Do you finish your games? - Page 2

*Kid Icarus* · 12-07-2006, 12:20 AM

You do realize that you can't really finish WoW, right?

愛 · 12-07-2006, 12:36 AM

True, but you can get them phat lewtz! GETTIN' THEM PURPLZ! Besides, the expansion comes out soon, and I have to grind to level 70. Then I gotta buy a flying mount for 5k gold. JESUS H. CHRIST.

I also went shadow specced with my Priest the day of the patch. I went outside Durotar and dueled this Mage. I feared him, dotted him up, and casted Mind Blast. I crit him for 2k, and a second or two later, I won the duel. ONE-SHOT. Whenever I get a crit with a spell, I have to say, "BOOM! HEADSHOT!" I dunno, it's just something I do.

*Kid Icarus* · 12-07-2006, 12:46 AM

I never did learn to tell when you crit... does it do anything special?

愛 · 12-07-2006, 10:31 AM

When you crit, it does a lot more damage, like in any RPG. Usually it's double the damage, but there's talent points to increase the damage done when you crit. It's a great feeling.

*Kid Icarus* · 12-07-2006, 04:02 PM

Do the numbers get bigger or something? That happens every now and then, specially with my warriors... nothin like slappin a ho down half their life bar.

愛 · 12-07-2006, 04:26 PM

Yeah. You can tell when you crit a mob. The number flies up on your screen really fast, and the number is bigger in size.

Well, I thought the game looked like it was finally the Zelda sequel I was looking for since Ocarina of Time. Also with Wind Waker, I do hope to finish it someday. When I do play it I usually play it for a decent amount of time it's just that I never get in the mood to play it for some reason.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 01-14-2007, 03:46 PM

It seems to me that I just have so many old ps1 games to play and a few other games as well. It just that too many games comes out and I never get a chance to finish those games.

Take some of the great rpgs on the playstation.. I start them and then just leave them and not finish them.

I have zelda tp to finish still at the 6th dugeon.. Halo 2, etc.. It seem that this is a habit not only I do but possibly others as well.

*Mecha Cow* · 01-14-2007, 03:58 PM

My God, you monster!

I actually have a bad habit of doing this as well, but I tend to blame it on the game not being good enough.

OA · 01-14-2007, 04:10 PM

Yea, its hard to sit down and find the time to run through some games through their entirity. There are soooo many good games out and its soo easy to get behind (esp. if you get a new system like I did this christmas getting a 360). I was just able to finsih Shadow of Collosus, then RE4 on the cube, and castlevania on DS before I got my 360 so I basically was able to catch up. But now there are a ton of titles I want to play I just have to pace myself. I've been playing Halo 2, which is great, but I kinda want to move on already...

*Kid Icarus* · 01-14-2007, 04:28 PM

Between WoW, Elebits, and Zelda... I've ran out of time to start new games.

But I do usually finish my games. Out of all of the cube games I own, only three or four are left unfinished... DS has two, and so far Wii has two (after selling off Rayman and Marvel for Elebits...)

*Mr. Snackpants* · 01-14-2007, 04:42 PM

I try to finish all the games I get, but sometimes it's impossible.

This year for Christmas I got COD3 and R6V for the 360 and Elebits and Rayman for the Wii. I was only 10 hours into Zelda:TP and was still enjoying GoW multiplayer(when it wasn't so damn laggy)...not to mention my hour of Halo 2 on XBL every few days. I had too many games w/ too little time. Elebits and Rayman sucked. I guess Rayman was alright, the rabbids were kinda funny. After I finished Rayman I knew I would never, ever come back and replay it, so I sold it. IMO, Elebits was trash. I sold it a day after I bought it. A total waste.

I'm only 2-3 missions into COD3 and R6V. I enjoy multiplayer more than campaigns, so I'm highly doubting I will ever finish these 2 games...with Lost Planet, Crackdown, and Guitar Hero 2 coming out through March. Then you got Wario Ware and Wii Play for the Wii.

Point being, I probably won't finish any of the games I have gotten recently or the games I will be getting in the near future. I hate it but I don't have much time. But I guess that means there are a lot of good games out, so that's good.

I also just sold Zelda:TP today...I'm not motivated to finish it. I kept telling myself that I liked it, but I was lying to myself.

I made a thread about this not too long ago.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 01-14-2007, 05:01 PM

Which is why I've decided to stop buying games I have no intention of finishing, unless I'm getting them for kicks. I'd rather buy Zelda and finish it, then buy Zelda and something else and only enjoy them half-assed because I didn't have time for both. I'm being more cautious about my purchases from now on.

Tomorrow morning, Wario Ware. I need my yearly puff of whatever Intelligent Systems is smoking this time.

*Deathknight* · 01-14-2007, 10:14 PM

I do that way too much. Right now I continued playing FF6 and left TP in the dust for awhile.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 01-14-2007, 10:31 PM

I'm glad you guys understand.. Well I did start contuining my game in zelda.. I got the new weapon in the 6th dugeon and I had to stop because my parents invited me to go with them for dinner considering they were going by themselves. So after I finish watching 24 I will um contuine or maybe in a while after.

Tuesday is going to KILL my bank account. Wario Ware, Pheonix Wright 2, and The Burning Crusade are ALL hitting on the SAME day.

I didn't preorder TBC, so that will have to wait I suppose... and with moving at the end of the month... PW2 is looking better then WWSM.

I sometimes finish my games, but then again, I'm not a hard-core gamer, nor do I find myself with a lot of free time on my hands. Here's a list of what I've done and completed:

Finished
- Spyro: Year of the Dragon
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus
- Dog's Life
- About 4 Pokemon games for the GameBoy

Yep. All the kiddy-friendly games

However, I have another 6 games in my DVD case that is just screaming for just an hour or two more in front of the TV just to finish the story. Games like "Ratchet and Clank 3" are just a world or two away from finishing. Or there is my copy of "Kingdom Hearts", which only just saw the end for Deep Jungle last night. Yep, I suck

Draconic · 01-17-2007, 10:31 AM

I think that I'm not a typical gamer. I take my time and play them when I feel like it. Sometimes, I'll actually forget about a game that I haven't beaten yet.

Here is a list of games that I've played the greater portions of, but not actyally beaten yet:

Mario 1, Mario 2, Zelda 1, FFII, FFIII, FFVII, FFIX, FFX-2, Baten Kaitos, Bully, Pokemon Fire Red, Golden Sun, Pokemon Sapphire, LOZ Oracle of ages & seasons, Link's awakening

Earthbound almost met the same fate. Usually, I don't buy a game unless it's a sequel to a game that I liked, or a game that I've heard lots about... but I never buy on opening day. I just beat Kingdom Hearts 2, if that's any indication.
