Completion Thread 2012: Hai! Dekimashita!

[Thief Silver]

I've only played a bit of Knights, but already it's unlike anything I've seen in a strategy RPG (and the art is absolutely gorgeous). I definitely have to respect Sting for taking chances.

I'm hoping Gungnir is eventually Vita-compatible.

I thought I saw Atlus say somewhere that it's officially Vita compatibile.

10. Ghost Trick (iOS)

Capcom really sucks. They haven't made a console game worth a shit since the original Dead Rising. However, they apparently have one useful team left, hidden among the assholes who ruined Resident Evil, the bigger assholes who won't do a real sequel to Dino Crisis 2, and the biggest assholes who decided Street Fighter should be polygonal. Phoenix Wright is really good... really, really good. But it isn't this good. The adventures of Sissel and Missile are amazing. It's a brilliant concept with near flawless execution, and it's $10. Considering it represents a rare genre and began life on a now obsolete piece of hardware, I think I'm pretty safe giving it a...

10/10

Whoops, isn't that stick figure supposed to be nodding?

14 - Beat Need For Speed: the Run - I've had the game since it came out, but got stuck late in the game and never went back - saw in the shelf this week and felt like playing a more casual racer and just finished it. The final stage was hard as hell, but really rewarding to beat.

16) Tiny Bang Story- Cute, short little puzzle game. I'm not sure what the point of finding all the puzzle pieces in each chapter is, seeing as it gives you them all for free if you accidentally complete the final, chapter-ending puzzle.

17) 10,000,000 (iOS)- Yes, I beat an iPad game. It's a fun match-3 dungeon-runner. Run through dungeon until monsters or your own blindness in picking out a match-3 loses you enough time that your guy falls off the left-hand side of the screen. Use the wood and stone gotten from matching tiles, and the gold from opening chests by matching 3 keys, to upgrade your stuff. A pleasantly grindy little kinda-RPG, kinda-endless runner, full-on match 3 game.

7. Devil Survivor Overclocked (3DS)

Overall, a great MegaTen SRPG. Beat the main game on the Amane path. Started the 8th day extra content that's unique to the 3DS version, but think I'll put it aside for now.

This is the first MegaTen game I've actually finished. Like all the ones I've played, it is crazy-ass long (easily clocked in over 80 hours). The plot is actually pretty good. It has the same basic "demon Tokyo apocalypse" setting as every other MegaTen game I'm aware (not counting Persona), but this one focuses on the personal impact of the demon apocalypse. A lot of the missions have you protecting citizens from being victimized by demons (and other demon tamers). So a lot of the individual mission goals are creative and unique.

It's definitely worth playing this version over the DS version based on all the additional content (including extra demons), voice acting, plus the ability to maintain up to 3 savegames (I believe the DS original only allowed for one).

Hats off to you for that one. Someday maybe.
