Three in March - Need for Three-d

The challenge is to finish 3 or more games a month. What counts as finishing a game can sometimes be fuzzy, so go with what you're satisfied with. There are no hard rules.

I find that having this goal can be a good reminder to pick up some old saves, and motivation to continue games through the occasional frustrating times. :)

Please post your goals for the month, and please share your triumphs and setbacks and impressions of the games as the month goes by.

How Long to Beat is a big help, giving me a good idea of how much longer a game will take.
Backloggery can be used to keep track of the games you have and haven't finished, to prevent a game from falling through the cracks.
Does anyone have other tools they use?

52 Games. 1 Year. 2016. is a thread for if you're looking for a bigger challenge.

Good luck to everyone chipping away at their backlog. :)

_____________________________________________
I have finished three:
Hurt Me Plenty: Finished on the 11th. Robert Yang, the developer said of his game: "This a short game where you spank the heck out of a dude and learn about how BDSM communities attempt to formalize consent / caring. I was really interested in how we can make games about intimacy without a "kindness coins = sex cutscene" trope, and how we can use expressive gestures to roleplay / think about pain and intimacy". It lasts just a few minutes for one 'play'. I played it about 5 times to try different variations on the theme (different negotiated limits).
Cobra Club: Finished. Another short game by Robert Yang, about privacy through the medium of dick pics. Part of the reason I played these games is that they are short, since I'm putting a lot of time into Twilight Princess this month, but I am also interested in seeing what they are.
Twilight Princess HD: Finished on the 25th. I didn't fully expect to finish it this month. For all I heard about it having some of the best dungeons in the series, I wasn't especially impressed by their designs. I liked the game a lot overall but it didn't impress me as much as OoT, MM or TWW. I realised afterwards that this means there's just one 3D console Zelda I haven't finished, Skyward Sword. Maybe I'll move on to that. But first, it means I can start to watch Twilight Princess speedruns!

I'll list these as games I'll try for:
The Witness: I love this game and have 'finished' it, but will continue and try to platinum it.
Tales of Zestiria: I want to finish it and probably have 15 hours left.
The Fall: I bought this, but barely started it.
 
I definitely want to finish some of my new games this month:

Beyond: Two Souls (Remastered)
Heavy Rain (Remastered)
Sherlock Holmes: Crime and Punishments (GwG)

I also got Digimon Story recently but I don't expect to finish it this month.
 
Comix Zone (what the hell? This game is super hard. Souls games eat your heart out)
Bayonetta 2
Deadly Premonition

Let's do this.
 
Yoshi's Wooly World
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD
Heavy Rain Remastered
Shantae and the Pirate's Curse
Cel Damage HD
 
Last two months I posted games that I expected I would finish but have not so this month I won't make a promise :P But I will side eye ball Trails of Cold Steel and Xenoblade X... I started Pokemon X last night but I'm honestly looking for something less RPG heavy so I may finally pick up Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze.

oh and I started Yakuza 3 over the weekend too, so I'll try to commit to Yakuza 3 main story, Pokemon X main story and DKC: TF.
 
Wrapping up Cyber Sleuth now (and then I'll get the plat and do the DLC missions). Carrying that over from last month will make three here a breeze.

Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth
Dragon Quest VI
Bloodborne: The Old Hunters

Bonus:
Steins;Gate
Final Fantasy IV
 
A rollover from last month:

  1. The Witness (PS4)
  2. Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty (PS4)
  3. Grim Fandango Remastered (PS4)
  4. Uncharted 2 Remastered (PS4)
  5. Firewatch (PS4)
  6. Uncharted 3 Remastered (NEW PS4)
 
In the last year of the Wii-brand I'm on a mission to play and perhaps get a new appreciation for Nintendo's "get up off your couch"-games for Wii and Wii U (I was very much part of the group who would roll my eyes at their presence at E3's and whatnot back in the day, but I want to give them a shot). It's not exclusive to this month specifically, but I have a set goal for March concerning:

Wii Sports
Wii Sports Resort
Wii Fit U

I will play each of them at least 20 times (doesn't have to be very long sessions, but an adequate amount, at least) in March; meaning I'll play at least two of them every day (and perhaps get a bit fit meanwhile). Gonna be good.
 
