GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Friday, Jul 17, 2009

At the beginning of the year, I posted a list of games that I planned to finish this year. I also stated that I was going to try and beat more games, instead of replaying the same ones over and over. I am happy to say that I have beat 22 games this year, which is probably more than the last 2 years combined. Last year, I think I only finished 12 games, and the year before, hardly beat any, because I was playing Guitar Hero most of the time. The only games remaining from the original list are MS Saga, an MGS game, and an action RPG.

Since the trend for July 17 seems to be posting games completed lists, I will do the same. Actually, I will just post links to the lists, too lazy to type everything out. I have beat 93 games, and completed 25, for a grand total of 118. Only 35 of those games are RPGs though.

Only 35? That's weak! Kidding, 118 is really impressive.

Well done, sir! But what is the difference between beaten and completed?

Jude - It would be more if I could count the 8 times I beat FFVIII, 5 times beating Xenosaga 1, etc. I can't remember how many times I have played through Castlevania: SOTN.

Randy - According to the backloggery.com, beaten is just the main quest/final boss. Completed would be getting every major item, finishing every side quest, obtaining all endings, playing through all modes, etc.

That's irritating. I know I just left a comment, yet it's not here. >_>

Anyway, linking to your backlog is cheating. I have a backlog as well, but I typed all my games out.

You need to play more RPGs. O_O

How do you 'complete' a rpg though? Isn't there always 'something' that you will miss out on, considering you don't play one by strictly following a guide?

Jude - Grandia 2 & 3 can be completed without a guide, there is very little to do outside of the main quest. I try not to use walkthroughs anymore, so I don't really complete RPGs like I used to. Time is also a factor. I do look at secrets FAQs after I finish an RPG, to see if there is anything I missed.

That's some good completage! Not sure that's actually a word though. Hmph, it is now. Keep going, make this year a record year for completions, that's what I'm doing. Must be something in the 2009 air. I'm aiming for maximum RPG playing, and so far, of the 28 games I've finished, 11 have been RPGs. Currently I'm playing through Black Sigil on DS, just done about 18hrs of it and the game really is growing on me. The fights are a bit poop, but the story is pretty good!

Jason, thank you for being a bit different instead of just doing a list. I thought I was going to have to say "Nice list" on everybody's damn blog.

Shame on you for playing too much Guitar Hero instead of beating games. I still don't get that whole fad.
