I haven't played in a while, so I'm going to have to track WAY back….

Banjo Kazooie – Gave up once I reached the Gobi Desert. The meanies were getting way to crazy for me… Then again, I was like 12 at the time.

Donkey Kong 64 – Uhhhhh… Don't remember. Last I checked I was a rhino, and couldn't knock down all the dang huts or whatever in time. Same deal as the first I'm guessing.

Pokémon Red – I played through Yellow already, and that was enough at the time. Back in my day…

Half-Life (the original) – I got lost. Considering it was originally a mod, and level design that sucessfully implied where to go wasen't good enough yet…

Legend of Zelda: Windwaker – I LOVED this game. Didn't overwhelm me as much as ther other Zelda games, plus gave me a sweet sense of freedom. But I just couldn't get all the damn triforce shards. Why is alway MY job to do stupid tasks? I did like using the GameBoy Advance to control Tingle overhead, though.

Resident Evil 4 – To man damned trolls (or whatever those gargantuan things were) started popping up. I still was getting used to the “THINKFASTAZOMBIE” gameplay. My controller would get really sweaty.

Spore ??? – Is there an ending to this? I don't know. But whenever I try to be the nice guy, I quickly become the other galaxy's bitch. A lot like “Hey McFly you bojo!! Gimme some of your lunch money!” “Gee, I dunno Biff…”

I guess that's about it, really. I don't game much. The Half-Life 2 / Portal series were the only games I had the patience to play all the way through without cheating.

Oh wow, there's quite a bit…

Deadspace - Saw the Woods plow through the first part of the game, and I'm not compelled to finish because of it

Knights of the Old Republic- I swear to god, I'm literally right next to the final boss battle… I just dont feel like finishing it. In my eyes, I played enough to beat it.

GTA4: Lost and Damned- this chapter more or less pissed me off, and while I beat HL2: episode 1 out of pure hate, I will not play another game that pisses me off.

No More Heroes – … I forget where I left off, but I wasn't really compelled to do the side missions and beat it

Super Mario Galaxy- I love the game, I'm usually not in the mood to play. I forget how many stars I have, but I was just about to fly into the center of the galaxy

Fallout 1- Got lost and ended up dying by the hands of super mutants who wanted to change me into one of them. Couldn't bear to play through it again

MGS1- Loved it, just havent gotten far…

MGS2- couldn't pass the first “Mission”

Elebits- Got fairly close to the end, but it didn't entertain me all that much

Okami- Fuck, I can't get past the first town >.< Damnable Wii controls

Bioshock- Not interested anymore. Its just run here, do that, get shot up, do stupid crap because you cant walk 5 feet to the end because the roof caved in… uggh

Mecenaries- I liked blowing things up, but the variation on the map would have been nice… as is, just running around pissing off the chinese isn't too much fun. Got kinda far, I guess.

Call of Duty 2: Big Red One- I really liked this game, just wasn't compelled to get to the end after the 3rd anonymous soldier died and all the other AI guys knew who the hell he was and morned for him.

Lost Planet- … I could see the ending coming a mile away- the planet is Earth. Also could have done without the intro Greeneyes thing… It would have made the story more interesting.

Mass Effect- God, again I'm right at the end, but I just cant beat the last boss. My last save is about 3 planets ago, and I'm not going to play through that crap again just because my team sucks against the final boss. This is why I save my game constantly.

Katamari Damacy, We love Katamari, and Beautiful Katamari- If you count the “complete the max size you possibly can get” or the “unlock the secret levels”, then no, I havent beaten these, but I still played them alot.

Chromehounds- Not interested

Red Faction- Awesome game, but retarded AI stopped me from continuing.

XIII- LOVED THE GAME. Just got too hard.

Zack and Wiki- … Not really interested.

Metroid Prime 3- Still on the first planet.

I forgot to mention everything in my SEGA phase:

Sonic Adventure 2 – That big… lizardy experiment thing. “the ultimate lifeform”… made me WAY to frustrated to keep trying at the end. So annoying.

I remember the GameGear too. I played Sonic and Knuckles on it then the batteries died. Pretty cool that it used actual Sega game cartridges and not little carts like on the Gameboy. 

“Hey guuuyyss, you find the computer room yet?”

EDIT: I have no goddamn idea how to quote properly on these forums.

A lot of games do that and it's sort of offputting. It's like how I have 117 stars in Mario Galaxy and have beaten the game but need 3 more to unlock Luigi. It's like artificial replay value for completionists.

