[Sushi_b]

What games have you completed so far this year?

I've done a few

Ninja Gaiden DS
Blue Dragon
NHL 2k8
Assassin's Creed
Mass Effect (Twice)

CSI: Hard Evidence (My girl and I love the show, and wanted to play something together)

[moogle]

Uh, zero (unless you count SSBB). Considering I haven't really bought any games this year besides Brawl, not a big deal. I did start playing through Final Fantasy Tactics (original on PSX) again, getting about 3/4 through it. I do want to finish it, because I beat it back around when it came out and I didn't remember much.

I'm going to try and finish Mother before the Mother 3 fan translation is finished though.

[Raidou]

If you count fighting games and puzzle games, it will be a few from this genre.

Shit! I've yet to complete any RPG at all! The closest would be FF1 (PSP), probably by next week if I get bored with it.

[Indigo]

TWEWY
DQ:S
...
I think that's it.

[Raidou]

I didnt complete DQ:S coz the Wii console belong to my friend, need to return to him. Was the ending good?

[Contagion]

[Indigo]

I didnt complete DQ:S coz the Wii console belong to my friend, need to return to him. Was the ending good?

No... no way.

[Matron]

So far, the only game I've completed is Crisis Core. I spent a lot of time on WoW up til a month ago, and lately, I've been more into reading again.

I've played a lot of Lost Odyssey and FFXII, but I haven't beat either one.

[spaghetti junction]

Wild Arms 5
Persona 3 FES
The World Ends With You
Xenogears - this one was way overdue
Valkyrie Profile (PSP)

[Polygon]

Not that it was a huge accomplishment, but the only game I've beaten this year was Portal.

[Sushi_b]

No one really cares too much, but I finished off Super Mario Galaxy yesterday with all the stars. That and I finished Ninja Gaiden II the other day as well. I'll start up on RE 4 Wii edition now and also work on Ninja Gaiden II, Rondo of Swords and Lost Odyssey on the side.

[Void]

Uh... I don't think I've beaten any games, this year. I feel... empty....

[Polygon]

Thanks to finding that video for the trivia thread I went a beat Steel Empire for the Genesis. Took me about an hour.

[Jarrid]

Uh... I don't think I've beaten any games, this year. I feel... empty....

It is alright. I am there with you.

[Poofy]

The ratio of games I've beaten to games I've bought for this year is just... pathetic.


Mass Effect (PC)
Metal Gear Solid 4 (PS3)

Never mind I bought some 20-odd games since Jan. :/

[Evil]

Zero!

I've started a few, but never finished. I blame World of Warcraft.

[Matron]

Yeah, blame that game, it's what kept me from beating everything too! Every time I get out it sucks me back in.

Well, until last month when I finally canceled all three accounts. Finally, I'm free!
For now at least.

I still can't beat anything though, my tv won't cooperate.

[Raidou]

Only FFI 20th anniversary (PSP). Not much time for games, work work work!

[Ges]

MGS3

SSBB (as far as unlocking everything)
Call of Duty 4

FFVI and Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga will be added to that shortly.

[Raidou]

i envy the spare time you have dude. is great to be a student eh.

[Ges]

Part-time job and no class in the summer.

Seriously. I work at a Hallmark. Never more than 6 hours a day and they have a rule where you can't work more than 50 hours every two weeks. It's a joke.

Much time for whatever to occur. I love it.

The fact everyone sems to be handing me money also helps out with the gas and food part of this awesome equation.

[Sushi_b]

Well, it's about time you got back to here and started posting again then Ges. We've missed seeing you around here for some time. You too Raido. Figured you must be busy with work and such. Finish those games people.

I finished God of War:Chains of Olympus 2 weeks ago. Great addition for any PSP library. Highly Recommended.

[Blackdragon]

Super Robot Taisen (Almost a year later....)
Operation Darkness (Almost 2 months later...)

I get distracted quite easily.

[Fabs]

The **** is happening with people using my old av!!!

[Blackdragon]

Kill them, kill them I say! Let the bloodshed begin...

[Raidou]

The **** is happening with people using my old av!!!

Is Alizee frenzy, dump the monkey av, quick.

[freeflow^]

Well these are some old ones but I'm too poor with school and my recent trip to move on to next-gen consoles. I did buy a wicked computer for school however.

I beat:

FFXII - yeah I finally got back to playing it, and this time around it was quite entertaining. A slow story, ambiguous at best, but it still had the great FF sidequests that I've come to enjoy. The battle system was amazing IMO, and I loved how status effects were actually important/useful in this game.

MGS 3 - one of my all time favorites. I have been aching to play 4. I just beat 3 on extreme, which is ridiculously hard to do with a tranq gun.

NHL 08 - I play this game all the time at my friend's house. I'm so stoked for 09

Suikoden V - I had almost completed this game when it came out a couple of years back, but I got sidetracked with girlfriends and traveling. It just so happened that I only needed about 8 hours of gameplay to finish it off. I have mixed opinions about it. Not that I dislike the game, but at times I feel disappointed with it; at the same time, I could say it was one of the best stories I've experienced in an RPG.

