I'm pretty close to beating Animal Crossing: New Leaf (fully paid off house) and Pokemon Y, though.

Backloggery says I'm -12 for the year... better than the two previous years where I was -13 and -18... In fact the only year I broke even on games I bought vs. beat was 2010, when I made a huge effort to do so. Might be time to do that again and clear some things out.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Fuuuuuuu

How do you keep your list? Minesweeper?

I didn't count ios games in my list I see now.

[CajoleJuice]

When you say you beat Super Hexagon, do you mean all 6 difficulties? Because fuck.

[archnemesis]

I count most games as beaten when I reach the end credits. For games where it's all about a getting a high score I count them as beaten when I've had enough of them.

I don't have anyone to compete against in Super Hexagon so my high score is only 96.10 seconds on Hard and 31.50 seconds on Harder.

[CajoleJuice]

75.27 seconds on Hard and 67.58 seconds on Harder for me

[archnemesis]

Awesome! Time for me to start playing it again.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Hexagon would be awesome with a pad.

[ToxicAdam]

This is it:


3DS:

Luigis Mansion 2
Etrian Odyssey 4
Fire Emblem Awakening

IOS:

Xcom
Skulls of the Shogun
King Cashing 2
(plus a handful of others)

[demi]

All my games are listed by timestamp on each console, plus GameFly has a rental history.

Best feature on all the new hardware...

[CatsCatsCats]

Arkham Asylum
Saints Row IV
Zelda 3DS
Lego Marvel


Who has the time these days? Oh you guys do. :envy

Edit: I did grab a mostly complete MAME set and played through somethings, hell if I remember what though.

[tiesto]

I think that kind of counts, if you put it like that Ive also put in at least 20 hours into BF3 and Hearthstone.

Demi: holy moly!

Panzer Dragoon Zwei

Emulator? Or you got a working Saturn still?

Working Saturn

[Mupepe]

Bioshock Infinite
Dead Rising 3
GTA V

I think that's it.  I only bought 4 games this year (rented Bioshock).  So I finished 50% of my games.  Not bad.  I might finish 75% tonight.

[Positive Touch]

I think that kind of counts, if you put it like that Ive also put in at least 20 hours into BF3 and Hearthstone.

Demi: holy moly!

Panzer Dragoon Zwei

Emulator? Or you got a working Saturn still?

Working Saturn

this christmas my wife got me a a/v cord for my saturn since i had lost mine years ago. my first thought was FUCK YES NOW I CAN PLAY MY OLD SATURN GAMES AGAIN. my second thought was WHY DID I WANT TO PLAY MY OLD SATURN GAMES AGAIN.

most of the good stuff i owned i rebought in the years since like treasure games and castlevania. other stuff like panzer dragoon looks heinous. guess i'll replay magic knight rayearth or whatever.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Have a working Saturn in the closet too at my folks home. No cable and controllers though, just the gun.

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

I seriously don't know where you guys find the time for this....  I'm jealous. For the love of fucking god, someone let me have some time off 

Anyway, if we're including iOS stuff -

Year Walk
Little Inferno

[demi]

I work 9-5, get weekends off, and do nothing but jerk off and play videogames.

I have no time for frivolous things like "relationships"

[Trent Dole]

uuuh, fuck if I know. I hit the current level cap in PSO2 on three classes? That sort of counts I guess.

[StealthFan]

I checked my Gamefly history too

[Joe Molotov]

Ummm...

Bioshock Infinite
Tomb Raider
Fire Emblem: Awakening
Legend of Zelda: Link Between Worlds
Saints Row IV
Swapper
Remember Me
Defiance (Beat the solo campaign and did all the side-missions)

And that's about it. Pretty weaksauce.

[demi]

That is pretty weaksauce. When we retire together we can dedicate the rest of our lives to playing videogames for completion lists.

[Beezy]

Halo 4
The Walking Dead: Eps. 1-5
Metal Gear Rising
Mark of the Ninja
Sleeping Dogs
SMT4
Zelda: ALBW

Damn. I started Halo 4 and TWD in 2012, so I really didn't finish much at all this year.

[Positive Touch]

i replayed a lot of old games this year for nostalgic feels. started some of new games the last few months but didnt finish most of em yet. i know i did make it thru

halo 4
tomb raider
metal gear rising (goty)
chaos rings omega
dmc
DEADLY FUCKING PREMONITION
ys 1&2
the second psp god of war

and prolly some other shit im forgetting

[Cerveza mas fina]

So Demi and Arch, do you like all the games you finish?

[demi]

Hell no, some are turd nuggets (Last Of Us)

My list proves that I have kicked the habit of playing turd games for achievements. All my games there are quality, AAA experiences.

It could be filled with cruddy movie games. Could.

[archnemesis]

It depends. If I hate the game I will drop it in an instant. If it's just a bit boring I might power through it to see the end. The last game I beat, Bravely Default, was quite repetitive towards the end so then I just turned down the difficulty so I could beat it faster.

[Purple Filth]

Uncharted GA
Sleeping Dogs
Spec Ops: The Line
Soul Sacrifice
Batman Arkham Asylum


Still in the pile for next this year

Ninja Gaiden 2 (360)
Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus
Ninja Gaiden Black
Dark Souls
Batman Arkham City
Muramasa
Guacamelee
Halo 3
Gravity Rush
Tearaway
Dragon's Crown

[Mupepe]

Bioshock Infinite
Dead Rising 3
GTA V

I think that's it.  I only bought 4 games this year (rented Bioshock).  So I finished 50% of my games.  Not bad.  I might finish 75% tonight.

Bam. Finished Ryse tonight too

[pilonv1]

Looking through my list of stuff

Tomb Raider
Bioshock Infinite
Batman Arkham City
Gunpoint
Brothers: A Tale of Two Cities

What does it mean to "beat" a game?

We don't say we "beat" a movie or "beat" a book. This kind of talk just encourages treating gaming like a disposable commodity instead of respecting it as a transcendent form of art.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I think just Batmans, Saints Row IV and Clap Trap's Revolution. And I haven't finished what I wanted to with the first two. Meanwhile I feel like I've started as many games as demi finished. 

On the plus side, that's way more games than I got to last year where I just beat Arkham City, the other Borderlands DLCs and then just played Civ or multiplayers rather than really starting anything else.

[close]

[benjipwns]

Even to say you experienced the game implies a finality to the experience, it denies the lasting psychic effects of art. You cannot speak of the giraffe in The Last of Us, or the train car of Uncharted 2, or the destructible pillars of Killzone 2, or when you lost Jason at the mall in Heavy Rain, or the first hit of Nectar in Haze as if they were singular events that came and went for these forever shape how you approach life itself. They stay with you and you continue to experience them through how they frame your other experiences. You can't get Beyond what they've done To your Souls.

They illustrate life itself. To "beat" or "finish" them is to cast away life into a Tokyo Jungle and deny your own personal Journey.

[benjipwns]

Only on PlayStation™.

[MrAngryFace]

Unlike 2012, 2013 was a year of being pensive about the games I have to play. I finished Diablo III (a bunch of times) and Bioshock Infinite...and I guess Injustice Gods Among Us counts. Too much dithering- need to change that this year.

[Yulwei]

Amazingly fun beat 'em up. It was my GOTY.
