25. Beat a game with horror as a central theme

The Uncle Who Works For Nintendo

I do not enjoy horror as a genre. I initially had a game planned for this but after starting it I realized that it wasn't really horror at all, so I did a google search of short horror games just to get this category out of the way.

I've actually played part of this game before and thought it was pretty cool. I hate the jump scares that usually come with the genre so a creepy visual novel was a great way to get away from that.

I decided to get all 6 endings because of how short it was, and after about an hour, managed to get through them all.

44. Beat a game based on licensed stories/characters

The Walking Dead: A New Frontier

A lot of people believe that this is essentially a filler story, and I generally agree with that statement. I found myself not really caring for any of the characters other than Javi, and obviously Clementine. The result was that every choice I made involved what benefited Clem the most.

There's still a bit of time until the end of the year, but would there be interest in continuing the Great Video Game Challenge into 2018?

If so, does anyone have any thoughts about changes to the challenges? Obviously 4 would become 'Beat a game released between 2010-2017' and 5 would become 'Beat a game released in 2018', but besides that? I was thinking challenge 47 could have a higher number of hours. Most of us seemed to beat that one in the first week of January so making it 'Play a game that can't technically be beaten for at least ten hours' would at least be more of an accomplishment.

36. Replay a game from a long time ago

Super Mario Bros. 3

It's been quite a few years since I sat down to actually play this all the way through, and figured this category was a good enough reason to do it. Maybe it's because I was playing on a 3DS, but I had a lot more trouble than I expected with the game. It might be that I'm just bad at old games.

I definitely have interest. I didn't think I'd get to 50 this year but it's looking like I'll comfortably reach the mark now. The challenge got me to play and enjoy some games I otherwise wouldn't have, so I'd say it's been a success.

Your change to 47 makes sense. I can't really think of any others that stand out as needing to be replaced.

35. Beat a game with a lead that's from a fictional species

Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance

I've played and enjoyed every game in this series except for 4, but never really delved into the huge grind that was the post-game. Coming into this one, my plan was to finally go through that grind and do all the extra stuff, until I realized that I just wasn't enjoying the game very much. Maybe it's because I played Fire Emblem for the first time since the last time I played a Disgaea game, but something about it was just was not fun. It sucks, because D2 is a great game and the original is one of my favourites. I might just be done with this series after this one.

Alright, that's enough interest for me! I don't mind making a spreadsheet and keeping the topic alive next year if no one else wants to. We have until the end of the year to discuss challenges too if anyone has any thoughts

Yes, we should discuss what challenges should be up for next year. I'm curious to see what is up for next year.

Postal. Eh, I can see why the Metascore is 56. The game is pretty short and repetitive.

14. Beat a JRPG

Final Fantasy XIII-2. Much better than FFXIII, but just an ok game. Happy that it's over.

36. Replay a game from a long time ago

Sonic the Hedgehog. Might be the game that I've finished the most times.

44/50. It feels like I'm running out of time, but thankfully the rest doesn't have to take that much time.
