The TNL Pile of Shame Warpact *updated*

**StriderKyo** · 13 Nov 2002, 02:22 AM

Okay, this is my pile as it stands right now:

1. Suikoden II (must get all 108 stars!)
2. Dynasty Tactics (gotta get all 12 endings - yeesh)
3. Gran Turismo 3 (going for 100%, about halfway there)
4. Silent Hill 2 (all endings)
5. Dragon Warrior VII (still about 60 hours to go)
6. Virtua Fighter 4 (reach Emperor Dragon in kumite)

It may take forever, but I will kill that list!

Since beating Xenogears (my last post in this thread) I've also taken down Ridge Racer V, Devil May Cry, Onimusha and Rez.

Anyway, I can't tell you how glad I am that this thread is back up and running, since I need a bit of motivation to go through some of those "multiple ending" games again.

useful thread.. it should be sticky'd in this forum, not moved to guiness book of records..

Okay, I'll bite. My list is absolutely freakin' huge. It's plain sad, really. There are some classic titles that I've either never bothered to play much or never got around to finishing. Here we go:

EDIT: Click here to view the current status of my pile. I figured it's pointless to keep both this post and my tracker page updated.

Jee-zus! I truly have more games than I have time to play. Currently, I'm re-playing FF5 on PS1, since I've never completed it 100% (all the side-quests, mastered all jobs, etc.). I'm also playing all the Mega Man games I have... in order. Just finished part 6 tonight.

Because it's always important to look on the bright side... the best thing about being a game hoarder... I haven't been bored in years. I mean that.

Man, just stop buying games now. Seriously. The above (with some games I didn't care for/play edited out) is basically a "best games ever" list. Much happiness is on your way. Of course, if you ever decide you won't ever play it all, I'd be happy to take a good chunk of the 16-bit stuff off your hands...

Alright, looks like there's interest. Give me a little bit, I'm going to clean up the thread and update the front page.

Not sure Cigs, I was thinking about that before. Might save some irritation from the regular forum goers who aren't interested in this thread, but on the other hand, less people browse the records hall, and I suspect more people have piles of shame than a driving competitive urge (which isn't exactly what this is about). I could be wrong though

If anyone complains about it stridently enough, I don't have any objections to moving it though.

And Vic, it may be some work, but do you think you could copy and paste all of our lists into your first topic? I had to search through a few pages to rememeber what I had listed >_<

I was just thinking about that, since the list is getting rather large. I'm not entirely sure what the best way to handle this would be. If I put everyones lists in the original post, it would be unbelievably huge. Starting a second thread to track peoples stacks would work, but clogging up the forum with two threads to the same topic seems rude, and it would ONLY work with some administrational help (only one post per person to the thread, to track each stack individually).

Really, it almost needs a webpage, so you could login, view your stack, and mark off completed titles. Hmm.

Any suggestions? I'd like to make this easy to participate in. The idea is to give incentive for people to play their games, not to bog them down in the recordkeeping

Incidently, I am willing to do the gruntwork, I'll maintain peoples lists (well, all but the 50+ people, they can do their own lists as pennance :P), but where to put it, and what form to store it in is the question.

scanning through my list of games at videogametracker, i've come up with 110 games i've played, but yet to finish or games i haven't even touched yet. i can list those games if you like.

Currently playing: Super Metroid

**Victrix** · 13 Nov 2002, 09:27 AM

!

This is the part where I jump on you and exclaim loudly "THAT'S IT MAN"

Everyone with a list hustle off to videogametracker.com :P

**Shinobi128** · 13 Nov 2002, 09:55 AM

sadly, the pile will likely grow a bit.

Metroid Prime
Metroid Fusion
Splinter Cell
Mech Assault
Resident Evil 0
Unreal Championship
Shinobi
Steel Battalion

to name a few games that are coming out within the month.

My list seems to have gotten longer

I gave up on Grandia 2. It's now back at the store. I just couldn't deal with it.

I'm going to grit my teeth and finish up Tales of Destiny 2. I reached the "Final Dungeon (TM)" So I just have to plow through that and I'll be done. And I can finally clear that off the plate.

I think once I get that over with, I'm going to go through and actually finish Tactics. I have to beat into my skull that I really *don't* need to go level up my Jobs any more

Otherwise I'll NEVER finish.

As mentioned, I have a couple of games to add to the list:

GBA:
Castlevania: HoD (in my own defense, I actually haven't had this very long)

GC:
Mario Sunshine

Hmm, question for the masses: Do I need to "beat" Super Monkey Ball 1/2? I question if they really belong in the pile of shame or not.
