Agamon Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 XB1 Life is Strange (1114 min) PC Democracy 3 (610 min) Dicey Dungeons (73 min) Oculus Quest Beat Saber (376 min) FitXR (75 min) [was BoxVR] Considering how much I liked playing it 5 years ago (and it was 5 years ago, not 7, the "2013" date on the save file was the in-game date), I was surprised how much I forgot about LiS, aside from a few key moments, including pretty much everything about the last two episodes. So that made replaying a lot more enjoyable. The first episode is free on all the platforms it's on (which is everything) if you've never checked it out. Saw that Democracy 4 is coming out and remembered I have, but never played, Democracy 3. One of the campaigns, I tried simulating the current administration in the US. Through the 4-year term, GDP dropped like a rock, which lead to Extreme Nationalism, which lead to Race Riots, and the term ended with Contagious Disease. Story checks out. Dicey Dungeons is a cool "dice builder", definitely check more of that out this week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since both are Xbox One games, it dominates the systems list. As usual many games are recurring from last week, though with as many as 16 new entries this week we're now up to 882 unique entries. We ended 2019 with 665 unique games so that is an increase by almost 1/3 in 7 months. Edited August 4, 2020 by carlsson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Pendleton Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I think you missed my 154 minutes of StarCraft II... So what should I do if I play both the Japanese and US versions of the same game on the same system? I'm guessing list them together, unless you specifically want to track them separately since the titles are slightly different. I'm also not planning on playing the US version next week, anyway, since I mostly was playing to help do some bug testing for the guys over at GameFAQs.

Steven Pendleton Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) Lots of Mary Skelter 2 in Japanese again but on a different system, not a whole lot of anything else aside from a few random visual novels. No Strange Journey this time. PS4 Kangokutou Mary Skelter 2 - 91 Japanese PS4 version. Bug testing to help people over on GameFAQs who found a potential solution to a strange glitch. Switch Bokuhime Project - 79 Flowers: Les quatre saisons - 32 My reading ability is still not good enough to play Flowers in Japanese. The kanji is so difficult that there is occasional furigana so native Japanese readers can read properly. Some day... Kangokutou Mary Skelter 2 for Nintendo Switch - 1,329 Yes, that is the full title of the Japanese version. Maybe they thought you might forget what system you are playing it on...? According to Famitsu, this version only sold 2,056 copies before dropping off the sales chart completely, so I imagine it will be very expensive among hardcore Japanese Switch collectors in 20~30 years. Not sure if times for this and the US version count together or not... Mary Skelter 2 - 189 US version. Bug testing for GameFAQs people again. So yeah, I'm not sure if the US and Japanese versions count collectively or not, but if so, the total between the two Switch versions is 1518. I won't be playing this version next time, anyway. Nurse Love Syndrome - 29 Sonic Mania Plus- 94 GBA Metroid Zero Mission - 44 PC AM2R - 9 I love this game, but I wasn't feeling it at the time, so I only played for 9 minutes and quit.

Sorry, yes I overlooked that figure so I'll include it with this week instead. Generally if two regional versions of the same game are identical except for language, we group them. If they differ in more aspects, perhaps level designs, gameplay or something that makes one version significantly different, we list them separately. In the case of Mary Skelter 2, I have no clue if the two just differ in language or also in content. For the moment I keep them apart, but can combine if that makes more sense.

For Japanese and US versions of MS2 for Switch, same game is the same, no change other than language. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eltigro Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I haven't played any Gran Turismo games since GT3 A-Spec on the PS2. So I remedied that this week... Playstation 2 Gran Turismo 4 - 361 min (Started up GT4 and was surprised that there was an option to import some licenses and money from a GT3 game save. Heck yea! I hate doing the license tests in GT games. Anyway, after that I had a pretty good time with looking at the cars available and buying, upgrading, and racing them. Looking to probably put more time into this next week, but possibly not as much as I did this week.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy B. Coyote Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 This might be one of, if not the, smallest weeks for gaming my household has had all year but there was a still a fair bit of fun to be had. First I finished my play through of the Doom 3 expansion Resurrection of Evil, then I set about refurbishing an old beat up Game Boy Color that a friend gave me for free. I ended up replacing the shell and buttons as well as installing a brand new backlit TFT screen and glass screen protector sized to fit the slightly smaller than usual screen. It came out great and it's been a ton of fun playing Game Boy Color games with it, and I especially like that since it's got a TFT screen rather than an IPS one you can still play it outside under natural light without the screen washing out. As far as the other games played this week go, I think I've kinda lost interest in Animal Crossing at this point but the misses made up for it by logging a couple more hours in Untitled Goose Game. She's almost done with it at this point I think, it seems to be a pretty short game. Looking ahead to next week, I'll be continuing my play through of Tomb Raider on my new Game Boy Color and getting to the current round of Atari 2600 High Score Club games. That's all the news that's fit to print for this week! Until next time, and as always, happy gaming to you and yours!

