darkchylde28 | 1,546 Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Updated my post to reflect the games moving forward from last year, new additions for this year (thus far), as well as one game from prior to the list's existence that I don't intend to restart but do intend to try to finish this year (Dragon Warrior II, I've been "stuck" at the super grindy last 1/4 for 3-4 years now). I also added three games to the list that are either mostly or entirely open world, simply because I know that I'm going to end up playing them throughout the year, most likely a lot (Minecraft, 7 Days to Die, and Skyrim). I figure I'll count those as "complete" if and when I hit the point in them that I've done everything I want to do in the existing world and either retire it or start up a new one. Skyrim has an actual ending as far as the story is concerned, so I'll update it as tentatively complete if/when that happens, then totally complete once I finish or tire of all of the side quests, hunting game, etc. Hopefully my non-standard entries don't step on any toes or put any noses out of joint. They're games that I either knew I would be playing (instead of what I was supposed to be in 2021, lol), or had started long ago but really wanted to see them through without having to go through the total slogfest of starting from scratch. Fingers crossed I'll be able to push some more broken down cars over the finish line this year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the GOAT of "sports" games. The addition of the manual was an absolute game changer and made this feel like a truly revolutionary sequel. I can't even estimate how many hours I spent on this masterpiece when it was released for the Dreamcast.

I can't even estimate how many hours I spent on this masterpiece when it was released for the Dreamcast. For sure, manuals allow you to string ridiculous combos, but still requires skill. It's easily my favorite sport game, and potentially objectively the best ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor | 850 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 first game off the list is complete. Luigi's Mansion (GameCube). I received Luigi's Mansion 3 as an X-Mas present, so figured i better play through 1 & 2 before starting it. Here's what i posted on the FB: I beat this back in 2001-2002 when it was current, but i hadn't played it since (it's been 20 years? that's absolutely crazy!) this game is alright. it's very limited as far as what you can do, so the mechanics get repetitive pretty quickly. My hand is cramped from the weird choice of how you need to press/hold buttons. it is a very linear game, as each room gives you a key to unlock the next room. but it does have some challenge, as sometimes you have to put some puzzle pieces together to find out how to progress. an interesting concept and good design on the enemies, but ultimately it feels kind of bland. i'm hoping the sequels can improve on the formula. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Rothchild | 9,525 Editorials Team · Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 Huh. I was pretty sure I got 100% with every character once upon a time (I know I got every single frickin' gap), but I don't actually remember that level. Maybe I just got far enough to get each of their ending videos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to 100% everyone else though, including Officer Dick and Spiderman. There's also a very small helicopter level which I don't recall how it's unlocked.

Brickman | 3,983 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 First game down for the year. Blazed through Metroid Dread. Absolutely loved this game and it has moved up as one of my favourite Metroid games (still like Super Metroid and Prime more). Don’t really understand all the complaints about it being hard though. Maybe compared to most Metroid games but I never had any difficulties besides one of the earlier bosses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philosoraptor | 468 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) Ugh. Hopefully I'm not too late. I'm probably too late. Oh well. I had this list made up before the 1st and didn't actually find the thread to post it. It's also a bit unconventional. Instead of specifics, I've decided to try to go for genres of games on specific consoles. That way I don't feel as forced to play games that I might otherwise not feel like. I'm also going to try to go back and replay some favorites that I haven't been playing because I've been forcing myself to play new games. It's been too long since I've visited some of my old friends. I have been and will be participating in various "beat all the games" threads to keep me motivated. I'll also be using their "beat" criteria for games, as necessary. The goal is 20 games across the listed consoles, including 5 10 25 50 import games. However, I'd like to see a number way closer to 50 100 150 200 222. Current count is 222, with 58 import games. As of August 5 and the completion of Time Gal, my backlog challenge is done. As of December 12 and the completion of Samurai Shodown 3, my final stretch goal for the year is done. Edit: Additional goal - beat more games than I buy this year. I've bought 101 games this year. So far so good.

It's very well designed considering its age.) Contra (1cc - been too long since I've played this one.) Donkey Kong (Things start getting serious on that third loop...) Donkey Kong Jr. (I think I like this game more than the OG Donkey Kong.) Golf (+21 - Damn this game is more unforgiving than I remember. I gotta try to do better at some point.) Pinball (266,550 - Made the flippers disappear. Almost all of the points were one lucky ball.) River City Ransom (One of my absolute faves. I couldn't stop smiling while Kunio was eating sodas.) Super Dodge Ball (Difficult difficulty and Bean Ball - So many memories. Such great music.) Super Mario Bros. (This one controls a little worse than I remember. Feels like some of my quick jumps didn't register after landing, and I feel like I got hit a few times I shouldn't have.) Super Mario Bros. 3 (Still insanely good, but now I need to play World to see which I like more.) Tetris (123,000 - largest rocket - I suck at these games that are derivatives of geometry. Math still haunting me to this day!) Famicom Akumajō Special: Boku Dracula-kun (I hate you space elevator. Really interesting platformer, otherwise.) Kyatto Ninden Teyandee (So forgiving. So cute. Even the spikes aren't 1-hit deaths.) It's never too late for videogames. I acknowledge and respect your list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
