Bearcat-Doug | 5,105 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Do you have a certain game you want to clear from your backlog? Do you have a certain high score you want to break? Post them here and make sure to come back when you make your goal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcgamer | 4,723 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I think my goal might be to play through at least one or two games each month. I've recently been enjoying all the play time I've been doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I've already accepted that I will never clear my backlog, but there are a few specific things I'd like to finish up before the next console generation starts. Beat Mass Effect 3: The first is one of my favorite games of all-time, although I thought the second was a letdown story-wise. Maybe I'll play Andromeda if I really enjoy 3. Beat Bioshock 3: This series was the opposite of Mass Effect; I liked the first game but loved the second. The third looks amazing. The Last of Us: I'd like to play the first one soon so I have a breather before the sequel. Everything I've heard about it makes me think it's is amazing. Gears 5, Borderlands 3, Jedi Fallen Order, and Control are also on my cleanup list for the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trj22487 | 350 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 January 2020 and I am just now finding out how to do Friendships in Mortal Kombat II arcade I'm thinking this year I might put my sanity on the line and try to beat it. At this point I've had the Arcade1Up for about 6 months and play near daily. I've also got nearly 300 gamerscore on Xbox Live this decade and it's barely 10:00 AM lol....lots of NBA2K20 MyCareer, Rocket League & Rare Replay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd39 | 2,020 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Get 600k in Nintendo Tetris. My current PB is 511k. I don't know if I can do it. I would like to beat SMB with no warps and without dying. The game isn't that hard, but getting through the entire thing with no deaths is a decent challenge. Maybe beat some other games without dying such as Castlevania and Ninja Gaiden III. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see you're still on the grind, and making progress at that! It certainly gets exponentially harder as you go. Have you been messing with level 19 at all?

Reed Rothchild | 9,525 Editorials Team · Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Write up SNES games #300-151 Try to beat the roughly 20 titles within those ranks that I'm still hoping to complete.

Occasionally I'll do level 19 starts and I can barely even make a single Tetris at that speed. 18 seems much easier after playing 19 for a while.

Maybe beat some other games without dying such as Castlevania and Ninja Gaiden III. I'd like to break a million and roll the score in NES Donkey Kong. I've gotten over 700k before, but the game is so repetitive with only the three levels, that once I lose my first life it seems like it just goes downhill from there. I know I keep saying I need to finish the second quest of Legend of Zelda. I want to finish both quests back to back, but every time I finish the first one I seem to move onto something else. I think we did a 1 life SMB contest back in 2015. I remember beating the game with over a million points, but I think that was still only good enough for 4th or 5th place.

Richardhead | 2,813 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 My gaming goal this year is more about buying rather than playing. I mean, I’ll still play a shit ton of games as per usual. I’m just planning on spending more of my disposable income on buying more games. That means less brunch, booze, eating out. Shit like that. I feel it’s time to go apeshit on my collecting again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel it’s time to go apeshit on my collecting again. I've been thinking about doing that myself. I was going to make a collecting goals thread too, so I guess I'd better get on that.

I've probably beaten most of them already, but maybe I'll find a few good games that I've missed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m308gunner | 352 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 To beat TMNT for the first time. Which I literally just did. Limped my way to Shredder's room with every turtle on life support (what a friggin' ordeal that final corridor is!) and ended up trapping Shredder in a loop with Donatello. Feels good. Everything else is just gravy! Also hoping to get my daughter to play a game of Super Mario Bros 2 or 3 without loosing her mind in frustration 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makar | 1,946 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Finish Fire Emblem 3 Houses, Pokemon sword, and Wargroove. All games I started in 2019 but didn't finish. I also need to start and finish Luigi's Mansion 3, Owl Boy, Yu-Gi-Oh (the switch one), mega man 11, and probably some others I'm forgetting lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
