The Totally Rad Show community, "w00t i finally beat it !" thread

[iccanui]

This might be dumb, but how many times have you beat a game and just had no one around at the moment to outlet that joy too. So here is a place that can exist and all you have to do is search for w00t and you can post up your latest gaming achievement and maybe even spark a small discussion about that game.

So ill start.


w00t i finally beat Puzzle Quest on the DS! What a great game. I think in its own way its one of the best games i have played. Its not flashy or a next gen game with over the top graphics or anything else. The thing about puzzle quest, and let me be clear im talking PQ on the DS, is that you can just pick it up and put it down. Now i LOVE big games, GTA4 is perhaps my fav game of all time on the console cause there is just so much to do, i play it almost daily still. But PQ is the perfect game for when your in the bathroom, when your standing in line, when you have 5 or 10 minutes to kill... or 30-60 min cause you just want to beat one more quest ! But to have something that i can pick up at a moments notice, that i can carry with me every where i go and flip that lid shut and not worry about opening it up and having a situation spring on me that i need to be in a groove for is awesome.

So not to ramble... PQ on the DS is the bomb. If you have a choice to get this game on the DS dont get it on your xbox or your pc, get it on the DS. It becomes so much more then just a neat puzzle game when you can pick it up and jump in or out at a moments notice.

[dolson]

PQ is on the PSP as well, and it's also on the Wii and PS2. I prefer my PSP version to the Wii version for the very reason you state. :)

Congrats on your victory!

It's a good thread idea, as I usually finish games when the wife is at work, so... Yeah, I'll try to remember this thread when I finish Ratchet... Gotta stop playing the Battlefield demo first, though. ;)

[bobwise]

Great thread idea!

Anyone remember those old "Achieve the Glow" commercials Nintendo used to put out? It was like a person playing the old GBA on a bench or at a dinner table and everyone is ignoring them, then all of a sudden the person gets this huge grin on their face and starts grinning, and everyone starts to cheer. That is this thread.

So my most recent "glow moment" was when my guild finally defeated Gruul the Dragonkiller in World of Warcraft. I'm sure many of you don't understand what an achievement that is, and I know there are people who think killing Gruul is no big deal, but for my guild it was a HUGE deal, and I was so excited but there was no one in the room with me to cheer with...

[bobafettjm]

Well I just beat Sonic 2 on the Xbox Live Arcade last night while my wife was asleep.

Oh no,i understand. I quit WoW a long time ago, about MC, but i did indeed go very far into EQ. I remember completing my Vesheen Peaks Access quest ( the old grueling one, not the new easy one ) with camps clocking in at 7 hours and one 16 hours of straight camping ! That moment of achievement when i finally walked into that place... That was a glow moment :)


Conga rats to your achievement ! Im so tempted to play WoW again. I wish i had friends to play with in there, i would probably start it up again. Well maybe, i kinda think also that since im gone i might wanna stay gone lol.

[iccanui]

Well I just beat Sonic 2 on the Xbox Live Arcade last night while my wife was asleep.


w00t !

Hey you just gave me a idea.... capturing the endings ! brb ;)

*edit*

nevermind, puzzle quest ending inst exactly exciting and i suck at video. Ill save you all the paid. Maybe for gta4 :-D

Can you suspend it on the PSP ? I want a PSP so i love them, but the big thing for me is being able to close that lid on the DS and open it back up and its right where you left it. No quitting no nothing. I mean i have actually played this game while driving. Stop at a light, flip the lid, make a move or 2 then light changes and flip it closed and go.


btw, you can post when you finish the BF demo ;)

Heh one reason I quit WoW...the lack of real people...

I might go back to it this summer tho...maybe revive PopeSeanPaul (http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Anub%27arak&n=PopeSeanPaul)

Yup. PSP can suspend any game at any point. Just slide the power switch and don't hold it. To fully power it off, including exiting any game in progress, you have to hold the power switch for a few seconds. :)

I already finished the single-player level of BF:BC demo (three times). So yay!
The multiplayer doesn't have an ending though, and that's where my time is going. :)

[az0madman]

I hate that switch being there! I'm always afraid that I'm playing and I'll accidentally slide it to go into standby.

I finally beat the last level in StillAlive DS (not the advanced levels). That one was a bitch because it was nothing but jumping! My thumb wouldn't forgive me after that one.

How is that game? It looked really good and im looking for a new game to live in my DS like Puzzle Quest does. I have 2 DS's so i want to keep PQ in one and when it dies and i have to recharge it ill use the other one with the new game in it :)

But conga rats!

I actually thought of doing that as well, but the ending for Sonic 2 is about as exciting as watching the credits.

It's a pretty fun and works as you'd imagine. A ton of levels with the game plus quite a few downloadable (or play straight from wifi) levels already. Though, since downloadable levels can be created by anyone (via PC), there the chance at bad level designs and what not.

[MaxTheSilent]

Let grandpa school you kids for a moment, and admit that I've never had a greater feeling of game-completing accomplishment than when me and my buddy finally finished PIRATE'S COVE on the Commodore Vic-20.:)

I think we were about 9 or 10 at the time.

[darthender]

I just got 100% completion in GTA4.

[iccanui]

I just got 100% completion in GTA4.

Nice man. I am about at 60%. I keep getting missions then in the middle of them seeing a ramp or getting mad a cop or someone and wrecking or dying or going to jail lol. So much to do in the game, i love this open world stuff. Well i love it in GTA4 anyway.

[az0madman]

Beat two games today.

Half-Life Episode 2: It was awesome. I can't believe I've waited so long to play the series, and now that I beat Ep. 2, the third one just can't come soon enough. The ending really surprised me. I read reviews of the game and remember hearing that there'd be emotion tugging moments in the game, but was not expecting it to end the way it did. The battles were epic too.

Beyond Good and Evil: Great game. It actually froze on me near the end game. I have the PC version and apparently it's a common problem, so I'm glad I got my save file fixed. No way was I going to play through it all again after all that. Anyhow, the game was shorter then I was expecting, but I had a fun time playing it. Really loved the cinematic feel to the game. I was disappointed that the ending didn't really lead up to the sequel teaser, but I am excited for more.

[neverendingwhitelights]

100% on Lego Indiana Jones. Blame it on my little brother, he got too into it, and we beat it together in 2 days. Thank God it was a rental.

[dolson]

I just finished Capcom's The King of Dragons with a final score of 1768400. Took me 54:18, and used 6028 button presses... Amazing if you think about it, how game controls hold up under hundreds of thousands of button presses, perhaps millions..

[dolson]

I just finished Capcom's Knights of the Round, with a final score of 410370. Took 48:56. and 7037 button presses.

[ptzen]

Recently finished Assassin's Creed for PS3. Its not a great game and i hated the story (alot really, couldnt care less. Stopped playing attention to cutscenes half way through) but i absolutley LOVED the gameplay. It really saved it for me! Yes it was repetitive but i had soooo much fun along the way and the final parts with all the fighting, loved it.

Finished the main-story in GTA4 too. Great game and great story-telling!

[iccanui]

Just finished GTA4 a few days ago. What a incredible game. To think i almost didnt buy it cause it just looked like a over violent game aimed at kids. The story in this game is so detailed and draws you in so deep that there was times i actually had to put the controller down, sit back on the couch and really think about what my next choice was. Not because its a hard decision, but cause it was a morally challenging decision. People say this game sets a new benchmark in gaming and i have to agree. I look forward to more games just like this, even if its just a new plot slapped on to the game basically. I really look forward to a sci fi game like this. Which was probably mass effect, but i dont have a xbox so thats a bummer for me.


So w00t ! Finished GTA4.

[dignan17]

This isn't a recent game beating, but this thread is a great idea, and I didn't get to beam about it back then.

See, I had a Sega Master System. I don't know about the other owners of the SMS, but back when I first got it, right up until it was pushed to the back burner for the SNES, I never beat a single game on that system. I think the problem is that the game followed the "next level has more bad guys and is faster" pattern, and that started to get boring for me.

But one of my favorite games on that system was Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap (http://www.allgame.com/cg/agg.dll?p=agg&sql=1:1794). Well, about 4 years ago when I was in college, I finally beat it. It essentially took me about 15 years to beat the game.

Then there's Ghost House. Has anyone here played Ghost House for the SNES? That is by far the hardest game I have ever played. I only got to the second level ONE TIME!

[dolson]

I just finished Eco Fighters, a very strange Capcom side-scrolling shooter game.

Final score: 1788826, only 39:57 to beat it, with only 1379 button presses.

