the remastered version is "fine" (looks like poo poo because it was done by pollacks). the real dark souls begins by reading the before i play wiki in its entirety for all games, consulting 20 different for build tips, watching an entire lets play (one sanctioned by slowbeef, the inventor of lets plays hopefully), reading the fextralife dark souls wiki, and donating to the fextralife wiki donation. once you've done all this you MAY be ready for the ultiamte gaming challange ahead aka holding the shield button while circle strafing the monster you locked onto

END OF Q3 CHECK-IN

  • all the yakuza games 3-7 (beat 3 and 4, almost done with 5)
  • la-mulana 2
  • SMT5 and the nocturne remaster (in progress)
  • SaGa frontier remastered (4/8 endings complete)
  • two other SaGa or SaGa-adjacent games i haven't beaten (saga frontier 2, unlimited, last remnant, treasure of the rudras, legend of mana)
  • bravely default 2

killin' it. i pulled the gagharv trilogy off the list because it couldnt steal it easily. sorry nene. otherwise i just need to beat nocturne, grind some saga frontier endings, beat treasure of the rudras or sf2, and wait for smt5 to come out. my original post said that i wanted to cross off six things from the list and i already did that, so honestly everythin else is gravy

I have failed this years goals. Couldn't bring myself to continue for a couple months after yakuza 4, and then put yakuza 5 in the proverbial sock drawer after doing all of shinada's substories and closed without saving.

Finish the Dragon Quest series (finish 5, then 6-9 and 11)

Play all the Final Fantasy remasters (7 through 10-2, 12, and the 13 trilogy)

Finish all 4 routes of Fire Emblem: Three Houses (I think I can finish the third in the next few days and then I’ll only have the Black Eagles/side with Edelgard path left.

Speaking more generally I’m aiming for 2021 to be the Year of the JRPG, so I probably won’t be able to finish all these along with all the other JRPGs I’ll be trying as well, on top of all the non-JRPG games that I’ll still be tempted into occasionally, so it’s more of an aspirational goal than a realistic one, but this is what I’ll have in mind this year.

It was definitely the year of the JRPG, the last 6 months or so were dominated by SMT games and Persona 5. I didn’t make much progress on the specific game goals, though, I did finish all FE3H routes but none of the final fantasy games, I finished Dragon Quest V but got sidetracked by other games partway through VI (I think by SMT so at least I stayed in the JRPG realm).

Dragon Quest XI, probably IX, maybe VII
Yakuza 0
The Saga games until I get confused in Romancing Saga 1 again and quit
SpaceChem
DROD
Alternately, Slay the Spire dailies all year rather than any of that

Not feeling up for DQVII yet, played through VI too recently. How long is IX if I skip the post game BS?
Averaging about 30 minutes of progress in RS2 per month, this game stresses me out.
Failed to install SpaceChem on tablet.
Successfully installed DROD on laptop.
Finally kicked the StS addiction but now Yakuza has severely derailed my plans...

No further progress other than several rooms in DROD. I blame Kiryu.

Thinking I want to make this the year of the JRPG as well, specifically PS1/PS2 RPGs. Started a Wild Arms playthrough the other night and I've got Breath of Fire III going as well...

Well, I did beat a bunch of JRPGs this year… Wild Arms, DQ4-6, SMT Nocturne. Not too bad imo

i have a terrible habit of starting a game and even if i really like it, i'll put it on hold to start a different one, so they just pile up over time. i'm gonna make my goal to beat all the games i can remember being partway through recently before i pick up anything new.

  • Fire Emblem: Three Houses
  • Yakuza 0
  • Amid Evil
  • Doom Eternal
  • Pikmin 3
  • Super Mario 64 (120 stars)

ultimately failed as there's just too many games out there to stop myself from playing them, though i have been more inclined to finish the ones i've started

i wound up playing all of these exceot Root Double, so id say this Goal was a Success. i have had 11 months to collect a Mini Crown Crystalbeard Uragaan to finish 100%ing MHGU and it did not happen. Next year though for sure, i already drove myself insane hunting the other 99% of crowns so it would be ludicrous to leave it there.

Same. I game plenty but like, if anything distracts me from gaming it can be months before I get back into more than the occasional sit down.

-Improve my Sonic CD time by 1 minute

more to come probably

I got slightly better at puyo I guess. Pocket Card Jockey is still a work in progress and In Training stopped playing MHGU. I didn't play Sonic CD this year.
