I appreciate that you beat games, which is more than most of this board can say, but do you genuinely enjoy the same (well, “same” since games across retro systems are not always identical) Disney game 5 times?

Rather have people posy about games they dropped and to why or what?

[Anonymous No.10524339]

>>10524245
No... it's just that I'm sort of autistic so when my hyperfocus is on an IP and/or video games I can beat them more regularly. Also, I tend to go for titles that aren't too difficult, nor too long, so I can often beat them on the day I pick them up.

>>10524250
Well, a lot of the times it's just me being quite curious to see how the versions differed, if they were almost the same then I can finish fast since I already know what to do, and if they're unique it's a whole new playthrough and I find it fun for it being new and different alone. With GG/SMS I find that I enjoy the SMS version for visibility, as it's got a bigger screen resolution, but GG has a lot more color and looks nice with LCD shaders, again it's just me being autistic about it I guess.

>>10524256
Of course! I actually beat a lot more than 38, but I tried making a list with only stuff I beat for the 1st time, though I love replaying my favorites on days where I need something more comfortable to cool down from stress and just enjoy playing.

>>10524278
If I went into detail with everything, I wouldn't have enough characters, since the limit is 2000, of course I could write more than just an OP, but then I'd end up making a blog out of this, usually when I really liked what I just beat, I make a new thread dedicated to it so I can discuss it with /vr/ and all. I don't see video games as a checklist...

[Anonymous No.10524349]

>>10524339
You’re good ignore the embittered faggots on here who hate everything including retro games but are here for some reason. Seeing someone else (yourself) playing and enjoying games reminds them of their misery, it’s a mirror. Good thread, although I can’t play the same game like you can so I usually look for the agreed upon “””best””” version. I will make an exception for handheld versions as they’re often times radically or entirely different games, I really enjoy seeing that difference.

[Anonymous No.10524365]

>>10524349
I get that, in a way I miss having traditional handhelds for that reason alone, nowadays it's all just a single version, sure most of the handheld ports from the 2000's and 2010's, before that whole part of the industry sort of died, were shovelware, but there were gems here and there, and when I like an IP and/or video game, it's cool to see other versions, it's like having 2 chocolate bars instead of just 1, which is absolutely dope.

Cheers, anon!

[Anonymous No.10524370]

>>10524365
I don’t know what the modern equivalent of that is if it even exists. Switch games are obviously the same, mobile games are always gacha trash. Maybe pico 8 demakes are the closest we get to a “handheld version” lol

[Anonymous No.10524378]

>>10524370
True, I should probably look more into them, I know they're a thing, but I rarely dive deeper into them than that, perhaps it's about time I did. I've grown to really resent the mobile market more than all others because of this, it should've been the replacement to something I really liked, but instead it's just microtransactions and/or ad filled garbage that's downright insulting at times.

I love your mentality, anon! It's alright, we all have tough years, but the fact you're able to keep a positive attitude is something to be proud of! Also, you managed to finish a lot of good stuff too.

>>10524332
It's alright, video games are about fun, not really completion, unless you're into completion, but then that's a personal thing. SEGA CD is quite dope, what titles do you like in it?

>>10524386
Of course you're not a bad person, anon! It's fine to not finish what you play, let's be honest most of us had trouble with NES and SNES/Genesis titles as kids due to their difficulty and never finished them anyways, and that's just fine. Also, congratulations on Super C, it's tough, but you did it, and with a friend too, which is always way more fun!

>>10524395
It's always nice to discover new stuff, isn't it? I'll be honest that I struggle with leaving my comfort zone sometimes, but then again it's just a fun hobby, so I should overthink.

I feel kinda bad for not having able to complete many games this year, but at least i dipped my toes into different styles and found some stuff i was really into
DDS2, Suikoden 2 and Aria of Sorrow have become some of my favorite games ever, and im really glad i got to experience them

[Anonymous No.10524426]

I don't think you should feel bad, it's all about quality over quantity afterall, it isn't about the numbers, it's about the experiences, and you've had good ones, which is what matters most.

