Games You've Beaten in August
- Thread starter careless mango
- Start date
Overall a pretty good month for me: Planescape: Torment, Far Cry 3, The Walking Dead Season 2 Episodes 4 and 5 and The Wolf Among Us Episode 5.
Also put a ton of hours into Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition but I have yet to beat it, so it doesn't count, but will surely appear in the September thread!

I got through Rogue Legacy on Vita and a new game + run earlier in the month. I just finished my first time through The Last of Us and Left Behind on PS4 this weekend. I was so very happy with both games in such different ways.
Now to make some time to play and hopefully get the Platinum in Infamous First Light before Destiny comes out.

Got it when they had that $1 sale on PS1 games. Easily worth it.

Battlefield 4 campaign (have 200+ hours in MP, but just recently beated the campaign lol)

Mirror's Edge
Yes it's flawed, but I found it very enjoyable. It's actually one of my favorite games now. Hoping the prequel, sequel, interquel, or whatever new entry announced last year improves on it.
BioShock Infinite
The ending blew me away. Unfortunately, that's the only thing that did. Columbia is an interesting setting, but it's truly just a backdrop. Everything is just a backdrop. It was also an instance in where I only continued through the game for its story. The gameplay, or rather, gunplay since that's all there really is, was not engaging.

P.T. Was amazing, then drove me crazy for a few hours until I plugged in a mic and then finally got the fucking phonecall.
Sound Shapes, got the platinum. Death mode wasn't that hard really, only a handful took longer then 10 minutes of retries.
Shovel Knight was super awesome. Reminded me of a much more forgiving MegaMan. Died under 100 times, which is a slight accomplishment. Already started a new game+.

Liked:
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
Infamous: First Light
The Walking Dead Season 2 (Finishing Episode 5 means I finally "finished" it.)
One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2
Didn't Like:
Proteus - Less of a game, more of an "experience" Almost like doing drugs.
Very slow month for me. There could have been one more, but I finished replaying DanganRonpa a couple of hours too late

WiiU:
Lego City Under Cover
While I didn't finish it, I'm probably done Super Mario 3d World. I'm near the end of world 4-5 and and my 44 year old reflexes just aren't cutting it.
PS3:
Lego Movie The Game, story mode only but I'm not going to 100% it like i did with Lego Batman, Batman 2 and probably will do with Lego Marvel.
PC:
Octodad
Mountain (yes it does have an end game)

A bunch:
360:
Saints Row: The Third
Dead Rising
Shadow Complex
Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary
Walking Dead: Season 2, Episode 5
PS3:
Tomb Raider: Legend
Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Tomb Raider: Underworld
PS4:
inFamous: Second Son
Highlights for the month were going through the Tomb Raider remake some 15 years after playing the original, and taking that trip down memory lane. inFamous was a lot of fun, and my first real next-gen experience. And Shadow Complex is simply an excellent game. I had a great time going through and trying to find all of the power-ups to get to 100% completion, which I eventually did.
Lowlights were Dead Rising and Halo. In the case of Dead Rising, I think it was a game I probably would have enjoyed back when it came out, but too much time has passed. I just could not get into it at all. In the case of Halo, I just didn't find it to be a good campaign. First few missions were alright; the rest of the game, not so much.

Tales of Xillia 1 and 2. Even though I enjoyed them, I don't think they were really good. After the disaster that was ToGf, I'll have to remove tales from my favorite series. Maybe zestiria will be awesome, but i wouldn't bet on it.
Danganronpa. My GOTY. I was hooked from the first second to the last. I'm really hyped for the sequel. Maybe a remaster for consoles will happen one day. I'd love to see the art in 1080p (or 4k).

3DS
- Yoshi's New Island
Extremely lazy and uninspired sequel to one of the finest platformers ever made.
- Mighty Gunvolt
Came free with Azure Striker Gunvolt. Very tame.
- Azure Striker Gunvolt
Very satisfied with this.
Vita
- Mutant Mudds Deluxe
Quite enjoyable.
PS4
- P.T.
Can I count this one? It's only a playable teaser, but I poured a LOT of time into it and it's been one of the most enjoyable, unique, and significant experiences of the year for me. Love it. And scary as shit.
- Strider
This game kept reminding me of Shadow Complex out of all Metroid clones (probably because it has kind of a similar setting, visually), and it doesn't compare favorably.
Which is not to say it's bad, because it isn't, but it's just kind of... average. Nothing really separates it from its ilk.
DS
- Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations
Still not as good as the first game, but I don't think anything ever will be.
It's much better than the second game though, so that helps.
Wii U
- The Wonderful 101
Already played this last year, but jeebus it's just SO GOOD.
THE most underrated game of last year, no question.
PS2
- Fatal Frame
In preparation for Fatal Frame 5 at the end of this month!

Wonderful 101.
To say that the ending sequence was batshit crazy doesn't do it justice.

I beat Ys 1, 2, Oath, and all characters in Origin on nightmare this month Best month ever.
Ys 1 was ok, served as a nice starting point.
7.0
Ys 2 was better than 1 in every single way possible.
8.5
Oath had amazing music and fun boss fights really enjoyed it even if I died a lot of on a lot of the fights.
9.5
Orgins was by far my favorite of the 4 I beat. Having 3 characters to play through with I'd say the best boss fights in the series made it a freaking blast. By the time I was done with the game I had almost 60 hours invested.

Sniper Elite 3 (PS4)- cool game. I may replay it again on a harder difficulty one day. I liked the overall level designs and the controls. The story wasn't anything to write home about, but I enjoyed this game and would definitely like a sequel to it.
Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes - I really enjoyed this one as well. I like Kiefer Sutherland as Snake (blasphemy) and am really looking forward to The Phantom Pain. I like the open area aspects and the new control scheme. Two thumbs up.

I loved Black, even though it's wafer-thin story seemed like an afterthought. Those guns felt great...Criterion proved they could translate well to a shooter.
