12. Beat a game made by a developer you've never tried

Monogolf

Fun puzzle/golf game for mobile where you have to sink the ball in one shot to complete the level, and beat as many holes as you can with a certain amount of lives. You get points every time you beat a level which can be used for upgrades and extra starting lives, so every time you play you get a little farther. I'm going to count this as beaten because I finished all 100 levels and got a trophy for doing so. The game lets you continue playing but it's just the same 100 levels over again except it makes you take your shot quicker.

23/50

I'm also about 20 hours into Persona 5 and feel like I haven't made any progress. Having a great time though!

13. Beat a WRPG

Fallout 4

Bethesta one hell of a developer. Imagine that you are invited to a party, and at this party is every type of cake in existence, you start eating and you're overwhelmed by all the flavors you never even knew existed. You ask for some water, and suddenly everyone leaves the party and locks you in. Suddenly, something that gave you more pleasure than you've ever known is now your personal hell. This is what it's like to play a bethesta game. They over-deliver and under perform at the same time with such grace that it's hard to tell whether you're really enjoying the experience.

Fallout 4 is a great game, and the complaints I've seen about it "not being a real RPG" are provably dumb comments. However, the inconsistency of autosaves, the incredibly long loading times, the sheer amount of things that can instantly kill you from a distance, and the overall buggy nature of the game (I had to reload the game several times to even register that I beat it) make for what could be considered "A huge time stink"

That said, the world is awesome, settlements are awesome (though they could have been better), the companions are awesome (Curie was my main girl) And it made junk collecting really fun. If this game was just a smidge less buggy it would be my all time favorite fallout. As it is, I think I still prefer 3 to it.

26. Beat a game with revenge as a central theme

LONEWOLF

I've been looking for mobile games that are more story-based and have a defined endgame (if anyone has any recommendations, I'm all ears), and this game popped up on a bunch of lists when I searched for one. Pretty simple sniper game with a decent story behind it. I ended up paying the $2.50 to remove the ads and get unlimited energy, mostly because I feel like it was well made enough to deserve it.

I guess it depends on how much you enjoyed the prevoius ones? I think the combat is a huge improvement, since it's more varied and engaging. the writing's better too, but that's a given, considering how bad it is in the originals. It's definitely the best in the series to me by a large margin, but again, I was never a huge fan, just enjoyed them.

Devious Dungeon

Never heard of Ravenous Games but apparently they make mobile games and have just ported this one to Switch, PS4, and Vita. It's not that bad.

36. Replay a game from a long time ago


Machinarium

According to my PSN trophy list it's been over four years, but it may as well be longer because I barely remembered anything about this game as I replayed it on the PS4.

49. Choose a random page on TVTropes and beat something from the video game section

Persona 5

davidponte posted...
I hit random on TV Tropes a few times and got "Gambit Roulette". Persona 5 is on my backlog and it fits there so that's what I'm going with.


95 hours later, I beat the game and also got my 50th platinum trophy! The optimization required to 100% this game is pretty insane, so it was definitely one of my more challenging platinums, which was the goal for number 50.

As for the game itself: Fantastic. Definitely my favourite game of 2017, and a great experience for my first Persona game.

25/50

Halfway there!

I beat three games in the past week that I can't fit into any categories or move other stuff to another category. I pretty much have release year, genre, and 25+ hour games left to go, so I should probably come up with games I own that qualify and shoot for those.

Batman: The Enemy Within

Solid Telltale game. I enjoyed it a lot more than the first season, and thought the whole arc with John Doe was great stuff. I'm a little upset at the ending and the characterization of Alfred, even if this is an alternate universe Batman. Alfred would never abandon Bruce, so it felt kind of weak here.

43... I think that's significantly below 70. I didn't think it was that bad though I agree with the reviews that say the protagonist is dull. I've only gotten one ending so far and not the true ending so I'll be diving in again later.
