Shit, the only games I've played in 2024 so far are...

CoD: MW3
Replayed FF8
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora (which I haven't finished because fucking Ubisoft...)

Persona 3 reloaded is on its way though and Avatar might get the boot until I finish that again! At least until FF7 Rebirth comes out and I forget everything else exists.

Yep, there's a really good fan translation that I'm playing

Persona 3 Reloaded is probably gonna go on this list, Ive played the PSP one a couple times and Im a fan. I did also just pick up FF7 Remake for the first time so hopefully I can get to that

[GwJumpman]

Just realized my first game of 2024 was actually my replay of Alan Wake II lol

 

[GwJumpman]

Pokemon TCG 2 is COMPLETE

Power Stone is next up probably

 

[Spiner202]

The 2024 List (Stuff I'm almost certainly gonna play):
Heavy Rain
Death Stranding

I see these two games mentioned often. I know nothing about them, but am excited to see your reviews when you get to them in case they need to be added to my ever-growing backlog.

Honestly, I've never played Heavy Rain itself besides seeing some memes where the guy is in the mall and he's just yelling "JASON??", "JASON!!" over and over before the opening thing happens. This is more of a meme pick for me really where I just want to experience the quirks of the controls and style of storytelling.

Death Stranding though I've played like 20-30 hours in twice now and just happened to put it down for less intensive games (in the sense that I often multitask while gaming so games that I have to be very active in to progress I sometimes don't get the chance to finish) but I'm a huge fan of Kojima and I definitely intend to play Death Stranding 2

That’s a fun list. Jet Grind Radio is so much fun… if memory serves.

Have you played the Messenger yet? Solid retro feeling platform but made in 2018 or so.

pls send to me too lolz

You gotta play Huntdown. It's one of the best games I've ever played.

 

[GwJumpman]

Completed the original Legend of Zelda on NES and started The Adventure of Link also on NES. I can already tell Adventure of Link is going to be a tough one but the combat is fun, just punishing

I have tried to like- like that game so many times but I just hate it.

same, but both of the NES games

 

[shortkut]

The original is good. Plays like most other Zelda games

 

[GwJumpman]

Adventure of Link is completed, Heavy Rain is next

 

[VashTheStampede]

Oh damn, back-to-back games that pissed me off.

I still have a little bit of a soft spot for Heavy Rain though. Aside from one Big Fuckin Thing.

 

[GwJumpman]

Tunic started and finished, Heavy Rain started. Tunic was a sick game, very much like Zelda 1

 

[Smacktard]

Tunic is such an awesome and unique game. Figuring out the golden path was such a mindtrip for me. What an experience.

Absolutely, all of those "golden path" puzzles were so awesome and I wish more games made satisfying but simple puzzles like that.

 

[Smacktard]

all

not the door though. Fuck the actual input at that door.

 

[GwJumpman]

Finished Heavy Rain. Very funny game

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is next

 

[GwJumpman]

Finished Mario Galaxy 2, was alright

Galaxy 1 was better

EARTHBOUND is next. Never played it beyond like partly through the second town so going in fairly blind

 

[Raine]

Finished Mario Galaxy 2, was alright

Galaxy 1 was better

While probably true, SMG2 is one of but a small handful of games with which I've experienced just, like, pure joy and fun over the last two decades or so.

Just something about it really pressed all of the right buttons, and SMG1 - which I played immediately before SMG2 for the first time - just... didn't.

But then I also adored Sunshine back in the day, so it's possible my tastes run very skewed.

 

[Smacktard]

For me SMG2 was the tighter game too. More challenging gameplay, less farting about an obnoxious-to-traverse hub world, and just more enjoyable all-around.

@GwJumpman why did you drop the Power Stone games?

 

[Kat]

I played Heavy Rain back when it was released. I remember enjoying the story, despite there being some big plot holes. It was pretty short IIRC, and I assume it's cheap by now, so probably worth a try.

I'm playing most of these games with a friend of mine so we both need to be on board before we commit and Power Stone seemed like one of those games we goofed around with for a half hour and was like "ok well that was fun, anyways..."

 

[GwJumpman]

Been gone from the forums for a few months (not for any reason I just kinda forgot lol), I finished Earthbound and also started + finished Final Fantasy VI. Both games were pretty fantastic with FFVI having a clearly superior battle system from Earthbound but Earthbound just having so much personality in it.

If I had to rank the three SNES RPGs Ive played I'd probably do this:

Chrono Trigger >= Earthbound > Final Fantasy VI

 

[VashTheStampede]

Earthbound over FF6???
