What was the last game you finished?

[Ami]

Just finished Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Remastered. It took me a while longer, but as I wanted to record a Let's Play, I was uploading around 20-25 minutes a day. I finished on Hard (never really gone beyond Normal mode before) and it was somewhat of a challenge. Crushing will be fun, I intend to stream it.

 

[RedFFWolf]

Majora's Mask - This game is an intricate masterpiece! Every time I played it, I would experience something new in Clock Town. Loved it so much. So sad now...

 

[Ami]

Just finished Telltale's Back to the Future. Have really enjoyed it this time around and I think it's time I finally got around to watching the trilogy.

 

[Ami]

Assassin's Creed: Syndicate.

Fantastic game, loved that it was in Victorian England and although the final fight was easier than most of their predecessors' ones, I thoroughly enjoyed the ending.

 

[Max Caulfield]

Just finished playing Dishonored a couple days ago. Now in the middle of playing FFVII and Fallout 4.

 

[Cthulhu]

Red Faction: Guerilla. It's been on a list in the back of my head for aeons, nabbed it secondhand along with Armageddon for a tenner.

Overall it's a pretty mediocre game; meh graphics, meh story, meh music, meh gameplay (open world repeated missions), but it doesn't drag on too badly so that's okay. It's mostly a tech demo for its destruction physics, which are very nice - although why do I have to take out literally all of the walls and supports (all around a building) before it collapses? I hope they fixed that bit of lack of physics realism in Armageddon.

Jeanne d'Arc for PSP - it was quite an enjoyable SRPG that managed to surprised
me multiple times. The story itself was pretty basic, I mean, it told an anime'd version of the tale of Jeanne d'Arc (duh), but it actually went darker than I thought it would. I've been on a SRPG kick lately, with the game I'd finished before Jeanne being Fire Emblem: Awakening (which also surprised me with a rather dark story element), and now I'm playing Tactics, much to Force's delight.

Fire Emblem was pretty easy, although I'm pretty sure I played it on Easy due to wanting to get through it as I have a rather extensive backlog right now. Jeanne definitely proved to be harder. There were multiple times that I would spend 45 minutes on a battle only to lose it at the end, which was frustrating, but encouraged me to develop new strategies and try again the next night. There aren't a ton of guides for the game online, and the ones that I did find were quite vague, so it made it extremely satisfying when I was able to finally figure out the right combo of skills to equip in order to beat a battle that had taken me three to four times to win. I'm not far enough into Tactics to really say how it compares on the difficulty scale, but I'm looking forward to finding out.

Devil May Cry 4. A great example of a pretty conventional story told very well. Although

Spoiler

I wanted to see Credo live, or at least someone care about him.

 

[Cthulhu]

DMC 4 is a valid game, I should get it for PS3 and play it again sometime. Same with DMC 3.

 

[JechtShotMK9]

I just finished a playthrough of Golden Sun, and finished spending a whole frickin' hour typing in the Gold Password to send my stuff over to The Lost Age.

Totally worth it, though. Best JRPG's ever made, outside of a few of the better FF games.

 

[Cthulhu]

Did they ever make more installments, or did the company that made those games ever make moar / other games?

There was another game made for the DS, called Golden Sun Dark Dawn, made in 2010, I believe. It didn't do as well, and the series is currently in limbo. It's still enjoyable, though not on the level of GS/TLA.

Camelot has done lots of games.

Mario Golf and Tennis, apparently,

 

[Ami]

Just finished Telltale's Game of Thrones for PS3. My God, the framerate for

the big battle in Ironrath

were horrendous and the audio was waaay behind. Glad it's done now, though.

I didn't know you were into Red Faction, I love that series.

Guerilla is great (everything becomes a lot less "meh" the longer you play). Armageddon has great destruction physics, but Armageddon is a linear chapter based shooter which IMO was a great loss for the series. It's also fucking ridiculous in terms of story. Seriously. Maybe you'll prefer that, idk. The game has a "shine" to it that's missing from Guerilla but it just gets boring. It has one of the most fun weapons I've ever used in a video game though: a magnet gun. It has two "shots" and when you shoot two things they rip apart whatever they were on (walls, people etc) to get back to each other.

 

[Ami]

Also finished Beyond: Two Souls last night.

I've enjoyed the playthrough a bit more this time on PS4 because there are a few things and scenes I've missed that I've discovered, even though I've played the game so much for PS3.

 

[Cthulhu]

I didn't know you were into Red Faction, I love that series.

I wasn't, or not really, else I would've gotten it sooner instead of when it was €5 per game,

 

[Gym Leader Devil]

This War of Mine, which I somehow managed to do with no deaths at all, no one leaving the shelter or even getting broken/depressed, no bad karma leading to unpleasant fates after the war, nothing bad at all (even with two smokers and a coffee addict among my household). Unless you count the brigands and such, they got the bad cause I had all the guns. And knives. And axes. Good times.

 

[Abortedj]

While waiting for FF13 to install through Steam (thanks again Lex) I finished Assassin Creed Unity. It wasn't bad, but not as good ass AC2, or Brotherhood. Found it very off putting that all the French people had english accents. Still, was worth a play through. Then I started FF13, but this thread isn't about that.

 

[Clement Rage]

Heavy Rain.. Seems like I made a lot of bad decisions and missed a lot of button prompts, but got through with only minimal cheating

Spoiler

Redid things so as not to shoot Nathaniel, and the Butterfly trial so as not to be half cooked to death, but otherwise took things as they happened, and got through with everyone alive (except Lauren and Scott.) Is there any way to keep all four playable characters alive?

 

[Abortedj]

I guess I just finished World of Warcraft. Just killed the last raid boss on Heroic, so there is no more end game content to do. Leaves me in a rather bad position in the game, as the only other aspect of it I like is collecting mounts, and the only ones left for me to get are Raid drops (which can only be tried for once a week), and PVP mounts (and I don't enjoy PVP on any level). So... it seems I am done. Till more content is available in a year or so.

 

[Flintlock]

Tomb Raider (2013). Pretty good fun, though I was seriously disappointed that the last fight was actually just a quicktime event.

 

[Abortedj]

Well in the waiting room at doctor, Monster Hunter 4. Being able to jump on monsters backs for stabs make this game much easier. Now I wait for number 5.

 

[Obsidian Fire]

The Talos Principle.

And it looks like Portal 2 has a good competitor for best first person puzzle game. And kudos to the dev team for turning nearly every "are robots people or not?" trope on it's head.

 

[Abortedj]

Shovel Knight on 3ds. Short, but good.
