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.

im already anhedonic vegetable
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.
life is the real video game, and for me that game is over indeed

>>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).
No.49392
>>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. The PS1 Syphon Filter trilogy maybe, but I just played/emulated those games not too long ago. Goldeneye or Perfect Dark would be a couple others, I guess. As in games I started in childhood, but never finished.

>>49409Plenty of times you play a game at a friend's house and never get a copy of your own. Or you start a game, something happens to distract you and you never get back to it. When you feel like playing games something else comes to mind first or you have something new and shiny to play. 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.
Try Duke forever as well. It's no where near Duke 3D but none of the Duke games are. Duke has one of the worst game line ups ever made and Forever isn't even close to the bottom.

>>49394I've remembered some more. Herc's Adventures was another game that I played only briefly as a kid at the house of one of my brother's friends when I tagged along with him one day and I've been somewhat keen lately on emulating and possibly finishing it. 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 played most of mine and I can tell you I don't even remember most of the games anymore. From all the
>top 100 games you need to play
videos you can find online, most games will not really capture you.
It is so hard to find worthwhile games with so much crap around …
Here is a limited list of things I can wholeheartedly recommend:
>Half Life series
>Portal series
>STALKER trilogy
>GTA San Andreas
>GTA Vice City
>Xenoblade for Wii and Xenoblade X WiiU
>Metal Gear Solid 5
>Metal Gear Solid for PSP the one where you are managing your own army
>Yakuza series
and probably a few more I forgot right now
I think most people are wasting their time trying to play and enjoy whatever youtubers or game magazines are recommending them. Just play a game for 2 hours and if you enjoyed it, keep playing. Otherwise just forget about it and move on, no matter how hyped it is.
However, there are still a few ones I want to try out:
>Final Fantasy for PSP Type 0
>Shin Megami Tensei 3
>Shin Megami Tensei 4 Apocalypse
The games I originally wanted to play until I saw they look shitty:
>Yakuza 6 (playing babysitter? are you nuts?)
>Final Fantasy 15 (being Sasuke Uchiha of a JPop Boyband)

>>49372I have succeeded in crossing a few games off of my list. I have managed to beat several 2D Mario games (World being my favorite), a Mega Man game, a Castlevania, a Kirby game, Donkey Kong Country, Star Fox on its lowest difficulty setting and others this year. Despite being 29, there are many classic games I have never beat. I have never beat a Zelda game, nor any Contra or Metroid. I have never beat a Touhou game on normal mode. I have never beat a Souls game.
>>49410This is a game I grew up playing. I actually think it's kind of a scary game. Maybe it's the level hazards like crushing ceilings, explosions, earthquakes, underwater sections etc. It just puts me on edge whereas I find Doom to be a relaxing experience.

>>49372By FAR the .Hack Series. When I last played it, I beat Infection, was halfway through the 2nd disc, and got the 3rd disc. At that point, life did shit to me, so I dropped it. 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.
Skies of Arcadia. I'm on the fence, because the random encounter rate is kind of a slog.
Shadow the Hedgehog. Because I find it so over the top it's funny, but then…you actually have to play it…soooo…
Evoland 1+2. I saw a little bit of a Let's Play of it about five years ago now, and it looks super fun.
Riven. I finally beat Myst a few years ago and got really interested in the lore and it's been in the back of my mind to play.
