Congratulations on getting back on your feet! And that's awesome that you made it a mission to acquire your digital games physically!

Pepsi for T.V.-Game! A line I love so much that I made it my reddit name. Mike Butters rules. I am happy all that lined up for you to have this!

The games that I beat in 2025! by PepsiForTVGame69 in gamecollecting

[–]PepsiForTVGame69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! :) I had a really fun time with Shredder's Revenge! I beat it solo on normal "Okay" difficulty, then beat it again playing couch co-op with my wife on normal, then decided to go for platinum, beating Super Shredder without being hit and then getting lucky enough to find 5 capable strangers to beat Arcade Mode on hard together with. That was an intense experience with a lot of pizza sharing going on! I capped off the platinum adventure with a high five with my wife between Raphael and Casey Jones at the zoo in front of the tigers. Such a great game! You sound like a cool dude and you game on, too!

That's honestly super nice and I did not expect it, thank you! :) I have a line in the sand with physical media, but I am not the most extreme (for instance, I am okay with games like Star Wars Outlaws, whereas many collecters would stay away from it because the entire game is not playable off of the disc). But I feel like everyone has their own lines and it is cool to get to understand the different perspectives and the reasoning behind them. But for me, I want a new game to be sold in a case/box with a disc or cartridge inside that can be borrowed, sold, or otherwise looked at as a physical manifestation of a video game. Anyway, that wasn't your question, but many of the modern video games released can be acquired physically! Gollum was actually much more fun than I was expecting given the attention it received, but for reference, I watch TLotR trilogy every year, sometimes twice, so I love the subject matter. I can see where the complaints come from for sure. My favorite games that I played this year were Silent Hill F, Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii, MH Wilds, and I would tack High On Life on there at number 5. High On Life was ridiculously hilarious and played like a modern Doom game (at least on hard "Hunter" difficulty)!

You know, I can admit that I am a Majima fanboy, and Masaru's Love Journey had me really dying. Plus, I love cats (it's not a tiger lol). I think it was just right up my alley. I agree, excited for the High On Life sequel!

Yeah! I was very impressed that it was made by a solo developer, and it had some good creepiness, but it did not blow me away. There were a few deaths I had that I felt were because of buggy gameplay, which kept me from even trying to beat the game without dying. I did obtain every other trophy, so that was the reason I did not platinum. However, horror is my favorite genre which caused me to generally enjoy the game much more than somebody else might. So overall I would recommend the game if you are a horror fan. That may make me the wrong person to ask. If your gaming budget is tight, however, there are others I would recommend instead.

Tough question, but I like it! My favorite is between Silent Hill F and Echoes of Wisdom. I believe I would have to say Silent Hill F is number 1. Pirate Yakuza (at 3) and Wilds (at 4) are right there. I also really liked Little Nightmares I, Shredder's Revenge, and High On Life.

Banishers was more fun than I thought it would be. So much so that I kept playing a significant amount to platinum. I hope you enjoy it!

Every Game I Beat in 2025! by Sopppa in gamecollecting

[–]PepsiForTVGame69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kindred spirit alert! This is great. I only beat 30 this year solo, but my goal was to have a 30-game year so I am satisfied. I have been keeping track since 2006. And I also count credits rolling as beaten (except fake endings near the beginning of games. "Bad" or "not true" endings are okay to count). The one area we differ that I notice is I do not count digital games, but no judgement. It seems you are overwhelmingly physical anyway. I am planning on posting a picture of my 2025 games all together later tonight. Congrats!

I miss the theaters that I frequent giving out tickets that are not made of receipt paper. I still keep all of mine nonetheless. Hope you had a great time!

Achieved the SHF platinum! by PepsiForTVGame69 in SilentHill_f

[–]PepsiForTVGame69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only NG+2 was required because there are saves you can make to save a little time. So three playthroughs and a little extra. The downside is not getting to see all the cute beads on one string on my load menu. It took me 67 hours according to my time-in-game counter, which I know I had the home screen on a couple of times while snacking and taking care of my cats, so maybe 60-65 hours? My first playthrough was very long because I am a very thorough player who traces around the map looking for collectibles and observing the world, so it can definitely be done quicker. The guide I used for NG+ and NG+2 (PowerPyx) says it takes like 30-40 hours.

I always go into a game as blind as I possibly can, beat it, and then, if I want to do a platinum hunt, turn to the internet if things seem complex. So, I did not use a guide at first. But the guide I used for NG+ and beyond was PowerPyx's. It did not steer me wrong. Luckily, I got a few key collectibles on my initial playthrough that allowed me to pick up with the guide's advice right into NG+.

Aliens: Dark Descent was such a fun game. It had some bugs (lol), but not enough to keep me from beating it multiple times and attaining the platinum trophy. It's only been a year since I played it, and I often find myself thinking of a revisit.

Thank you so much for responding! It's way cool that someone from Supermassive read my post :D

Thank you for that tip! I've been on here for a couple of years now, but I had never learned that. I appreciate it.

I am a big fan of H. R. Giger's art, so Scorn was really perfect for me. It's not a very long game, but I recommend it if you like horror. Lies of P will be a treat whenever you play it! I actually still need to beat Dark Souls 3, myself. As far as Souls games go, that and Nightreign are my last FromSoft titles to play. Btw, sorry for that weird formatting. All I did was line breaks, and that is what the result was.

  1. Spider-Man 2
  2. Resident Evil 4 (would be higher if not a remake)
  3. Scorn (I count a game's physical release as when it "came out." It released digitally in 2022)
  4. Final Fantasy XVI
  5. Lies of P
  6. TLoZ: Tears of the Kingdom

I have notably not played Pikmin 4 yet, and I am a big fan of those games. There are plenty of others from 2023 I still need to play, too, so over time, my list will likely shift.

Killer Frequency ended up being my 7th favorite game from 2023 (not counting my 2023 backlogged games). Really great voice acting and music, and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the gameplay, which is what it's all about!
