The TNL Pile of Shame Warpact *updated*

It's hard to find to play through them with a demanding full time job and other obligations.

Some notables:
Breath of Fire III (PS)
- I'm making an earnest attempt at finishing this one currently. It's truly one of the most aggravating and annoyingly designed RPGs I've ever played. This is a perfect example of how not to do a typical Japanese style RPG.

Far East of Eden II (PCE)
- After finishing the first one, I began playing it but stopped after realizing how long it would take.

Final Fantasy VII-IX (PS)
- When the demo for FF7 came out with Tobal #1, I was excited to play it but when it came out, I was quickly bored of it. I've tried both VII & IX but neither have really grabbed my attention. Pretty pictures just don't outweigh tired, unexciting game systems.

Grandia II (DC)
- I was maybe 2 hours into it but it clearly lacked the spirit of the original which made it so endearing. I lost interest and shelved it.

Metal Gear Solid Integral (PS)
- Permanantly stuck at 99% it seems. I never did the stupid data trading with the PocketStation nor can I stomach playing through the game in English (this is a good dub?!) so Grey Fox's missions are left incomplete.

Ogre Battle (SS)
- I played halfway through it while maintaining a perfect Chaos Frame but when I needed to drop it to get Deneb, I just stopped playing.

Tactics Ogre (SS)
- Previously, I planned on playing it right after finishing Episode V. Who knows when that'll happen now?

Yukiwari no Hana (rough trans. = The Flower Split By Snow) (PS)
- I was going through all of the Yarudora games until I hit this one and just stopped. Some of the scientific terms are unfamiliar to me so it required a bit of dictionary lookup which became tiring and getting every ending was a bit of a chore in the previous title, Sampaguita.

more to come...?

Bah, stop pretending that you play your games... we all know that you're just a know it all collector. ;)

Bah, I don't pretend that I play all of them, only a very select few. :P

I have a great deal of games that I've yet to finish. Either I dont have the skill(Contra Hard Corps.), dont want the fun to end(Lunar:SSS), or just have no desire what-so-ever(Brigadine). I'd say a oo 90-95% of my games are shameful.

P.S. I have actually finished Lunar, but when I got to the end I just messed around and never went for the finish. I just had such a great time playing it, that I wanted it to go for a lot longer. Oh well.

Sorry Max, I didn't realize you were actually going to attempt to shrink your, er, stack...

And one more time for the newer members of the pact, give me the TOTAL number of titles. Lazy as I am, I don't feel like counting up each persons pile myself (I dunno, you might count your own stack strangely or something). If its gonna be accurate when you start listing completed titles, I need the total from you.

Pretty sure everyone has been added at this point.

Sorry, Im a tool at times. I'd count when I get home, but it wouldnt include the games I have packed up and ready for the move. So, for now, I'll say about 50 titles I have out that I have partial play throughs on.
Rough estimate.... 10 Dreamcast, 20 PSX, 2 TG Duo, 2 GBA, 6 Genesis, 4 Saturn, 3 Sega Master system, and 3 Game Cube.


Z-roe

Added.

btw, to those of you bemoaning your fate of playing through games that you hate, sell em ;) I don't know why you'd bother to keep a game in your collection if you aren't going to play it. How many of you own Dracula X and haven't finished it? You gotta ask yourself "Am I a collector or a player?"

You wouldn't want to be teased for being a collector, now would you :P I went through my collection before I started this and sold off six games. If I'm not gonna play it EVER, its just taking up space and scaring the guests...

PSX - Dragon Warrior VII, Legend of Dragoon
DC - Skies of Arcadia, Jet Grind Radio, Record of Lodoss War

I'm jealous. Those are all awseome; I wish I was going through them again for the first time (esp. Dragoon, JGR and Lodoss).

Just don't expect to be done any time soon...Skies = 50-56 hours, Dragoon = 45 hours, Lodoss = 55 hours (if you do everything), DW7 = 65-150 hours, and Morrowind, yeesh...

And I didn't include games I consider ongoing projects in my list (like VF4, can you actually "complete" that?), although it's likely that if I ever finally do get a star ranking on every level in Strider 2 I'm going to put it down for a good, long while....

Finished Maximo, and realized I had already finished Tony Hawk (hey, I hadn't played it in awhile, apparently that was why :P). Removed it from my pile of shame, but didn't add it to the hall of fame (nothing famous about having a bad memory.

*** MAXIMO SPOILERS ***



That last, last fight was a bit of an unpleasant surprise. Ah, I'm done! No wait, I'm not :P Thankfully, it wasn't that hard. Ending was gimpy. Game was really great, had a lot of fun with it. Only reason it wound up on my pile of shame was trying to get 100% on every level, which took me up to the third world, but I decided I wasn't gonna finish it if I continued at that rate ;)




****

Every game that I dont want to finish, I still will. I will even keep it around. I guess you could say Im a pseudo collector. If I had say... a wrestling game though, I would get rid of it. I can find something I like out of every game I own(I like Brigadine's artwork... thats about it though.).

Z-roe

I dunno if I could keep a game around just for the artwork. Well, maybe ICO :)