>>10524339
If I can repeat, then I'd say most Natsume, Capcom and Konami games from the 4th-gen. In fact, I mostly play that gen, with some exceptions from the 3rd and 5th gen. Staples in my finished games are:
>Mega Man (2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and Bass)
>Mega Man X (1 through 4)
>Castlevania (Super IV, Bloodlines and Rondo of Blood)
>Contra (Spirits and Hard Corps)
>Super Mario World (and Yoshi's Island)
>Sonic the Hedgehog (1 and 2)
>Pocky & Rocky (1 and 2)
>Wild Guns
>The Ninja Warriors Again
>Shinobi III (and Shadow Dancer)
>Gunstar Heroes
>Twinkle Tale
>Super Metroid
>Zelda: A Link to the Past
>Bomberman (Super 1 through 4, '94 and Saturn)

And some more. I do what I can to beat each once a year. If I'm feeling like it, I may try a new game, but that mostly doesn't end well.

I think a lot of us have these staples we always go back to, it's like comfort food, but with video games! I tend to replay titles that I know are quick to go from start to finish, and that won't be too easy, nor too difficult, just that sweet spot of picking it up, struggling a bit, but ultimately getting to the end in about an hour or less... it's just comfortable. A lot of good stuff there, anon!

>>10524454
Thanks! I try to be as positive as I can, afterall life can already be hard enough, I come here to talk to people and relax, we shouldn't stress out one another, of course some shitposting can be fun here and there, but even then I try to be funny, and not to piss someone off, it's just not needed, though I get that it's part of 4chan's identity at this point so I try to shake it off. Cheers, anon!

>>10524462
A lot of superb stuff! May I recommend Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin in case you want to try out something new? I played it earlier this year, after already being familiar with the Genesis version, and it added animated cutscenes, which are so fun, and a pseudo open world with great levels and gameplay, I was pleasantly surprised when I picked this one up, definitely recommend it.

Damn, not going to lie. Reading that really changed my perspective on a lot of things. How I want to approach things, situations, people. I think you have it right, and I've had it wrong for far too long. I think this was an insightful and enlightening post, even if many would call it simple and obvious, and maybe it is, and maybe I should've figured it out sooner, but sometimes epiphanies hit you when you're least expecting them, and I think this is one of those times. Definitely made me rethink myself, and how I think of others.

No problem, anon! As long as your experiences have been good, that's what matters, and I hope you manage to pull off that 1CC! Those are quite a pain, especially near the end when you're on a good run and fear that a dumb mistake might make it all go to waste, kind of stressful even.

>>10524531
No problem, anon! I'm glad I could help change your perspective on things. Now go out into the world and make the Angel of Light's words heard by all, my child... and don't forget to praise the Lord while you're at it, he's the true source of all of our enlightenment, even though having such beautiful and amazing people like me helps.

None of us know the answer... anon. Only thing that's certain is that, if you give up, you'll never make it, but if you keep going, one day at a time, you have a chance... is it 50%? 10%? I don't know, wish I did and that I could tell you, but sadly it's one of those thing that we'll only be certain will happen... when it's already happening, so keep going one day at a time, and it might come. It's what happened to me at least, I just did my best to not torture myself about it, and eventually it just came to me when I least expected it, life is quite unpredictable sometimes.

N64 bomberman is an entirely different genre to classic bomberman. They are action adventure games with collectathon elements, not arcadey action games with a primarily multiplayer focus like classic bomberman (though they do have multiplayer). That said I think they are great, Bomberman 64 is one of my favorite N64 games.

