all the new additions to my wishlist were from the steam demo festival so it's mostly just "oh this game i liked the demo of is available now" a lot of them have "2020" as dates, though, which may as well just be 2021 with the pandemic going on

how often do you even beat games? Not counting games that don't really "end," I think it's the exception for me to get to the intended ending of a game. At the same time, I think I spend a lot more time in a game compared to someone who just beats it normally. I saw someone advise another to put a spoiler on an early game Prey spoiler and the person didn't think it mattered because that reveal happens within 5 minutes of the game but I remember spending like 30 minutes in that initial rooms and area dicking around. Control you get an item that reveals the games true nature to you pretty early, but I also spent almost two hours before I even got to that point. I restarted the game at that point because a misleading achievement "choose to be chosen" with a picture of the gun on it popped up, which made me think I could've chosen to not get the gun somehow. That first segment blazes past if you don't stop to read all the notes and abuse a coffee cart to knock over every single object in the playable area. AFAIK you can't not get the gun, there is no choice, the achievements lied.

a game doesn't count as beaten until you've learned its entire code via osmosis

I used to almost never beat games for a time but that changed when I started adhering to a policy of "buy games only when you really want them and play to completion."

LionArcher posted:IGN just gave the new TH1-2 Remaster a 9 saying they crushed it. I'm so in. I would say "it should be hard to screw up, just remastering a classic" but Master Chief Collection and the original THPS HD kinda prove that its very possible. But man, that sounds good. It just needs to play the same as it used to while looking a tiny bit better and I'll be super happy. poo poo I'm gonna go pop THPS3 in the PS2 and do some kickflips now.

I don't get people who have half a dozen unfinished games in flight at once so I start a game, play it until I finish it, and then move on to the next. So I've beaten virtually every game I've started and I can count the ones I gave up on on one hand.

I've gotten like 2/3 of the way into games and then stopped many times this year. Arc Rise Fantasia and just recently HZD off the top of my head. Ar Tonellico 2 I got 10 hours into then stopped when someone mentioned it last month. Got to the timeskip in Three Houses Madening mode then stopped. But 40 hours in Risk of Rain 2? No prob!

You never buy a game and find out halfway through it isn't really as good as you were hoping, or its getting dull? But then there's also genres where "beating" isn't really a thing, like fighting games or racing games. Only really applies to strong campaign based games, story based. And if anything I personally prefer more game-y games, like Hitman. You may "beat" all the levels of Hitman but you're not done. So unless you absolutely 100% every single challenge in the game, you're leaving it partially finished regardless. Things aren't so cut and dry for lots of games.

exquisite tea posted:I used to almost never beat games for a time but that changed when I started adhering to a policy of "buy games only when you really want them and play to completion." why to completion, why not just until you're done? Some games can be absurdly long and have very little of value to do in that time. There's probably a dozen games in history where every minute of the game was worthwhile and necessary to the experience without padding or pointless content. I say probably cause I can't think of one. full disclosure, i'll also turn a movie or tv show off halfway if its getting tiring and you can already tell exactly how act 2 and 3 will go.

yeah i was always waiting for the equivalent of the "super gameboy" for the SNES for all of the DS lines. Playing pokemon on the snes was such an upgrade. I guess the Switch is just built-in super gameboy console

MGSV is my favourite half-finished-game of all time but I can't bring myself to do the final final missions, not while there's a hundred side ops for me to delay the ending with.

A lot of the games I've played recently don't have an ending, or can't really be "beaten". Paper Mario was my first game in a while that had an ending, and I did finish it! I have a bit over 70 games on my Steam wishlist, a large number of which are the story based ones. I think I've posted previously about how keeping up with a game feels difficult for me now, so I prefer stuff I can drop and pick up again easily.

Speaking of not beating games, I recently bounced off of Ori 2 for what feels like a very petty reason: The game has mostly 8-directional movement, so I use the D-pad because that's more comfortable for that kind of movement. But there's one move in the game with full 360 degree movement, and so I have to move to the analog stick. I could just use the stick for all movement but that feels super awkward for me for normal movement. So I just found no comfortable way to control the game and stopped playing it

I usually have 8 or so games on the go at a time, and enjoy/intend to finish all of them. I'm just easily distracted I guess.

cheetah7071 posted:Was there a second Higurashi anime or something because the one I watched, while it had a lot of issues, did not match your spoiler They're making a new one I know but basically: The first like 1/3 of the show takes place like normal until the big killing event and the purple-haired girl wakes back up at the beginning of the show and talks all about how she's done that same loop thousands of times and nothing's worked. Then in the next episode she immediately manages to make everyone remember the other realities and that's when they all band together and figure out what's going on and prevent the village from dying. During that episode, she talks about specific plotlines from other loops that went differently. She tells one character "hey in another timeline you were one of the killers" and she admits that she hated her aunt and thought about killing her, and that's the end of it. But, in the game, you actually play through those other loops from the perspective of the different characters. Like I said, there's only two loops that happen over the course of the show, the first decoy loop where everyone dies and then the second loops where she recruits everyone and saves the town
