Three in May - Backlog Returns 3D

This will be the first month I miss my quota; really disappointed that I couldn't get through at least 2, but work has been crazy. Seems like a lot of people might have slowed down this month going by the thread size.

May:

  • Borderlands 2
  • Alice: Madness Returns
  • Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy
 
Must Beat:
-Persona 3 Portable (Last.Damn.Boss)
-Arkham City
-Bullestorm

Bonus Points:
-Catherine
-inFamous

I'm happy with myself, this month I beat all three of the games I listed as Must Beat as well as Assassin's Creed 2. By this time tomorrow, I should have also beaten Crysis: Warhead, and Resident Evil is about 2/3rds beaten as well; I actually started on KOTOR for the first time.
 
Well, this month was full of twists and turns. Wanted to finish both persona 2s and the walking dead. Finished Innocent Sin no problem, but doing that after Persona 1 last month may have old school Persona'd me out.


Tried Dishonored, couldn't really get into it.


Beat Dark Souls PC, a game I 1000'd on Xbox, but hadn't touched the PC version(or the DLC), so I'll count it. With two days left, I got desperate, so here I am trying to get the courage to go through the last area of Amnesia before Saturday. :p


So May:

Persona 2: Innocent Sin
Persona 2: Eternal Punishment
The Walking Dead
Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition
Amnesia: The Dark Descent
 
I completely fell off the map in April so there is a lot I want to get done

PS3:
inFamous 2
Guacamelee
Spec Ops the Line
Vanquish
Sly 2 HD
Ratchet & Clank 2 HD

3DS/DS:
Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon
Phoenix Wright Justice For All
Fire Emblem Awakening

WiiU:
Super Mario World
Scribblenauts Unlimited

Doubt I'll get everything in but I can try!
hhhhhhhahahahaha

I suck. Only got those 3 done, plus Donkey Kong 3D. So 4 games for the month. I am awful! :)
 
Fire Emblem
Kingdom Hearts 3D
Pokemon conquest

Working on the character chapters, about half way done. Probably won't finish in time.
 
Damn, I failed.

I meant for FEZ, Tomb Raider, and Turok 2.

I did LoZ: Phantom Hourglass, NSMB U, Super Mario 3D land. I suck. One day, Turok 2. One day. It'll stay stuck in its case till then.

I stuck a bit closer to my "assignments", but yeah looks like I'm about to fail too. Signed up for Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, Machinarium and PixelJunk Shooter. Got the first two, but instead of PJS I veered off-course and beat Corpse Party, Art of Balance: Touch and Final Fantasy IV. Haha.

Maybe I'll sit down with it tomorrow this evening. Down to the wire!
 
Demolished my target and then some.

Binary Domain
Tomb Raider
Bioshock Infinite
Super Metroid
Devil may Cry

Even got started on Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, New Super Mario Bros U, and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D.
 
Failed this month. To be fair though I would have nearly hit it with finishing TFU, but I formatted my C Drive and didn't carry over the save and I was half way through the last level too.
 
I ended up completing nine games.

• Killzone
• Trash Panic
• Candy Box
• Imperium Romanum: Gold Edition
• Primordia
• Scratches: Director's Cut
• Sanctum
• Rebound
• Super Metroid
 
Well I just managed to sneak in a very quick one - Proteus. Though I'm not sure how much it counts, but I'm putting it here since Steam calls it a game SO THERE!

And with that I'm done for the month. I think next month (i.e. tomorrow) I'll start with The Feeble Files.
 
Did good last month. With the NHL playoffs every night, it's gonna be harder. I'm gonna go with:

Portal 2 (PC)
Rhythm Heaven (DS)
Dragon Quest IX (DS)

And Donkey Kong Country Returns (Wii) if I have time for one more.

Coudn't finish DKRC, but managed to complete the other three (well, I quit halfway through Rhythm Heaven because I'm not good at that game.
 
Actually beat 3 last month, so this month will be...

Bioshock Infinite
L.A. Noire
Uncharted 3

Bonus:
Mega Man X
Beatmania (at least to the point where I'm comfortable with it)

Met my goal!

Infinite was pretty great. Thoroughly enjoyed the story and liked most of the gameplay. After all the analyses/critiques I've read/watched/listened to, I'd call it a flawed masterpiece.

Uncharted 3 was pretty good. It was basically more Uncharted 2, and that wasn't a bad thing. I don't think it improved on much though. I enjoyed it nonetheless.

LA Noire was... Ugh. Disappointing. I had finished the above two within the first few weeks of May. It took me about 3 weeks to finish Noire. It really drags in the middle and I wasn't motivated to finish it beyond the goal I had set for myself. The ending kind of picks up, but I ended up really getting disappointed with the story. The gameplay became really repetitive as well. I admired that it was aiming for a serial detective drama, just didn't work out for a game, at least not for marathon stretches.

Finally, I started playing Beatmania. I'm nowhere near good, but I guess you could say that I'm comfortable with it. I can do most songs in beginner with few issues, but advancing beyond that is an almost insurmountable brick wall. The learning curve is insane. Looking forward to pressing forward though.
 
Weird, I had thought I posted these yesterday morning but they didn't seem to stick according to my post history.

Sleeping Dogs, Nightmare at Northpoint, Year of the Snake
LA Noire Complete Edition
GTA 4
GTA 4 Episodes From Liberty City (The Lost and Damned, Ballad of Gay Tony)
Binary Domain
Tomb Raider 2013

Edit: Figured it out, there were two May threads, should try to avoid that. O.o Odd it doesn't show in my post history though.