[dignan17]

I just finished Eco Fighters, a very strange Capcom side-scrolling shooter game.
I'm assuming you're a pretty big Capcom fan... :)

[joedubbs]

JUST finished GTA4. Holy shnikes what a story. I had fallen off with San Andreas I felt some of the gameplay just broke for me but Liberty City was so compelling and well done. It took me a while but it was never for want of desire to play the game.

I still haven't beat PQ on the PSP because I can't beat the last boss!! Any suggestions would be appreciated but I don't stand a chance against him.

[damnedeyez]

I still haven't beat PQ on the PSP because I can't beat the last boss!! Any suggestions would be appreciated but I don't stand a chance against him.

It took me a few tries. I swear, the computer opponent knows what's going to drop from off screen, since they usually can pull a 3 of a kind and have a series of 4s drop on me.


oh, and people need to realize there's a game called PQ on the PSP...stop shortening Puzzle Quest.

[dolson]

I'm assuming you're a pretty big Capcom fan... :)

I think they're great... :) But how can you pass up like 16 games or whatever it is on one disc for like $15? Most of them are classics.

--

I'm taking a short break from MGS4 today and killing some Ratchet and Clank Future.. Might finish it soon if I keep it up, though I'm stuck at the moment.. :\

[az0madman]

Stuck where?

Just finished up God of War on the PSP. Still shocked that they managed to fit a PS2 experience on the PSP so well. Of course, GoW's fixed camera makes it perfect for the PSP. So now I'm extremely pumped up for GoW3. HOPEFULLY they'll tease it at E3.

Close to beating FF7: Crisis Core, but I'm addicted to the side missions. They're repetitive and I'm starting to hate how long it's taking to get 100%, but I'm damn addicted to doing them all.

[stubadub]

I finally beat the last level in StillAlive DS (not the advanced levels). That one was a bitch because it was nothing but jumping! My thumb wouldn't forgive me after that one.

How the hell do you beat level 26, with that long chute down the left side where you can't place a portal, and the energy ball bouncing back and forth blocking the path? I can't fall down without getting hit by it, and I don't know what else to do. ARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!

[az0madman]

Sadly, there's no trick. It's all about timing or whether or not you feel lucky.

I figured it out - use Heli-Pods on the Ublik Passage!! Always remember this!

[stubadub]

Sadly, there's no trick. It's all about timing or whether or not you feel lucky.

Evidentally the secret is to whine on a forum about how you can't do it. I beat it and the last two normal levels right after posting. I'm going to do the advanced levels in short one level bursts, I think. I'm moving back to Professor Layton, Crisis Core and MGSIV.

[dolson]

Well, I finally polished off the last bit of Ratchet & Clank Future, so w00t for me. I hated the ending, though. Time to pop Metal Gear back in, and then after that, I'll work on Bad Company. Or maybe I'll get around to trying out The Darkness, Dark Kingdom, TimeShift, or finishing off Viking or Folklore. Too many games, too little time!

[stubadub]

The Darkness is great and fairly short. The voice acting is top notch, and using the Darkness powers is a lot of fun. My main complaint with that game is the complete lack of ability to run.

[dolson]

Yeah, I picked it up because some people on another forum said it was great, and it was only $20. I will get around to it, as I liked the demo.. Just I'm never sure what difficulty to choose for games like this, as I'm not really good at aiming yet, but I don't want it to be super easy either.

In other news, it looks like the ESRB has confirmed the new Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty game. Not sure if it's a full retail game or just a downloadable PSN game, but some people seem to think the latter. Either way, I'm interested in that.

[gi_josh]

I just beat Metal Gear Solid 2 the other day, and Harvey Birdman for the PS2 yesterday.

[aerodash84]

On my 7 hour trip to MI for the holiday weekend. I finally beat New Super Mario Bros. still have other worlds to unlock and beat, but completed the main track. Now onto Pokemon FireRed and Pearl. Geeky I know, but a fun gateway RPG from my childhood.

[godmode]

Just finished GTA4. I gotta say im a little disappointed. The game had so much potential but they just stuck to the formulaic gameplay of all the GTAs.

[az0madman]

Just finished GTA4. I gotta say im a little disappointed. The game had so much potential but they just stuck to the formulaic gameplay of all the GTAs.

Yeah, same here (though I still very much enjoyed it). I don't know why, but I was expecting something drastically different, yet I quickly realized that it's classic GTA but prettier. Guess it's that structure that makes it a GTA game and not something else entirely.

[stubadub]

Beat Professor Layton. I'm thinking I'm going to start The World Ends WIth You.

[gi_josh]

Beat Professor Layton. I'm thinking I'm going to start The World Ends WIth You.

Do it, its amazing.

[krypt]

Late to the party or not, I just beat Half Life 2 on 360 and i had a blast!

[aerodash84]

I guess I should finish The World Ends with You or Half-Life 2 so I can catch up with others.

[jamesg]

Finally took the time to finish Condemned 2. Great game but the ending was a bit anti-climactic.

[blacksymbiote]

Got 100% on GTA4 today.

I guess it's back to Mass Effect for another play through.

[iccanui]

Is mass effect really worth it? Im so tempted to buy it for the PC right now.

[eddielee]

Is mass effect really worth it? Im so tempted to buy it for the PC right now.

If the vehicle sections weren't in it, it would be a PERFECT game. I would absolutely recommend it.

[blacksymbiote]

I actually liked driving the tank around. All my friends liked it too.

[az0madman]

The tank only pissed me off when we landed on the most rockiest of planets. It's a pain in the ass to navigate through rocky terrain.

Beat Crisis Core. I wanted to beat all the side missions, but said forget it. I didn't have the patience. The ending was really... weird. I don't know. I didn't really like the story by the end.

Also beat Gears of War finally. It was a cool game, but not as great as everyone praises it as. Though, I haven't played multi or co-op so I've probably missed out on most of the experience. Last boss was definitely tough. Took so many tried to kill him before I realized that there was a Torque bow in the train car checkpoint which made it much easier. I'll probably look forward to Gears 2 so I can get in some co-op when it comes out.

[skin87]

I just got all 250 achievement points for Puzzle Quest + the expansion. Now I am moving on to go for 1050 points in Mass Effect.

[dolson]

A few days ago, I finally beat Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom.

It is the closest thing to Diablo or Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance on the PS3 right now, so, despite the polish, I was able to enjoy it.

I liked it. Definitely worth the $20 asking price, but I wouldn't say much more than that.

[heyseuss]

A few days ago, I finished Vice City Stories. SPOILER -

I was heartbroken. That was the first time a real human connection was in a GTA game, and it was really sweet genuine romance.

EDIT - Now that I think about it, the Asian woman throwing herself out the window in GTA Liberty City Stories was pretty shocking to me too.

[dolson]

I finally just got around to finishing Metal Gear Solid 4, after breaking to finish Ratchet & Clank Future, Untold Legends, and a few others...

Well, I wasn't a Metal Gear fan before the game, but I can honestly say it was one of the best games I've played. It's not in my top 3, maybe 5, but it's still freaking awesome.

The story wasn't hard to follow, so I don't know why anyone says that.. As someone who had no backstory, I wasn't really confused or bored, except at one part during the ending I didn't understand at first. But it is really minor, all things considered.

Any self-respecting action fan with a PS3 should at least rent the game and try it out, and anyone who had considered buying it but hasn't yet probably should.

I hope nobody crucifies me, but I hope it comes to 360 eventually, as it is a game that everyone should have the chance to play, regardless of console they chose. I say this as someone who will likely never buy a 360, and is glad that BioShock is coming to PS3... Timed-exclusivity, as I've said before, is the ideal for third-party games, as it should be all about the gamers.

There are very few video games that have ever brought tears to my eyes... I can't even think of one, off hand, except perhaps Beyond Good & Evil (can't remember). For someone like me, who is far from being a MGS fanboy, to like the game that much, it's gotta be good.

Finally, a game that lived up to the hype (GTAIV this isn't).

I haven't even touched the online yet, but I probably won't. I'm satisfied with ending my experience here.

I would also submit that this game won't and shouldn't be game of the year. As good as the production values are, as great as the controls are (especially the *** controls!), as engaging as the story is - this isn't a game for everyone, and I think the title belongs to a game that appeals more broadly. My money is set on LittleBigPlanet, unless it launches and is screwed up in some big way, but I can't see that... Sony knows it's a big game to launch, so they're probably going to make sure it's QA'd out the rear.

Wow, I get offtopic alot.

So, as I was saying, I finished MGS4. Yay me... n00b.

