This… was… awesome! The little fucker gave me a few mini heart attacks, and sometimes just knowing that he’s around was enough to get my heart racing a little bit :D This game just reminded me why I like horror games, it was reeally fun and didn’t feel too long, although some bits in the story could’ve been sped up slightly.
I totally didn’t copy the screenshot layout from Santa because I was jealous that she made it look so nice….

This is such an amazingly stunning looking game, I spent so much time just going around following the fish and looking everywhere for everything!

I found this to be one of the best narrative experiences in a while, I just wanted to read more and know more about the story and what was happening, I was completely immersed in the game and the characters and needless to say I’ll be picking part 2 & 3 in the future, just need to clear my backlog a bit… >.>

Brütal Legend
28 hours playtime
53 of 59 achievements
Sooo this one… I won it a long time ago as I heard great things and was really curious, don’t get me wrong the game’s story is good but… it drags -.- a lot… the combat is fun for about 10-15mins as nothing really changes throughout the game but at least the soundtrack is good (if you’re into heavy metal), it’s not quite 100% complete but all I have left are the MP achievements… who knows… I might end up getting them in the future at some point!
Overall I’m really happy with all the games as they were all fun in one way or another, now to tackle some more games!
(>’-‘)> <(‘-‘<) ^(‘ - ‘)^ <(‘-‘<) (>’-‘)>
Awesome job on completing all those games (and an extra pat on the back for 100%ing Bad Rats :P) I love your screenshots!
I really need to finish both Hand of Fate and The Banner Saga. I was enjoying both at the time but set them down, need to remedy that.
Heh it was actually a bit difficult to 100% bad rats with the terrible phisics the game has lol
At least that’s done now tho and I can say I’ve played the best game ever :D
Great progress! I can’t help but think you had to sacrifice yourself for that second screenshot in Alien: Isolation :) I haven’t played the game so I don’t know if you can actually outrun that abomination.
I think in the whole game I managed to outrun it once or twice, it is definitly a fast running alien tho :P
Whoa, that’s a mighty set of completions! I also worked on Hand of Fate for my current batch but satisfied myself with getting a little over 50%. I wasn’t willing to beat myself up trying for so many cheevos that depended on succeeding with you luck being cursed. ;)
Good job! :D
heh thanks! :D That is one thing that did frustrate me with Hand of Fate, a few of the achievements specially the one to defeat the dealer took me a fairly large amount of tries ><
Great progress!
I really need to get around to playing Alien Isolation but its achievements are scaring me a lot more than the game ever could :D
It was actually really fun, I thought the achievements would make it annoying, but I only needed 2 playthroughs, one on hard difficulty and one to pick up the rest of the achievements on easy :P
Congrats on the progress! Those are some pretty heavy time sinks you beat there.
Very nice and impressive stats. In only 5 months I would say that’s really a lot and some games there are best of the best if not just super good (imho, of course). Congrats :)
Amazing progress ‘irockulisten’!!! Really long games you completed there.
Just completed Middle Earth few weeks ago (I guess) too.. Played it a long time ago in a friend account and loved it, so I had to go through it again to complete :p It was nice and all, but The Bright Lord DLC wasn’t that good in my opinion. They just added armor to all uroks and made them be aware of us quickly and I didn’t like the gameplay… anyway, it was good after all.
Again, congrats completing all those games! :D
Those are some great games you completed … good work on that! I really enjoyed Brütal Legend (I have 1 less achievement than you :)) but couldn’t grind out the last of them.
Yeah the problem with the achievements in this game is that they are fairly grindy, specially now i’ve got the win 50MP battles so the only real way of getting it is to team up and win trade with someone ><