Tales from the Borderlands
Heavy Rain
Beyond Souls
 
Want to complete 3 out of this list:

1. Rise of the Tomb Raider - at ~55% so this is very doable

2. RC ProAm II on Rare Replay - complete all milestones

3. The Division (No idea how much SP content there will be)

4. Garden Warfare 2

5. Life is Strange.

Need to start another RPG out of my backlog, maybe start DA:I or Witcher 2
 
1. Yakuza 5 (PS3)
2. Destiny (XBO)
3. Resident Evil 6 (X360)
4. Demon's Souls (PS3)
5. Two Worlds II (X360)

Any three titles from that list will suffice.
 
Final Fantasy XIII (PC)
Not a Hero (PC)
Steins;Gate (Vita)
Nier (Xbox 360)

Probably need a little longer for Final Fantasy XIII. Don't have as much free time as I hoped. Eitherway, should be doable.
 
I'm looking to beat:
  • Hitman Go
  • The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky FC
  • The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC
  • The Talos Principle

Fairly short list this month but I still doubt I'll finish three.
 
At least three among the following:


  • Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (X360)
  • Nino no Kuni (PS3)
  • Tomb Raider 2013 (PC)
  • Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remastered (PC)
  • The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena (X360)
I would like to beat Dark Souls II including all DLC before the new one is out, but I don't think I'll have enough time.
 
I've got lots of travel time this month so I'm hoping I can burn through some games on the long flights.

1. Fire Emblem fates birthright - definitely want to make it through this so I can enjoy Conquest in April or may.
2. Ace attorney 5 - started this up the other day and am having fun. Want to be caught up before the next game comes out.
3. ? - I don't know what to choose I think I'll start playing Suikoden 2 but Ill need something shorter to break up the Rpgs.
 
My backlog has really started to balloon so hopefully I can get more done this month than I did last month. I really want to have it mostly cleared by the time DOAX3 drops.


[3DS]Project X Zone 2 - in progress
[3DS]Final Fantasy Explorers - in progress
[3DS]Japanese Rail Sim 3D: Journey in Suburbs #1 - in progress
[FC]Nishimura Kyotaro Mystery Super Express Satsujin Jiken - in progress
[PS4]Metal Gear Solid V - in progress

If I can get through 7games I'll consider this month a real success
 
I'm just gonna play 3 In Three
557689-box2front.jpg


and...
- Twilight Princess HD (i've never pre-ordered something from amazon before... will it be here on Friday? or just ship then? never played the original. stoked)
- Final Fantasy VIII (got it on Steam; wanna try and do all the achievements, which means a no EXP run apparently. should be interesting. just 100%'d FFVII. getting ready for IX on Steam.)
- SUPERHOT (looks cool)
 
Comix Zone
Bayonetta 2
Deadly Premonition

Comix Zone is finished. An interesting title from the end of the Genesis' life. Very impressive graphically. The game is very short and so it combats it with extreme difficulty. I can say, that were it not for save states this game would have never been beaten on the original console. This also deteriorates the fun you have during the game. I did get quite good at the game relatively speaking but it was because I could practice as I went along thanks to saving at each chapter multiple times and before the bosses. Oddly enough I went through the second half of the final level without saving and defeated the final boss with ease. Unexpected really. He didn't get a single hit on me. In its original form this would have been a completely frustrating experience where getting out of the first level would have been an achievement. So all in all it's a game worth experiencing for its graphics and good combat, but if you intend to play the game as it was intended (no save states), I'm afraid you'll only experience the first 20% of it if you are lucky before losing your mind.
P.S. amazing credits for this game hahaha. Look em up if you want to laugh. And I guess for socially minded-GAF. The main character saves the girl and they live happily ever after. "yeah so?" you say. Get this, they are an interracial couple. That's a huge deal right? Maybe? I don't know. Well, it's uncommon is all and this is 1995.
 