[aerodash84]

I just finished Penny Arcade Adventures Episode 1 and now I want to play more. Now to get back to the many other games I haven't finished.

[dolson]

I polished off TimeShift last night. It was a tasty meal. Not local grade-A naturally-raised without antibiotics beef, but more like the $2-off pan-fry steak strips you find at your grocery store.

So, w00t.

Not sure what to play next.. Something short, before Dead Space arrives in three weeks... I could go back to Indigo Prophecy, I guess.

[bobafettjm]

I ended up beating Prey not too long ago. Now i'm working on Dark Sector and Spiderman 3.

[aerodash84]

I ended up beating Prey not too long ago. Now i'm working on Dark Sector and Spiderman 3.

I bought Prey from steam for $5 and still haven't gotten around to it. Spiderman 3 is an evil game. I love the previous games, and I played it. It was very little fun to get through and was glad to finish it and sell it. I wish you luck.

[straylightrise]

went 19-0 on Madden 09 with the Steelers on All-Madden. Wooo.

So yeah so far Spiderman 3 is a very frustrating game. The camera is absolutely horrid, and there are oh so many glitches. Whats really frustrating though is that when playing it I can see so many things that could or should be so much fun if it just had a little bit more work.

The good news is that darkSector is pretty fun. :)

[bobafettjm]

Yeah I'm a couple of levels into it so far and I actually like it quite a bit. Seems like sort of an underrated title to me.

[iccanui]

Oh yea, i beat WoW.

Dinged 70 on a hunter i made to join TRG :)

w00t !

[cptn-vortex]

For Me, it is getting through each song in Guitar Hero 3 on Hard. I am still pretty bad, and its a great feeling to beat a song!

[doctorvsmaster]

I am going to the Baltimore comic con and I want to dress up as Leon. does any1 know of any sights that will sell a Leon Kennedy outfit(the leather jacket one from re4). thanks.

[doctorvsmaster]

i've beaten the resident evil games more than once, they r sooooo fun. Probably my favorite video game franchise

Here's what you do and it'll save you time and frustration. Stop playing Spider-Man 3. Get a copy of Ultimate Spider-Man and play it. Probably the best spider-man game out there. Awesome plot which is being used in the USM comics now. Combat is better, and playing as Venom is far different. Just an overall better game, good looking compared to SM3. Can't tell people how great it is, and sad that it may never get a sequel at this point with every other Spider-Man game out there.

[aerodash84]

For Me, it is getting through each song in Guitar Hero 3 on Hard. I am still pretty bad, and its a great feeling to beat a song!

There is something about GH3 that turns me off to the game. I love it on medium, but when I make the jump to hard it's like a kick in the nuts. GH1 & 2 is a little more easier to progress in levels. 3 just turned me off and I beat it twice on Medium and Devil Went Down to Georgia was annoying enough on Medium. I feel like I'm just downing games left & right. I recommend GH2 if you skipped it before, I really love the songs in it more for some reason as well as slightly more forgiving jumping into harder difficulties.

[aerodash84]

Oh yea, i beat WoW.

[dolson]

Well, today I picked up BUZZ! Quiz TV and I played a match online against SpectaculaDracula and one of his friends, and I WON!

Celebrate good times, come on!

How is it? I do enjoy good trivia games and considered Scene It! for awhile on the 360.

[az0madman]

I wanted to get the ps3 buzz after trying the PSP version but money for games is tight. Is it worth the $60?

[dolson]

I really like it, so far. I think it's worth the $60 since it comes with four wireless buzzer controllers, over 5000 questions, online play.. Good times. It's my first BUZZ game though, so I don't know how it compares to the older ones, and I heard the PSP one isn't great.

I'm more impressed already. Those are the reasons I wanted the 360 Scene It! I only have so many controllers and can't afford to spend around $40+ on controllers.

[az0madman]

PSP Buzz is okay. Obviously the lack of local multiplayer (I didn't try online) is a downer. But I oddly love the quiz type games. Forgot that it came with the buzzers, so definitely adds to the price point.

[bobafettjm]

How is it? I do enjoy good trivia games and considered Scene It! for awhile on the 360.

I can't speak for Buzz as I have yet to play it, but Scene it! is quite fun if you like movie trivia.

[stubadub]

I had been excited about Scene It for 360, then picked it up and thought it was mediocre. Shortly afterwards I played Buzz on PS2 at a friend's house and had an absolute blast. I didn't know you could play the PS3 version online. I will be getting that game. When I do we need to have a TRS-off.

The wife played BUZZ! tonight with me. First we played a couple matches against each other, and then I got her to try the two quizzes that I made at mybuzzquiz.com, and then she wanted to play online.

So, we played and lost pretty badly. It's neat - you play as a team, so either of us could hit the answers with either of the buzzers. Kinda neat how it works like that. They call it Sofa vs Sofa mode.

Do my quiz (and rate it 4/4) here: http://www.mybuzzquiz.com/en_GB/actions/PlayQuiz.do?fileID=108378

Just got my PS3 this morning - not bad turnaround time, as I mailed it Wednesday at 5:15pm, and Monday was a stat holiday (Thanksgiving in Canada).

Just finished The Darkness. I was only about 1-2 hours from the end when the PS3 died last Monday.

Great game - gave me lots of feelings that I have only felt while watching Donnie Darko back in the day.. Throughout and even as the credits rolled. I loved it, and I don't know why, exactly.

Not sure what to play now. Maybe Dead Space, or maybe I'll hold out hope for the Resistance 2 beta this weekend.. LBP next week, of course.. Lots of other games coming out too.

[bobafettjm]

Just finished Mario Galaxy this morning while the wife was playing Viva Pinata: TIP. I must confess that since we picked up the new Viva Pinata, I haven't hardly touched anything else.

[iccanui]

w00t !


Just beat Mass Effect.

What a great game. Great story and environment and really draws you in cause of the choices you have to make. I would like to see even more plot lines play out, but that could take a life time to put in all the choices i would like. Oddly enough i think i would have enjoyed this game more on the console. Im not big into FPS style games on a console, but there is something about the cinematic experience to it and the way you access the weapons that make this a really console friendly game to me personally. I really really hope that mass effect 2 and 3 come to the PS3. I still cant talk myself into getting a xbox, thought im super close.

Ive decided that this is the new gamestyle that i like. This and Grand theft auto 4 have shown me a new level of interaction with modern gaming that i LOVE. Everything else is feeling like a toy compared to these 2 games. Not that its a bad thing they feel like that mind you, just that this is such a engrossing way to play a game. To have the choices you make effect the game and how it plays out and how the game interacts with you is brillant.

The one thing though, that this doesnt have in common with GTA4 is that now that i beat the game its dead. I really wish they had kept it a open world and i could have gone back and done some of the missions i left behind. I know a lot of them tied into the story, but would love to fly around the galaxy and tie up loose ends and stuff. Maybe the next one, i know it would have been a considerable amount more of work.



So yay, finally beat it loved it.

Did I'm guessing you got the PC version then. Is there the bonus quest and area like the 360 version? They may come out with more content as well.

[aerodash84]

After putting it off for awhile now. I finally finished off Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core. I don't know how I feel about it. I really enjoyed the story and the game. Some parts were more frustrating. I think the one thing I got from this game is that Cloud isn't that great of a character and Final Fantasy 7 probably needs to be remade and rewritten a little.

Edit: Someone who's beaten the game please PM me. I nearly shat myself at the end and need to talk to someone about it. If you're a fan you may want to get a PS3 or a PSP. Just saying.

[iccanui]

I dont know, i know there is a patch that has a storyline about a asteroid being attacked or something. And yea, i did the PC version.

Im tempted to play through again with a purely combat layout and being a complete ass in every dialog to see how different it is.

Wow seeing my sentence reposted makes me wish I got more sleep yesterday. Between working on Crisis Core and a night shift work schedule I need more sleep. I still haven't played through Mass Effect mainly because I didn't care for the combat.

[sushicombo]

Am in the midst of playing through Mass Effect for the second time because I am an achievement whore. Well, that and it's probably the best game I've played on the system yet (got my Xbox last Christmas and have been pouring through all I've been missing - beating Gears now as well.)

Loved the game the first time through, as is to be expecting I've finding the second time through tedious for a couple of reasons. First is that I'm playing through on the second highest level as a biotic which, as highlighted in the TRS review, is the least balanced of the classes. What I'm finding though is playing as the biotic forces you to counter your natural Halo/Gears tendencies. You just CAN'T run and gun. The less I do, the more successful I tend to be. But ALSO I'm replaying the game going for the 75 percent renegade points and finding that, while it's more fun to be a dick-a-saurus, the major parts of the story are unaffected by your dickishness. I mean...where's the choice to JOIN Saren? To bring down the galaxy because of your decisions?

