Beaten in 2010

[Sparkster]

Somebody refresh my memory... does it matter if you've finished it 100 times or not?

Previously finished that I have finished in 2010:
1: Final Fantasy VI (SNES) - all characters... I had finished it at the end of 2009, but I absolutely had to have the complete ending, and to shave several hours off my previous time.
2: Adventures in the Magic Kingdom (NES) - This is one I've finished many times, but I struggled with it last night... fortunately, it's easy to never ever run out of lives.
3: Mega Man 3 (NES) - Again, I've finished this many times.

Finished for the first time in 2010:
Joe and Mac (SNES) - Normal mode (anyone know if hard mode provides a different ending?) - Fighting the last guy for a long time, and I get knocked down to my last life and last heart, and almost in full panic mode (and plenty of cursing), I pull it off.

In an attempt to get my post count above single digits, I will try and keep track of what games my patience allows me to beat, I'm also on a massive PS2 kick, so that'll be the majority of my list for a while


#1. Jan/single digit/2010: Star Wars Battlefront
It's short, it's easy, and it's fun. I don't play online, so after the "story mode" I just abused the computer for 2 weeks until I got Battlefront 2.
Highlight: 130 kills on Hoth as a rebel soldier
Lowlight: The Sequel

#2. Jan/Someteenth/2010: Star Wars Battlefront 2
It's short, hard and frustrating. You're no longer just a random guy on a battlefield, you're public enemy #1. Every enemy goes after you, and you alone. It also takes 3 times as many hits to kill anything, and it goes without saying, Rambo'ing it up in this game just doesn't work.

#3. Jan/20th/2010 Devil May Cry
I hadn't played this game in a good six years, and it's just as fun as ever. Apparently everyone hates the sequel, so I'll play that next.
Also, screw giant pigeon laser bird bosses, they suck.




Next Up: Devil May Cry 2

[EColeman24]

Just polished off GTA4 Ballad of Gay Tony. I think Luis is now my favorite character in this saga

[Zoltor]

Ok I beat FF 7, DW 7, Chrono Trigger, RetroGame Challenge, and Lufia 2 (Lufia 2, I beat twice) this year so far.

This is while I wait for RO, Shiren, and SMT:SJ to come out.

Not really. It's up to you what you wish to count on your list. If I counted every instance of me beating a game last year, my list would have been even longer than it was, but I've decided to only count games that I've beaten for the first time.

lol yea same here, however to be fair, the year is still new, so the odds of such runs of destruction are pretty low(downright impossible if your main genres are RPGs, and Tactic games).

Batman Arkham Asylum. Finished it starting a new game on hard a second time.

Batman Arkham Asylum
Brigandine
Dragon Quest 3(SNES)

[joshnickerson]

Finished A Boy and His Blob (Wii) tonight. I won't spoil anything, but the last few levels are just fucking awesome, for the most part due to the awesome new transformation the Blob obtains. It really is a wonderful game; it's a shame nobody bothered to buy it.

Lol I think the problem is the name, lets be real, if you want people to buy a game/take a chance with such, it needs to have atleast a somewhat cool name, a Boy, and his Blob sounds like a title for 5 year olds.

1. Lego Batman
2. E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial
3. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (GG)
4. Sonic Spinball (Genesis, Mega Collection)

5. Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (Genesis, Mega Collection)

Fuck this game. I've been picking away at it for the last few years and I hated every bit of it. It's a retardedly difficult version of Bejeweled.

Beating that effectively finishes off...

6. Sonic Mega Collection

Great damn collection. The inclusion of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles is, in of itself, a buying point. Having Ristar and Vectorman just sweetens the deal. Would have been nice to have the Streets of Rage games that the Japanese version got, but, eh.

4. Sonic Spinball (Genesis, Mega Collection)

5. Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (Genesis, Mega Collection)

Fuck this game. I've been picking away at it for the last few years and I hated every bit of it. It's a retardedly difficult version of Bejeweled.

