Board 8 > Post Each Time You Beat a Game - 2017 Edition

(+) Yeah! (+)

On the final boss of what is by far the worst game I've ever played to completion. Any takers?

(warning: it's a doozy... a pretty well-liked game, especially amongst fans of its series)

Waited some extra time to see if anyone wanted to guess but here it is....

Kirby's Dream Land 2

Ugh. I usually love Kirby but for the first time ever I can truly say... Kirby es dum.

King's Quest (2015) PC

The last couple chapters are kinda emotional. Enjoyed that game quite a bit, even if I had to play the first three chapters twice due to losing the save.

Kirby's Dream Land 2

I was expecting a more famous, universally loved game. That being said, Kirby Dream Land 2 might be my third favorite Kirby game, so I'm a little surprised at this being the game.

DOOM (PC)

hell's pretty nice

Final fantasy XV (PS4)

That was a blast! Didn't expect to like it nearly this much. I think it's going to be my first platinum

Lifeline: Whiteout (iOS)

As all Lifeline games are, a very interesting experience

Shantae: Half-Genie Hero (Wii U)

Actually I had to beat the final boss three times. The first I didn't get 100% on purpose because I wanted to see the changes to the ending, then the second time I messed up because I didn't realize the dances you had to trade to get counted towards the 100% and had to go back and beat it a third time.

Super Mario World (3DS)

I wasn't expecting this to be the first game I finish in 2017. It was worth reminding myself why its a top 5 game of all time for me.

Lost Dimension (Vita)

Hmm... I could work my way through all the enemies in the level to get to a switch like the developers intended. Or I could use the dude with teleportation powers to skip through a door, teleport the rest of my team in, and kill the level's target before the enemies have so much as had a turn.

I love it when games have the potential creative strategies like that. This game was great

Batman: Arkham VR (PS4)

That was only like an hour and a half long but I guess it still counts. Not much of a game really

Ys Origin (PC)

On Nightmare this time.

Rhythm Heaven

Had this sitting around for a few years (I think I bought it during the "Chorus Kids for Smash 4" hype) and finally played it this weekend. Pleasantly surprised, but a few of those things were really stupidly anal about accuracy, particularly with the flicks. Remix 9 was a Goddamn fucking nightmare.

I totally did this at least once

Life is Strange for Xbox One

Decided to bite the bullet.

Chase: Cold Case Investigations - Distant Memories

That was a nice way to spend the late afternoon/early evening, but I do hope they continue the story with another chapter. Maybe have that kid join the two as like their computer person or whatever.

Mad Dex (iOS)

A Super Meat Boy clone, but a pretty good one

NiGHTS Into Dreams...

I honestly didn't know what to expect going in other than it was apparently deserving of being the 10-seed of all Generation 5 games in the original BGE bracket. For what it was it was a cute and fun little game and I'd recommend it. I'll also be playing the Wii sequel.

Grim Legends 2: Song of the Dark Swan (PC)

It wasn't as good as the first game, but still not the worst way to spend three hours

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (XBO)

Fun gameplay, but I was glad to be done with it near the end. Main story and main characters were pretty boring. Sidequests and side characters were pretty fun! Exploring Prague was fun, just unfortunate that I was less interested in doing it in the later versions of Prague because I couldn't be bothered checking all the apartments again just to see if anything had changed.

5 Days a Stranger (PC)

I played this with my brother back in the day but he was the one controlling it then. This time it was just me, and man I hadn't realized this was such an old-style puzzle/adventure game. It's still a neat concept and story but it was hard to control and most of the puzzles were so obtuse
---

Parasite Eve (Vita)

These old PS1 games are tough to play for the first time given how most of them have aged, but this was unique enough that I'm glad I did!

Chase: Cold Case Investigations - Distant Memories (3DS)

Fallout 4 (Xbox One)

This game was flat-out awesome, to say the least.
---

Thumper (PS4)

A really incredible game, feels amazing to play and I absolutely adored the horror elements, quite possibly the best thing I've played on PS4 so far.

Guess I've been slacking. I'm pretty sure the last game I beat was
Monument Valley (Android)

Watch Dogs 2 (PS4)
Decent game, underwhelming ending, still better than 1

6.5/10

Tadpole Treble (PC)
The best thing about it is the soundtrack, but it's very well-made all around.

Solitairica (Android)

Fun game, but the RNG can really fuck you over. Managed to get a really good string of good luck and beat the game.

Is that basically a solitaire RPG RayDyn?

More a solitaire rogue-lite

Wasn't that the game from the Brawl in the Family guy? Was he ever able to get permission to release on Wii U?
