This Old Neon Forum

It's nearly 2016 so I thought I'd make a thread early this year for everyone to get in their gaming resolutions before Jan 1.

Make sure to only post 2016 resolutions here and not your completed 2015 resolutions. Use the 2015 gaming resolution for anything 2015 related.

Super Mario Bros. 3 or The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past will be the game I'm playing.

This is a good one!

Will have to think on my resolutions.

I'm gonna beat Xenoblade X and Eiyuusenki: The world Conquest on hard mode.

I was way too ambitious last year, so I'll be a little more reasonable this year. We'll see how that flies.

1 - Get a platinum on a Vita game.

2 - Beat a PS1 game.

3 - Beat 7 arcade games

This will be similar to my resolutions from last year, tuned to the results I achieved.

I. Beat at least 6 games I have never beaten before.

1. 2016-01-26 - Ultra Street Fighter IV (PS4)
2. 2016-06-13 - Gone Home (PS4)
3. 2016-07-04 - Little Inferno (Steam)
4. 2016-07-05 - Knightmare Tower (Steam)
5. 2016-07-19 - Life Is Strange (PS4)
6. 2016-08-02 - Severed (Vita)

II. Earn at least 4 new Platinum trophies.

1. 2016-04-02 - The Talos Principle (PS4)
2. 2016-07-19 - Life Is Strange (PS4)
3. 2016-08-02 - Severed (Vita)
4. 2016-08-07 - I am Setsuna. (PS4)

III. Reach PSN level 22.

Progress: 20% through Level 22.

COMPLETE - IV. Beat 2 games on Steam.

1. 2016-07-04 - Little Inferno
2. 2016-07-05 - Knightmare Tower

V. Beat the highest-ranked game in the 2015-16 "BEST GAME EVER!!!" Project that I haven't already finished.

1. 2016-xx-xx - The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD (Wii U)

Hope I am not biting off more then I can chew here. Esp as most of those are RPGs, and tricky when you have limited game time.

Beat Xenoblade Chronicles & Xenoblade X
Finish Tales of Vesperia & Tales of Xillia
Finally Play Pandoras Tower
Finish Mega Man X3 and Mega Man 7
Try and give FFVI and Chrono Trigger a replay
Beat Yosh's Woolly World
Beat Bravely Default before playing sequel

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.

Started strong with an early Beat/Complete in the year hopefully for the sake of my massive backlog this continues.

II. Beat 1 game every month (Not an average of 1 a month but actually beating a game every month of the year) - IN PROGRESS
Jan. - Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective (DS)

III. Beat or Complete 1 game every 2 months. (Excludes games added in II.) - IN PROGRESS
Jan/Feb. - Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective (DS) [C]

V. Beat 5 games from an IP I've never beaten - IN PROGRESS
