So how have we all been making out ? I'm sure a number of you were set back immensly throughout November thanks to all the big games creeping out of the woodworks.


Currently all 6 games on my list still haven't been finished, although I might finish off mario and luigi this week. FFX2 - I may as well sell it or something I"ll never finish it. All 3 gamecube games... heh I don't play my gamecube anymore except as a novelty joke for friends. I may get paper mario 2 at Xmas though and finish it. That'll be about it though.

So basically has of right now here are the games I want to finish-

Mario and Luigi for GBA
Mario 64 DS
Feel the magic DS
Uh... yeah.

There are atleast 10 other games I didn't complete but they aren't high on the priority list. I did pick up Halo 2 and finish it though.

Games I plan on finishing are in italics.
 
I'm part way through Half-Life 2, Doom 3, and Halo 2 and am lacking inspiration to continue on. After a decade of first person shooters, I think I'm burnt out.
 
RE:0
Metroid Prime
TimeSplitters 2
Zelda: The Wind Waker
Metal Gear Solid
Viewtiful JOE
BLiNX
 
Half-Life 2
Halo 2
Tribes Vengences (gave up)


Most of my time is spent on Pirates! and WOW, which have no end really.
 
DS
Kimishine

GBA
Final Fantasy 1 + 2

Xbox
Fatal Frame 2
Halo 2 again

PS2
Dragon Quest 8
MGS3

GC

PC

Paper Mario 2
Metroid Prime 2
Donkey Konga

Playstation 2
Time Crisis: Crisis Zone
Taiko Drum Master
Katamari Damacy
FFX

Nintendo DS
Mario DS
Feel the Magic DS

GBA
Mario Vs. Donkey Kong
 
-Xbox- Malice,Outrun2.

-PS2- DragonGuard,Maximo.



I've got Fable,Twin Snakes,Hunter Redeemer,DragonGuard,GunGrave 2,and the GTA Pack unopened. I play alot less now(about 2-3 times per week in 2 hour sessions) but I enjoy the games more than ever. Sometimes playing less is more fun,if that even makes sense.
 
I'm trying to finish Paper Mario 2 so I can take it back to BB and get something else. Don't want to waste the freedom pass holding on to one game.
 
I just stopped picking up games that I don't think I'm going to finish. That includes the list: GTA San Andreas, Halo2, MGS3, Fable, HalfLife 2 (only interested in multiplayer). At this point I'm pretty much a pure multiplayer player because it fits better with my schedule of having a lot of fun in short periods of time. Consequently WoW is on my buy list - though my local EBGames didn't have any :(
 
Too many to list here but if it concerns games that came out last 2-3 months, it would be:

Mario 64 DS
Half-Life 2
Pikmin 2

Not bad, after all.
 
PS2:
Silent Hill 3 (i havent touched it in months, I am probably never going back to it.)
Splinter Cell 1 (same as SH3)
Metal Gear Solid 3 (almost finished, will finish it next week after finals)
Disgaea (same as SH3)

Gamecube
Viewtiful Joe (one of these days...)
Metroid Prime 2 (second dark temple I think, on break till finals are over)

GBA:
Final Fantasy I+II (finished the third crystal in FF1, 54% of monsters defeated, hmm...havent touched FFII)
 
The important ones are quite numerous on my list, and then there's a massive deluge of PS1 titles I'd love to get to (Vagrant Story tops that list pretty much) and likely never will. So the biggies are:

Metal Gear Solid 3
Half-Life 2
GTA - San Andreas
Breath of Fire IV (PS1)
Breath of Fire - Dragon Quarter
Katamari Damacy
Resident Evil 0
FF I&2 - Dawn of Souls
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance

Halo 2, KotoR, Majora's Mask, Crimson Skies, Fable, and again, a buttload of PS1 games (some of the Square ones primarily) are ones I've started but lost interest in. Halo 2 just gets so damned boring so quickly, just like the first.
 
GameBoy Advance
Pokemon Emerald JP - gotta catch the rest of the Pokemon
Donkey Kong Country 2 - gotta beat some levels
Fire Emblem - gotta beat those last few chapters

GameCube

If you're wondering how it got so bad, about 2 or 3 years ago I got a nice paying job, and the majority of PC and playstation games I had always wanted to buy dropped down to $5 or $10. So every week I would buy 3 or 4 games, and eventually it built up to what you see above. I've finished almost as many games as I have up there, its just that eventually when I went back to school, I couldn't keep up anymore. Now with the exception of RE 4, Suikoden 4, and Wild Arms Alter Code F, I'm done with buying games for a bit, as my monthly tuition takes up almost 90% of my paycheck every week.
 
PC
Half-Life 2
Beneath a Steel Sky (DLed a while back and only played the first few minutes)

GC
Paper Mario: TTYD
Metroid Prime 2
 
Right now I'm playing:

Metroid Prime 2
Half Life 2
Fire Emblem
GTA: SA
Kotor

I usually have one game going per system. If I actually gave a full list of the unfinished games I have it would be scary. Lordmrw's list amount is just a start compared to my backlog (not trying to brag, just giving comparisons).
 
So here is what I have to finish:

Paper Mario
Metal Gear Solid 3
Metroid Prime 2
Star Ocean
Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls
Viewtiful Joe 2


Arrgghhh so many games, so little time.
 
ironically, the only things i'm unfinished on are replays of older games:
lufia 2 (turned this on a few days ago and to my horror, my retry mode save file was erased! so i want to beat it again on retry to make sure gift mode stays unlocked)
Ogre battle 64 (just felt compelled to replay this... got up to chapter 4, got bored of it and haven't played it since i picked lufia 2 up again)
NOLF 2 (started replaying this after playing through NOLF just for the hell of it, might finish it, might not)

Holy mother of everything that is... well, holy. That's wrong on at least 34 different levels and I urge you to reconsider.
 
Mine's not too bad, but I'm a stickler for not starting new games unless I'm planning on focusing my energies on beating them. Still, some are left alone with me "stuck" on them:

Ico
Viewtiful Joe, (Damn you boss gauntlet! DAMN YOU!!!!!!!)
Star Ocean 3, (80 hours play time 3 dungeons into the 2nd disk isn't too bad...is it?) ;)