Anyway, I'm hoping I can get through it before Gears 2, Left 4 Dead, and COD:WOW come out. It's that time of year again.

[iccanui]

Yea i found that out today. There is no real impact as to which way you act. I mean some things are cut off, but its more like the way to the plot point is cut off, not the plot. The story seems to remain the same so far. But i havent been a totaly dick for 1, i mean when a guy is shot i cant just say " leave him ". There is a point where its not fun to play that bad a person. Though i must admit, im not to the points in the story where i had to really sit back and think about the outcome of my choices. I think i only had about 3 of them in the game and they are more to the middle and to the end. So who knows. Might go play right now. Im playing as a neubian bad ass named Shaniqua. Every chance i can take to be a hard ass without being down right cruel im taking.


Either way, the bottom like is that i cant wait for mass effect 2 and the movie and the MMO. If this keeps up anyway. I find with this game its the presentation and style im liking. I think if they just keep feeding us new content thats of decent quality, i can live in this world for a while. But as a good guy ;)

[brynomite]

I just beat Mega Man 9 last night. It only took me one mystery tank and five energy tanks to beat Dr. Wily. That game is pretty sweet if you haven't checked it out yet.

I also finally played through Psychonauts a few weeks ago. Everyone needs to play that game. It's absolute genius.

Also, to the person that beat Guitar Hero III on hard, WTF? I got completely lost at the Slayer song and gave up. Kudos to you sir/ma'am!

[dolson]

w00t! I finally beat LittleBigPlanet!

Putting Dead Space back in now, until the servers are less swamped. :D

[skin87]

w00t! I just got my 1000th achievement point from Fable 2! It's the first retail game I've 100%'d and I did it in less than a week, kinda weird.

If any of you need help with the doll collector, completionist, gargoyle, or silver key achievements, let me know and I can unlock them for you. (But you should try an do them legit first, why buy the game if you're not gonna play it?)

[scoobydiesel]

i really need to beat something, it has been for ever it seems like...

[damnedeyez]

Finished Dead Space on Monday...I liked the story (and really like the Military suit). I should probably finish S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky, since I stopped it to play Dead Space, though.

[heyseuss]

i really need to beat something, it has been for ever it seems like...

Go get The Warriors on ps2. I completed it on hard 100% recently (didn't unlock anything that I hadn't already unlocked on easy....that I know of :(), but found myself wanting to be back in that game. Luckily you can replay any level, and improve your stats on that level, if need be. I just really enjoy walking around 70's NYC, getting in fights, throwing cops in front of oncoming trains, smashing bottles and bricks on ppl....etc. It's a long game, some levels take a long time and have difficult/annoying requirements to complete.

Want a quick game? Gun the western game on ps2 (although I'd like to hear someone tell me what the PSP version is like). It's beautiful, brilliantly written/voice acted, fairly easy and quick (10-12hrs) game.

I enjoyed the little I did play it on 360 and thought it was pretty fun. I've been meaning to go back and finish it.

[bobafettjm]

Gun is a really fun game. It was one of the first games I beat all the way through on the 360.

[aerodash84]

Actually first game I beat on 360 and probably one of my favorite first owned games was Tomb Raider Legend. Highly recommend it.

[heyseuss]

I think it's all the same on xbox as it was on ps2, but te PSP version is different somehow.

The story compelled me, I was really impressed with it, and kept goin. It was kind of easy to beat (except the end), but not so easy to beat, that you were bored beating it. The scenery is gorgeous, the music is gorgeous - and who doesn't want to shoot bow and arrow dynamite sticks onto ppls feet and watch them run screaming, before they blow into little pieces.

[radzack]

Has anyone beated fallout 3?

[bobafettjm]

Actually first game I beat on 360 and probably one of my favorite first owned games was Tomb Raider Legend. Highly recommend it.

That was the game I beat right after Gun actually. It's a game that doesn't get enough credit I don't think, it is really fun. Up until that game I had always hated the Tomb Raider games as well, so I almost didn't play it.

I'm hoping people check out Tomb Raider: Underworld. It's looking pretty good, and if the studio takes their time between games and make them of higher quality I'd like to see more. I've been hearing the developers need a success w/ it.

[scoobydiesel]

I will prob beat Guitar hero world tour on Med in the next few days...if that counts lol

[skin87]

If you do something that warrants credits being shown, it counts.

[az0madman]

Beat Fable 2 last night. Disappointed by final fight and ending... It was fun, but like the last Fable, it didn't leave a strong impression. I don't plan on replaying a different route.

[ziggy110]

Well I just beat Sonic 2 on the Xbox Live Arcade last night while my wife was asleep.

I am # 25 in the leader boards on sonic 2 on xbla with the max score possible[no cheats either],mite be 26 cant remember
insomniacsquid
and the kissdecay name rite above that used to be my roommate

[bobafettjm]

Forgot to post here that I beat Fable 2 a couple nights ago. Bought it Sunday, beat it late Wednesday night...

I still really enjoyed the game though and now I'm working on side quests and things.

[gi_josh]

I totally kicked Peggle Night's ass.

Yeah, I'm hardcore.

[scoobydiesel]

uh so yea...beat world tour with my buds in band mod deal or whatever. didnt beat all the songs yet snce SOMEONE didnt want to buy the fricken set's

[dolson]

I finished Dead Space. Excellent game, though the ending was a little weak. Leaves pretty much no room for a sequel, IMHO. I liked it more than RE4 though.

[damnedeyez]

There could be another planet...the last scene could lead to a crash or investigation or whatnot. There could be if they got creative with it, but could they come up with something worth a sequel...

its ea....they have something planed.

[dolson]

its ea....they have something planed.

I know, and hopefully it's a totally new story, new characters, but the same Dead Space name, like Final Fantasy and whatnot. I hope... I don't want to know what happened after that final scene. It's fine how it ended.

[dolson]

w00t! I finally beat Resistance 2 single-player!

[scoobydiesel]

no reason to say "finally" the game barley just came out boy lol

anyways, I'm trying to beat Uncharted now :D and LBP

[bobafettjm]

Uncharted is such a good game.

I think I may play Too Human next....

[scoobydiesel]

Yeah I'm really loving it so far, i just was driving around an shooting, which i normaly hate but hey i had fun in uncharted with it(so far anyways) I'm about to get on a jetski thingie, but i saved it...noticed im 48% done....wth 3 hours and 8minutes played....

[rkolegendkiller91]

Im working on Multiple games to beat, some for Achivements some for just fun.
1. Lost Odyssey (how ever u spell it)
2. Spider-man 3 (sadly-yes i know but gotta get a higher Gamerscore)
3. Bioshock-(yay)

[scoobydiesel]

Beat GoW2.
I beat parts of 1 with different people but never just straight on by myself or with a friend so i mght do that later.

Uncharted is still in the works.

[rkolegendkiller91]

Woot beat Gow2

[aerodash84]

2. Spider-man 3 (sadly-yes i know but gotta get a higher Gamerscore)


Have to say Spider-Man 3 wasn't worth playing past beating for more achievements. My frustration with that game was too much.

BTW: has anyone played the new Spider-Man game. I rented it and played past the first fight against Venom and gave up. How the characters were portrayed were just horrible, camera angle was hard to deal with, fighting on building sides wasn't fun when you fall off easily, and when it froze on me I just said enough. Anyone else feel the same?

[az0madman]

After fixing up my PSP screen, I beat Force Unleashed. It's not THAT bad, but for a Jedi, I felt weak at times. Still think light sabers should be able to kill most anything in one hit. And I hate the boss fights. They last 3 times longer than they should. It's epic until my fingers hurt because of all the rapid button pressing. I did like the story and wish I played it on the consoles. Amazon was recently selling the 360 version for $20, but I missed that chance. :( Ah well.

I also beat LBP a while back. Forgot about beating that game actually just because I started playing user levels afterward so it felt like the game never ended. Still haven't gotten around to building more levels because I don't have the time. The time I do have goes to playing more new games.

Up next, try to finish Fallout 3 and Dead Space. Then after school is out, I'll catch up on the good stuff I missed. Though, I'm for sure getting Left4Dead...and maybe Prince of Persia after.

[dolson]

Beat GoW2.

Woot beat Gow2

Congrats you guys, God of War 2 is a great game!