Hey I ain't one to pick any fights but Mean Bean Machine (puyo puyo) is fun, you should do practice mode with a friend, once you start learning how do get those crazy chains on your friend and wipe him off the screen, maybe you'll like it better

But (IMHO) Sonic Spinball on the other hand, man, that last boss/stage is just retarded. Matter of fact %85 of that game is crapola, totally against what a Sonic game should be. I hated that game when I was a kid, and it stands the sucky test of time now. The music, the controls, that stupid, stupid message board that throws cheesy lines throughout every stage, just blegh.

But yeah, I'm actually still playing the Genesis Mega Collection now.
So far, I've beaten all the Golden Axe games, both Vectorman games, and am nearing the end of Decapattack, which I'm playing for the first time ever. Never appealed to me as a kid, but is an okay platformer. Thank goodness there's the old save state option for some of these games!

1. Final Fantasy Legend III (GB): 1/8
2. Dragon Warrior II (NES): 1/8
3. Dragon Warrior III (NES): 1/21

I just finishing my biannual Earthbound/Mother 2 run!

However, as this biannual thing has only been a tradition since my junior year of college, this is likely time number 60+ I've beaten the game.

[Nionel]

1. Mega Man 9 (XBLA, 1/4)
2. Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (Genesis, 1/4)
3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game (XBLA, 1/4)
4. Golden Axe II (Genesis, 1/5)
5. Eternal Sonata (X360, 1/6)
6. Alien Storm (Genesis, 1/6)
7. Battle Arena Toshinden (PSOne, 1/7)
8. Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers (XBLA, 1/9)
9. Super Mario World (SNES, 1/14)
10. Strongbad's Cool Game for Attractive People: Episode 5: 8-bit Is Enough (PC, 1/15)
11. Fatal Fury (PS2, 1/17)
12. Ys III: Wanderers from Ys (SNES, 1/19)
13. Fatal Fury 2 (PS2, 1/20)
14. Rival Schools (PS1, 1/21)
15. Bayonetta (X360, 1/22)

Not much to say on Rival Schools, while it doesn't look the greatest it's still a blast to play and I don't see why Capcom never did anything with the series past Project Justice, but I suppose it's likely because the series probably didn't fare well when it comes to sales, oh well, here's hoping that it gets revived in some form in the future.

As far as Bayonetta is concerned, I loved it. It was a great game and I want to start playing it on hard, but I have so many other games right now that I just don't think that's going to happen, but I'll definently be coming back to it sometime in the future.

1) F.E.A.R. (360)
2) Resident Evil 5 (360 2 player) Did anyone else find this game insanely frustrating? I never wanted to snap a game disc in 1/2 before so bad in my life.

[Ecks Kon]

#1. Jan/single digit/2010: Star Wars Battlefront
#2. Jan/Someteenth/2010: Star Wars Battlefront 2
#3. Jan/20th/2010 Devil May Cry

#4. Jan/22nd/2010: Devil May Cry 2
I can see now why everyone hated this game, playing through as Dante was brutal.
But playing through as Lucia was excruciating.
After playing through twice, I still can't figure out what the hell the game was about.


Next: DMC 3

[FireAce86]

So far, I've beaten:

Sonic 1 ( XBL )

Sonic 2 ( XBL )

I'm planning on beating Ace Combat 6 tonight.

I also got to get back to my RPGs.

I gotta beat Wild Arms 2, I've been too busy for it, lol.

Also, I got back into FFX, and I have to beat it soon.

[mezrabad]

1. PS3: Flower - what a pretty game! (23 Jan 2010)
2. PSN: Braid - challenging and pretty. (7 Feb 2010)

One of the biggest problems with Wii by far. There are a lot of unique & awsome games on Wii, but due to lack of marketing & the fact that the general public believes Wii is all kids stuff, nobody really notices them. I personally am going to finish/sell the 20+ games I have just to make room for some Wii titles other than New Super Mario Bros.
