Games to Revisit
Getting copies of games to review is really awesome, and reviewing a game pushes me to beat it if I can in the time allotted. However, I don't always get to play as much as I want of a game, due to actually getting the review out in a timely manner and other scheduling things (stupid real life).
Of course Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate will go here. My buddy Mark Tatsu and I were so close to the end, and we've fought all but like 4 monsters. If it wasn't for him getting married and other silly things we would have done it, too. Now, I'm not advocating that he give up his life to play more Monster Hunter with me, but he definitely could have tried to work it in. It's not like I wasn't making time for it, and he doesn't even have kids.
I've played a few visual novels in 2015, and I enjoyed them. For Amnesia: Memories, Norn9 and Code: Realize, I would really like to get all the endings, and the platinum trophies if I could. Another platinum I'd love to get is for Lost Dimension. I really liked that game and would love to have enough time to finish my second run and hopefully get the rest of the trophies. Well, maybe a third run so I can save my waifu Mana...
There are three other RPGs that I would add to the list of games I want to play more. Omega Quintet was a game I found humorous and fun, and would love to put another 30 hours into. Sword Art Online RE: Hollow Fragment is also on that list, since it is basically two games merged into one. I liked it and would love to have to time to pour into it and get the platinum. To round out the RPG list is, predictably, Disgaea 5. I've really enjoyed the series, and I would like to devote more time to leveling up my characters and doing post-game stuff and a lot of the extra things you can do in the game.
Since I enjoy hack and slash games, I might as well include some recent Warriors games. Samurai Warriors 4-II, Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3 and One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 still have a handful of content I haven't completed, and I want to. Those should be easier because it is very possible to pick up and play, and my son enjoys playing them too. I could play with him or have him play them and grind me out some drops, hahaha. Anyway, I'd also like to add Dynasty Warriors Gundam 3, since I haven't finished that one off and I've had it for years. Good game, though.

Year End Wrap-Up, part 1
Favorite Games of 2015
First and foremost, I'll talk about some of the top games I played in 2015, whether I reviewed them or not. Might as well start with the good news, which is something I don't often do.
If you know me or listen to the XER/ZR/WhateverItIsThisWeek podcast, the first choice should be obvious. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate was a lot of fun. It had some significant changes to the movement of the characters, most of which was really needed. I was afraid how it would alter the experience, but I thought the changes were good and the game was a lot of fun. There's also a lot of content, since this is the expanded version. Lots of new monsters to kill, and I had a lot of fun playing it. Fun by myself, and a blast with friends.
Next up is one of my favorite games I played this year, Lost Dimension. It was a really fun strategy RPG with a fun twist: there were traitors in your group. Each of the five floors of the tower tasked you with figuring out who the traitor was, and getting others to follow your choice. The traitor was then erased from existence. Battles were fun and you could equip the power sets of any executed party members, making for some neat combinations. I know many people didn't like it much but I really enjoyed the game.
Of course Disgaea 5 would be on my list. I like strategy RPGs, and Disgaea is still their king. Fun characters, new troop types and some great additions and changes to the Netherworld made this a great entry in the series. I'm really tempted to buy the season pass for the extra characters and levels. I'm not always fond of what seems like every game having a season pass, but I liked Disgaea 5 enough that I'm tempted to shell out money for more content.
Even though I have not finished the review of the game yet, Eiyuu Senki should be on this list. No harm in being thorough, right? The game is really fun, even without all the AO-rated stuff. I often debate if I should continue assaulting my next target, or simply do more personal events. It's not too hard, and I've found the game to be funny, too. Look forward to the full review early next year.
Lastly, I really liked Divinity: Original Sin. There were a lot of small problems, but they didn't add up to enough to ruin the whole game. Plus, I played 95% of it with my wife. Couch co-op is a lot of fun with a good partner, and the game worked beautifully for both of us. There are a lot of ways to build a character, and I have another one or two that I'd love to try out, even if it is by myself. A really good RPG that takes awhile to play. Just be prepared to get your butt handed to you sometimes. I'm hoping the sequel will also makes its way to consoles.