[scoobydiesel]

Tottally mean Gears of War 2 ;)

Its a game about shooting monster thingies on the xbox :-p

[rkolegendkiller91]

Congrats you guys, God of War 2 is a great game!

Wow took me a while to figure out what the hell u were talking about, haha...ahem

[iccanui]

Just beat puzzlequest again. :) Jeez the fighter is like godmode once you get to 30 and get deathbringer. But still a fun game. Actually if you think about it, to me, its one of the best games ever. Im still playing it, even though i beat it twice. Its just the puzzle part of it thats really fun sometimes and will pass time along in extremely boring situations. Best money i spent on a game so far if you consider the dollar vs hours of use.


So w00t again ! :)

[aerodash84]

Wow took me a while to figure out what the hell u were talking about, haha...ahem

If they haven't played God of War 2 though, they really should. All of the God of War games are probably some of the best I've played in awhile. Now if only the 3rd one was coming out soon.

[rkolegendkiller91]

I've played the God of war games its okay, dont really like the whole Hack N slash, but i like the Boss battles.

[7h0m45]

finally got around to playing COD 4 on saturday and finished it up on veteran today.

[samureye]

Beat the L4D demo over and over. Hey, it's a victory, right?

[bobafettjm]

So I finished the story mode of Little Big Planet and Call of Duty: World at War this weekend.

[dolson]

Woot! I finally beat Heavenly Sword! I rented it, played through it on Saturday, finished the final boss fight on Sunday. Wrote a full review, too.

[bobafettjm]

Oh I also forgot to mention that I finished Guitar Hero: Aerosmith as well. That was by far the easiest of the Guitar Hero/Rock Band games I have played. Went through it and got 5 stars on expert on every song in my first try.

[dolson]

Just finished Call of Duty World at War. Didn't like it as much as CoD4.

I also finished all of the offline missions in Crash Commando with a Commando Medal in each. Love that game.

[nuance]

Alright.

This sounds dumb, but I'm about to finish all the puzzles in Tangram Pro on my iPhone.


I've been at it for maybe two months now...

[orly]

When I had beaten Half-Life2, I was so excited I needed to hug someone but everyone was gone at a party and I stayed home sick. =(

[damnedeyez]

So I finally got around to beating Gun...even got 100% on everything. (Though I did need help on the final boss and a 2-3 gold locations)

[heyseuss]

I told ya the end was tricky. Sad that once you get a fast, armoured horse and a cannon gun -there's nothing to do.

What did you think overall ?

[damnedeyez]

I told ya the end was tricky. Sad that once you get a fast, armoured horse and a cannon gun -there's nothing to do.

What did you think overall ?

Overall I enjoyed it...main gripes are, as you said, nothing to do now...and the final boss difficulty was a bit much based on the chapter bosses. Oh, and my horse kept disappearing after missions...sometimes leading to long walks (since I didn't see a run option) to find another.

I kept thinking Ned sounded like Kristoferson and MacGruder sounded like hendriksen...then I checked imdb and found out they were. Some familiar names in the main voices.

I would like to see it updated (especially via some sort of sequel), but I understand why people call it Grand Theft Horse.


Oh, and I did key in to some of what needed to be done with the final guy, threw dynamite and whiskey bombs at the things...never thought of the arrows though, even though you only get them near the end.

[heyseuss]

Overall I enjoyed it...main gripes are, as you said, nothing to do now...and the final boss difficulty was a bit much based on the chapter bosses.

Yeh, it was, a) hard to figure out what to do with the boss, b)just an intimidating final environment. I spent 20 mins learning how to walk backwards so I could keep an eye on him, his TNT sticks and hopefully line a shot up when he was passing the gashole.



Oh, and my horse kept disappearing after missions...sometimes leading to long walks (since I didn't see a run option) to find another.

Yeh, sometimes they do that. For me, and probbly what you are referring to, it happened alot on bounty hunter missions, after I went way out to find and klll the guy, then I'd be walking. Once you learn where horses are hanging out though, it's easier. He jogged lightly, not much running.

I kept thinking Ned sounded like Kristoferson and MacGruder sounded like hendriksen...then I checked imdb and found out they were. Some familiar names in the main voices.

I thought that's who they were, it wasn't until Tom Skerritt showed up that I knew there were real people in the game, that made me go check out their names. I liked the voice of Jenny too.

I would like to see it updated (especially via some sort of sequel), but I understand why people call it Grand Theft Horse.

Can you imagine a new version!?!? That game was made by Neversoft, and that was their first game that wasn't a Tony Hawk.

Oh, and I did key in to some of what needed to be done with the final guy, threw dynamite and whiskey bombs at the things...never thought of the arrows though, even though you only get them near the end.

Yeh, funny how there's tonnes of dynamite ammo at the end huh.

Were you impressed by the story ? It was a giant cliche, but still well told. And really great cutscenes. I loved the ending struggle for main character to get out with the indian brother showing up and the death for MacGruder was fitting. Immediately after that cutscene, I wanted to explore the newly formed terrain. The final scene where you and the indian run out, was on some cool rock/mountain that I would have liked to play on, but I would have liked more out of the map and game in general, once finished.

All the cutscenes were pretty great. At the beginning, after you'd just been attacked by wolves and the cam switches to POV of an animal in the trees watcing Ned, I thought, "Oh, a big wolf is going to get him", and I honestly got a quick fright when the entire screen was filled with roaring bearface. Alot of the cutscenes affected me. 2 things. The great filmy look to the flashbacks the indian told (I love that you get to see a part of the map you roam in, in the past) and the stories he told, and the deathscenes. Jenny, Hoodoo, Reed, Hollister (damn that one is funny), Coltons father the doctor, (when he got his head chopped off, my eyebrows were touching my hairline, not used to seeing that in a game), were all great looking scenes and in Jenny and Reeds case, quite shocking and gruesome. It's a reward, but man was I shocked when Reed got that barrel shoved in his mouth. ..and I read some idiot guy on imdb saying he wished there was an option to turn the blood off so his young kids could play. :rolleyes:

Anyhoo - glad you liked it, let me know if you ever hear anything about a sequel, there's been a petition for one, for a long time.

[sjspring90]

I just finished Fallout 3. What a great game, I think I played it for thirty hours and almost got all of the sidequests finished. Definitely worth it.

[scoobydiesel]

I beat the undertakers road to wrestlmania mode in the new Smackdown vs raw.

It was very odd/dumb ish. Like Im glad that wasnt used for a real feud. and Hope it never will be o_O;

[dolson]

Wow, I have hardly scratched the surface and I'm up to about 27 hours now..

[bobafettjm]

Just finished Fallout 3. Took me around 50 hours. I am still going to go back to a save file before I beat it to finish some things off. I do have to say the way the game ended seemed like a let down.

How much stuff did you miss? Cuz I'm up to about 78 and a half hours now, and I am still finding tons of stuff, and still missing a bunch of trophies / quests.

[bobafettjm]

Theres only about 4 quest achievements I didn't get.

[harvest]

I beat Mirror's Edge last night. I have to say, Dice ruined a near-perfect game by including guns. I can deal with hand-to-hand combat, but getting shot in the back constantly is not fun...

For those moments when you're not being bothered by the fuzz it's one of the funnest gameplay experiences you'll ever have, in my opinion.

[ratabora]

Just finished Deadspace a little while ago. I loved it :) Definitely going to replay it in a harder difficulty once I finish Fallout 3. I'm also at like 20 hours with that game, and I have a feeling I am no where near completion.

[skin87]

Just bumped my Fable 2 score up to 1100 by beating the DLC, now moving on to try and get a 55 rating on Mirror's Edge time trials.

[bobafettjm]

I just finished the Fable II DLC today as well. I thought even though it was short, it was still a pretty good time.

[az0madman]

Finished up the Fable DLC too. I liked it. It got me back into the game to finish getting achievements I skipped over the first time around. I just hope this isn't the last of them.

Next up, s'more Dead Space.

[scoobydiesel]

I beat the story on Undercover, just gunna try and 100% it now.

[rkolegendkiller91]

Beat Call of Duty World At War finally, Never liked the game. Now just gotta beat it on Veteran, Half way there

[scoobydiesel]

Omg N4S:undercover gets harder after you beat the friggin storyline.

I have 4 things left to beat...but the cops wont friggin let me run away o_O;

[rkolegendkiller91]

Oh scooby look out for them Spike Strips...i hear they can be a pain in the ass.

[cucumberboy]

Beat Spore as in finished space stage. That is a long muthaflippin' stage.

[armadeon]

I beat the arcade version of Contra without dying the other day... Damn that was hard!

