TheArkOfTurus 03/19/21 12:35:02 AM #158:	33. Beat a game with a robot/artificial lead Astro's Playroom I had heard people say good things about it, but I expected to bounce off it. I tend to be less enthusiastic about 3D platformers than a lot of people, and I figured it was getting extra credit because it was free. When I booted it up and saw it was going to focus on controller gimmicks, my optimism dropped further. Thankfully, I was wrong. I enjoyed it quite a bit, especially most of the controller gimmicks. I'd buy a full version of this... Well, if it didn't also have to buy a PSVR, anyway. 16/50 --- Our eyes were removed For our own safety <cite>TheArkOfTurus posted [p:951870391] in The Great ...

Shonen_Bat 03/28/21 9:22:44 AM #169:	30. Beat a game with a female lead Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King Fun little Zelda-style game, the storybook framing device was a nice touch but I wish more was done with it. I picked up Age of Calamity today. It seems alright. I think the best comparison I can make is going from Melee to Smash Ultimate. It's flashier and prettier and technically more advanced, but it doesn't feel as tight or satisfying to play as the older game. Hyrule Warriors also looked very crisp and defined while AoC looks like it got hit by a bloom tornado. It's not bad, but it was a lot easier to tell at a glance what I was looking at in the first game. All that said it's still good. One thing I can give it is that all the characters I've unlocked so far have been fun to play. I never felt like I was only playing as someone because I was forced to pick them. --- Hello again. <cite>Shonen_Bat posted [p:952202545] in The Great ... [t:79211850]...</cite> <quote>30.

HBJDubs 04/02/21 7:26:30 PM #176:	41. Beat a game with a Metascore above 90 Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes Of An Elusive Age (92). I really did not like this game. I won't list all the reasons as much of it probably falls into personal preference, but I will say the most egregious offense: the game is unbelievably slow. I've never played a game where the camera moves at a snail's pace even when set at max speed. Even the battles at max speed kind of drag. 12. Beat a game made by a developer you've never tried Cyber Shadow (Mechanical Head Studios). After the 230 hour slog from DQ11, this was a nice short refresher, clocking in at 6 hours.

BarbaricAvatar 04/18/21 8:14:41 PM #193:	32. Beat a game with a non-white lead Alien Breed: Assault It's open to interpretation but the MC's skin is considerably darker in-game than the publicity shots. It's never mentioned what his origin is so he could probably be whatever one wants. Except maybe female. I also seem to have forgotten to update my score at some point, because i've definitely done 21 (now), not the 19 i'd previously noted. 21/57 --- Habitual Judge <cite>BarbaricAvatar posted [p:952979731] in The Great ...

HBJDubs 04/19/21 8:38:19 PM #194:	14. Beat a JRPG Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age. I hated the original when it came out, and this was my first time going back to FF12. The story is still the major weak spot; after replaying several other games in the series recently it seemed to me that there were far fewer cutscenes compared to all the others. I still don't like the art design although the FMVs do look great. The soundtrack remains one of the weakest in the series (nothing is offensive, but nothing is really memorable either). However, the gameplay is where this really shines. I remembered liking the gambit system even back in the day, and I still do now. In fact, I liked the gameplay so much that I got the platinum for this game, which I can't say for any other Final Fantasy (mainly cause the others had at least one stupid trophy/achievement, or in FF9's case half of them are dumb). 19/50 --- Save in the name of true love ~Project 1000~ <cite>HBJDubs posted [p:953016286] in The Great ...

andylt 04/22/21 2:12:10 PM #199:	42. Beat another user's favorite game Crosscode- great stuff. 19. Beat a platformer New Super Lucky's Tale- exactly what I was after, a light fun platformer hearkening back to the PS1 era. Lots of the dialogue was pretty good but Lucky himself annoyed me. 24. Beat a game with romance as a central theme Genesis Noir- could half-fit this into a bunch of categoriers but it feels most natural here. I don't really want to say anything about this game, I went into it knowing nothing and I think that's the best way to experience it. --- Slowly becoming a Final Fantasy aficionado.
