Completion Thread 2011: Challenge of the Gods

I just went nuts when I received Strider on the Genesis for my birthday. I thought I was playing the arcade version. 8 MEGA MEMORY! Forgotten Worlds and Mercs were solid too.



Alice: Madness Returns (360) - Decent game. Plays well enough but the levels kinda drag a bit and the visuals are inconsistent. Some parts of the game look great and some look awful. Maybe the pc version looks better overall especially with the Physx stuff.

27. Super Mario Bros. 3



Famicom version, has a little more bite to it since you revert to little Mario when getting hit in any form.

A very good game, obviously. I might like FDS SMB2 a little more, for the difficulty curve and the retry point spacing, but I'm not sure about that yet. There's no doubt that this game beats the hell out of it aesthetically, and it has just the right amount of flashy new stuff per stage while still making the player really get to know the older stuff from older stages even better.

World 8 is pretty much perfect. It has so many wonderful forced-scrolling stages. The little item pool with the grabby hands is placed in just the right spot, and serves as a good oasis without being abusable. Pretty much the only thing wrong in all of World 8 is the kinda bland final boss battle.

So very night and day when compared to the super mediocre NSMB DS, and it's a good amount better than the already pretty good NSMB Wii.

NSMB DS is totally generic and yawn, I don't get the praise.

Mario 3 is totally generic and yawn. It's no Mario 2 US. Best Mario.

[YellerDog]

It really is.

What a terrible indictment it is to say that the Best Mario Game wasn't a Mario game.

[Finch]

It was a Mario game. People try to lie to you and say it isn't, but they're just ignorant.

i'm going to play doki doki panic to spite you all and be that guy

It's a fuckin' slow burn on me for playing and finishing games. Buying all the woman bullshit for the house (curtains, blinds, decorations, endless other bullshit) is taking up assloads of time, not to mention Mom doesn't do my laundry anymore, so that takes up my time.

I'm slowly whittling away at Final Fantasy IV on PSP. About 2/3rds through.

Started up Catherine on PS3, but stuck on the 2nd level only.

I like that you are making EXTRA SURE everybody knows you don't live at your mom's anymore now.