When it comes to gaming for me, if I play a game I'm right there with it to the end. I beat the story through as quickly as possible, and if I'm still interested enough to play it then I will, but Ima try to think of some anyways.

The Legend of Zelda: I beat all the other dungeons there were, except I never found the damned 2nd one…so I couldn't fight Ganon and really beat the game. It pains me to think this is the only Zelda I've never beaten :/ I beat the 2nd side-scrolling one for god's sake haha

KOTOR 2: Well I'm trying to beat it right now, but I'm stuck in this city and am very unhappy about it. I'm an effing Jedi, not a forensics expert dammit >:O

Aggressive Inline: Let's face it. This is a terrible game. It's all the fun of Tony Hawk, but with rollerblades. So Matthew can't get 2 million fights by being fancy on a manual. *Kills it with fire*

Fire Emblem (Japanese version): Well, let's just say that I found a Fire Emblem for the Super Nintendo thats only in Japanese, so…it's hard to figure out the storyline, I have no idea what my items are, and I can't tell how much damage I'll do, my chance of hitting, and I can't even tell what my classes are. I think the main character's on a horse I'm not sure if he is he talks a lot so I guess so And of course all the classes bear no relation the the gameboy ones, so I don't know whats what.

Duckhunt: Ok well who the hell has ever beaten Duckhunt before? There's gotta be a point where that damn dog doesn't laugh at you for not shooting enough ducks :/

DeadSpace: Well I only got to play it at Canti's, I really wanna finish it, but it's a job for another day I suppose.

BioShock: Oh look everybody dies! Oh look its too easy to hack stuff! And I never even died so I never got to take advantage of constantly coming back to life. I got bored with the sheer simplicity of this game. The only thing hard about is is shooting enemies, so a pipe to their faces is far more effective than any gun I ever found.

Fallout 3: Someday :'(

Gears of War: Played a little insane mode with nate, liked it, but we never beat te last level. Got bored and distracted with the shinyness of Metak Gear Solid 2!

Thats all I can think of right now haha

Just wait until you get all 120 stars as Mario, you'll get to play the game all over again but as Luigi, except Luigi slips and slides when he walks so it's hell on wheels.

Simple jump?! No problem!!!!

*jumps*

OH GOD I SLIPPED!

*Luigi slides right off into the fiery path of death*

SHHHIIIIIIIIIIIII———

All to unlock about 5 more minutes of ending. Beat it as Luigi here on some guy's Wii, was very mad that's all I got.

I still loved playing as Mario though :]

Nope. He jumps pretty much the same height, and actually when you race against Mario in some of the worlds its a lot harder too. Luigi is so fail. The only reason I was able to get 120 stars with him was because I played Super Mario Sunshine so much I'd mastered all the jumping tricks :/

If he does jump higher though I sure as hell didn't notice

I have to ask, why not finish Windwaker? Fining the shards was easy. So easy I beat  the WHOLE game (got all heart pieces) then after you beat it you get the golden-version-thingy where you are in your pajams from the begining of the game (and beat that 100% too, got all heart pieces and EVERYTHING)

I loved the freedom of Windwaker, it was just so awesome.

RE4: just fantastic, I don't even know how many times I beat it, but it was insane. (beat it the first time, and Ashley is dressed like…. I don't know how to put it)

@ Batto- I honestly don't have enough patcience or time to fiddle with those purple coins… I tried it once I think, but failed -_-

@ Matt- Buuuuuuuuuuurd is such a great character now! He's actually worthwhile and finding some interesting stuff…

I think the “indescribable” way Ashley is dressed after beating RE4 is better shortened to “70's pop star” and it totally baffles me. Great game though. Was looking forward to RE5, but I'm pretty happy I didn't spend 60 bucks on it. It seems good, just not RE4 good.

Getting those purple coins… oh dear god getting those purple coins. I played that same level for about an hour, failing endlessly. I then went to bed, defeated. Got up about 5 minutes later ready to kick the games' ass. I loaded up on half a pint of Ben & Jerry's for a sugar rush, stocked up on lives, and beat it in half in hour more. I was so relieved; it made going to bed at 8am much easier.

I have the same Animal Crossing problem as Sgt. Cool does. I tried to make a second character and make a new house, but I really didn't see the point. It's not like Fallout 3 where there's actual things to do time and time again. I can only do the same menial tasks for Hambo and Tom so many times before I get bored.
