13. Beat a JRPG

Saga Frontier

Hey look, another RPG with the initials SF that I've already beaten several times. Sigificantly more than half a dozen in this case... actually maybe a full dozen. It helps that it's a very quick playthrough for a JRPG (this one took me about seven hours). Played through Blue's scenario, this time. I forgot about the "ending" of Blue's story. You know how the Sopranos ended? It was pretty much that. I love this game, but god was it rushed.

Was playing it with a friend for a while, but then they weren't available to play for months after that. Eventually said fuck it and made a separate save file to finish it solo.

Welp, forgot to add to this for a while, so here's a megaupdate!

5. Beat a game released in 2018
Return of the Obra Dinn

7. Beat a game in a series you've already played some of
Rusty Lake Paradise

11. Beat a game made by a developer you like
CHUCHEL

14. Beat a JRPG
Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth

15. Beat a puzzle game
Pixel Puzzle Collection

25. Beat a game with horror as a central theme
Rusty Lake: Roots

41. Beat a game with a Metascore below 70 (score is 65 currently)
Rusty Lake Hotel

(For the Rusty Lake/Cube Escape series, I'm counting the games that are on Steam with a price tag but not the ones that are free browser gamesit wouldn't feel fair to count them all with how many there are! Still need to get around to playing/watching Paradox, though...)

Should get me to 18/50, if I'm counting right.

We've only got a few weeks left in the year. We had some solid participation in 2018, and several people finished their lists! For the first time since this started, I was not among them. Someday I hope to cycle back to video games, I've just been too busy with other hobbies.

I did want to ask, would people here prefer someone else being in charge of this in 2019? I feel kind of silly worrying about it since this isn't the sort of thing that really has a 'host' (I certainly never felt like it was my place to police lists, for example, and I always tried to only change challenges when there was a clear consensus) but I worry people were bothered that the topics were being made by someone who barely participated. There isn't a whole lot to it aside from making the topic, especially if you use the bump-bot command, so I don't mind being in charge again. Just let me know if someone else feels they would be more active and wants the responsibility!

There's also the question of if we should change any of the challenges for 2019. I remember at the beginning of the year a few people mentioned wanting more challenges that had to do with the content of the game (like the central theme ones) and less, for lack of a better term, stat-based ones. Well, now is the time to share preferences and ideas!

No, you should keep hosting as long as you want to.

22. Beat a fighting game

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

World of Light mode. That was a lot longer than I was expecting. It got a little repetitive, but it's Smash. I could probably play it forever and not get bored. Ended up with ~90% completion. Only need to find Richter to have all the characters unlocked in it.

@TheArkOfTurus

Noticed looking over lists that you put your Smash Ultimate in my list. As much as I would love that to be true (and that I could play Smash and had a Switch and ohmagerdiwantitsobad), I moved it to your 11. Beat a game by a developer you like. Feel free to move it about (or send me your copy of Switch and Smash so I can beat, kthx ^_^)

You should definitely keep hosting it next year, @Robazoid. If not for you we wouldn't really have this to begin with, and you've done a great job of making sure things have run smoothly even if you've slowly fallen out of playing too many games.

In terms of new categories, I don't have much input. There are categories that I dislike, but that's less because I think they're objectively not good and more because they involve genres/things that I personally dislike.

Speaking of not completing a list, it looks like I'm going to fall just short this year. A combination of being very busy over the last month or so and playing very long games such as RDR 2 has made me unable to complete the 50 on time. I'll probably add a few more in the next week though as I play some shorter games to finish the year.

46. Beat a game that features historical events or people

Red Dead Redemption 2

I'm one of those story over gameplay people, as long as the gameplay itself is still pretty good, which is why this is almost definitely my GOTY, barring God Of War, which I've yet to start, somehow beating it out.

There were parts of the gameplay that I found annoying, but they were almost strictly a quality of life thing and nothing that actively impacted my enjoyment. The story was some of the best that I can remember in a game, and the final chapter along with some of the callbacks to the first game had me almost shedding a few tears.

Gaming is the only medium where I ever even come close to crying. I haven't yet, but I've been on the verge of tears a few times, including here.

Moved:

Jak 2 to 19. Beat a platformer

Super Mario Odyssey to 10. Beat a game made by a director/composer/artist/etc that you like

Adding:

9. Beat a remake or enhanced port

Spyro The Dragon (PS4)

The Spyro games are some of my favourite platformers, and this was a very faithful remake to the original, so it successfully scratched the nostalgia itch. Spyro 2 is a top 10 game for me so I'm excited to get to that one.

My eyes keep staring at the 3(shut the fuck up, guys) pack of mzero/pj/tange.

honestly part of me wants PJ to be scum because he did this last game and it didnt help any.

Also someone mentioned why I was sure there were scum in the inactives and its simple numbers(I thought I replied but I was playing FighterZ and I think I may have not). Unless the scumteam is crescent/ben/han/panth exactly, there has to be scum in that list.