[Contagion]

Beat Tales of Vesperia last night. Just gonna run around and get more grade and gald for next playthrough.

[Blackdragon]

Beat Vesperia on Sunday. Wrapping up endgame events now for finishing next playthrough.

[Fabs]

I actually beat games this year!!

-Breath of Fire V (Absolutely love this game, one of the best ps2 games)

-Grandia Xtreme (Great battlesystem still, but the dungeons get way too repetitive and story elements are handed to you in enormous chunks, that or nothing at all for hours...)

-.Hack 3 (even playing a hack game once every 4 year doesn't make the monotony of the dungeons go away)

-Unlimited Saga (Actually, once you know how the game works, granted finding that out is proper painful, it's quite a solid game with some amazing original concepts which, unfortunately, could have been handled so so much better)

[WOTON]

More than last year, but not much. Not like years gone by when I completed many.

Super Castlevania 4: fun game.

Legend of Heroes: Wasn't expecting much and ended up really enjoying this game.

Ar Tonelico: the battlesystem was boring, but the game had alot of charm.

Breath of Fire: finally got around to playing the original and it wasn't bad at all.

Chrono Cross: awesome game. I've had this game since it came out and finally took the time to play it. I now understand all the hype.

[Contagion]

Beat the main story in Infinite Undiscovery, but the seraphic gate is too hardcore...well ok, I'm underleveled, but another game where I missed way too much, so I'm going to replay it on hard mode soon enough.

EDIT: Throwing Final Fantasy Crystal Chronciles: Rings of Fate and Kirby Super Star Ultra to my finished list.

[Blackdragon]

Tales Of Vesperia 100% Achievements as of about 9/19/08.

[Contagion]

So far this week, I beat Sonic Chronciles, DKC, and DKC2.

[Poofy]

Just beat the Elite Four in Pokemon Pearl, so I'll count that as finishing the game.

[Jarrid]

Beat FFTA2 two days ago with 300 quests completed. I have one more sidequest to do, but I have tried beating it three times now, and it is absolutely ridiculous, so I put the game down. If I can find a FAQ that tells me my reward, I might go back and finish it, but I seem to have trouble with that. Not like the reward will really help me out that much. Nothing else to do after that. :p

Edit: Apparently 'The Final Quest' has a few extra bonuses after beating it, and I read up on how to beat it (kinda), so I might go for it.

[Contagion]

Mario RPG and Parasite Eve to the list.

[Sushi_b]

Well, the only thing that I've had time to finish so far in the past few weeks was Mega Man II, which I've done a number of times. Also topped up with Lost Odyssey. I'm so close to finishing Lunar Knights (DS). RE 4 has been pissing me off a little bit because, I love the game and I think I'm near the end but then I get thrown into some new area. I'm not even sure if I am close to finishing it or not any more.

[Blackdragon]

What part are you on? I could tell you where you are in the story.

Finished Warriors Orochi today, and did what I could in SC4 before I tired of it.

[Sushi_b]

I just got to the military compound on the island. I killed Salaazar and jumped into the boat with Ada finishing the chapter. Like I said, I'm really enjoying the game but I'm just wondering how far I am exactly and I don't want to look at an FAQ to see because it will spoil the story for me.

[jerubal]

Cooo, now you're asking. Recent probing into GOG.com saw the completion of the Freespace games, and the subsequent purchase and 'completion' of X3 (that is to say 'completion of the story mode,' but I've really barely scratched it).
Other than that nothing, I don't think. A quick blast on Need For Speed Underground earlier in the year, but that was just a bored revisit. Completing completed games is a day or two, max.

*racks his brain*
OH! I had a spate of downloading months ago, so Warcraft3 (again) and Frozen Throne for the first time.... and Fallout 2, but that was never about completing it.

[Contagion]

I'd say you're about half to 2/3rds done. Game took me about 19 hours first playthrough, feels like you're almost done...and you're not. I still have to take a run through on this on professional mode, practice for RE5. :D

[Blackdragon]

You're in Chapter 5, the last part of the game. You're almost there.

[Sushi_b]

Thanks for the heads up guys. I'm still plugging away at it. I just really really hate these regenerators. They are merciless. I'm really looking forward to seeing the finale of the game.

Just got Sonic Chronicles, Dragon Quest IV and Rhapsody in the mail today. Looking forward to adding them to the complete list sometime soon.

[Jarrid]

Let me know if you enjoy Rhapsody, Sushi.

[Blackdragon]

Mercenaries 2 is done...in two days.

[Sushi_b]

Let me know if you enjoy Rhapsody, Sushi.

Will do, I've played 2 hours so far. I'll likely start working on a review package of DS titles Jarrid, as well as the LO I promised sometime ago.

I managed to finish RE 4 on Wednesday night and then Lunar Knights on Thursday night. Now with a fresh slate of games on my plate I'm heading back to work.