The dungeon crawling role playing game Mary Skelter 2 in two different versions combined into one score (1329 + 189 min) takes the title this week, ahead of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Honrable mention to StarCraft II which would've been #9 last week if I hadn't overlooked it. Instead it helps the PC platform up to 3rd place on a list dominated by Switch after a few weeks downtime, ahead of the Xbox One. This week is also one of the few where the modern tracker sees more than 10 different systems, leaving iOS off the list.

Steven Pendleton Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Yay, Monday. I noticed that I've been playing a lot of games with Imai Asami in them recently. There will most likely be several more soon, too. PSP Corpse Party - 85 The Japanese version of this game recently celebrated the 10th anniversary of its release on the 12th. Unfortunately, I let one of my friends borrow my Japanese copy about 5~6 years ago and haven't asked for it back yet. Imai Asami is in this game. Switch Kangokutou Mary Skelter 2 for Nintendo Switch - 1440 This looks like a nice even 24 hours and it is since I'm using the save file's play time to keep track, but the game actually crashed, so I lost some time here. Imai Asami is in this game, too, as well as its prequel and unreleased sequel, which I played a few weeks ago and I heard her voice there when I was playing. She's also in Nurse Love Syndrome, which I played last time but not this time. I can't get away from her~ Sonic Mania - 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy B. Coyote Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 A good week for gaming, though in spite of my best intentions I never did seem to get around to playing the Atari 2600 High Score Club games for the round this week. Ah well, I've still got another week to play them, and what I did spend a good chunk of time playing was Tomb Raider on the Game Boy Color! My goodness I had forgotten what a long game this was, but it manages to capture the feel of the home console games so darn well that I don't mind putting the time into beating it. I've still got 3 levels left to go, but I'm getting pretty close to the end at this point. What I did manage to finish this week was the final expansion for Doom 3, The Lost Mission. The misses also wrapped up her play through of Untitled Goose Game on the Switch and put a good bit of time into Final Fight CD for the Sega CD. She was hoping to be able to beat it but the game kept crashing on the second level so I think that one will be going on the back burner for the foreseeable future. Anyway, that's about all there is to report for this week! Until next time, and as always, best wishes and happy gaming to you and yours.

Agamon Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Oculus Quest Beat Saber (287 min) FitXR (93 min) Definitely the shortest amount of play time I've recorded since joining in here... Getting ill Monday morning and not really recovering until Thursday put a huge dent in the gaming, and when I was feeling better, I continued just watching tv and movies, aside from getting back into my daily VR workout. I do want to finish Hitman and get started on something new this week though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbox 360 - 33 min. Total 3307 minutes and 10 different games on 7 different systems. A rather relaxed week - perhaps many enjoying the weather, going back to work or schools, being ill or something else. In any case, Kangokutou Mary Skelter 2 on the Switch wins for the second week in a row, followed by Call of Duty Modern Warfare and then a huge gap down to Beat Saber in 3rd place. Actually all 10 played games enter the top list this week. Systems wise, the Switch and Xbox One also retain their positions. Call of Duty Modern Warfare becomes the second game to beat 30K minutes, a target that Animal Crossing: New Horizons for a good while appeared to be approaching though it has slowed down a lot recently and still sits at 29100 min. PUBG also has dried up but still is undisputed overall #1 at almost 80K minutes. In case anyone didn't find time to post your times, please add those below and I'll include them for next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrVenkman Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I’ve been doing a bunch of electronics and retro-tinkering for the past two weeks - not much gaming for me personally. However this week I have played NO MAN’S SKY for 90 minutes and MS Flight Simulator 2020 for 190 minutes yesterday, both on PC (Win10). I’m sure there will be much more time into Flight Sim this week. As an AA subscriber, I can edit this post for the next 30 days so I’ll try to update it through the week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Pendleton Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Only 1 game this time. Some extremely interesting coincidence resulted in me getting EXACTLY the same time as last week somehow, and I checked my math 5 times just to be sure. Switch Kangokutou Mary Skelter 2 for Nintendo Switch - 1440 Finished Mary Skelter 2 and ended the week 8 hours and 17 minutes into the remake of its prequel. I somehow managed to cut my time from my previous playthrough on the PS4 by an incredible 11~12 hours while still doing everything in the game, including both endings. I used a timer for both endings and added those times to the time on my save file since you can't save after beating either of the 2 final bosses because the game is over (or is it...?). This was a good idea since it turns out that the true ending is almost 2 hours long while the bad end lasts for 25 minutes. The game is over, but the game is not over yet... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
