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

Metro 2033

 

i am waiting for metro redux to complete both games.    i completed the newer one and loved it.   the old one i got stuck in the middle and stopped playing, but now i want to replay the new updated 2033 a lot.

I have tons of games on my drive waiting to be played, but work is consuming most of my day :/

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

  • Like 1

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!

 

Cheers

    • Meta announces a major leadership change at WhatsApp by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta has announced a major leadership change at WhatsApp, with Will Cathcart stepping down after seven years of leading the world's largest messaging platform. CRED CEO and founder Kunal Shah will take over as the next global head of WhatsApp. CRED is an Indian fintech company focused on creditworthy consumers. As part of the transition, Meta is also making a minority investment in CRED through its Series H funding round. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Will Cathcart will remain at Meta and move into a new role focused on building new products from the ground up. Cathcart led WhatsApp during a major growth phase, helping the app reach more than 3 billion users worldwide. He also played a key role in expanding WhatsApp’s business offerings while keeping privacy and end-to-end encryption central to the product. Meta’s Chief Product Officer, Chris Cox, said Kunal Shah was selected after a search for a leader who understands WhatsApp’s global scale and future potential. In a leaked internal memo, Cox described Shah as a “serial founder” and one of India’s most respected entrepreneurs, adding that he brings “entrepreneurial energy” and a strong product mindset to the role. As part of the Series H funding round, CRED is raising ₹8,550 crore, or about $900 million, in a round led by Meta. The funding values CRED at ₹43,239 crore, or about $4.5 billion, on a post-money basis. It is important to note that this investment will not give Meta access to CRED customer information. Kunal posted the following on X regarding his new role at Meta: Although Kunal Shah will be stepping away from his operating role as CRED CEO, he will retain his personal shareholding in the company.
    • It wouldn't be hard for me to turn off my TV, if I had one. For one thing, I never scroll Instagram. The only reason I have an account is because Meta created one when it merged the account systems for its various services.
    • OpenAI's new GPT-5.5-Cyber tops Claude Mythos 5 in vulnerability benchmark by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI today announced a major expansion of Daybreak, a cybersecurity initiative designed to help defenders find, validate, and fix software vulnerabilities earlier in the development process. The availability of powerful AI models has definitely changed the cybersecurity landscape by making vulnerability discovery much faster. However, the bigger bottleneck for the industry is now patching those vulnerabilities. Impacted software teams need to validate the discovered issues, understand their impact, develop fixes, test them, and deploy patches. Back in March, OpenAI launched a preview of Codex Security, which uses agentic reasoning with automated validation to discover high-impact issues and actionable fixes specific to the codebase. Since then, it has scanned more than 30 million commits across over 30,000 codebases; more than 70,000 findings were marked as fixed by human reviewers, while over 500,000 findings were automatically determined to be fixed. Now, OpenAI is releasing an updated Codex Security plugin that can run deep scans, review recent code changes, generate security reports, trace attack paths, validate findings, and create codebase-specific patches for human review. It can also triage findings from existing scanners, advisories, bug bounty reports, and ticketing systems. OpenAI says the plugin can export results to vulnerability management systems and integrate with workflows using SARIF files, CodeQL queries, the Codex CLI, and the Codex app. Back in May, OpenAI announced the preview of GPT-5.5-Cyber, a new model built on top of the recently released GPT-5.5, designed for specialized cybersecurity work. Today, OpenAI launched the full version of GPT-5.5-Cyber through a limited release for verified defenders. On CyberGym, GPT-5.5-Cyber scored 85.6%, compared with 81.8% for GPT-5.5 and 83.8% for Claude Mythos 5. It also scored 39.5% on ExploitGym, compared with 25.95% for GPT-5.5, and 69.8% on SEC-bench Pro, compared with 63.1%. OpenAI also announced the new Daybreak Cyber Partner Program, which will allow security vendors and service providers to use GPT-5.5 with Trusted Access for Cyber in their products and services. Accenture, Akamai, Cisco, Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, IBM, Palo Alto Networks, Proofpoint, SentinelOne, Wiz, Zscaler, and others were listed as initial partners for this program. OpenAI is also launching Patch the Planet with Trail of Bits, HackerOne, Calif, researchers, and maintainers. More than 30 open-source projects have committed to participate, including cURL, Go, Python, Sigstore, and pyca/cryptography.
    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs by Sayan Sen Earlier today AMD released a major graphics driver update as it brings support for FSR 4.1 to Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. The new update, version 26.6.2, also brings support for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and more. And while the driver technically supports Windows 10 version 21H2 and newer, the tech giant has confirmed that there is a major issue with the new driver on non-Windows 11 PCs as it fails to launch properly on such systems. The error message says, "The version of AMD Software that you have launched is not compatible with your currently installed AMD graphics driver." Therefore on the surface it looks like a compatibility problem. AMD has also confirmed that the device manager will display the yellow bang or yellow exclamation sign alongside your GPU under the Display adapters dropdown. Here is what the Radeon team's official advisory recommends to affected users: "Users Running Windows 10 and AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 May Encounter Yellow Bang in Device Manager Affecting AMD Radeon RX Series Graphics ... Our Engineers are currently investigating this issue and will provide a fix once it is available. Affected users may revert to AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.1 as a temporary workaround." As such you should revert back to the previous 26.6.1 driver which was released earlier this month. In case you were looking to play Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations you will probably have to wait a while if you want the driver to support those games officially. You can find the support article here on Microsoft's website.
