Topic: Games you've recently beat

@KratosMD Wowzer - that would take me 3 months to get through all these, well done

Quick question, would you recommend Starfox 64 3d? I am on the fence about getting it.

Star Fox 64 3D was my first 3DS game when I got it in September of 2011. Just playing through the game itself doesn't take long, since its a rail shooter, but there is a massive amount of replayability with alternate levels, an entirely different ending to get than the normal one (it's much cooler, imo), challenge medals for getting a certain score on a stage (you have to be pretty perfect to get all of them, honestly: I've dropped thirty of more hours into the game and still haven't beaten everything), etc. Offline MP is also a lot of fun if you have a friend who is also playing it (although the lack of online mp is a shame).

@KratosMD @Ralizah Long story short but I had picked up a second hand PS3 that had been banned from PSN. I took it back to the store but when a friend heard, they gave me their old PS3 and I exchanged the PS3 for a 3DS. I got it primarily for zelda classics (haven't played Ocarina since I played it round a friends back in the day) but I'm looking for some other cheap classics!

I played Starfox to death on the SNES but never played on the 64 and I noticed it was now a Nintendo Select in Europe.

@KratosMD 3DS is a "desert island" system for me. I can't think of another system that has so many games I absolutely love.

@Rudy_Manchego Star Fox 64 is one of the best rail shooters ever made, and the 3DS remaster is the definitive version. OoT looks so much nicer on the 3DS. Also, I highly recommend Majora's Mask 3D as well: QoL changes were made to the game that make it much less frustrating than the N64 original.

Other great games:

• Super Smash Bros. for 3DS
• Animal Crossing: New Leaf
• Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
• Persona Q
• Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse
• Fire Emblem: Awakening
• Code Name: S.T.E.A.M.
• Mario Kart 7
• Super Mario 3D Land
• Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D
• Fantasy Life
• Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
• Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward
• Multiple Ace Attorney and Professor Layton games, including a crossover!

Earthbound: I wasn't too happy with the ending, but the journey was quite enjoyable. I do feel that the game is very overrated though.

@Rudy_Manchego How the heck does a PS3 get banned from PSN didn't know that could happen.

@KratosMD @Ralizah Thanks for the recommendations. I got Ocarina of Time which I am going to jump into as my next portable title after I finally finish BOTW (got to be over 100 hours now - I tend to travel a bit for work so I sometimes hammer my portables then not play it for a week or two but I am never without one). I think I will go for Starfox 64 after payday this week as I fancy something that is pick up and play to complement the longer OOT. The only thing I don't like about the 3DS is how well the games hold their value which means it is harder for me to hoover up cheap games - but then this is Nintendo and the best games always do! I've also never played a Monster Hunter game either.

@Tasuki Nor did I, I just assumed it was accounts. Basically if a console is ever banned it will not accept any sign in attempts to access the Sony network. So you can play disc based games but can't get to the PS store, access trophies, get DLC and all that stuff. No way you can ever get it changed. Essentially there are three different strikes. Temporary account ban, permanent account ban, console ban.

I was worried the second hand store wouldnt take it back because it technically worked but they were fine about it. They test it with a disc but nothing else.

I've recently beaten Berserk and the band of the hawk.

The game heats up 4/5 missions in but then descends into rubbish once Griffith leads you to the God hand 12 missions later. From medieval brilliance to high fantasy guff in the biggest bait and switch I've ever seen in an anime crossover.

Only diehard musuo fans need apply. The games actually left me empty inside.

Completed and Plat Horizon, very good game even if the missions are very samey.

I know I'm late to the party but I finished Life is Strange over the weekend. All I can say is that I'm in love with this game and I can't wait until the next one.
I highly recommend it to those looking for a good story. The soundtrack is great too!

Downwell. Finally I went down well and finished that game. So many times I messed up the final boss. I feel like it took me way longer than it should have done, but only 6.7 % of players see the end credits, so I feel OK about it.

@Wesker I have played that, and that is a accomplishment! That game is friggin hard.

Surely it should be complete, not beat. Has someone else already said this?

@nathanSF 'Murica

@ellsworth004 Thanks, bro. It's a good game.

Beat Castlevania Bloodlines on the Genesis (or Mega Drive for all you Brits ) One of my favorite Castlevania games of all time. Yeah this game doesn't get the praise that Super Castlevania IV on SNES got but honestly I thought out of the two Bloodlines was better. For one thing the story was more original then Super Castlevania IV which was just a reboot of Castlevania on NES. It just amazes me that Konami hasn't rereleased this game at all especially since Portrait of Ruin was the sequel to Bloodlines.

@Tasuki Konami should do a multiplat Castlevania Collection featuring all of the different Castlevania games. I'd pay top dollar for that.

@Ralizah That would be awesome. Only thing is there are so many and some of them just don't fit in. (I am looking at you Castlevania 64). If the did make a Castlevania Collection IMO the should break them up kinda like Capcom did with the Mega Man Collection. Maybe something like

Castlevania The Belmont Legacy I
Castlevania
Castlevania II: Simon's Quest
Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse
Bonus: Super Castlevania IV

Castlevania: The Belmont Legacy II
Castlevania: Rondo of Blood
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Bonus: Haunted Castle

Castlevania: The Morris Legacy
Castlevania: Bloodlines
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
Bonus: Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia

Castlevania: The Soma Legacy
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Bonus: Harmony of Dissoence

Or something like that.

@Tasuki OH I WOULD SO BUY THOSE!

seriously though we need a new Castlevania game it's been long enough but with the way Konami is right now i doubt we will get anything other than Yu-Gi-Oh games and Pachinko Machines

@FullbringIchigo Yeah the Lord of Shadows series was bad, but I doubt anymore will happen cause even if sales were good, Hideo Kojima's studio did those and well....

Even though Igarashi is gone as well, I don't see why a good Castlevania game can't be made especially since several came out without his involvement.
