The TNL Pile of Shame Warpact *updated*

What is the pile of shame, games you have never played, or never defeated, or just played and never finished...DEFINE, CLICK IS CONFUSING! (And clueles...)

er, check the first post in the thread :P

I'd define it as any game you purchased, kept for a long time, but never really gave an honest shot. 'completed' doesn't apply to many games, and you can 'beat' a game without completing it in many cases. It's a personal decision ultimately.

and all that assumes you really give a damn about completing some of your library

some people just like to collect games I suppose

Cha-ching! Two more notches in the belt!

Thanks to my paid vacation this week, I was able to finish Dragon Warrior IV after playing it all day yesterday and today. Since I made short work of the final boss, I figured there isn't much motivation to continue playing.

Right after I finished DW4, I popped in Ninja Gaiden II to see how far I could get in 45 minutes (girlfriend wanted the TV at 11:30 for SNL). I beat it, to my own surprise. With time to speare. It was so freakin' easy compared to the first one, which took me 5 years... yes, 5 years of playing it over and over again to become skilled enough to finally beat it. Also, the story sucked (NG1s was actually pretty cool), as did the music/sound effects (again, much surpassed by NG1). I don't think I'll play this one again for a loooooooong time.

One more week, post your progress!

Nothing this week for me. I joined the warpact with the hope that it would jumpstart my playing a bit, but so far it hasn't helped.

Dragon Warrior VII - 109 hours, at the final dungeon, fully (I hope) levelled up. This puppy should be toast in a day or two; as soon as I've got the time.

I can't believe you actually made it through it. Opinions? Was it worth it?

Yeeeeyuh! Woo-hoo! Dragon Warrior VII is DONE, muthasuckaz!

*spikes DW7 case in gaming endzone*

Yeah!! I am THE MAN! Woo-

Oops. I smashed it. Oh well.

Yeeeyuh!

Now I'm back on Suikoden II - those other endings will be mine, oh yes. And good God, going from DW7 to this is like night and day. DW7 was fun, but Suiko2 just demolishes it. Vic - if you want final impressions, I'm resurrecting the DW7 thread.