[bobafettjm]

I beat the arcade version of Contra without dying the other day... Damn that was hard!


Theres no way I could accomplish this task. I remember feeling amazed when I beat it without using the code back in the day on the NES.

[scoobydiesel]

Contra?!?!? holy crap. Yeah you got me beat.


I beat N4S undercover.

[rkolegendkiller91]

Just Beat Call of Duty world at War on Veteran....a lot of frustrating moments, with me saying "WTF" here and there. but hey it was worth it

[scoobydiesel]

World at War is so...i dunno kind of boring to me. I just cant get into it. Maybe its just because ive played so many shooters set in WW2? i dunno i need to try and beat it but i kind of feel as if i might just set the difficulty to normal instead of vet.

[armadeon]

Contra?!?!? holy crap. Yeah you got me beat.


I beat N4S undercover.

lol. I'm trying to beat the world record. I'm still shy by 200,000 points. The game crashed right after I beat it, too, so I couldn't put in my initials (which makes me ineligible to submit my replay to Twin Galaxies.)

If I can pull it off again and I still don't beat the high score, I'll put in TRS as the initials so you'll know it was me.

[jimmylanghe]

Man. This was barely yesterday: the first Gears of War. I played it almost to the end when it first came out, died, and then sorta gave up. My cousin recently bought a 360 and so I've been playing with him every day.

[scoobydiesel]

I been tossing random games in the 360 trying to see what one to beat or get more achievements on.

I have 2 left on Madden 09 so i think im going to try and finish that. I need 2 punt returns for TD and a 50 yard FG(i got but not during a season)

But other then that not sure whats next.

[alicelikesme]

Just beat Gears 2.
First 360 game.

[dgilbert]

Finished Fallout 3 with 109+ hours logged to get the Platinum trophy.

There are still a bunch of places I didn't visit, so I'll probably start a new game in a month or so to check those places out and play the game differently. Next time, very evil, all the way. :D

I have to say I get all excited when I see that other people like getting achievements so much. It's especially fun when competing with someone.

[dolson]

Finally beat Fallout 3! 113 hr, 29 min was my time. lol Got the Platinum trophy too.

[skin87]

I finally got the 46th and final achievement in Mass Effect. I am pretty sure I have put more hours into that game than any other. Bring on some more DLC!

[damnedeyez]

I have yet to go back and play something other than straight Soldier so I can get those "Use _____ 75 times" achievements. When you think of 11 of those plus the 150 medi-gel uses, it starts adding up to a time-sink. At some point I'll want to go back and play it, though I'm curious if it's possible to do all of those with one class or if I should plan on 2 play throughs.

[skin87]

I have yet to go back and play something other than straight Soldier so I can get those "Use _____ 75 times" achievements. When you think of 11 of those plus the 150 medi-gel uses, it starts adding up to a time-sink. At some point I'll want to go back and play it, though I'm curious if it's possible to do all of those with one class or if I should plan on 2 play throughs.

Playthrough again as an Adept. Once you beat the game, your next character you create will be able to select one ability your previous character had. For my adept, I chose to be able to train in Assault Rifles. The minimum amount of playthroughs to get 1050 is 3. I did it in 6. 1 for Soldier skills and story completion, the next for hardcore difficulty plus biotic skills, the next for two allys, tech skills, and completion. Play throughs 4 and 5 were for the final two sets of ally achievements and I the last playthrough was just to get the insanity difficult achievement.

I've done 4 as a straight soldier so far, partly because Insane didn't unlock for me until I beat it twice. Part of me was really hoping the Sentinel (was that the tech/biotic dual?) would have what's required to get all of the tech and biotic achievements, but there seemed too many to be able to do that.

I might go full on each for a run through when I get back to it...and can see myself keeping Ashley around the whole way through.

[bobafettjm]

Finished up getting all the campaign scoring achievements in Halo 3, and some of the multiplayer ones as well.

[jabber]

I finally finished Grand Theft Auto IV on the PS3 last night. My library is limited to PC and PS3 games, so I don't have the Triple-A Xbox 360 titles from which to chose but after finishing the game, I'm ready to give GTA IV my personal Game of the Year Award for 2008. I loved almost everything about the game. There were a few minor frustrations and one WTF moment but overall, I think it was a brilliantly crafted experience.

The cast of characters was interesting, Brucie Kibbutz being my favorite of the supporting cast. I could never hang out with someone that obnoxious in real life, but as a video game personality, he was tons of fun.

A lot of game journalists talk about narrative and there seems to be some difference in opinion about what exactly that word means with regard to video game storytelling. If it defines how the story is told, then I think GTA's "narrative" is a perfect mixture of cutscenes and in-game story development. I loved picking up a buddy to go to a bar and listening to the conversation unfold as we drive to the location. Most of it was just background information on the characters designed to flesh them out but it really created a sense of personality for each one.

I recall reading about and hearing a lot of complaints with the combat system when the game was released. It was a bit odd in the beginning but eventually, once I grew accustomed to it, I enjoyed it. It was really satisfying to be able to crouch behind the trunk of my car to hide from incoming gunfire, pop up to fire off a couple of rounds and manage to nail the filthy drug dealer who was shooting at me. Headshot!

I'm disappointed that the DLC is only available for the Xbox 360 but I guess that means I can move on to something else now. :p

[heyseuss]

For now .... . .

[az0madman]

Yeah, I wished it wasn't exclusive so I could buy the game on PS3. With a game installed (which of course, I'd install GTA4), I barely have 2GB left, which is what I heard the size of the DLC is. Bah. It's all the damn Rock Band songs... And I'm still strongly against the price of the 360 hard drive so woe is me.

I have a feeling Rockstar will make it up to ps3 ppl. Maybe you shoud buy a seperate drive for Rockband.

[dh_jin]

GTAIV again!

it sucks though how i had to replay the whole game to get trophies but i do understand i guess. mmm i hope they do, the DLC looks pretty sweet

[siege911]

I just beat World of Warcraft! w00t!!!.... err... wait a sec... ???

[damnedeyez]

F.E.A.R. 2

::sniffle:: that was kinda sweet.


or I'm just twisted. I've never feared Alma, I'd always wanted to hold her and comfort her...and that ending was...unexpected.

[neverendingwhitelights]

I am so done with Fallout 3, but now I have no clue what to play next and I have a long, long list of games to get to... ughh...

[dolson]

I am so done with Fallout 3, but now I have no clue what to play next and I have a long, long list of games to get to... ughh...

Congrats! I am in a similar position. I beat Fallout a month ago, or so, and still haven't settled on what to play next... It's a tough act to follow. Flower is nice, though.

[neverendingwhitelights]

Congrats! I am in a similar position. I beat Fallout a month ago, or so, and still haven't settled on what to play next... It's a tough act to follow. Flower is nice, though.

I started out loving Fallout, but by the time I had everything I wanted and all my skills to max and all the unique weapons I felt like getting and whatnot, I just didn't like it anymore. All the extra time I had spent going and fetching all these assorted things seemed like a waste of time. So I don't know that I really enjoyed it like I could have.

Irregardless, I'd like to play something withOUT guns in it, but that seems to be becoming more and more rare. As my list of games has guns in about every single one of them, and the ones that don't, I've either beaten already (Prince of Persia), or don't want to play (Midnight Club), maybe I should put it to a vote or something.

[dolson]

Hmm, sorry to hear that... I felt slightly less interested after hitting the level cap, but I still loved it.

Anyhow, here are a few ideas: Heavenly Sword, Assassin's Creed, Eternal Sonata, Flower, Oblivion, GT5 Prologue, Burnout Paradise, Buzz! Quiz TV, LittleBigPlanet, PixelJunk Eden, echochrome, Puzzle Quest, Prince of Persia Classic, Guitar Hero 3, Viking Battle for Asgard, The Last Guy, Dark Kingdom, Elefunk, flOw, Folklore, NHL 09, MotorStorm Pacific Rift.. Just some PS3 ideas based on what I have played and enjoyed. Not sure which system(s) you game on.

I've played, beat, or am going to play all of those. I have a PS3/2/1, PSP, and DS, and I game a little on the PC (been playing some Left 4 Dead). I'm basically only playing games for (or with) trophies, or at least for right now.

