Three in October - Backlog Challenge

I'll should be able to swing this. Currently aiming for:

Bastion:
I'm think I'm fairly close to the end, having collect 4 or 5 shards now, so this should be done within the next couple days.

Twilight Princess HD:
I only have the final dungeon left, might do some light collecting beforehand, but not going for 100%, so this will only take maybe an afternoon to complete.

L.A. Noire:
The game I'm least likely to finish this month, but still do-able. I've completed 9/21 of the story cases, so I'll have to see how things go time-wise.
 
My list for the month of October:

- Ys VI: Ark of Naphithhierfhv (PC)
- Mafia 3 (PC)
- Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past (3DS)
- Until Dawn (PS4)
- Grim Fandango Remastered (iOS)
- Rez Infnite (PS4)
- Dragon Quest Builders (PS4)

Beat Ys VI. Now waiting for Mafia 3.
 
Metal Gear Solid 4
Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD
-undecided-

MGS4 is done and that concludes the orginal 4 Solid games.
 
Let's see.

Trails of Cold Steel II (PS3)
Tomb Raider Definitive Edition (PS4)
Naruto: Ninja Storm 4 (PS4)
Didn't expect TR to be the first game that I cross off my list to be honest, but the DE edition reminded me why I loved the vanilla version so much back in 2013.

Anyway, I'm pretty much done with Ninja Storm 4 as well, since I had finished most of it back in September and now I'm like 2-3 hours away from finishing the last adventure part? So, that'll probably be the next one to get crossed off of my list and hopefully really soon.

The real challenge though starts after that with my unfinished second playthrough of CSI and my yet to be started new game of CSII. Wish me luck Gaf.
 
This month, I'm going for...

1. Last Window: The Secret of Cape West - I'm on Chapter 8 (out of ten), so I'm nearing the conclusion. I planned on beating it before Dragon Quest VII but... Then I bought Picross e and got distracted. I want to finish up before I forget what's going on though.

2. Until Dawn - I started this with my boyfriend some months back, but he ended up not liking it so the game fell by the wayside. Might as well finish it up for October!

3. Atelier Escha & Logy - I'm trying to catch up on Atelier games. After this one, just two more to go! Heh...

Last Window is done! A very great game. I'm going to start playing Until Dawn tomorrow, and I decided my third game would be Atelier since I'm three games behind :p
 
I don't have a lot of time this month but I am trying to get Gears of War 4 (XB1), Splosion Man (360) and AC4 Black Flag (XB1) done. I will be powering through AC4, just the mandatory missions.
 
I got lofty goals this month
Xcom 2 I'm still in Africa and it took at least 4 months to beat part 1 so good luck
Mafia 3: would be reasonable except I'm playing a ton of Xcom 2
Gear of war 4 this I'll definitely do looking forward to coop with the wife
Aragami: hopefully I can beat this as well
YSly 4 : been playing this for at least half a year
finished xcom 2 (GOTY)
Mafia 3 I'm just beginning, same with GoW, didn't end up buying aragami
 
I've already completed Firewatch, so that's one of three done.

I also hope to complete the following this month, although I'm reaching for the stars a bit here.

Zenith
Mafia III
Gears of War 4
Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20th Anniversary
Star Fox Guard
The Division
Forza Horizon 3

It's been a pretty slow month for me. I was overly ambitious.

I've finished Firewatch and Manual Samuel, and played parts of other games.
 
A little late to the party but just got activated today so 1st post !


Journey (done !)
GTA 5
Mad Max.



I wish i had played journey earlier, its so good.

Until Dawn is complete now, too. I only had two characters survive >.>

I'm finding this Atelier game really... boring. I'll get through it, though.
 
It's been a pretty slow month for me. I was overly ambitious.

I've finished Firewatch and Manual Samuel, and played parts of other games.

I finally got around to finishing up Uncharted 4. I played it a lot at launch, got sidetracked, played some more a month or so ago, and now finished the last 3-4 chapters.

I wish I'd played it over the course of a week, but oh well.

So, I've got my 3. I thought it was later in the month when I posted earlier. D'oh.

Firewatch
Uncharted 4
Manual Samuel
 
Few months ago I finished Forza H 2 on Xbo and supposed first part will be weak in comparison to 2nd. I was naive. FH1 is just brilliant! Love it. Everything is much more funny. Festival, challenges, "boss" duels and Colorado. I've never been in the States, but Colorado in this game is so cute, that I want to fly to this place, one day. Especially on autumn, when leaves on trees are colorful like in my country. FH1 is probably the best racing game I've ever played. Maybe FH3 will change my opinion in the nearest future.
Moreover I bought Firewatch on PS sale, yesterday and currently playing this. 2h in game and I like it very much. Only drops of animation are frustrating.

Let's see.

