I've beaten so many games from my childhood, but I still have a bunch left to go. LOZ: WW and LOZ:TP, Luigi's Mansion 1, (technically) Brawl since I've never finished the achievements, Kirby's yarn, GTA 4 and DLC, GTA 5 (no DLC?), Sonic Colors, Sonic Heroes (but I won't lmao), Wario Land SHAKE IT!, Sonic and the Secret Rings (but maybe not), and probably more. Glover and DarkSiders 1 and 2.
I don't want to even bother with DarkSiders 1 and 2, Sonic and the Secret Rings because they both didn't appeal to me. Also Sonic Heroes because it's over 100 levels of the same levels, don't get hit, collect every ring. Wow, that sounds horrible.
So 14 games minus 4 games = 10 games. I have no real desire to beat anything right now and I have a bunch of other stuff in my life, so it might take me until I'm a full blown wizard to beat this, but that's not too long.

i tried downloading many emulators and played many games in my twink years, quickly realized that video games are a waste of time. doesnt matter what you see or what you do, its all just flashing lights and ultimately pointless at the end of the day, there is no suspension of disbelief, i look at my computer screen i dont see a fantasy world i see smudges of dirt, pixels, and floaters in my vision.

>>49375I actually replayed Darksiders 1 and 2 early last year, just before I played 3, since I wanted to check out their remastered editions for PC, but I mostly regret doing so. Darksiders 1 was okay the first time I played through it back in like 2011/2012 or whatever, but replaying it turned out to be pretty dull for the most part and basically just ended up being a chore. Darksiders 2 was even more of a chore to replay and while I don't recall thinking of it as being that bad the first time I finished it, the act of replaying it really showed it as being pretty terrible and shallow. The DLC was for D2 was sort of OK though, but it was somewhat new for me, since I never checked out any of its DLC until replaying it. When I got to Darksiders 3 I expected the worst, but all in all it actually wasn't too bad. Yes, it's just a weak Souls knock-off with a couple gimmicks, but it wasn't super horrendous or anything. Maybe that speaks to my own expectations, since going in I expected it to be an unmitigated train wreck, but it has some decent level design and some decent boss fights and does the whole "pseduo-Souls" thing fairly well. The only thing that really annoyed me about it was the strong emphasis on dodging combined with wonky timing on enemy attacks/bad hitboxes on your character and the low FOV on the third person camera. Out of all of them, Darksiders 2 is definitely the worst of the series and has the most dull/generic gameplay and is basically a dreary snooze fest from start to finish (although even replaying Darksiders 1 was sort of like this for me as well, frankly).

>>49386I was in the middle of playing Automata, but stopped since I decided I wanted to go back and replay Nier first before going any further. I started an emulated playthrough of the english patched Replicant version a little while back, but dropped it after I got bored. Can't imagine I'll return to Automata until I finish replaying Nier because OCD.
>>49387Mods are only half the problem. I don't have the wherewithal for getting invested in an 80+ hour experience like either Morrowind or New Vegas. I wish I did, but I don't. That's also why I haven't played either Witcher 2 or 3, since they possess the same sort of problem for me. 80+ hour games just feel too overwhelming for me nowadays.
>>49388I see. In that case, I have nothing to add, since there are no games that come to mind at this moment which fit that description for me.

Unless you're using a guide most puzzle adventure games like point and clicks or Dizzy games will leave you stuck for a while and need to be put back and returned to later.
>>49410Duke's a good game but you're a faggot for wanting to speedrun it. Duke has a lot of expansions, some straight up porn expansions released in a box too. The other build engine games aren't as good (poor difficulty balancing mostly) but worth checking out. Make sure you're running it in Eduke since it's a good source port and polishes up the game with modern PC options while not effecting the gameplay in any major ways.

Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask are two others, since they came as a bonus Zelda compilation disc with my copy of Wind Waker for the Gamecube, but I never played them for very long, since I couldn't get over their horrendous N64, early 3D graphics. Heroes of Might and Magic 3, and The Curse of Monkey Island are two other games that I only ever dabbled with as a kid when tagging along with my brother.
And Tomba!, that's another one as well. I remember only playing the first few parts of that game and never getting very much farther than that. That's another game I might emulate and finish at some point and would qualify as a bucket list type game in this sense.

