route] -- as much as i want to see other routes, this is a tough game to replay Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (game gear) -- shockingly bad!! the sonic game gear games run the gamut from surprisingly good to worst in series Sonic Blast (game gear) -- hideous graphics but otherwise fun Sonic Chaos (game gear) Sonic Triple Trouble (game gear) Donkey Kong Country 3 (GBA) -- while the graphics as true to the original as the gba can get, for some reason this one got an entirely new (and largely ill-fitting) soundtrack Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Switch) Yoshi's Crafted World (Switch) -- not being able to move while firing eggs is disappointing, but this is a gorgeous and creative game otherwise Pokemon Colosseum (Gamecube) -- gimme another doubles-focused game Halo (PC) -- i don't like shooters in general and this did absolutely nothing to change that Awful Emblem Act 1 demo (GBA rom hack) -- extremely good rom hack here Final Fantasy 7 Remake (PS4) Joe and Mac 2 (SNES) -- never finished this as a child, even in co-op, because of the dang final boss. thank you snesflix for letting me easily practice until he was a breeze Outer Wilds (PS4) The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD (Wii U) -- i didn't like this on the wii but wanted to give it another shot with better controls. there's a lot of cool elements at work here but it's still pretty meh overall Fire Emblem: The Road to Ruin (GBA rom hack) -- less good rom hack but still enjoyable with some fun mechanical twists Abzu (PS4) Halo 2 (PC) -- definitely like the arbiter waaay more than master chief Gato Roboto (Switch) -- cute but nothing remarkable Wishing Sarah (PC) Bomberman Jetters (Gamecube) -- a disappointing end to a subseries of games i'm quite fond of Far From Noise (PC) Ring Ring (PC) Water's Fine (PC) -- the highlight of what few itch bundle games i played Nonsense at Nightfall (PC) Halo Reach (PC) -- the least bad halo, imo. the final mission is really cool Trials of Mana (Switch) -- never played the original but this is a delightful modernization of a snes game that is still able to feel like a snes game (in a good way!) Sonic Adventure 2: Battle (gamecube) [replay] Metal Gear Solid 5: Phantom Pain (PS4) [true end] -- i am not ashamed of my words and deeds Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (PS4) -- a kickstarter success story Spyro the Dragon (PS4) -- i played a bit of the original but never got past the second world. this is a solid start to a beloved series Sonic Heroes (Gamecube) [replay] -- TEAM CHAOTIX THEY'RE DETECTIVES Sonic Advance (gba) [replay] Spyro the Dragon 2 (PS4) -- this on the other hand is a sharp swerve into a bunch of 3d platformer/collectathon staples that i don't feel really brought anything good to the table Terraria [Master mode] (PC) -- heard they nerfed the flying pirate ship and that's hosed Tokyo Xanadu eX+ (PS4) Sonic Advance 2 (GBA) Super Mario Bros. (SNES) -- despite several attempts i never actually sat down and finished this until now. and it's good! simple but good Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm (Switch) -- my gf and i have a pact to (very slowly) watch all of naruto. the ultimate ninja storm games are a fun way to mix things up Spyro the Dragon 3 (PS4) -- much better than 2, though i still prefer the simplicity and whimsy of 1 Super Mario Bros. 3 (SNES) -- same story as the first. this game is remarkable and still holds up Sonic Battle (GBA) -- this game has some significant flaws but on the whole is pretty cool Super Mario World (SNES) [replay] SMW - Peach's Adventure demo (SNES rom hack) -- an excellent rom hack SMW - Captain Barry's Treasure (SNES rom hack) SMW - Kola Kingdom Quest (SNES rom hack) Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia (3DS) -- i respect the adherence to some of the worst maps in the series, and it's a testament to how good every other element of this game is that it's still great despite those silly maps SMW - Luigi and the Island of Mystery (SNES rom hack) Sonic Advance 3 (GBA) SMW - A Halloween Walk (SNES rom hack) SMW - Halloween in the Mushroom Kingdom (SNES rom hack) SMW - Il Maniero Spettrale (SNES rom hack) -- most of the halloween hacks i played were pretty banal but this one owns SMW - Shrine of Eternal Ice (SNES rom hack) SMW - Mario Wakes Up (SNES rom hack) Doom [2016] (PS4) -- while much more fun to play than halo, i still wasn't super into this Luigi's Mansion 3 (Switch) -- it's good SMW - Other World (SNES rom hack) Kirby's Halloween Adventure (NES rom hack) SMW - Adventure demo (SNES rom hack) -- unfortunately most of the best rom hacks i played this year are just demos Prey (PS4) -- the first half was fantastic, second half was a steady decrescendo Firewatch (Switch) -- awful characters, lovely environment. shoutout to the bizarre and well hidden banjo kazooie minigames in the free roam mode Resident Evil 2 Remake (PS4) -- the police station is an incredible game area, i just wish there were more significant differences between the two protagonists Echo Night (PS1) -- from makes a game about helping ghosts by diving into memories, and though it plays as clunkily as all of their old stuff, it's still good Shadow the Hedgehog (Gamecube) -- there's some alright game here buried under some questionable decisions Paper Mario: The Origami King (Switch) Paper Mario: Color Splash (Wii U) -- high off of origami king, i decided to revisit this after getting fed up with it years ago. it's still unenjoyable to play Sonic Rush (DS) -- this game's level design isn't very good but blaze the cat owns Halo 3 (PC) -- aka halo 2 part 2. meh 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim (PS4) Halo 3: ODST (PC) -- i really dig the moody city and the idea of finding clues about your squadmates, but said squad turned out to be incredibly unlikable! The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Switch) -- an adorable revitalization of one of my old favorites Sonic Rivals (PSP) Yakuza Kiwami (PS4) -- very disappointing after 0, but i hear kiwami 2 is quite good Sonic and the Secret Rings (Wii) -- MAKE BELIEVES REBORN Mega Man X (SNES) -- a posting pal started playing these and i like the zero games, so i figured why not. the dash upgrade potentially being one of the last things you find is terrible, but otherwise this is a good time Mega Man X2 (SNES) -- shoutout to zero's head sitting in my inventory, forever tldr, working from home means lots of time for games

MMF Freeway posted:Are the cheeves the same as in the original ie do you still have to get lucky with a bladestone drop? I got plat on ps3 and I only went for it because I happened to get a bladestone without trying The trophies are different from the original and you no longer have to do the "upgrade a weapon to max in each upgrade path" thing. But then Bluepoint still made it so you need Pure Bladestone because they are full of hate and loathe humanity. Now there's a "get all the rings" trophy and to get one of the new rings added in the remake you have to trade Pure Bladestone with Sparkly the Crow  They did apparently fix an issue that caused Pure Bladestone to have an even lower than intended drop rate in the original but it still took me like two hours of farming to get one.