My list as of now is basically... Alone In the Dark: Inferno (played the first level), Battlefield: Bad Company (haven't started), Bioshock (played before, would be a trophy run), Buzz! Quiz TV (some trophies left), Call of Duty: World At War (need to finish on Veteran + some other impossible trophies), Dead Space (several left), Far Cry 2 (haven't started), FEAR 2 (haven't started), GTA 4 (second run-through for trophies), LittleBigPlanet (haven't started), Mercenaries 2 (haven't started), Midnight Club: Los Angeles (half left, they're so tough), Mirror's Edge (got speedruns and time trials left basically, not gonna be fun), Resistance 2 (need to finish on higher difficulties and play competitive co-op), Rock Band 2 (got one holdout in the Drum Trainer mode) Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection (haven't started), Warhawk (gonna aim for a good chunk of these trophies at first), Blast Factor (can't do these to save my life), Echochrome (haven't started), Flower (a few stragglers left on this one), Pain (never going to be able to get any on this), Pixeljunk Eden (haven't started), Super Stardust HD (one left, but I can't do co-op by myself).

[projectrico]

Well since I just got layed off recently I have had more time for games. I have beat MGS 4, GTA 4 and played a bunch of Madden 09. Currently I am working my way tru Uncarted and Mirriors edge.

[cucumberboy]

Myst V - End of Ages.

Oh sweet lord... I FINALLY beat it...

[az0madman]

Flower was the latest game I've "beaten." Since you can't really lose, it's not saying much. Great game and probably one of the best end levels of any game.

Also achieved the 200 pigeons and 50 stunt jump completions in GTAIV while I waited for my Lost & the Damned order (via Amazon). So glad that the game didn't crash, or power didn't go out, or even worse, get the red rings while getting them since I rarely saved.

[armadeon]

Just finished up The Lost and the Damned. God, what an extraordinary game.

[dexter]

I finally beat the original Myst game. I played it when it first came out but couldn't beat it, finally got around to trying again. It took 18 years but i did it.

[dolson]

I beat Puzzle Quest last night, finally. A two-week break was all I needed to beat Bane without using spells aside from a couple Stuns and one or two Thrusts, when no better moves were available.

Next should be God of War, as I'm about 3/4 of the way through.

[tokenuser]

My wife and I finally got through Little Big Planet.
Laugh all you like, but playing co-operatively with a spouse adds a level of challenge that you will never find in CoD, Fallout, or any other single player game.

Not all levels were completed at 100%. There are a number of 3x and 4x challenges we couldn't do. We now need to go back though and Ace every level as well, so there is some continued gameplay there for us, and my wife loves the community levels.

So, now we need to figure out the controls for Lego Star Wars on the PS3 so we can waste some time on that instead for awhile.

[dolson]

w00t, I finally beat God of War. Such an excellent game that stands up today, even graphically. 480p widescreen looked surprisingly great on my TV.

I can take on GoW2 any time now, but I am not sure if I want to jump right in or play something else first.

[heyseuss]

The story starts straight after 1, but I wouldn't rec. something else first. GOW is a bit manic on th ebutton maching to me sometimes. I also get sick of the camera after a long time of playing. I'd go for some completely different kind of game.

P.S. Congratulations on getting out of hell !

[damnedeyez]

Definitely take a break between the two...keep yourself/gameplay fresh.

[az0madman]

Beat the Lost and the Damned. That was a fun ride, but it definitely doesn't have the depth that Niko had. Felt like it could've been longer in terms of story, but for $20, it was worth it. Can't wait for the next expansion.

[vegan]

I finally put down P4 after 105 hours. Good times.

[bobafettjm]

Finished Halo Wars tonight. Overall I would say it was a really fun game. I ended up playing through about 2/3 of the levels co-op. Co-op is such a great experience in this game, a lot more fun than single player.

[jabber]

I finished Fallout 3 last night and loved every moment of it. I managed to do all but two of the side quests. I'm missing a few of the achievements like Weaponsmith and Silver Tongued Devil but I can do those when the next two DLC packages are released. Bethesda did an outstanding job taking an existing franchise and giving it a new direction.

[scoobydiesel]

Im so close to beating resident evil 5. on the last level/boss whatever.

[bobafettjm]

Finished getting all 1000 gamerscore on Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection. I also finished the story mode of Peggle on the 360.

[stubadub]

I finally beat RE5, and now I'm going back in to replay the story and give Mercenaries mode a go. Mercenaries was one of the greatest things about RE4, and now it supports online multiplayer.

[Infinity_Man]

The game for me that was a "Yes! I finally beat it!" moment, was Rising Dead on 360. I beat it the easy way ages ago, but about 4 months ago I finally beat it the real complete way.
God, what a great game, and even a really engrossing story.

[bobafettjm]

So I finally beat Blue Dragon. It took me around 70 hours. I really enjoyed this game a ton, it was WELL worth the $10 I bought it for, it would have been worth $60 easily for me. Great game if your into the old school JRPG games.

[scoobydiesel]

I got 10 wins online on Street Fighter 4....

[blacksymbiote]

Picked up the Penny Arcade Episode 1 game. Found it really funny with a great atmosphere. Well worth the 800 point sale price. Quite proud of myself for not giving up and getting all the achievements. Some of them were tricky at first, but eventually managed to get them all. :D

[dylangiacon]

Just fully completed Puzzle Quest Glalctrix.

Beat all the story mode missions and side missions. Also just managed to craft the Gamma Sphere (which took about 100 attempts), but it was worth it.

Where to now?

[comicbookchris]

I recently unlocked Akuma and Gouken in Street Fighter 4 after all the arduous task you have to perform. W00T!!!! Now if I can get a good online streak going, I'll be Riverdancing ecstatically to the sounds of my opponent getting flattened!!!

[everybodystalking]

I was well on my way to completing Wheelman and my PS3 just died. Now it won't even come on and I have to send it in. Good thing I argued my way into free servicing, damn things are never in warranty when they break.

Now it looks like I won't be able to transplant the original hard drive or something. All that hard work. Gone. This is ridiculous. What am I gonna do? I spent hundreds of hours into those gamesaves, and now I have no way of getting them back? Say it ain't so.

[bobafettjm]

Finished King Kong on the 360. I had heard that it wasn't a very good game, but wow it was pretty boring.

[dustin81783]

I beat the story line in Fable 2 finally! I have a bad habit of playing games halfway through, then quitting for 3-4 months and picking back up again.

Now, it's time for some of the side quests I have left!

[geekdw]

Super Mario 64 and Zelda Ocarina of Time

[blacksymbiote]

Finally got the Road Dog achievement in Rock Band 2. It's a small victory, but it's taken quite a while and I'm happy. :)

[bobafettjm]

I was pretty happy about getting that achievement as well. I also just got the impossible band challenge achievement which was pretty awesome.

[blacksymbiote]

Did you get the one where you never pause the game? hmm, I guess I could always just spy on your achievements by comparing games with you since you're in my friend's list :P

EDIT: nvm, I was thinking about the Endless Setlist... I just unlocked it... it scares me

[dolson]

Just finished Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay (2009).

I am typing this as the credits roll. I played through on normal difficulty. At one point, I died so many times I switched the difficulty to Easy, and then I immediately regretted it and reset the game without even playing a single checkpoint. I hope that doesn't affect my trophies (I didn't notice any unlock yet.. maybe at the end of the credits?).

Anyhow, it was quite excellent. I regret missing it on Xbox, but hey, I got to experience it in HD for my first time.

The mech sequence was pretty good, but not as good as MGS4's mech stuff.

Up next, Assault on Dark Athena. But not tonight. May save it for later, I haven't decided yet... Lots of games to play.

[bobafettjm]

Haha yea the endless set list. I did it in Rock Band 1, but haven't been brave enough to attempt it in Rock Band 2.

On another note I got the achievement for getting an Overkill (I think thats what it is called) on a free for all ranked playlist in Halo 3. I was pretty happy as I am not a huge Halo player.

[bobafettjm]

So even though I didn't technically beat anything, I did finally get over 50k achievement points.

[aerodash84]

Finally beat Resident Evil 5. I'm going through and upping the difficulty and farming money and points for the bonus stuff. I can't believe how hooked I am on this game. If I'd bought Devil May Cry 4 it probably would've been the same situation.

[bobafettjm]

Ended up beating the XBLA game Arkadian Warriors co-op with my wife. There is quite a bit of content in that game for a $10 game.

[jonny126]

w00t just a few hours ago, I finished CoD4 on Veteran, AND in the same day, got Rock Band 2's Bladder of Steel Achievement. Good day.

[dolson]

I'm playing through BioShock, finally. Had too many other games to play through and whatnot, and now that I got a new surround system, I figured it'd be time to jump back in. And Jeff is right. It's awesome.

EDIT: Whoops, wrong thread. LOL

[bobafettjm]

Finally got around to beating Castle Crashers tonight.

