Completion Thread: 2014 (Goals of Your Mind)

[Finch]

It's a lot easier, and when you mess up it doesn't make you start over from the beginning or the last save.
I really enjoyed it more on 3DS, but maybe that's just because it's where i played it first. Put the series wherever they want as long as it means more are coming, just keep making the games good.

I played the demo on 3DS when it first game out, so it's not really about what I played it on first, it's just the allure of a bigger, higher resolution screen, and the interface translates well too.
But then I'm someone who doesn't like the 3D effects on 3DS so that sort of cancels out that version's main selling point. They're pretty close otherwise.

Ironically, Diff's comparison makes me want to return to TF2, where there are still achievements to be had. Yes, I know how horrible that is.

We got 4 or 5 NeN that play TF2 in the mornings if you are so inclined. You will win and you will get cheeves.

Which mornings and what time? I prefer that to late nights.

[Diff-chan]

Mornings?

Is that the part of the day where I'm ingesting caffeine constantly in an attempt to function? I don't really remember that part of the day.

Assassin's Creed (PS3)
I'm finally getting around to the AC series, starting from the beginning. There was a lot of tedium and the controls took some getting used to. The complete lack of subtitles was boggling. But there's a good idea and a great game buried in there. Also, it was clearly not optimized for SONY PLAYSTATION 3.


Murdered: Soul Suspect (PS4)
I came in expecting a certain type of experience, and I wasn't disappointed. Now just take away the unnecessary demon extermination sequences, and we'll really be onto something.


Beyond: Two Souls (PS3)
Cage didn't completely drop the ball at the end, and all the stuff that made Fahrenheit/Heavy Rain a joy is present. That's progress.


Animal Crossing: New Leaf (3DS)
Finally paid off my house with every possible expansion, so I'm ready to stick a fork in it. While it's easily the best AC since the Cube version, I found myself wanting more. More stuff to do in town, more ways to interact with others, more meaningful relationships with the residents of Otisburg (yes, Otisburg). And yet, if I haven't sunk 100 hours into this game over the past year, it's gotta be pretty damn close. So I think wanting more at this point is sort of the highest compliment I can pay.


Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (3DS)
I loved the original Luigi's Mansion, save for the fact that it was far too short. And I thoroughly enjoyed this sequel. Funny, then, that around the halfway mark I was so eager for it to end. It felt like I hit a wall and it just became the same thing mission after mission. Wash, rinse, repeat. And given my penchant for JRPGs, I don't need Alanis to point out the irony here.


Assassin't Creed II (PS3)
Now that's more like it! Subtitles, a more interesting setting, an enjoyable protagonist, less jibber-jabber from my marks… I can't wait to play the next one.

Don't worry, they'll remove the best part for the sequel.

27. D4



Very cool game. It's more charming than and at least as weird as Deadly Premonition, but the point and click format allows this game to simply stick to the good stuff (instead of boring you with garbage action scenes and cross-town driving). Season one isn't the longest, but I was really surprised at how dense it is. Tons of things to look at and read and collect, many of which are actually interesting, and even the QTEs are very well-done. Not much in the way of puzzle difficulty, but I didn't really mind. I really hope we get more of this.

[Andrew]

I want to play D4 so badly, but not enough to buy an Xbone. Hopefully a director's cut makes its way to PS4 or PC in a year or two, kinda like what we saw with Deadly Premonition.