I didn't really finish as many /vr/ games as I thought I did.
>1. Super Monkey Ball 2's Story Mode
I'm not good enough to get to Master, but I am good good enough to get through some of 2's more gimmicky levels.
>2. Luigi's Mansion
I did a Hidden Mansion playthrough later on and got an A rank, so I guess that's 100% (unless you could getting all the gold frames.)
>3. Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland
I beat it 100% for the first time on both normal mode and extra mode this year, I'm just replaying a childhood game otherwise
>4. Mario Tennis
I didn't beat the Rainbow Cup but I did just about everything else, not a fan of having to finish the Star Cup on singles with every character to unlock the final three cups.
>5. Mario Power Tennis
Bought this on a whim and finished the star cup with Daisy and DK, and unlocked everyone else. Definitely need to do more but I saw the credits and that's what counts.
>6. Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga
I finally beat it for the first time this year after getting filtered so many times before, I found it shorter than I remembered it being. Also Chopper Bros. and Advanced Knockback Bros are hilariously broken moves
>7. Super Mario Sunshine
I finally got around to playing this after shitting on it for years and found it's not as bad as I thought it would be, but at the same time this game's lows are REALLY fucking low. Also it's really obvious this game was unfinished just by playing it. I definitely wanna finish this one 100% before the year is over, at least.

I think I've only finished like 10 games this year, not counting replays
If it's not fun, I drop it and since I already have my favourites in most genres, it's hard to find something that wouldn't make me wish I played a better game instead.
Anyway out of the ones I've never played before, I've completed:

>Madou Monogatari I: Honoo no Sotsuenji (PC Engine CD)

Same, my list had 40 titles, with only 2 not being retro, it's a shame because I went from a nice and round 40 to a 38... until last night where I finally finished my Sonic Advance 2 save, where I was stuck on the final boss, due to the boss rush that comes before it, and then I also beat the Game Gear version of TECMO World Cup '93 since it had been a long time since I last played the Master System version I love so much, and it's just as good as I remember. A lot of 1CCs and no-death runs, anon! It's quite fantastic that you've pulled it off, I suck at 1CCs, always mess it up.

>>10525702
No need to apologize! If you've had fun with the titles you've played, that's what matters, the numbers are just a detail, a neat thing, but not the main purpose of why we play, just a consequence, you did well.

>>10526202
Nice, anon! I managed to beat many for the same reason, a lot of 8-Bit and 16-Bit titles are less than 30 minutes long when you know what to do, and it's part of why I love playing them, they're condensed experiences with no bloat.

Well, dragon quest for one, but I'm feeling lazy to play some old JRPGs. I wanted to finish the Shenmue games but I hear the 2nd game has a cliffhanger and isn't even solved in the 3rd game. Overall, I'm just looking for a console that alone should be enough for me for some time.

[Anonymous No.10528697]

>>10528686
Well, what usually helps me when I'm struggling to find something that sticks is to go for shorter titles that I know are about 30 minutes long... do I beat them in 30 minutes? No, of course... but if I know that I'm 30 minutes away, or less, from the final boss, from the hero's triumph, I get the feel that I should push through... you know, "just one more attempt" and all, so arcade ports are great.

[Anonymous No.10528704]

Not sure if some of these titles are beatable, but these are the ones Ive completed the campaign on or got rank one in the Arcade Leaderboard.

1. Panzer Dragoon
2. Panzer Dragoon Zwei
3. Panzer Dragoon Saga (first play-though for this one)
3. Tony Hawks Pro Skater
4. Sonic Adventure’s Sonic Campaign
5. Morrowind
6. Crazy Taxi
7. Skies of Arcadia

There are enough of us here with families that I think you can feel good about it being attainable. Ironically I played a ton of retro games this year because i was showing them to my kids. Seeing my sons faces light up when playing Capcom vs SNK or Sonic is awesome.

Thanks! I think I'm on the right track, I've got a gentle, supportive and cute GF that loves stuff like Bomberman and Bubble Bobble, that I'll ask to marry me next year... she's already mentioned that her dream is to have a family with kids and all, so as soon as she says "I do." it'll be a matter of time before we're playing some retro stuff together with our kids and all. Well, wish me luck!

