Gaming What was the last videogame you beat?

Just realized...I kinda never beat video games anymore. I think with each decade I come less and less close to beating a game. lol

Grand Theft Auto series... nope
Red Dead ... nope.
Elder Scrolls .... nope
Doom (the last one) ... nope
The Witcher ... not even close
Assassin's Creed ... nope
Zelda ... pff, I wish.

You'd have to go back to PS1 days
Tomb Raider, all of them, Doom Remake, Katamari Damacy, Kings Field, FF7,

 

Nope, the Arkham Knight's tank suddenly spawned under the GCPD (a known issue) and the forums say I need a controller to make the game load a previous save...

 

I've been playing Doom on the PS one. I feel guilty because I used the level select cheat. But to do that (you have to start the game and then pause it) you need the big weapons, as the later levels are hard.

 

My favorite part of Doom was trying to 'get outside'. Every once in a while there would be a shot of the outside world, green hills. gray sky, peering through a window. I mean, it was just a painted background. But at 15 I was like..I wanna get outside the map.

 

Yes the atmosphere is amazing. The PS one game has really spooky music which I like better than the PC guitar rock. @DarkGingerJedi I just saw your King's Field post. I LOVE that game. The second one too.

 

I love the Crash Bandicoot games but I hate those running into the screen levels. When the big boulder is chasing you. I must have gotten flattened by that boulder 30 times.

 

Are you playing through this series for the first time? Oh boy, you're gonna be amazed at the quality jump from the first to second game. I gave the first one an 8/10 while the next three got the easiest 10/10's I've ever given.

 

Yep now you've made it through the mediocre one and can go play the great ones.

 

I'm the weirdo who rates the first Uncharted game really highly. Sure, there's a loooooooooot of combat, but I felt some of the later games never strung their encounters together in a way that flowed well enough. Which is probably better for story terms, but since I love the basic run and gun style, having a bunch of those one after the other can be fun in its own way. Though 2 still blew it out of the water in terms of variety

As for what I've recently played, last game I beat was Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, one of the best in the series for me. Story, the open world, the ship mechanics, it all works perfectly together. I'm doing a full series marathon as I habitually do (AC is basically my comfort food in terms of gameplay) and onto Rogue, which is... mixed, to be charitable. It's a both overstuffed and undercooked mess of a game, that does have some charms that shine through (stealth gameplay is much more enjoyable than in IV and some of the locations are cool). Boy howdy is the story complete trash though, which is a real shame since it's a prequel to AC3, my favourite of all, and a sequel to the aforementioned ACIV (the AC timeline is weird ).

 

Good I am so happy you moved right on..that train sequence is one of the best opening sequences ever.

 

Arguably THE best opening sequence. Besides having brilliant action packed gameplay, it also sets up a great mystery when it takes you back in time so you have to keep playing to find out just how he got in that situation.

 

One of the worst UC1 bits was that Cathedral section where you have to do lots of jumps perfectly, without checkpoints. There a couple of others like it earlier - scaling the fort I think, but UC2 really improved on these.

 

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, just in time for its 10-year anniversary

 

Finished up the original STALKER with the mod that fixed the many, many bugs in it (but it was still a delightful game!) Halfway through the prequel, then onto Call of Pripyat, the best of the bunch.

 

I'm playing Alien Trilogy and Dark Forces on the Psone. They are fun, although you can't see at all when you go into dark caves or tunnels.

 

Sniper Elite 4 It's a fun game with great mechanics. The AI is pretty good-- clever enough to make it challenging (e.g., they notice when a comrade is missing). The Kill Hitler and Deathstorm missions are the hardest to get through without being detected.

 

Just finished Mass Effect 1 for the first time

Great Story, sets up 2 & 3 nicely (already finished those) but I never want to drive the Mako ever again.

Replaying ME2 now but with an imported story.


I've decided to hang fire on Ghost of Tsushima until I get the PS5 then I'll try it again

 

I just beat the main campaign of Assassin's Creed Odyssey. It's my first AC game and I didn't know what to think of it at the beginning, but after a few days of playing it really began to grow on me. The combat is fun (though frustrating at times because I'm not the best gamer), the voice acting was good (I chose Kassandra) and the overall story was okay, as well. What I most enjoy is that there is a lot to do. So, even though I finished the campaign, I still have on the docket: the Cultists, the

Spoiler

Atlantis quest

, the regular-degular quests, those extended (blue-icon) quests, and the arena stuff.

After I wrap up all of that, I'm going to jump into the FFX + X-2 HD Remaster. I'll do FFX first and then come back around to X-2 after playing another game.

 

Oh I finished Yakuza Kiwami and moved on to Yakuza Kiwami 2. Kiwami wasn't as good as 0, but few things are. It was still very good. I am happy about Kiwami 2 so far but also don't think I will finish it before the PS5 comes out and I start Miles Morales and then Valhalla.... So yeah. Don't know when exactly I will be able to substantially progress on my Yakuza journey.
