How many have you beaten this year

[ParanoiaDragon]

I keep track of new OBEY clears in that one thread, but I don't keep track of other systems or games I like to whip out and beat on a semi-regular basis (like Hatris and Atlantean).  For PSP games, I can't keep shit straight on time lines, where one year blurs into the next, but I've managed to beat nearly half of 'em and another ten or so that've beaten me (f*ck you, Dungeon Explorer!).  I think that's pretty good, seeing as I amassed a decent sized collection (60) in just a few years, much to quickly to keep up on playing but they were too damn cheap to pass up.

You weren't able to beat Dungeon Explorer on PSP?  Is it just really hard, or is it just a crappy game, & you lost interest?  I have the DS & PSP games, I planned on eventually playing them..

He has logged 400+ hours in PSP Dungeon Explorer and is still not even close to Natas*


* Whatever the final boss is called. 

[Necromancer]

Heh, este is close.  It demands lots and lots of monotonous grinding to gain materials needed to unlock upper dungeons and to advance enough levels to not get your ass handed to you when you get there.  After looking online to see where I was at and finding I was maybe half way through, I quit playing at just under 100 hours, but I'll go back to it again eventually.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
Mario Kart 8
Shantae and the Pirates Curse
Dark Souls II
Shovel Knight
Dust an Elysian Tail

Then again i don't play to many games at once.

I'm working on Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate right now.  Cool you beat it.  Did you play it on 3ds?

Victory #2 for 2015

[NightWolve]

Nightwolve, I also played through SNES Super Mario World, in 2014. It had been... almost 20 years, since I last played it through, to completion.

I actually got stuck, at almost complete. I had to do a lot of backtracking, noticed I got all the secrets...
...
From what I recall, you can only get to 96(%) or so.

Was trying to do it without any guides, it's just that after you've beaten it and you go back to each and every level to scour it for the secret paths, alternate exits via the key, or whatever, it gets sooo damn boring... I never used to do this as a kid, I wanted to just get to the next game and enjoy something new; beating the game was considered "completed" as far as I was concerned back then. The fast paced nature with renting something every week to beat it though got me eventually regretting, thinking that I was missing out on the "full experience," not really savoring each game, so I slowed my gaming pace down, starting buying more games to own them and fully play them in time, but then I never recovered, then college came, first job, etc. In hindsight, considering all that I'm missing out on these days, I had the right idea as a kid seems like. Heh.

I am glad you have joined the club.

Or maybe you were already a member.

Anyway, you had to pull off some crazy platforming moves, so you get my respect.

This is a very minor spoiler if you're not using a guide but.............






The levels with secret exits are red on the map. If it's not red then there is only one exit. Just go to a level that's red, if it doesn't branch on the map then you've only reached one exit so far.

This is my third time completing JJ and Jeff.

Not bad. I've beaten it too many times ( as in, I probably should have tried something new instead of sticking with the familiar).

I tend to go back to certain games—a lot.

Like Wonderboy 1/Adventure Island (NES)

I'm much better at platformers than shmups, so I have a tendency to go back to the Bonk games, JJ and Jeff, Legendary Axe, Pac-Land and such more often than a lot of the other games in the turbo library.

Yeah, I know - That's an in-game protip you get when you hit one of those info boxes or something.

[Gentlegamer]

My 2014 list:

Dark Souls (had beaten before, platinum trophy run)
Dark Souls II
Borderlands 2
Dungeon Explorer
Mega Man 2

Lol I haven't read those boxes in years. My kids lime to watch me play because I can breeze through the game and I know where basically every secret is. Its one of the few games I'd say I've mastered.

I sat down and beat me some gunstar heroes tonight.
only 1 continue, and that's because i walked into a boss with a single lightning....