Also, you're introducing your kids to some good stuff, anon! Capcom vs. SNK and Sonic are both awesome, I'm probably having Sonic 1 be my kids' 1st video game, just like it was mine as a kid.

I don't have a family ...

And I don't mean like I haven't started one, I mean I don't have one. Every so often in my life I feel like I finally create a pseudofamily with a group of friends that become close enough that it feels like one, but it seems like life keeps ripping those from under me too.

It just doesn't seem like I'm supposed to belong anywhere. Even on here, I feel like I don't fit in, and this is where the misfits go. Sad.

But I want to believe ...

[Anonymous No.10528814]

>>10528792
I know this will sound generic, and it really is, but the reason it's said so often is because it's true. I looked for a relationship all of my life and it just never happened, and as soon as I stopped caring it just... came to me. Also, one thing I realized as I began dating, is that while it's great and I love my partner, it's also difficult, there were times I was deeply hurt and felt negative emotion too often.

It's not for everyone, and I can definitely see that some people can geuinely be happier without a relationship than with one... also, you can't wait for a relationship to be happy, because if you do then that means your happiness depends 100% on one person, and if she goes away at any point in your life... so does your happiness, and that's a dangerous thing. We have to be happy alone too.

One more thing, about family, I really don't know what to say, I suppose friend groups can help as a replacement, but it's not a very good one, since friends go their different ways as life goes along and the whole point of family is that you'll always be connected even if life tries to separate you, it isn't an easy thing to replicate... I just hope when you talk to us here, it brings you some joy, anon.

I get the feeling that I'll go through similar struggles... but I feel SEGA, with its arcade style and all, making the player grind and have to work for the gratification of winning, can be quite good for kids in terms of their attention span, delaying gratification, putting in the work, dealing with anger issues, etc.

I accept you, anon. It's a nice feeling, but you must NOT seek for acception. If you're accepted, that's cool, glad it happened, just don't rely on it to keep on living. It's a spice, not a main ingredient. I say that because every single person, no matter how awesome they are, won't be 100% accepted in any enviroment.

Finished 100% the 6 Megaman Battlenetwork games on the GBA version, it was a really great ride of 6 months and surprisingly good lore-wise.
BN1 is outdated but still payable, BN2 is great and BN3 is great the more you play it, BN4 was boring to do 100% and BN5 liberation missions really haven't been fun to do, but BN6 is really a game well made and good enough to be a ending to the series.

It really is a huge difference, for me it's the opposite, I manage to finish a lot more retro stuff, not just because I play it more, but because it's so much shorter usually, almost 40 modern titles finished is impressive.

A lot of the modern games I played through this year were smaller indie games, and a lot of the retro games I really wanted to play and kept putting off were kinda long. I should keep some shorter retro stuff downloaded to burn through when I just have a little free time.
I actually started a lot of RPGs this year, both retro and modern, but Planescape: Torment was the only one I ended up finishing.

Everything I can remember off the top of my head. Most were new for me, didn't replay much for this year. Having real hardware for the ds is a gamechanger desu. No lag, no emu shit. Played lots of titles on the vita, but I don't think that's "retro." Currently playing Wind's Seed (PC-98).

advanced adventure on hard is like a different game, you really have to improve because the enemies are more aggressive and do a lot more damage

[Anonymous No.10537815]

dunno man, I don't really keep track. I also end up playing nothing because I worry too much if I should play it on real hardware or emulated, LCD or CRT, the version of the game and have too much choice. I went through all the roms and deleted loads that I know I won't play and Eur versions, betas, alphas, aternative and so on, so might play something soon. been wanting to play Uncharted Waters only because I'm portuguese
I completed Jet Set Radio Future, Street Fighter 1, 2 and 3, played some PS2 ones from when I was a kid like Puzzle Bubble, Metal Slug X, Tenkaichi 3 and Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja 5 and watched High Score Girl, which made me finally complete the arcade version of SF2.

meant to say Streets of Rage 1, 2 and 3

[Anonymous No.10538816]

I haven't kept track of all the games I beat this year and a lot of them aren't retro but binging Megaman X have been my autistic fixation over the last few months, beat the first 6 several times, although I did use X5 improvement hack and X6 tweaks

[Anonymous No.10538845]

-Lode Runner (NES)
-Eretzvaju aka Evil Zone (PS1)
-MGS: Integral
-Half-Life (PC) on Hard difficulty

And that's pretty much it. Yeah, not a lot, I know.

