Unfortunately, I don't think beating Trails of Cold Steel a second time months later counts as another game beaten ^_^;;; You could use it if you want, the rules state that a single playthrough can only be used for one challenge, but multiple playthroughs are fine! --- **R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** ...

Fire Emblem: Three Houses Edelgard route. Will probably start a new game plus as Golden Deer, if only because I ended up using almost as many Blue Lions on my team as Black Eagles.

10. Beat a game made by a director/composer/artist/etc that you like
Final Fantasy 4 (randomizer) The Free Enterprise version, specifically. I ended up restarting this after a few hours, because I had somehow managed to get a party with almost every final weapon, and three adamant armors, and it was starting to feel more like a game genie run than anything else. I tweaked some of the settings, and ended up with a more reasonable run. Still ended up playing a generic party (Cecil, Rydia, Edge, Rosa, and... Cecil again.) It was a pretty quick playthrough, so I think I'm going to play one more time, with the final party excluded, a few harder settings, and Edward as the main character because I am silly. 46/50 One last bit of juggling. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild to username, Celeste to 90+ Metacritic, and Rondo of Blood to platformer. --- Our eyes were removed For our own safety ... Copied to Clipboard!

Moved 44. Arkham City to 42. Beat a game with a Metascore above 90
44. Beat a game based on licensed stories/characters X-Men (1992 Arcade 6-Player) 11. Beat a game made by a developer you like 428 Shibuya Scramble - X-Men is the magnificent follow-up to the amazing Pryde of the X-Men that never got made, with a good cast of characters for a fun action beat-em-up. I spent lots of quarters on this game as a kid and between this game, Alpha Flight #75, and X-Men #1 issue E (with all four inserts including - https://marswillsendnomore.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/comicnut038.jpg), I knew a lot of X-Men that weren't on the show and had a fascination for characters I'd never actually read until X-Men #80 and UXM #260 when Nightcrawler, Kitty Pryde, and Colossus rejoined the teams from Excalibur. Nightcrawler, easily my favorite character in this game for his awesome jump attacks, his hilarious stomping animation to downed sentinels, and the best Mutant Power in the game, was one of my favorite characters in all of comic-dom despite never reading a single issue featuring him in it until I was almost a teenager. But anyways, X-Men. The one where Magneto welcomes you to die, nothing moves the Blob, and Winners Don't Do Drugs. Still fun, still a massively difficult quartersink, but thankfully the game was rigged for freeplays, and sadly two of characters were busted: Colossus could do nothing but move and jump (and constantly respawn forever), and Storm's move stick was busted and she'd walk left almost always. Played with a Cyclops friend, then a Dazzler/Nightcrawler friend as I hopped between Nightcrawler and Wolverine for feels (then Cyclops when first friend left in the final level). Still fun, still love Pryde of the X-Men in all its weird glory. Fun times. As for 428 Shibuya Scramble... my god. My god what a game. So much emotion. Dels has a playthrough topic I participated in currently up, and it was worth the interaction. Part visual novel, part unique puzzle, all amazing. Live-action photos and cutscenes, great music and characters, a truly involved story and mystery, and some high-tension moments. A lot of great drama, some even greater comedy... Definitely in my top five games of the year. Thank you to Arti for the recommendation; would've completely bypassed the sale if it weren't for you, and later Dels. HIGHLY RECOMMEND 428 SHIBUYA SCRAMBLE! --- "In my headcanon, some staffer saw Trump pull out his phone and start typing so they just Terry Tate Office Linebacker'd him out of his shoes." - FFD ...

It's a shame too, because while I wasn't a big fan of the first. It did do something really interesting with both its gameplay and story. Here it turns into a really generic FPS with an overly corny plot.

Sonic the Hedgehog The GameGear version! I guess it was kinda impressive what they could do on a handheld, but Sonic felt too slippery and I don't like the idea of SONIC IS FAST but it's a platformer so you gotta time your jumps... Also hedgehogs are obviously real but if you guys feel like Sonic doesn't count as a real hedgehog I'll move him to fictional animal species. --- How paralyzingly dull, boring and tedious! ...

34. Beat a game with an animal lead
Tokyo Jungle First place my mind went for an animal game to beat. I think this was the second PS3 game I ever bought, and I hadn't played it since then. Still enjoyable, although story mode was never the main draw for me (for all that I appreciate how insane the plot ends up being.) That leaves <1990 game, and sports game for me to fill out before I move things into the series category. KCF was nice enough to pick the former for me with Game of the Month, but I'm not sure what to do for sports game. 47/50 --- Our eyes were removed For our own safety ... Copied to Clipboard!

