The TNL Pile of Shame Warpact *updated*

[xS]

30 hours into suikoden 3.

[taloony]

I finally polished off Arc the Lad III today.

[Victrix]

Did you finish all three taloony? I'm stuck on that stupid elevator fight in the first one :/ I never bothered to level up, since I just wanted to plow through the game and get to the second, which people said was a lot better, but it bit me in the ass, and I haven't played since then.

[StriderKyo]

Polished off Robotech - good Lord, that's one of the most insanely hard games I've ever played. I mean, protect missions with wussy helicopters to guard are hard enough, but adding a time limit and a condition that you can't let any of the scads of hard-to-destroy-and-way-too-many-for-the-time-you-have enemies escape, all while being shot at by endless waves of missile-spreads-that-kick-your-ass-launching battle pods is just ridiculous. It's like the designers were trying to make me want to come to their houses and stab them in their sleep.

Honestly, if this wasn't Robotech, and it just had the name of some shitty cartoon on the box like Thundercats or something, I would have snapped the disc in two and never looked back. And to top it all off, the ending completely sucked.

Oh well, at least I got a gripping interview with Max Sterling. I never knew he was Leonardo and that Batman-type guy from The Tick.

Anyway, right now I'm in the grips of PSO fever, so pretty much nothing else is getting finished and/or played for a while.

[Victrix]

Yeah, those escort missions made me grit my teeth, but I forced myself to sit and play them until I was done, period.

How you'd get past that second to last mission? It took me a few tries to realize that, oh, there's handy barriers that make the mission actually possible. Also couldn't figure out how they wanted me to spring that leak for like ten minutes, that was counter-intuitive and annoying (since they'd never used a mechanic like that for actually changing the world before)

weak weak fierce
weak fierce fierce
fierce fierce monomate!

Not sure what I want to tackle next. I'm very tempted to begin the Ogre Battle gauntlet... four games on four systems. Doing that will take weeks though, I know it, so I want to wait until I've got that strategy rpg hankering on. Does anyone know the exact order of the games? A couple of them are labelled episode blah, but the N64 version doesn't have an episode number that I noticed. Was it snes/psx/n64/gba, or something else?

[Regus]

Damn, this is the first time I ever looked into this thread. Here's my pile of shame, or at least, the games I want to play, I've got about 200 NES game, and a bunch of Master System crap that is untouched, and will probably remain that way until the end of time.

Anyways, here's my list, this is only the most recent stuff, or the things I've bought that actually interest me enough to play. Sadly, I'll probably never get around to playing half of these.:


TOTAL: 24

Stuntman - I'm only one level away from a %100 perfect game

Devil May Cry - Got stuck on a boss and never went back.

Batman Vengence - Stopped playing at Mr.Freeze.

Fur Fighters - I already beat the DC version, but I want to finish this version.

Haven: I started it, I might as well finish it.

Kessen 2: Untouched.

Mad Maestro: I don't think I'll even bother with this one.

Mark of Kri: I have to start all over since I deleted my old save file.

Games I manged to take off the pile:

Shaun Palmer's Pro Snowboarder: Damn good game, it offered an excellent challange, even to a thps veteran. It's a shame it wasn't well recieved.


I should get around to playing these Genesis games I got, but I'll keep them off the list for now.

[Victrix]

Just ditch the ones you don't think you'll ever touch. I usually sell mine, but some people like to hang on to their games I suppose No credit for Fame, but they're taken off your Shame list.

And get a friend and play through Twisted Metal Black coop, that game ruled

Yeah, I've made it through all three of them now.

It's been so long, I don't really remember that elevator you're talking about. Gah...a year next month.

[Victrix]

It was the fight where you (Arc) and worthless wench (worthless wench) had to fight alone against a pack of monsters, just after a long and annoying fight. Well, long and annoying for my not-very-leveled up party anyhow.

I hate leveling up in general, and in particular in strategy games, and in particular in Arc 1, which is about as interesting as an argument on a gamefaqs messageboard. But I suppose I should suffer through and finish it, since I'm only a few fights from the end. Or toss the game

[taloony]

Well, I say go for it. Some of the items you get are very much worth it, and if you can put up with it, try to get Choko. Said items and her will help save some time throughout 2, especially the very monotonous final boss.
