Topic: Games You Recently Beat?

Fishing Star World Tour - Well, about as finished with it as I'm going to be. I've completed the "World Tour" and completed all the missions in every world, but I still have 3 of the 8 "Legendary" rank fish left to catch (one per world). They're more of a post game challenge, but with so few left I can't help but feel "incomplete" leaving them uncaught. They're just SOOO hard. I have the best rods & reels in the game, but no combination I've tried works (My line either has enough power to reel them in but not enough strength to hold them whenever they fight back, or enough strength to keep them from immediately snapping the line but not enough power to reel them in, resulting in me losing a battle of attrition).

Anyhow, it's an otherwise fine game that's a good way to unwind. In fact, during the normal course of the game the motion controls are perfectly viable & actually quite fun.

2019 completion list (newly beat in bold)

Switch:

• Fishing Star World Tour

PS4:

• Dragon Quest XI
• Senran Kagura: Estival Versus

So... this is gonna be an odd one.
Madagascar: operation penguin for GBA. I played it on a GBA SP.

Its a great 2D platformer. I genuinly enjoyed it quite a bit. I got it super cheap (6 US dollars, I think), and got it as a joke. Turns out it's also made by the same company who did the Crash N-sane trilogy. The moveset is extremly wide by the time you get to the last few levels. Completely worth every dollar 👏. Give it a shot if you can.

SEGA AGES Phantasy Star - Took me around 15 hours and I loved every minute of it.

Dead Cells - Reached the end stage for the first time and beat the ridiculously hard boss. Fortunately my energy bar was huge as a few more hits and I was a goner. I've still got loads to do in this game though and I intend to do it.

Cursed Castilla - I beat this in 10 hours over 3 days. Loved it! I never collected all the secrets though so never unlocked the true final stage and boss. It was really tough going just getting through the levels, never mind hunting for secrets so by the time I beat the 7th stage boss it felt like job done move on.

I recently picked up Gorogoa on sale and ended up beating it twice last night. The first time I only intended to play for a little bit, but I got sucked in. Then, after my wife came home from work, I wanted to show her the art style and the puzzle mechanics (she's really into art, so I thought she might appreciate it), and we ended up working through the whole game together again. It's not a long game, but it is really well done!

just beat Tony Hawk's Underground 2 and unlocked Shrek (yes, Shrek is in the game.)
back to completing on normal (I'm on the last level on there too). than likely beat Sick after Normal.

Tsuppari Oozumou via the famicom online service. It’s pretty fun. Nothing classic or spectacular, but fun.

I just finished Volume 1 and Volume 2 of Nekopara and their respective bonus stories (volume 0 and extra). I'm sure plenty of people, especially western audiences dismiss the games as anime smut, and to a small extent I would agree. But I honest to god really enjoyed these visual novels. Loads of eye candy to be true, but each character is pretty well defined and interesting for more than just their looks. I was laughing quite consistently and enjoying myself throughout the experience. I think I can enjoy it more because in large part I understand enough of the Japanese that I pick up on the Japanese jokes and puns that just don't translate well into English. Also since the male character lacks a voice actor, I read most of his lines in Emperor Palpatine's voice (Star Wars) and amused me far more than anything rightfully should.

While I really really enjoyed both of these and really hope for volume 3 to comes to Switch as well, I wouldn't really recommend them to western Switch owners. They are extremely niche titles, even here in Japan. But for those of us who fit into that niche, these are some extremely enjoyable titles. Lots of great humor, tons of great eye candy, and just enough lunacy to remind you to take nothing seriously.

#noshame I'd rather enjoy this than most mainstream western entertainment any day!