KCF0107 08/30/19 6:08:00 PM #425: |
I like a lot of traditional sports games (I own plenty of baseball, football, and golf games). You can probably pick up a bunch of older titles for $5 or so on Ebay. If you aren't a fan of sports, some off-beat games in the genre include Rocket League (has a seasonal mode), Mutant Football League, Golf Story, and Pyre.
I can vouch for all except Pyre, which I own but haven't played. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy https://imgur.com/VfpY7tg ... Copied to Clipboard!

TheArkOfTurus 08/30/19 7:43:47 PM #426: |
Thanks for the suggestions! Pyre's what I put there last year. I played some of Golf Story, but fell off it. I completely forgot that they made a new Mutant League game, maybe I'll look into that. Rocket League never interested me that much.
I own a bunch of old sports games if I want to go that route. Was considering a season of Tecmo Super Bowl 3. --- Our eyes were removed For our own safety ... Copied to Clipboard!

KCF0107 08/30/19 7:52:37 PM #427: |
I don't know how I forgot this one, but there's also 100ft Robot Golf. It's from the makers of Roundabout, and your skill/success is irrelevant. You will beat the game regardless of your play. That's probably why the golfing isn't very good, but it''s very silly and funny.

Tomb Raider (2013) Wow, this game was outstanding. Had I known it ends up being a mix of Uncharted and the Arkham games I would've gotten around to beating it much sooner. --- My Quest to beat the Final Fantasies: I II IV V VI VII VIII IX X XII XIII XIV XV ... Copied to Clipboard!

23. Beat a sports game
Greatest Heavyweights Somehow KCF's suggestion of older games, and Tangy's suggestion of Punch-Out turned into this. I actually liked this game a lot as a kid, but I don't think I've played it in 20 or so years. Is it good? Not really, but I found myself still having a good time anyway. It's basically a really simple 2D fighter. The difficulty curve is odd, when you get near the halfway point of career mode, the AI seems to start cheating, throwing punches significantly faster than you can regardless of stats. I can accept that from Muhammad Ali, but not so much coming from random generic 10th ranked boxer. It's really easy if you happen to be fighting one of the short boxers, though, since they always seem to charge in with their head and gloves lowered at all times. Not entirely sure how Rocky Marciano went undefeated doing that. I did appreciate that most boxers did have their own tendencies and styles, even with a really limited moveset, and even with generics. It was also kind of nice that the ranks weren't static, with AI characters rising and falling regardless of what you do. Helped give things a bit more character. Being able to create a fighter in a game this old was pretty nice, too. Giant bald green boxer is the best boxer. 48/50 --- Our eyes were removed For our own safety ... Copied to Clipboard!

7. Beat a game in a series you've already played some of
Trails of Cold Steel II What It Is: Blues Brothers the Trails Game. We gotta get the band back together! - The Epilogue definitely made things a lot of fun, as it had become a bit of a slog in the final few chapters. I would regularly stop playing after an hour or two because I would need a nap. It just hit me with roteness. Don't get me wrong, this was still an excellent game and a great continuation of the Trails series, but it definitely felt the most paint-by-numbers of the games, and how Class VII always seemed to get bailed out was just repetitive ( Ranking the Trails games I've played SC > FC > CS > 3rd > CS2 75% RANKINGS!

TV play is just a disaster and while plotwise I enjoyed the bonus story, hot damn did they make it frustrating for no reason.

48. Beat a game starting with the first letter of your username
Moonlighter What It Is: Fairly decent shop/dungeon game. It doesn't have the depth of Recettear, and the dungeons are alright, but once you figure things out, there's not much more to it. You figure out the price of items, you sell them. You figure out how to beat up enemies, you take their goods, you buy weapon upgrades, you just walk through them. The beginning of the game is definitely the most difficult and most fun, but the final upgrades for me for everything came before even getting to the last floor of the fourth dungeon, so there was nothing to build towards except more money. And the story, imo, may no sense and I had no investment in that aspect. --- "In my headcanon, some staffer saw Trump pull out his phone and start typing so they just Terry Tate Office Linebacker'd him out of his shoes." - FFD ...

Don't have any beaten games on it yet, but I do have 47. Play a game that's technically unbeatable for at least six hours Ultra Fight Da ! Kyanta 2 I mean, I did beat arcade mode, but there's a story mode that's currently unfinished, so I guess I put it here. At first glance this game looks pretty shitty, but thankfully it's completely free. I ended up loving it. I think it's the best attempt at really simplifying a traditional fighting game's controls I've seen. It managed to sneak into AnimEVO recently, I can only hope it makes the main stage next year. 1/50 --- Our eyes were removed For our own safety ... Copied to Clipboard!