[drunken monk]

Just finished Dead Space. It was awesome. It was kind of repetitive at times but the whole game just reeks of polish and creative design thats hard to turn away from. And the final boss wasnt very hard but you wont soon forget it. Its a fantastic example of what current gen hardware is capable of.

[Contagion]

Finished Secret of Mana last night. How the hell do I miss these games???...Must've been the lack of internet.

[Blackdragon]

Clive Barker's Jericho
All achievements unlocked

[Sushi_b]

I some how managed to finish Crackdown in only a week. That amazing for me as it usually takes a much longer time for me to get focused off work and play a game. Moving onto Viva Pinata. Crackdown is a pretty highly recommended game if you want to play something co-op with a friend. It's fun being a cop with no rules and super human abilities.

[drunken monk]

Beat Fable 2 a few days ago. Great game but the ending was an epic let down. Hopefully they will make an expansion like The Lost Chapters for DL on Live.

[Contagion]

Beat Star Ocean: First Departure last night, bonus dungeon and all. For anyone else playing or planning on playing, level 10 alchemy = uber profits, buy Iron and craft Philosopher's Stones and sell them (after using Group Appraisal), I made 15,000,000 fol in about 15 minutes.

[AngelofSorrow]

Man, I don't think I'll remember them all.
I'll try and do from October 2007 to now.

I really feel like I'm missing some.

[drunken monk]

Gears 2 :):):) God that was amazing. Most intense game Ive ever played. And by far the most visually impressive game of this gen. Must play for any shooter fan.

[Jarrid]

I have an almost 100% game in all fields but items, in Castlevania: TOC. I just need a few boss medals, but I have become completely bored with the game. Normal was. . .easy. Level 1 Hard mode was easy but a bitch, and Level 255 Hard Mode is a damn joke, however, except for the fact that no matter how high my defense may be, every single enemy still does a minimum damage of 31. The only mode I have not beaten is Albus Mode, but it is poorly designed, and it was fun for only the first twenty minutes or so. I put it down. In my opinion, I think it is an awesome game, so if anyone has not had the chance to buy or play the game, I highly recommend doing so. I am looking forward to the next installment. :)

[Blackdragon]

Fable 2. After I wrap up another achievement or two I'll be done with this game and it'll be on it's way to being trade-in credit. Good game, just no reaplay value.

[Poofy]

Castlevania: TOC
Fallout 3

[DrunkSwashbuckler]

Gears 2 :):):) God that was amazing. Most intense game Ive ever played. And by far the most visually impressive game of this gen. Must play for any shooter fan.

Finished Gears yesterday morning.

HOLY FUCK! The scene where he finds Maria is one of the most fucked up scenes in any video game!

[drunken monk]

Finished Gears yesterday morning.

HOLY FUCK! The scene where he finds Maria is one of the most fucked up scenes in any video game!

Yeah that scene was really fucked up. I wanted to kick some locust ass after seeing that shit. I felt so bad for Dom. That was really the only emotional scene that really had an effect on me and it hits pretty hard.

[DrunkSwashbuckler]

Seriously; my buddy and I were playing it straight through, and right after that scene, you're given the option of "Going around the back, or killing your way through." I'm not sure how anyone doesn't choose "Killing your way through."

[Void]

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Rings of Fate

It was horrible.

[Contagion]

I FINISHED A GAME

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Rings of Fate

It was horrible.

Yes...Yes it was. Beat it in less than a day and it went right back to the store.

[Void]

This morning I finished Ace Attorney: Appolo Justice.

[Contagion]

Finished Gears 2 today...*sigh* poor Dom...

[Sibek]

Finished The Witcher: Enhanced Edition

Awesome Awesome game.

[Contagion]

Beat ToS2 yesterday. It's not bad, but it's not great, only thing it really has over ToS is free-run in fights AND even then if you get hit you take critical damage.

[WOTON]

I finished Saiyuki Journey West (ps1). Overlooked srpg. I enjoyed it. It was a pleasant challenge.

[Contagion]

Slab Lost Odyssey on my tab.

[moogle]

I finished LostWinds and World of Goo...nothing special really because they're so short. Still working on OoE, but I've been playing it pretty infrequently. The constantly changing of glyphs kind of hinders gameplay for me.

[Sushi_b]

I finished Saiyuki Journey West (ps1). Overlooked srpg. I enjoyed it. It was a pleasant challenge.

Most people don't even know about it. It's one of my more liked games on the PSX. I just liked the characters wereforms and the story wasn't too bad overall.


Contagon, how did Lost Odyssey treat you?


I've only had time to play Chrono Trigger DS and MGS 4. Finally beat MGS 4 and was quite satisfied with the ending and the game overall.

[Contagion]

Lost Odyssey was pretty good, I did the experimental lab dungeon (or whatever it was called) and beat the boss at the end at about level 80 or so, he was actually half way challenging. The end was actually some what shocking (well just part of it), which you don't find much these days in any game (or it's just too predictable.)

Right at the end of Eternal Sonata, so I'm just gonna say this is as good as beaten today.

[drunken monk]

I just finished World of Goo. It was the most unique gaming experience Ive had in quite a while.