[Anonymous No.10539350]

I've replayed the Mega Man X games (1-8) and played the GBA Metroid games for the first time. Those were fun.

[Anonymous No.10540081]

Phantasy Star (M2 Switch version)
Shining Force (long time favorite since I was a kid but this is the first time I actually finished the Genesis version)
Zelda 1 (First and Second Quest)
Zelda 2
Castlevania: Lament of Innocence

That's off the top of my head. I played a lot more but those are the only ones I finished I think.

Adding Luigi's Mansion to my list >>10525236. Good game with some annoying elements here and there.

Also recently beat Kessen with both Eastern and Western forces, might try level 5 difficulty soon. Great game.

Will probably be able to beat Zone of the Enders before the end of the year as well.

You should've read it. My reply, for instance, tells how I replay the same games over and over because of lack of time. I can easily beat 40+ games in a year... but the same 40+ games, each one averaging in a hour or less (except a few 3 to 5-hour games). That would be one quick playthrough for a whole week. I hope to find more time in the future. Who knows.

I just beat DQ 1 and 2 on the Gameboy color a few days ago. both pretty short (DQ1 especially) and enjoyable games. would recommend if you haven't played these two yet! I'm off to play DQ3 on GBC next

I forgot about Mario Land, played through that maybe a month or so ago. I had it as a kid, and it was better than I remember. I also attempted Ninja Gaiden at some point. Amazing game, was loving every second of it... until I got to the final boss, and saw just how far back the game sends you when you lose to him. I simply do not have the patience to replay the final three stages of the game just to have one more shot at the boss.

I finally got around to reading the thread, and I'm actually glad to see that I'm not the only one struggling with finding time for games. This has been a much more positive thread than the last thread like this that I participated it. In the last one, folks were talking about playing 5+hours a day as though this was perfectly normal. And when I politely asked how people were finding this kind of time, I ended up inadvertently derailing the thread into a dogpiling of anons shitting on me for being a moron who can't into time management. It made me sad, because they weren't wrong. Those of you with enormous lists, how do you do it? Can you share some time management advice with a sad anon?

[Anonymous No.10543412]

Does MegaMan Battle Network count? If so, 2

>Can you share some time management advice with a sad anon?
Me again. What can't be done, can't be done. Time can't be created, but better allotted... and only if your schedule allows it. That being said, here are some points that might help you:

>Pick shorter games, since the longer ones may give you trouble to consistently play them, risking abandonment and dragging you down.
>Revise your schedule and genuinely define if each activity in it is really necessary. Get rid of whatever isn't meaningful to you.
>Keep your eye open for procrastinating activies, like social media or masturbation. They're not bad per se, but only if properly controlled.
>Make sure to stick to games you actually like, so they can properly hook you in. Avoid playing stuff you feel uncomfortable with, just because everyone else likes it or because you saw it an "omg u must play" list.

Hope this helps you somehow.

Adding Thief 2 to the list. Great game, just wish they put one mission or two between Casing The Joint and Masks (or just removed the first one). Since they're back to back missions in the same area it feels repetitive, while they're fine missions in themselves.

I just like the story spawning 3 games, with each game describing one side of the story, the parts where the sides "collide" were neat. Plot was ok for a SRPG, it had enough ideas to keep me interested, and they managed to keep a decent amount of gimmick variety for the maps to make each one kind of unique and keep it fresh (even if some of the gimmicks were tedious). I like the world in the Shining Force games so that was a plus.