Uncharted 4 is coming, so I decided to beat - once again - all Uncharted games on PS3. On last day of Feb. I beat 1 part. Currently I am playing 2nd. It should be a great Uncharted month for me.
Besides I am considering to buy X1, so maybe Uncharted + some X1 games this month?

PS3
Uncharted 2
Uncharted 3

PS4
The Wolf Among Us
The Walking Dead s.2

PSV
The Legend of Heroes: Trails od Cold Steel
 
Got a head start last night and beat Gone Home: Console Edition a few times. I've practically beat one other game, too, as there's little to it.
 
Alright I'll jump in. I currently have about 25 games in my backlog, so I would like to erode that down a little.

This month I am gonna knock out:

FE: Conquest-Already did Birthright and I am just really enjoying these games.

GTA5-I'm very lttp on this one. So far I like it better than 4, even though I was a Niko apologist.

BOPS 3-I got this as part of the ps4 bundle. I don't do multiplayer online, so I will just do the campaign on this one.
 
Bloodborne I just finished, but I started that last year, does that count? Lol

I'm going to beat Ass Creed Syndicate since I've played every one in the series and I feel obligated.

The Wittness I'd love to get and beat.

And I'll probably finally open up the Nathan Drake Collection and start/finish 2 or 3.
 
Well I've got to get to work on Schitzberry Farm in Stardew Valley, will continue playing sfv and rocket league, plus I am planning on getting far cry primal, and I still need to finish Undertale.
 
Started slow finishing only one game in January but did better in February and March looks to be the same or better.

OVERALL for 2016: 3/6 (50%)

RECAP from FEBRUARY - 2/3 (66%)

1 - Shovel Knight / PS4
Finished the game earlier in February while I was waiting for Dying Light.

2 - Dying Light: Enhanced Edition / PS4
Finished the base game and The Following expansion last Friday.

MARCH

1 - Far Cry Primal / PS4
Currently 30 hours in and 42% complete. Hope to finish by Monday but I doubt that will happen.

2 - Tom Clancy's The Division / PS4
Will be picking it up on Tuesday and hope to start it the same day but that depends on if I finish Primal by then.

3 - Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India / PS4
Not sure if I'll get to this game in March but it's one of the few games that I have to play after the top two.
 
I successfully completed three titles in February (Uncharted Golden Abyss, Order 1886 and Street Fighter V) so real happy about that. Target for March:

Rise of the Tomb Raider - 25% done according to the save file.
Yoshi's Woolly World - Been on the back burner after reaching World 6.
Tales from the Borderlands
 
I'm probably going to finally finish The Taken King once my internet stops being a jerk
I'm also plucking away at Dawn of Sorrow, so I guess that?
Not sure what i'd do as a third.
 
I feel like I'm a month behind. I didn't finish my January games until early February and now I'm not going to finish my February games until March, hopefully early March.

Rogue Galaxy - I just have to beat the Insectron tournament, doing so however involves catching, feeding and training a team of insectrons which is taking a lot of time. I'm currently half way through the end game bonus dungeon, beating which gets me a special item which I can use to catch the best insectron in the game.

The Nathan Drake Collection - The UC4 delay gives me a bit more time with this, but still I've got to finish all three UC games. I was going to try to do as much as possible in each one before moving on to the next but I've decided to playthrough all 3 campaigns on normal first then hop back and forth for trophy clean up. So far I've beaten UC1 on normal and I'm on chapter 22 of UC2. I should be able to beat hard as well, and I'll make a stab at crushing. From there I'll see how much I want to play around with the new modes they added.

Spyro 2 - My bedtime Vita game, I'm playing this in little chunks before going to sleep. I'm about a third of the way through so far.

Well that counts as more than one, right?

