Post your recent video game accomplishments.

Beat Rhapsody again and got all the puppets, and am now working on Celeste and Lufia The Legend Returns.

I managed to beat Grimoire Noir in Nier. I wasn't able to save Yonah or Kaine though.

In The Sims 4: Jungle Adventure, I sampled every Selvadoran dish in one five-day trip (including the double-secret menu you get to order from once your Selvadoran Culture level is high enough).

I beat Nier the first time. I'm going to repay the game in order to get the other endings.

I wrecked four installs of "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion", leading me to prune my mod count back drastically.

It's working again now, I think.

....

Or should that be, "I hope"...

This was two weeks ago, but I finally 100% Wind Waker, including the Nintendo Gallery, still in the green tunic!

I also went back and found the one piece of heart in Majora's Mask I had been missing (it was the Clock Town Shooting Gallery). That one's 100%ed as well!

Made it past the Ice Cavern in Final Fantasy IX. I'm in the village of Dali.

Just finished No One Lives Forever 2.

I was pretty impressed with the game. The graphics were a big step up; where NOLF 1 looked like a glorified Half-Life and was kinda disappointing for its age, the sequel held up much better considering it's only two years younger. The voice acting was top-notch, possibly even better than the first game, and the comedy was still very well done. Cate Archer looked rather different in the sequel, which was a bit strange considering most of the other characters looked very similar from the first game to the second, but I think I prefer her new appearance.

But more importantly, the gameplay. While it lacked the variety of NOLF 1, NOLF 2's gameplay was much more streamlined and felt generally better designed and more player-friendly. Selecting weapons was easier, the problems with ammo switching were basically eliminated, the ability to move and search bodies rather than automatically picking up everything was convenient, goals and other interactive components of the map were made much more obvious, and the reduced emphasis on (fairly clumsy) gadgets helped make the game more of a proper FPS. Moreover, I appreciated how stealth was made much more practical and simultaneously much more optional, and how the levels in general were more forgiving of mistakes and improvization. I can see how some purists might prefer the gameplay in NOLF 1, but for myself I thought the second game was superior in this regard. (Sadly, the terrible vehicle handling in the first game was not much improved in the second.)

As for the story, I thought the writing and pacing were better than in NOLF 1, but the game also kinda felt shorter overall, like there was less in it. (Which is unfortunate because I'd much rather play more of 2 than more of 1.) The obvious connections to campy 1960s spy movies were also diminished in favor of letting the game stand more on its own, which had some merit but felt a little like it was getting away from the point.

Finally, on the technical side of things, NOLF 2 was sadly less stable than the first game. It would sometimes crash the first time it tried to load a save after starting up, and also occasionally crashed during level transitions. Still more stable than many games I've played, but I'm left wondering what they changed from the first game that made it occasionally just fail. Furthermore, neither the first nor the second game had an option for rebinding the quicksave/quickload keys, but whereas the first game at least allowed these to be set in a configuration file, in NOLF 2 they were hardcoded with no way to change them. I ended up using an AutoHotkey script to make it work the way I wanted.

I recently finished the 2017 remake of Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap in hard mode. Then I collected the six charm stones, farmed the money bought all the remaining equipment to bring this save to 100%, re-beating the final boss (and also re-beating it as Hawk-Man, as meant to be).

Well I had to use a guide for locating one of the "The Unknown" segments (Lion-Man's is far too well hidden) and the hidden doors for re-beating the bosses, but at least now I have the game fully finished (and all achievements).

I managed to get ending B in Nier.

I also collected every weapon, which means I unlocked endings C and D.

In the last month I've achieved all the Cuphead achievements, got all the achievements and unlocks for the Turning Tides expansion in Battlefield 1 and am presently working on getting the last one for the Apocalypse expansion. (I have the hard ones already done.)

Also did a Self-Imposed Challenge in Cuphead, beat the first three isles without clearing any Run N Gun stages.

After 51 hours of total play time, numerous tries, and two years after I got it - I beat the flagship in FTL for the first time.

I beat Jump-Rope Genius. Never again.

Final Fantasy IX:

• Managed to beat Gizamaluke after losing a few times to him.

• Finished Disc 1

Beat Fallout: New Vegas on Hardcore mode. I just wanted the achievement, so I blitzed a Wild Card ending.

I managed to get ending C in Nier. Pretty sad.

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Reborn: I finally, finally, FINALLY managed to complete "The True Gundam Dynasty Warrior"! Which is effectively a Boss Rush forced on max difficulty on Hard Mode, against all three Musha/Knight Gundams consecutively. Oh yeah, and there aren't any mooks in the mission either, so you can't use them to more quickly build your SP Attack meter. AND they got rid of the Serene Mind skill (instead making it the Burning/Master Gundam's BURST effect), so you can't just dodge like crazy while letting your SP Attack charge passively, either.

All hail Katejina Loos, the DG Cell-infected Qubeley-piloting Cherry Tapping scum of the earth!

With this, it's only a matter of — probably a couple dozen hours of grinding to get the last 160 or so Cards, and by that time I should have the Platinum!

Aside from that, I also beat Final Fantasy XV, though I haven't yet tackled any of the DLC nor the Bonus Bosses.

Just beat SOTN for the first time!

How much completion % did you get?

190-something. I'm either missing Power of the Bat or Power of the Wolf but got almost everything else.

I got ending D in Nier Gestalt. With that, I'm done with the game.

Overall, I really liked this game. While it had its flaws, it was very good. The story was quite good and the characters were likable and sympathetic. I feel like it is an example of an underrated game.

I played, beat, and 130% the story mode of Puyo Puyo Tetris... AGAIN! On Steam this time. I think I love this game more than I should.

Platinum'd Stories Path Of Destinies

Beat the Ocean Necropolis in Ever Oasis!

I managed to kill three invaders in a row in Dark Souls III without dying.

I suck at PVP, so this is a personal accomplishment for me.
