Most Popular List Game

Saw the recent thread about the issue with the most popular list, but I like to play a little game with the most popular list and wondered if anyone else did, or maybe someone will enjoy my game.

I like to go through each page of the list and see how many games I've beaten on that page. As long as I've beat a game on that page, I go onto the next and see how far I can get. One day, once my backlog is reduced (will that day ever come?) I may actually use this as a basis to choose a game to play so I can get further through the pages.

I don't count games twice, for example if The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3DS Remake is on page 7 and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (N64) is on page 18, I wouldn't count the page 18 one.

Got to page 44, I guess that's good enough lol

got to 70 something... then I miss-clicked and lost my progress

Wow, you all got way further than me! I usually get some where in the 20s.

I had to give up around there because it was taking a while.

Working on it now... :)

Cool idea, I got to page 23 which was further then I expected to be honest.

I got to page 57. Quite surprised by this.

Anyway, in the immortal words of Bruce Forsyth...

Page 1 too, lol.

Didn’t get past page 1 😆.

45

Awesome idea! I got to page 88, there were a few games I had played a bunch but can't considered beat like Forza Motorsport 6 and Sea of Theives. They are damn near endless.

Page 49. Not half bad. I didn't think I would go beyond the 30s, but I went a lot further than I expected. (Out of curiosity I kept going and it was page 56 where I was finally stopped as the next couple of pages after that didn't contain anything I played.)

Surprisingly enough... I had to stop at the second page... :S

Edit: If I beat a game on the second page, I will then be able to go through many more pages...

I got to 52. I need to beat Demons Crest on Switch to get further.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses->Inside ->Alan Wake ->Resident Evil 4 -> Borderlands->Octopath Traveler ->Left 4 Dead 2 ->Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons ->South Park: The Stick of Truth ->Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood ->Heavy Rain ->Bayonetta 2 ->The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds ->Uncharted 2: Among Thieves ->Rayman Legends ->Super Mario Galaxy ->Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze ->Gone Home ->Gears of War ->Castle Crashers ->Enslaved: Odyssey to the West ->Super Mario 3D Land ->Cadence of Hyrule ->Super Mario 64 -> A Way Out ->Ori and the Blind Forest ->SteamWorld Heist ->God of War (2005) ->Splatoon 2 ->Ape Out ->The Last of Us -> Pokémon FireRed ->Diablo III ->Hitman: Blood Money ->Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City ->Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana ->Wargroove ->Prototype ->New Super Mario Bros. -> Pokémon Silver->Super Smash Bros. Brawl ->
Saints Row: Gat out of Hell->Mario Kart Wii -> New Super Mario Bros. Wii ->Metroid -> Grow Home-> The Lord of the Rings: War in the North->Kirby's Epic Yarn -> Katamari Damacy Reroll->Ico -> Victor Vran

The page numbers are at the very end of the URL, it should look like this:

"https://howlongtobeat.com/forum.php?&thread=1780&page=1#search3"

Just replace the 3 with the page you need, simple as that.

Edit:

Heh, second time I get through and I end up at page 57, what are the odds.

Surprisingly enough... I had to stop at the second page... :S

Better get to work! I just finished up God of War's platinum trophy, and am gonna work on the platinum for Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.

I'd highly recommend either game, but Hellblade is short, and if I hadn't played FF7 again last year, I would say Hellblade was my favorite game I played last year. It's a gem that I can't recommend enough.

I have a fair amount of completions. I just don't go the "popular" way. Popular games are not necessary good. I mean, look at RDR2. It's VERY popular but so far, I've heard more negative comments than positive ones. Yet, it's a "popular" title. I'll keep playing whatever I own and have fun with it. I have completed many fun games in the past six years and I want to continue on that path. :)

Also, I do own like four games from the 2nd page in the popular list.

I got to page 115. Some of the games there I own, but have yet to beat.

I didn't mean to seem as if I were jabbing at your completions, or style. Just saying so you could get further down the list! Also, gotta take any opportunity I can to plug Hellblade.

[REDACTED]

Got to 77... Got saved by some Spider-Man DLCs though :D

I didn't expect it, but I got through 10 pages before page 11 beat me. Maybe people DO have good taste in games.

Working on it now... :)

oh it's all good - it's not a problem IMO =)

I got to page 21 :)