Sure, but I'm making up for not finishing anything last month. Rogue Galaxy, UC1 and UC2 were my games for Feb, UC3 and Spyro 2 I added for this month. I need another but I'll decide what that is once I've put some of this other stuff to bed.
 
2nd Uncharted beaten. It was a much better experience for me, than almost 7 years ago. Lovely game.

PS3
Uncharted 2
Uncharted 3

PS4
The Wolf Among Us
The Walking Dead s.2

PSV
The Legend of Heroes: Trails od Cold Steel
 
I finished one game last month, Xenoblade Chronicles X.

And with that large RPG out of the way, I want to play shorter games and games I've already started.

Lunar: Silver Star Harmony - almost 32 hours into it and at Pao
Super Paper Mario - I'm at chapter 2-4 but needed to go back to rest to regain health
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - I got a pair of hammers
 
I finshed 3 out of the 4 games I listed in February.

I'm going to hopefully try and finish the following in March:

Transformers: Devastation (PS4)
Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments (Xbox One)
Everybody's Gone to the Rapture (PS4)
 
Comix Zone
Bayonetta 2
Deadly Premonition

Bayonetta 2 is completed. This game like the first is worth a replay to unlock more stuff and improve your score. Hard to say which game I enjoyed more. The ending to the first game was more special in terms of the level. I felt that it might have been harder or I was less proficient then. I played on the normal difficulties.

Rogue Galaxy

The Nathan Drake Collection

Spyro 2

Rogue Galaxy is down, at last. Well technically there was still one more rank of Insectron to beat for a character costume, but it's not necessary for the platinum trophy and Insectron sucks so I won't be bothering with that.

Final Fantasy 7 (PS4) I decided to add this to round out my March games. Turns out I was a lot further along than I remembered. Only had Ruby and Emerald weapon and the battle arena to finish before going for the final boss. Credits are rolling as I type this. I grinded sources to get Cloud to 255 in every stat, couldn't be bothered doing it for anybody else, even with x3 speed.

Completed my 3 for the month and am about 1/3 of the way through the Division. I also had a major itch for more Street Fighter so went back and played through Arcade Mode on Ultra Street Fighter IV with a few different characters.

I think the rest of my month will be tied up with it, MP from Garden Warfare and SFV. Have an itch to finally start Life is Strange but don't know when I'll fit it in.

Did 26 on Conquest last night....will finish it up tonight.

I have no idea how much of GTA I have done...I passed some part where I had to torture some guy, then I stole something from an armored car. Impressed with the city and the visual variety, but the missions are very meh.
 
Just found this thread and thought I'll participate this month, because I'm hard at work clearing my backlog which gives me some kind weird of anxiety just sitting there. Its just not as fun playing newer games, when you know that so many games are still unplayed.

Anyways, here's what I got done this month so far:

Assassins Creed Syndicate -> that game never seemed to end..., still a good game tho
Far Cry Primal -> probably my favorite Far Cry game, love the setting
Game of Thrones Episode 5 and 6 -> eh, I expected more. Kinda weak story
Her Story -> Not really my kind of "game", I didn't care for it that much
Tales from the Borderlands -> fucking awesome, best Telltale game yet
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Hearts of Stone -> just as amazing as the main game


Ill probably get done with Far Cry Primal, A Link between Worlds and some other smaller games. March and April will be the only months where I have a lot of free time, so yeah gotta get to it.

Edit: Far Cry Primal is done.
 
My God, BLOPS 3 is sooooo bad. I can't take it anymore. I am so glad I did not pay for this and got it as part of a bundle...cause it is really terrible.

I guess people don't buy these games for the campaign. And since I don't do multiplayer shooters it is not for me.
 
Ready for U4. :)

PS3
Uncharted 2
Uncharted 3

PS4
The Wolf Among Us
The Walking Dead s.2

PSV
The Legend of Heroes: Trails od Cold Steel

I'm a Call of Duty fan and yeah, that campaign was abysmal. One of the worst in the series. Multiplayer is great tho