I haven't actually beat that many games so there are actually too many to count. I bought an NES, SNES and PlayStation classic. I am starting with the NES and working my way forward through time. The only game I have beaten so far has been Kirby's Adventure but I'm just getting started. On world 7 in Mario 3, Level 4 of Castlevania and trying to beat the Heat Man stage of Mega Man 2.
The amount that you pay per game makes the Classic Nintendo systems worth the price considering the emulation quality is top notch. The PlayStation Classic is kind of shite but I only paid $50 for it. I wish I could finish Mega Man Legends and Digimon World 3 but I will probably have to wait for a used PS4 when eBay is inevitably flooded with them following the launch of the PS5.

I finally got to a point in my life where I was able to revisit it, and finished the 1st and 2nd discs, was about to start the 3rd, and was thinking, "Alright, let's look up how much the 4th disc cos–" and it's anywhere from $300 to $500 for .Hack Quarantine for the PS2. It just feels like a punch in the gut. I had sort of tied up this series with this riding emotion of "Alright! I'm getting things back together again. Maybe life isn't so bad!" for a few months only to get this sucker punch.
Pokemon Silver. I have the cartridge, but the battery inside the cartridge went out and I've been too scared to figure out how to fix it at the risk of destroying it.

The battle system is kind of just passable. I don't know what to compare the combat system to since I don't play many different JRPGs. There's a job system kind of like Dragon Quest, enemies have weaknesses, and there are some QTE-like events on skills and guards that increase/decrease damage if you succeed. Everyone moves around freely on the field during battle but you can't really control how and where they move, they'll just automatically approach enemies when you choose to attack. This makes setting up AOE skills kind of a pain in the ass since you have to just wait and pray that enemies will cluster together and that your character aims correctly.
The whole combat system is interesting enough at first - jobs seem neat, some of the skills are pretty funny, and you get summons for different characters you meet in substories - but it gets kind of boring later on, because it's not very well and you'll probably just end up using the strongest job and spamming the strongest skills for later encounters.
Everything else is great though. I think the story was even better than 0 but that'll probably depend on your personal preference. The main character is more of an underdog compared to Kiryu and has a lot more emotion (his Japanese VA is the same guy who voiced Nishiki). The party members you get are pretty cool, especially the later ones. The new city is great and a nice change of pace from Kamurocho.
I'd highly recommend it, maybe wait until a sale or for a crack if you're unsure about the combat. It's definitely less satisfying than the beat-em-up format but it didn't drag down the experience too much for me.
You should also try out Judgement once the Stadia exclusivity bullshit ends and it inevitably gets a PC release.

I went halfway into Luigi's Mansion 1 and got hella pissed at the capturing ghosts mechanic and having to do all the bosses in one swoop for the maximum rewards for the A/S rank house (can't remember). I got so angry at the body builder because I tried so many times to get him and I failed each time. Also you can go through his door but it lights up the room so you gotta collect him anyways.
I went all the way into the final mission for GTA 4 but never completed it. Now I have no idea how to even trigger the mission or if I broke the game. I never did Kirby's yarn and I forgot about it. I'll get to it eventually I guess. I never did GTA 5 or Sonic Colors. By the time I made this post I was probably working on Sonic Heroes and the 100% completion is insane.

Rondo is very easy indeed, easier than the sequel (after few level ups). It is also very enternaining on first two playthrus (because of two different paths and extra character).
>>53281It's hardly a remake. Almost all the levels are straight as arrow, with very little variation. The game is dull and uninspired and in my opinion Dracula XX - especially if you didn't know it was supposed to be straight port of the PCE Rondo - is much better game.
Sharp X68K port or rather remake of the Famicom Akumajo Dracula is probably hardest of the classic titles and easily best after Akumajo Densetsu.
It was ported to PSX as 'Castlevania Chronicle Akumajo Dracula', which also includes gay hair -mode, so it is easily playable.
It also has ever harder loops upto level screen 99, just like original Fami one and Densetsu.