[dolson]

Just beat BioShock. Rescued all. It was sad, but a really great game. I'm not sure how I feel about BioShock 2 yet. I will give it a chance for sure.

[skin87]

Just beat PQ Galactrix. It was a lot harder than Warlords. I think on the first one I beat it while around level 35. Galactrix I was lvl 41 and I had to spend a lot of time mining to be able to buy a Capital class ship before I could take out the Gamma Sphere.

[bobafettjm]

So tonight I finished up the extra missions that you get with the Broken Steel download for Fallout 3. This is the first DLC I have gotten from this game. I really liked the quests and they seemed to be pretty good length. I love using the Tessla Cannon a lot too.

I have to say I am also really liking the fact I can level up past 20 now. This is the primary reason I bought this DLC first, so that while I play through the others I will be able to level up. I'll probably pick up that disk that is coming out with Anchorage and The Pitt on it.

[blacksymbiote]

Just got 1000 in Spider-Man: Web of Shadows. Playing evil is just too cool!

[az0madman]

I wish they would've release the 20 level cap break first. I already maxed out and explored aaaall areas before DLC. Loved the game that much.

[stayambiguous]

Just beat Uncharted.

Made me super siked for Uncharted2. It was amazing, but the whole zombie's thing was a little bit lame. I loved how it was like this "just a ton of dudes in a jungle with automatic's and walls", and the zombies just cheapened it.

Slowly grinding through my gamefly list, I've been outa the game loop for so long, cannot wait until summer.

[jabber]

Just beat Uncharted.

Congratulations! I loved that game, but agree with you about the supernatural critters at the end. That's the same problem I had with the first Far Cry.

Speaking of Far Cry, I just finished Far Cry 2. The first couple of hours felt awkward and uncomfortable and the seemingly endless number of guardposts full of armed gunmen was so irritating that I almost stopped playing. I kept at it though because I'd heard so many good things about the game and once I locked into a weapon load-out and attack strategy that worked well for me, the game's fun factor increased tremendously.

Now I suppose I'll keep playing Gun with Rebel FM Game Club until Damnation comes out in two weeks.

Congrats. I thought it was a great game, and I actually loved the part you hated. I knew it was coming, though, because someone posted a spoiler on a forum - kinda like you just did. :p Hopefully you were the last person left who hadn't completed it.

By the way, if you didn't know yet, if you are an annual subscriber to Qore before May 15th, OR if you purchase inFamous, OR if you win a code from a site such as mine, you can get into the Uncharted 2 multiplayer beta. You probably knew that, but just in case. ;)

[az0madman]

Just finished up Wolverine. Next time, they should write the movie. Though the ending with Kayla was a bit weird. I think up next for this developer should be a new beat-em up X-Men game like this one but with other characters. Maybe a rebirth of Mutant Apocalypse. If only...

[bobafettjm]

[az0madman]

Just beat the latest Fable II DLC. What a short disappointment. I'm not sure what I was expecting to get out of it, but the new quests weren't all that fun and no cool items. More achievement points I suppose which throws in more replay value, but Knothole was the better of the two (price might reflect that).

The whole 'see the future' wasn't anything special, sadly. I was partially expecting a glimpse into where the Fable series was headed, but didn't get that.

[dgilbert]

I beat inFamous late Saturday night playing through with Evil karma on Hard.

I spent a few hours afterwards trophy whoring: completing the side missions, the stunt list, and maxing out my Karma upgrades. By the time I finished those, it was 4:30am and since my kids usually have me up by 8:00am, I figured I ought to get some sleep. :rolleyes:

I'm still about 50 blast shards shy of the Rockhound trophy. I'm not sure whether I'm better off hunting down those last shards on this save, or trying again when I play through with Good karma, and checking them off a map showing the locations of all the shards. I'm leaning towards the latter, if only because I spent SO many hours looking for the final pigeon in GTA4 (never did find the GD thing, either).

[everybodystalking]

I just beat inFAMOUS too, my personal victory was finding every last blast shard. Such a pain. What's terrible is the official strategy guide was missing like 6-7 shards on it, but with some help (and knowing how many were in each district), I finally got it done.

Now the only trophy left for me is the Hard Finish, it sounds a little daunting for me right now, but then again I may want to get it done now while I still know what I'm doing. If I do I think I'm gonna do it as Good, since I had an easier time with that.

[jabber]

I finished Valkyria Chronicles last night. There was one very videogame-y boss fight, which seemed odd compared to the rest of the game but since the game is so amazingly wonderful, I'll over look that one little flaw. Thanks to Jay_Ray for the recommendation.

Now I'm going to play inFamous so I know what you kids are talking about.

[dh_jin]

MUHAHAHA

just got all the trophies in flower!!!

gonna try and find Valkyria Chronicles online actually?

If you click in the left stick to locate sources of electricity, the shards also show up. I know it seems obvious, but I wanna ask - did you realize that? If so, I guess I'm going to give up my dream of finding all the shards, because I hate hunting for needles in haystacks.

Also, I heard (I think through IGN) that playing as Evil in Hard was easier, because you could kill innocents and it wouldn't be bad for your evil karma. I haven't finished playing as Good yet, myself (only about half-way done Neon). I'm actually focusing on other games right now. But inFamous is great so far.

Well, unless you keep track of where you've been in city when press L3, there's a chance you might miss some since the map shows such a small portion. I wish instead of the percentage for trophies, they gave you it based on completion of each island.

Evil is definitely easier, especially when you consider (without spoilers) the choice you have to make near the end of the game. And you get in less fights since you don't have to worry about saving people as much. Though it does get annoying when the bystanders start throwing rocks at you...

[bobafettjm]

Finished Plants Vs. Zombies today. Man this was such a fun game. I was very surprised at how much fun I had with it, played it for hours at a time.

[dan1]

X-men Origins Wolverine. I quit for a few days after dieing a lot on deadpool then I came back today and beat him the first try.

[heyseuss]

Yes, I did. My problem was finding a map that had all the shards actually on it, even the one from the official guide was missing like 6. Once I did that, I found the ones they missed, put them on the map and went to every single dot, and marked it off after. There's also a couple that aren't easy to catch because they're either very high up, or otherwise out of radar range unless you're looking for them specifically. I finally got them all though.

Also, I heard (I think through IGN) that playing as Evil in Hard was easier, because you could kill innocents and it wouldn't be bad for your evil karma. I haven't finished playing as Good yet, myself (only about half-way done Neon). I'm actually focusing on other games right now. But inFamous is great so far.

That may be true for most, but I know my Good playthrough was a lot easier when I played on Easy versus evil on Easy. With evil I was always searching for power sources to fuel my bigger energy weapons, with good powers I could just throw bolts at them to refuel, helps keep pressure on them, and helps me. Not as damaging, maybe, but definitely more staying power once you upgrade the lightning bolt to level 2 & 3 due to the energy (and health on headshots) regen.

[gojira]

I finally finished Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon for the DS. I love the GBA and Gamecube Fire Emblem games, but I never really got hooked on this one. It was mostly due to the poor character design and story. It's still a very well made game as far as the strategy aspect goes. But usually I find characters that I end up really liking and take pleasure in seeing them level up and become stronger. There are a lot of characters in Shadow Dragon, but none of them are particularly interesting visually. Also none of them really have any kind of personalities. This is a remake of the very first Fire Emblem that was released on the Famicom (Japanese NES). So that may be the source of the shortcomings of the game. But since the game was never released in the West, there's no nostalgia to make up for it.

But usually I find characters that I end up really liking and take pleasure in seeing them level up and become stronger. There are a lot of characters in Shadow Dragon, but none of them are particularly interesting visually. Also none of them really have any kind of personalities. This is a remake of the very first Fire Emblem that was released on the Famicom (Japanese NES). So that may be the source of the shortcomings of the game. But since the game was never released in the West, there's no nostalgia to make up for it.

Gratz.

Don't you have a Wii? A really cool feature of the Fire Emblem for Wii is one-handed play. You can just kick back on your couch with a beer/root beer/water/whatever in one hand, Wii Remote in the other, and just play.

Technically beat Rock Band Unplugged. I got to the credit screen, but there's still more to do.

I just beat Metal Gear Solid 4. Fucking epic. I might go back through and play it on a tougher difficulty. The last fight was amazing.

Beat Hour of Victory today on the 360. Mediocre in every sense of the word. I think I ran through and melee killed everyone for 80% of this game. I think if they would have spent another couple of months polishing it up it could have been decent, but as it stands it is a very buggy ho hum game.
