Well I failed the beat one game thing pretty quickly. I still have been playing a lot of Borderlands 2 though. Other than that I bought 3 games so I better start beating some more games soon so I can actually eat into my backlog and not add games to it.

I just earned my first of four Platinum trophies for the year (The Talos Principle), putting me at 14% overall resolution completion.

Re: 2016 New Year's Gaming Resolutions
Beat : SD - The Great Battle (SFC)
I picked up this quirky SFC cart for next to nothing. It turned out to be a surprisingly fun little top down run and gun that won't win any awards for innovative gameplay but has bags of character and is perfectly accessible to a westerner. I beat it on easy using Gundam and will probably go for the :C: by beating it on Normal.

Re: 2016 New Year's Gaming Resolutions
I went a little crazy and bought 5 games. Super Metroid, Unravel and Witcher were all on sale. This is going to make this goal a lot harder.

Re: 2016 New Year's Gaming Resolutions
I beat Tales of Phantasia today to make it four down six to go. I found parts of it enjoyable and it was technically impressive for a SNES game although it started to drag on like most of these RPG's do towards the end. They tried a little twist in the ending but I generally find that none of these highly rated RPG's can hold a candle to the Quintet games when it comes to philosophical 16 bit storytelling.A Beta Fu7ure wrote:

This victory also takes me to 50%/50% in terms of beaten/unbeaten Snes games. The next one to fall will put me into the lead!

Re: 2016 New Year's Gaming Resolutions
So far I'm doing not bad with my goals. Layton and Pheonix Wright are done, currently have beaten more games than I have bought, only bought 2 Amiibo, and I believe I'm at 3-4 PS4 games finished.The Shoemaker wrote:Alright here we go
1. Play one of BGE's top games in any of the brackets (main or special, giving myself lots of room here)
2. Finish Zelda Link's Awakening (had this since 2011)
3. Finish Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy (another one that has gone on too long)
4. Finish Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney (need to finish at least the first one before moving onto Prof Layton Vs. Phoenix Wright)
5. Finish more games than I buy
6. Spend less on Amiibo (bought around 25 in 2015, shouldn't be hard)
7. Finish 5 PS4 games
I'll add more if I can think of more, but this should give me plenty to do for now.

I need to beat one more game I've never beaten before, get two platinum trophies, make up 11% more PSN level progress, and beat The Wind Waker.Kong Wen wrote:I. Beat at least 6 games I have never beaten before.

There's a lot of synergy between these goals. I effectively only have to beat The Wind Waker and then get the two trophies. Honestly, building up the motivation to boot up the Wii U is going to be the hardest gaming accomplishment I face for the rest of the year.
