One game I did not beat?

How about just the past year...

 

Games I Did Not Beat This Past Year (that I actually started playing and wanted to beat)

  • Dead Rising 3
  • Call Of Duty Ghosts
  • Forza 5
  • Killzone SF
  • Watch Dogs
  • Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (still working on it)
  • Outlast
  • Super Time Force

 

Games I Did Actually Beat The Past Year

  • GTA V
  • Ryse
  • Infamous Second Son
  • Wolfenstein New Order
  • Shovel Knight
  • Mario Kart 8 (well I saw the ending credits)

And I am missing a ton of games on the not beaten list. Unfortunately this is my reality. I do not have anywhere near the time I once used to have to play video games, and I do not even have kids. Just being an adult tends to take a lot of your time, and I imagine just as relevant, energy. I often find I do have some time to play games, but I would much rather just crash on the couch and do nothing just because I am mentally exhausted. Really is not fun.

 

Historically speaking the one game I never beat but wish I did...

System Shock 2

well metro redux, far cry 4, witcher 3, and any new episode of Telltale adventure games (walking dead, or game of thrones soon)  will take priority over any other for of entertainment for me (tv, movies, or hanging out with friends) 

good thing though is all of them usually take anywhere from 2 to 8 hours, and the games i love don't come out too often.

 

 

 

i also have about 6-7 other games that i kinda want to play, but they are on a back burner and will only likely get played if i get stuck in home due to flu or something like that.... otherwise they will never be finished.

stuff like other indie games (though i loved shovel knight, it is an exeption) and stuff like Skirym or Mass Effect 3  (too long for me - i dont have time to finish, and it seems pointless to sit down and play for only 20 minutes at a time).   

i completed mass effect 2 when i was very sick for 2 week, stuck at home. otherwise i would have never really played it too.

For the longest time mine was Jurassic Park on the SNES.  Game relied on way too much walking from one building to the next to find key cards and security consoles.  Add in the fact that each place was a freaking maze so even if you found the key card you had to go back and try to find the door that you found once.  As a kid I found the egg room but never knew what in the world I had to do. Oh.. and NO save point, so you had to either leave it on or start over.  Fast forward many years eventually got the emulator on my PC, found a map that showed where everything was... beat the game only to be super disappointed with the ending..

 

I guess I need a game I never beat.. I'll say I'm sad I never beat Super Mario 2

Alex Kidd in Miracle World, built into my Sega Mastersystem II

 

And I'm not surprised, it's bloody hard! I just got it for an emulator and couldn't even manage the first level. I was better aged 7!

 

I remember taking turns to complete that game with my brother whilst I was around 9 and he 7. We found that each play through you could work out what the janken outcomes would be from previous goes. Was the only way to get past Janken in the castle for us!

 

 

As for me, I would say The Ninja on the SMS was the only game I never completed. &^%@ you scrolls, &^%@ you.

JP on the SNES was awesome, tried to go back on emulators although didn't have the patience...

 

Come to think about it, i'm not sure I ever actually completed 'Zelda - A Link to the Past' either. Considering it's my all-time favourite game that's pretty bad.. Hah...

I agree mate! I have not turned on my ps4 for over a week now. Breaks my heart however work, my wife and chores become priority in an adults life.

 

I am coming up too 4 days off, 2 of which will be me the ps4 and the couch!

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models

      By zikalify · Posted

      UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.

      I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
