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

    • I was already thinking about trying Fairphone with Murena /e/OS exactly because I don't want any AI on my communication device. For now, I've turned off all AI possible and turned on "Process data only on device" on my Galaxy S24.
    • They should lower the price but make clothing in the shops, like they've had in previous games, actually cost money. (Unless it's required for a mission)
    • FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 by Razvan Serea FotoSketcher Studio is a free creative tool that instantly turns your photos into artwork. With just a few clicks, you can apply styles like pencil sketches, watercolor, oil painting, ink drawings, cartoons, and abstract effects. Powerful yet simple sliders let you adjust every detail to match your vision, from subtle enhancements to bold artistic transformations. You can also improve your images with tools for contrast, sharpness, color, and brightness, plus add frames and text. It supports JPEG, PNG (including transparency), BMP, and WebP formats for both opening and exporting. Available for Windows (64-bit) and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), FotoSketcher also offers batch processing, manual retouching, and custom effects for advanced users. Completely free, including commercial use, with no ads or spyware. FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 changelog: New LUTs effect In the Photo Lab category you will find a new LUTs (Lookup Tables) effect for custom colour grading. It comes with 18 presets built right into the application (Cinematic, Kodachrome, Golden hour, Portrait and more), each with a live preview so you can see the look before applying it. Right-click the preview to compare with your original image. And if you have your own .cube files, you can load those from disk too. New "Stylize" category Added a brand-new Stylize category with four new effects. Three of them (Mosaic, Circles and Triangles) are built on the same space-filling idea, turning your photo into tiled mosaics, clusters of circles, or a low-poly triangle look. The fourth, Cartoon, is a bit different: it gives a clean graphic style with defined lines and solid colours. A little tip - set the colour intensity to 0 and Cartoon draws a pure outline drawing with no fill. Combined with the "Do not erase background" option, you can run it on top of any other effect to add crisp contours in two quick steps. Auto-Enhance and Full Reset Two small but handy additions. Auto-Enhance (just press E) tries to optimise your source photo - exposure, white balance, local contrast - for a 'dehazed', natural-looking starting point. And Full Reset clears everything back to a clean slate in one step (working image, history, LUT, script, brushes and sliders) without having to close and reopen the program. Press Ctrl+Shift+N, or right-click the exit button. Scripts The script engine has been updated to support all the new effects, with a few new commands and improved help. If you would like some inspiration, the recent scripting tutorial on this blog walks through several ready-made example scripts. The usual improvements The interface now uses new colour accents for better readability, the history gallery has had a few tweaks, and you can now open .webp images directly. On top of that, this release includes some performance improvements and a good number of bug fixes.