My first and only beaten game of this year is Danganronpa 2 - Goodbye Despair on steam. There were rumours it was going to appear, along with the first game - "Trigger Happy Havoc" and "V3" on Switch, and I was itching to buy them, but I ended up getting them in last year's Christmas sales along with the spin off "Ultra Despair Girls". I'd definitely recommend them if they do finally land on Switch.
They play similar to the Phoenix Wright series of games, in that you investigate a murder scene and collect evidence which you can use in the class trial that follows. The story follows a group of Japanese High School students who were accepted into a prestigious academy. Upon entering the school, they black out, and wake up trapped together with no escape. The students are then encouraged to murder each other for the chance to escape, but only after passing the class trial. If the murderer is proven guilty, then only the murderer is executed, whereas, if the murderer successfully evades justice (you are unable to prove the culprit's guilt), everyone else is executed, and the murderer walks free.
You advance through trials by presenting evidence or "truth bullets" at contradictory statements, that allow you to piece together the circumstances as to how the victim was killed. There are also several minigames to this effect, and some of them are more fun than others.
Outside of the investigations and trials, you can spend time with each character by giving gifts and learning about their backstories (earning trial buffs in the process).
I found it enoyable, but some of the minigames and post-game modes were a bit frustrating. At any rate, I've earned every achievement for the game, and I'm for all intents and purposes, finished with the game, but I'd certainly go back to it one day, if not to refresh myself on the story when I go on to V3, but to play it through in Japanese to hear how the characters all sound. The English VO was great though. My favourite characters were Teruteru and Gundham in that regard.

The next games I'm in the process of beating are Mario Tennis 64 (I've beaten the regular singles and doubles tournaments as every character now), Octopath Traveller (beaten chapter 2 for several characters) and Final Fantasy VI Advance (I can enter Kefka's tower, but I'm yet to recruit every character or perform adequate preparations.

@Aozz101x Was Shrek available on the Gamecube version? I spent more time playing Pro Skater 4 & to a lesser extent, Underground 1, so I doubt I unlocked everything possible on THUG 2. I'd been meaning to play those skater games again, actually - I was reminded of them when I was playing Mario Tennis of all games.

@edhe Have fun collecting all the trophies for V3. They really make you work for it. Spent 95+ hours just engaging with the insane amount of post-game content.

Oh, and in case you should happen to watch the Danganronpa 3 anime (the canon follow-up to DR2; V3 is an unorthodox sequel and kind of its own thing), be sure to play Ultra Despair Girls beforehand, as the anime heavily references all three previous games.

@Ralizah Regarding the anime, I might very well do that. I was planning to move onto Despair Girls next, but I do find the world very interesting.

@edhe Yup. this is my image of unlocking him.

THUG 2 was absolutely mad. I do remember being able to play as someone in a motorised wheelchair.

But why can I remember being able to play as Billy Gunn from WWF? In a rocket powered Segway? It was on a Boston level, I think.

@Aozz101x There was a game that was just called "Shrek"? No subtitle like "Shrek the Green Banaza" or something? Also man, I miss those old Tony Hawk Underground games. Great music, and they remind me of my friends, several of whom played them often as I was growing up. Right shame how that series faded away.

Be prepared for some pretty disturbing scenes in Despair Girls.

@Cynas I'm still somewhat surprised it wasn't censored at all, especially considering how many taboos it touches on.

I just Platinumed Assasin's Creed Odyssey. This is actually my first time getting a Platinum and, with a violent games of all thing. I don't play violent games... What is wrong with me? D:

Most certainly not going to make a habit of it. lol

Just finished Links Awakening DX, at times it felt like a chore and some of the puzzles are a bit obtuse but I enjoyed it overall and definitely plan on getting the Switch version on release.

Yay...!!
I have finished Pokemon X 3DS just now !
I used Xerneas, Greeninja, Sawk, Pikachu, Swanna and Aegislash to beat Four Elites, Diantha and Pokemon Trainer AZ.

LEGO DC Villains. Now for the post game.

Just finished shovel knight shovel of hope for the 2nd time. It's so great time flies while you're playing it. Should beat twilight princess hd tonight too
