My to complete list

[agnes]

After recently losing ALL of my saves from the past several years, I have taken the oppurtunity to go through my xbox live game list and pick out all those that I never eventually finished, some are a mere mission or 2 away from completion, some were a 15 min play and drop due to a new game coming out...

So, after losing all my saves, and the gaming scene drying up for the next few months, I am going to cram in as many game completions as possible, from scratch (no option there!).

See you in 2020 then Agnes! lol

 

[agnes]

See you in 2020 then Agnes! lol

Hahahahaha, probably yea

It's annoying me loads! Don't get me wrong, the completed list is fairly decent in size as well! But looking back on my games played list, it hurts to see such a huge and great range of games half jobbed...

 

[HecFam]

1. Sell Them
2. Buy Beer
3. ????
4.Profit.

I know exactly what you mean though, something always comes up in RL that interupts the old gaming time or another game comes out....and it just becomes a viscious circle in the end.

Some beasts of games in that list to complete though, Forza 4 alone is gonna take you a while thats for sure. Especially if you wanna trully complete it (ie all 10 seasons & complete all the races in the event list in Career play mode).

I wish you the best of luck though buddy

This is actually to save me money haha. Normally my social life, ei going out all the time cuts into my gaming. So, this should keep me busy and anti social for a while

Argh! Biggest annoyance with the save loss was Forza 3 had 3 more races, one final R1 race and 2 minor ones, and I would have had 100% completion... I was fuming at that. Probably won't bother to complete it. That took me a long time... well over a year!

Same goes for Darksiders, Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising, Dragon age origins and many more!

I feel your pain, would be so gutted if that had happened to me!

 

[BenjiSayers]

Things like F12010/2012 I wouldn't bother with as it's just doing the same races over and over again so you aren't really missing much. Same would apply to Dirt 1/2/3 and PGR4

Bayonetta is a great game and you should make sure to knock that one off. I'm currently on my hard playthrough and going to go on to Climax mode after as I'm enjoying it that much.

CoD's if you like FPS's are good fun for single player and if you just stick it on the 2nd hardest difficulty aren't that much of a challenge and still good fun plus they are pretty short. The Darkness is another good FPS that is worth playing through as despite the clunky controls has a decent story and progresses nicely. MoH is also pretty short and good fun if you enjoy CoD.

I'd also play Assassin's Creed as if you stick purely to the story missions they aren't that much of a chore and you should fly through them pretty quickly.

Wowsers!

Mirrors edge is pretty short if you're just running through the story once - good place to begin with?

If youre an achievement whore that list is going to take some doing!

 

[HecFam]

I would say Metal gear solid HD, Great Games. Most of them are like 20hrs each (because of ridiculously long cutscenes.) But game time is still a good 10hrs+.

keep you entertained for a good while.

 

[mame]

I'd say come up with a short-list of games to sell. Also, you have quite a few driving games there. I usually play driving games along side of playing through other games IE I just play a few races in between. Also, you have some very long games there such as borderlands and Fallout 3.

 

[dannyjo22]

You either need to stop buying every new game that comes out or stop downloading them

My list is empty, I put a game in, play til finished then start the next. I then sell while it's still worth something.

Always admired that about you Danny and it's something I'd love to be able to do. I do tend to stick with a game until completion, but don't stop buying other ones as well. The problem arises when the games I'm playing through are exceptionally long-winded completions, like Forza Motorsport 4. Really got to try and cut down on how many I buy in 2012, hopefully no more for a while!

 

[jamesy505]

That is a lot of games. I have loads i've started and not got anywhere near finishing and loads I havent started at all...

What happened to your saves? Did your HDD in your Xbox die?

No, tried to copy over all my saves to a third party HDD, basically, cheaping out to increase my HDD size... Buggered up, all data lost

And I can't help buying games! It is honestly an addiction, I will venture into town, pop into game, browse the second hand section, pick up a old game or two that slipped under my radar, along side that, buy 90% of the new big titles that come out in advance at a VERY tasty price haha.

I am aware that the RPG/JRPG/Racing games will take a while, so really probably going to start with the short ones first.

Wow haven't seen you in these parts for quite some time. I do hope the visits are more often

I saw you loaded up Gears the other night, I didn't even realise you had the DLC

The last 2 and a bit years I've been much more selective and so really have only played 5 or 6 games in the last year. I seemed to have a virus where if I started a game I had to finish it even if it was dross. I was wasting too much of my life so only get what I really want now.

Gears will tide me over until GRAW

 

[kdd]

Have you played Red Dead Redemption? that is a must have, and no battlefield 3? come on! you can never have too many games.

Hah, I noticed you pop online too. Yeah, I bought the season pass and have put quite a lot of time into it, the first 3 months til Christmas especially but I don't think I'll be getting Seriously 3.0 any time soon .

Next time you're on and playing something throw me an invite, I'll likely have it unless it's Call of Duty because I won't have the map packs. Anything else and I'm probably golden .

It's nice to see some of the old faces still around, I do miss the good people here but had to get away from some of the nonsense that was going around here at the time. Time got away from me, left for 3.5 years! Ended up doing podcasts and gaming social stuff on Twitter etc. Don't suppose you're on there? If so, add me and send me a message (NokkonWud)

 

[Shamikebab]

Good to see you on here again Nokkon

I try to do what Danny does, I'm successful about 90% of the time but occasionally I slip and start another game before finishing one. Currently got AC Revelations and Uncharted 2 waiting to be finished after I took a break to play through Mass Effect 3.

Agnes.....that list is just ridiculous. I wouldn't even know where to start. Probably get through some of the quick ones (like the CODS) to shorten the list down before tackling the huge RPGS!

Welcome back Nokkon, been a while!
