Topic: Last Game You Beat

Just finished Ninja Gaiden 2 Black last night. Wonderful game I was not expecting. Bring on NG4!

@Banjo- The Wii version 8s the only way I will play this game due to the controls. Maybe it's because that's how I first played the game but it just feels so satisfying playing as Vader and using the Wiimote to force choke your enemies, then pulling down a Star Destroyer. They really made good use of the motion controls for that game.

Finished Alan Wake 2 this weekend...Man, what a ride. Absolute masterpiece. Now I need to catch up on Ninja Gaiden 2 Black

Visions of Mana. It was a solid jrpg. I think I like trials just a bit more but visually this game was the better of the two, naturally. Similar gameplay, but I like the multiple choices you have for characters in trials, and I feel like the combat was slightly better. Although, I really can't put my finger on why. All and all, glad I played it.

@NintendoByNature Sounds solid man. I played Trails years ago via a repro cartridge before it was given a western release in fact my cartridge is labeled Secret of Mana 2 lol. Sounds like Visions is another solid game in the series.

@Tasuki worth a shake when you have some time. It's got all the mana tropes you'd expect from the elementals, to the items, and the silly characters. It's good fun. Have you played the trials remake yet? It's regularly $20

@NintendoByNature Not yet. I have the Mana Collection on Switch but only played Final Fantasy Adventure and of course Secret of Mana on that. Trials is included on it as well. As for the Remake is it available on Xbox? I thought it was only a PS exclusive.

@Tasuki it's on gamepass dude!! I played years ago on switch

@NintendoByNature LOL tells you much I pay attention to Gamepass. Hopefully it will still be there when I get around to it.

Alone in Dark

I had a really nice time with this one. Clocking in at just under 8hrs for me, it was the perfect length for a survival horror game. To be honest, it was more heavy on exploration, light on the horror, but still had some jump scares. Setting was one of the better ones in a horror game( old creepy mansion in the bayou). Cast of characters were pretty great too. Only problem were some game crashes which isnt too big a deal since you can save manually most of the time, and some visual glitches. Other than that, it was solid. 7.5/10

@NintendoByNature Nice to read your opinion on it. That's a game that's in my backlog but I think I will hold off untill October to play it, just seems like the best time too.

So have you started Avowed yet?

@Tasuki I plan on starting as soon as I finish up DQIII. I need to get that game over with so I don't want any distractions. Should be in a day or two.

@NintendoByNature Ah I thought you already finished that one lol. Seems like you have been playing that one for a while now.

@Tasuki I wish man. It's been a SLOG. You can't turn off random encounters which makes traversal grueling. I'm headed to the last dungeon later tonight hopefully. My goal is to be playing avowed by Thursday night if all goes according to plan and I get to game tonight.

@NintendoByNature Yeah those old school RPGs can be like that. I think Final Fantasy Pixal Remasters had an option where you can adjust the encounters or turn them off all together. Is there no option like that in DQIII?

@Tasuki no option on this like the pixel remasters. I also like that you can increase EXP x 1.5 or 2 times making grinding much better. This does not have that either. Kinda stinks

@NintendoByNature So, you really have to go old school in this one. That's something I probably could have handled when I was younger, but now... Looks like I will probably pass on DQIII.

@Tasuki yep. After 15 long grinding hours, I dropped to easy difficulty which doesn't let your party get whiped out but instead, drops HP to 1. It's defeats the purpose, sure, but my time is limited.

Silent Hill 2 Remake . A sort of a deatour..