Rise of the Tomb Raider (PS4)
Tomb Raider Definitive Edition (PS4)
Naruto: Ninja Storm 4 (PS4)
So I kinda got hyped over RotTR after finishing DE and went for that next and stayed with it till the end. There is no way in hell for me to finish both my CS1's second playthrough and start CS2 this month so I replaced that with RotTR.

Now, all that is left is the title that I thought I'd finish first. I think I only have 2-3 hours worth of story related contents in Ninja Storm 4, so I should easily be able to finish it this month.
 
This month I'm aiming for Gears 3 and continuing to work on Dark Souls 3. I've already beaten Wolfenstein so that feels awesome.
 
Firewatch
Manual Samuel
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
Mafia III

I'm hoping to complete a couple of other smaller titles before the month ends. Maybe Battlefield 1, too, if I 'rent' it.
 
Environmental Station Alpha
Road to Ballhalla
THOTH
Thumper
Bioshock 2 Remastered

I've also been playing GoNNER and Teleglitch in very small amounts here and there for my rougelite fix, should be able to beat one or both before the end of the month. Right now I'm looking at playing A Link to The Past and/or TIS-100 though for the weekend.
 
My goals were pretty extensive.

Goals
Finish Prince of Persia Warrior Within and Two Thrones
Finish Transformers Devestaion
Start and Finish Resi HD
Keep working through Metal Gear V
Keep working at NFS:Rivals.

Completed
PRINCE OF PERSIA TRILLOGY. I may have cheated and youtubed both final bosses however both games had become a chore.

Other then that ive mostly played Rocket League, and a bit of Trackmania Turbo. So im 2/3 but i was hoping to do much better.
 
Finished Firewatch. I am very impressed. Probably my favourite indie game I've ever played. Unfortunately they still haven't fix drops of animation issue. Despite this problem the game is brillant. Looking forward to next Campo Santo project and believe Firewatch will be released physically one day.

Hyper Light Drifter, Uncharted 4, Tomb Raider. All A-/B+ games.

Starting on Rise of the Tomb Raider, but I feel pretty okay about savouring that one.

- Ys VI: Ark of Naphithhierfhv (PC)
- Mafia 3 (PC)
- Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past (3DS)
- Until Dawn (PS4)

- Rez Infnite (PS4)

Beat Rez Infinite. I love Area X. Will now tackle Until Dawn and Grim Fandango.
 
Firewatch
Manual Samuel
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
Mafia III

I'm hoping to complete a couple of other smaller titles before the month ends. Maybe Battlefield 1, too, if I 'rent' it.

I needed to empty some space on my harddrive, so I completed Gears of War: UE, finally. So that's number 5.
 
This month, I'm going for...

1. The Last Window: The Secret of Cape West - I'm on Chapter 8 (out of ten), so I'm nearing the conclusion. I planned on beating it before Dragon Quest VII but... Then I bought Picross e and got distracted. I want to finish up before I forget what's going on though.

2. Until Dawn - I started this with my boyfriend some months back, but he ended up not liking it so the game fell by the wayside. Might as well finish it up for October!

3. Atelier Escha & Logy - I'm trying to catch up on Atelier games. After this one, just two more to go! Heh...

All three done! Now to just work on random stuff until next month :p Maybe more Dragon Quest Builders...
 
I'll actually get this done.

Tales from the Borderlands
Steins;Gate

Both those are done and this week will be
Shantae Ricky's Revenge
Metroid Fusion
 
  1. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - about half way through, will probably finish this week.
  2. Shadow Warrior 2 - played quite a bit in the last week or so in co-op with some friends, and we should be done soon.
  3. Titanfall 2 - Judging by the reviews, seems like a short campaign I can get through.
 
Beat Halo 2, few days ago. I was very positive surprised. Finished this title many years ago and I literally hate it. Currently I like it very much. Incredible progress from Halo1. Fantastic movies. Amazing soundtrack and finally much, much better level, locations and spaces design. This weekend I am going to start Halo3 for the first time and can't wait.

Two games I really want to finish this month are:

Super Mario RPG
Final Fantasy IV (granted this is a replay, but still)

For my third, would like to finish at least one out of this list:
Alan Wake
Gears of War 4
REmake HD
Dishonored
Watch Dogs

Added and completed:
ReCore
Didn't game a lot this month, but did beat three games as well as making it to the endgame of FFIV. Think I need to grind a bit before I can finish it as I feel fairly underleveled.
 
I actually managed to squeeze in a fourth; Spec Ops: The Line finished. It was probably the best game I played in the last half a decade.
 
[WiiU]Xenoblade X - in progress
[Wii]Ju-On: The Grudge - Finished
[3DS]7th Dragon III Code: VFD - in progress

Looks like Ju-On is it for the month. I grossly underestimated how much grinding was left to do in Xenoblade X.
 
I'm not going to get to play any more tonight, or this month. My final tally:

Firewatch
Manual Samuel
Uncharted 4
Mafia III
Gears of War UE
