The Pile of Shame Warpact

I'm down for another go. My pile is pretty small, and since there aren't many games on my radar for the next two or three months it would be good to see if I could get completely caught up before holiday season rolls in.

You make a new thread and I'll throw my list up there.

Got too many to list... working my way through Odama now, this game is tough.

I will make a new list if a new thread is made. My list is damn scary.

Is this list basically games you want to finish, and your progress in doing so?

I'd be all for it.

If it's games you own vs. games you've beaten, though, there's no way I can do that. I buy too many cheap games (sup $1 Homeworld 2) that I stash away in case I ever feel like playing 'em. Stupid, yeah, but whatever.

Haven't had any pile of shame discussion lately. Did everyone just give up? I think I did. It's fun to make believe I might make a dent, though.

I haven't. I've been going back through my unfinished stuff lately.

Ar Tonelico - Decent RPG, very charming in its presentation but not worth playing through. About 12 hours into it I finally came to grips with how I had no real desire to see it through to the end, solidified by taking a look at a FAQ and seeing that it has multiple endings. I'd have to see them all if I got that far and I'll be damned if I'm wasting memory card space on three save slots for that game (and repeating some of the gameplay).

Magna Carta - Never finished it but it's been so long that I have to start over. The resting conversations and cool battle system make me wonder what distracted me, but I'm probably going to put this off until I finish my intended stream of RPGs:

Final Fantasy III - I was enjoying this a lot but somehow wandered off. I will resume playtime in the next day or two as I really want to finish it.

Final Fantasy IV - I've never played it for longer then the initial cutscene and yet always wanted to, so it will be my goal after FFIII.

Also finally got back into playing Mushihime-sama and Ibara, which I've meant to do for months. I suck at both of them (can barely get through the first stage without getting hit) but they're awesome. I really, really wish they were in progressive scan since the blurriness makes it harder to distinguish bullets than it should be. If only my TVs weren't too big for me to flip into tate (yeah, I know, I'm crying over here).

There's also a bunch of PC games I want to get through (like Prey), but it's looking like I'll probably be upgrading soon so I'm putting those off for now.

p.s. Why do all the RPGs I'm playing have random battles? Fucking hell.

[edit] I also still want to go back and finish off FFXII, by which I mean all the Hunts and stuff I never did.

Let's see, my pile as of now consists of:

Rogue Galaxy
Lost Planet
Super Paper Mario
Marvel UA
CAll of Duty 3
Hotel Dusk
Final Fantasy III DS
Magical Starsign

And the rest of Guitar Hero II for the 360. Some I've started but haven't finished, and some are still unopened. I'm sure there are a few I missed.

Dead Rising (360)
Fallout Collection (PC)
Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (GBA)
Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance (Xbox)
Fable (Xbox)
Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal (PS2)
Resident Evil 4 (GC)
Company of Heroes (PC) Campaign only
Age of Empires 3 (PC)
Warcraft III & FT (PC) Campaigns only
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl (PC) Want to play it through for a 3rd time

Looks like I've built up a bit of a back log. I'm starting out with Fable, which seems like it was a huge waste. The last save I have for it is 9/17/04, 3 days after it was released (although I'll be starting over). I'm hoping to knock a couple games out before Bioshock hits.

Valkyrie Profile 2 - I've started on it already, put in maybe 10 hours.

Disgaea 2 - Played for a few hours, then died in the Item World after I'd forgotten I'd used my last Mr. Gency's Exit and got royally pissed so I turned it off.

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner - Just hasn't gotten my attention, I try to sit down and play it and just go 'meh'. This might stay, but also might by trade fodder.

Metal Saga - I actually liked this game, but I think I got stuck trying to get this one obscure bounty and just stopped playing.

Steambot Chronicles - I'm still not a fan of the controls, but the game itself seemed like it could be going somewhere. I stopped playing after I got frustrated with a part.
