I wouldn't have minded more themes but last year I remember we had a lot of trouble even coming up with those six. It took a week before someone suggested Comedy to fill a blank on the list.

If you have other suggestions, I can make a note of them and bring it up later next year though!

here are some brainstorm ideas off the top of my head. I've used "involving" for some of them because they might be too rare otherwise - like there are less games centrally featuring heists but just having one is easier.

setting & scope

a cyberpunk game
a post-apocalyptic game
a game featuring exploration/travel
a game that takes place in a single town/city
a game with multiple endings

other

a game involving a heist
a game involving mental illness
a game with a slime
a game where the main character does not use a weapon
a game where you died more than 50 times
replay a game you loved as a kid (or if you didn't play games as a kid, from when you first started playing games)

I would agree with some of these challenges being added. Some such as a game where the main character does not use a weapon, a game where you died more than 50 times, replaying a game you loved as a kid, etc and of course the setting ones. I'm not sure about a game with a slime as do you mean like you play as a slime or you kill slimes? Also, mental illness is definitely a rarity in video games, I think. Would love to know what games anyone else knows that have themes of mental illness.

Anonymous Crow really wants everyone to beat Big Rigs! Thanks for creating a spreadsheet doc.

Put this spreadsheet on view only because whoever is doing that Big Rigs stuff isn't going to knock it off.

That's weird because I set it to allow anyone to view it. Maybe that's why, because I didn't actually set it to where people can put stuff on the spreadsheet. Give me a couple of minutes.

I don't know how it all works but it would need to be a spreadsheet that anyone can anyone can edit, not one where I was given permission through my email. Thanks in advance if you're able to create one, though! I'm tech-illiterate with a lot of things.

Anyone can edit this. It is public to everyone at the moment.

A new year approaches! This is the list for next year unless anyone jumps in to argue against it now. Only changes were the obvious ones to 4/5 and I doubled 47 along with changing the wording to make it clearer.

I don't mind doing the work of adding this to a google doc spreadsheet but I honestly don't know how to create such a spreadsheet in the first place (I've never really used google docs and someone created one for me last year) so I'll try to figure that out later today.

This topic has gotten purged so many times lol. Anyways.

This is only the fourth version! For a year-long topic I think that's pretty good.

Anyway, from the comments so far I'm thinking people would be happier with 5-6 hours for Challenge 47

Yes, that is an accomplishment for a year-long topic. I'm also glad that people stuck with it this year. It was fun.

So far we only have my opinion that Challenge 47 should be raised from three hours to ten, so let me know if you agree/disagree with that.

10 seems a tiny bit high. Maybe like 8?

I would say 5.

41. Beat a game with a Metascore below 70

Postal. Eh, I can see why the Metascore is 56. The game is pretty short and repetitive.

17. Beat a first-person shooter

Star Wars Battlefront II

The campaign was pretty short, and not really anything special, but I'm a huge Star Wars fanboy so I enjoyed it.

48/50

Damn man it was that short? I was going to get it, but ended up buying a new controller instead because the one I had was busted.

It took me 5-6 hours to get through it.

Eh. Quality over quantity, I guess.

Fingerbones. Forgot I had played this game at the start of the year. Actually has a messed up story once you figure everything out. 5 more to go!

Alright, that's enough interest for me! I don't mind making a spreadsheet and keeping the topic alive next year if no one else wants to. We have until the end of the year to discuss challenges too if anyone has any thoughts

Yes, we should discuss what challenges should be up for next year. I'm curious to see what is up for next year.

Grand Theft Auto III.

About time I finished this game. I have never finished it. Damn it feels good finishing a game that you have played for years, but never finished.

49. Choose a random page on TVTropes and beat something from the video game section

The page I chose was pre-ass-kicking lines.

The game that had this trope was Vice City. Tommy Vercetti has a special way with words.

"I'm going to shut that big mouth of yours!"
"Stop running, you fat slimeball!"
"I just wanted to piss you off before I kill you."
"This is the last dance for Lance Vance!"

and I'm not sure if this is when Tommy fights an NPC or not, but it still is a funny ass quote: "I did your wife you poor bastard!"

Beat Hue but doesn't seem like it would fit in any of the categories I have left. Still, nice little puzzle game.

12. Beat a game by a developer you never tried

Brothers: A Tale of Sons. Some son of a bitch spoiled this game for me a while back and that's why I put off playing it, but I still finished it anyways and at least loved what I experienced.

And 11 more to go, I think!

Now I have my own question about if something should count for a challenge! Would anyone mind if I used three loosely connected Life is Strange games for the three games in a series challenge? They'd be:

-Life is Strange
-Life is Strange: Before the Storm (it likely won't be fully released by the end of the year but I'll play the two episodes that definitely will release multiple times to make up for that)
-Love is Strange (A fanmade LiS visual novel that took me five hours to get through but isn't official)

I'm just not sure if it's right to count BtS since it won't be finished or if a fanmade thing could even be considered part of a 'series' for this challenge, but I doubt I'll finish three other games in a series so this is my only shot.

I would say it counts.
