The home of various "master lists" of This Old Neon members' gaming accomplishments and collections. Achievements and trophies, play time, and lists of collected and completed games go here.
I've been making my updates via edits in my original post and then making monthly update summaries in a new post in the thread, to remind people that I'm still playing games silently in the background.
August was another vacation month, but I did spend some time keeping the gaming flame alive by completely replaying Final Fantasy XVI from start to finish in New Game + "Final Fantasy Mode" (essentially hard mode). Instead of just rocketing through it, I couldn't help myself but complete every quest and hunt again, essentially 100%ing the game back to back. Good game. Fun. Platinum.

XC3 DLC was really great. It was like a brand new Xenoblade game told in 30 hours (I very nearly went for 100%). Story played a lot into the three Xenoblade games so it was all great to experience as a fan of the series.

Finally finished up FFVII remake after not touching it for about a year and a half. Overall, I enjoyed it. But, I felt it was bogged up with a lot of filler content and frustratingly slow moments - cinematic moments where you have to walk slow, duck under obstacles, slip through cracks ect. The visuals and performances were all really well done and I was really just playing to move along the story.

Finally got to Portal 2. At first, I didn't think it was going to top the original, but then the game shifts about half way through and it's such a joy till the end. Really great game.

Never played the original return to dreamland on Wii, but I've played all the mainline Korby's since. I always heard this one was a bit basic, but I had a lot for fun with it. I think it helps that the remaster is beautiful and adds a lot of content. It's also just an awesome casual co-op game, played the main mode all the way through with my girlfriend. We also got a lot of enjoyment out of the mini game mode which had a lot of missions and rewards.
The actual level themes are a bit basic (grass, desert, ice, lava), and the main gimmick (hyper abilities) isn't as interesting as gimmicks seen in later games, but it still all comes together as a lovely package, particularly for multiplayer.
I should also note that I beat the main mode and mini games mode, but I haven't even touched the new epilogue campaign they added to the game. That should be fun to play.

Here's my post-September monthly update! It was largely a cleanup month. It started with me putting the finishing touches on Final Fantasy XVI hard mode for completion and the platinum trophy. Then I finished off multiple runs of Langrisser on the newest remake collection, and finally went back to Final Fantasy VII: Remake to clear the final chapters on hard mode for the platinum. I also installed the upgraded Intergrade PS5 version which popped another platinum trophy for me, although I need to complete the intermission chapters to really be done with the game.
Three new platinum trophies puts 2023 at a tie for 2nd place all-time (with 2014), and two away from becoming only the second double-digit platinum haul after the 2013 13.

2023-09-11 - Langrisser from Langrisser I & II (PS4 via PS5) - Unfortunately it's a really poor reflection of how good the first two original games are. I'm sure there are a lot of people who picked up the remake and thought "oh, so Langrisser was a series of generic brown tactics games."
2023-09-16 - Final Fantasy VII: Remake (PS4 via PS5) - It was really nice to get back to this one after being intimidated into shelving it for 3 years due to a particularly annoying sequence at the end of the game. The only trophy I needed to finish it was the hard mode clear, and I was sitting on the last chapter. Well, that sequence was still as shitty as ever, but I got it done and now I don't have it looming over me anymore. The impetus for finally finishing this off was the impending release of Rebirth, as well as a PSN deal where you can get the PS5 version of Remake with the DLC for free if you pre-order the sequel. That means I still have some stuff to check out when I install the upgraded version.
