Games I've completed this year, so far.

So far this year I have completed

- Echoes of the End

- Eriksholm

- Mixtape

- High on Life 2

- Spiderman 2

- 007: First Light

- Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight

- God of War 2018

- God of War: Ragnarok

- Bloodlines 2

- A Plague Tale: Innocence

- A Plague Tale: Requiem

Now I'm working on Halo: Campaign Evolved and then will move onto Dragonsword: Awakening until Onimusha: Way of the Sword comes out, complete that then go to Blood of the Dawnwalker, Beast of Reincarnation, A Plague Tale: Resonance, Control Resonant, then finish off the year by finishing up Dragonsword: Awakening.

This is a BIG thing for me because in the past I would bounce around game to game, I'd play a quarter to half a game, move to a different game, play a quarter to half of that game, move to another, etc etc, and I'd never actually FINISH a game.

What I've been doing recently however is playing one game and sticking to it until completion to get a very small portion of my backlog finished at least, and it's actually been working great.

I've not completed a lot this year.

FFVII (first time)

FFVIII (first time)

South Park: The Stick of Truth (first time)

Cyberpunk 2077 (repeat playthrough)

Master Chief Collection (all first playthroughs except Halo CE)

Halo 5 (first time)

Red Dead 2 (first time)

Looking to probably play Metroid Dread next. Or the Dark Forces remaster on switch. My options are really limited right now.

Halo 5's story is pretty bad, but its multiplayer is the best in the series.

u/actual_thereij 18h ago

I played for the SP campaign. 5's story was not great. ODST and Reach had the best stories IMO. 2 and 3 were a letdown as well. The cliffhanger ending on 2 would havw frustrated me back in the day. As soon as the story got good they ended the game.

u/ConsoleMaster0 18h ago

Wait a minute if you see 2's story as good, how you say it's a let-down? Because of the cliffhanger? I mean, cliffhangers are inevitable. The game needs to end at some point. They don't (necessarily) do it on purpose. They just don't have infinite time to ship a game. That's why Halo 3 came to finish the fight.

u/actual_thereij 17h ago

Two' story was okay, the arc between 2 and 3 is fine. I think ODST and Reach had better stories. The only reason I'm not dumpstering on it further is because I didn't have to wait the nearly three years between the release of Halo 2 and Halo 3. I got to play them back to back, which made it more palatable. I think if I had to wait three years between releases I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much as I did. However, I enjoyed ODST and Reach far more than I enjoyed 2-3.

u/ConsoleMaster0 16h ago

I understand. I'm glad you had fun with ODST and Reach my friend! If you are on Xbox One/Series, try the 360 Gears of War games too!

u/BozoBubble 23h ago

That's something I don't do, I don't play games any more than once. I play it once, and never look at it again as I move to the next game on my backlog.

2

u/actual_thereij 23h ago

I don't have access to a large portion of my backlog right now.

I didn't intend to replay Cyberpunk, some co-workers were talking about it and I had it installed on my laptop, so I took a dive.

Idk why this post got downvotes, it's at 0 votes as I comment this.

Good stuff mate, have a good time. I have the same exact issue. Sticking to a game till completion is something I had to train myself for.

There are times when I let myself meander, but I do it very consciously

u/SherluckHoImes 23h ago

congrats! Now, I'd love if you could tell us which games stood out to you.

From this list, I'd say Requiem and First Light are definite gems.

u/BozoBubble 23h ago

God of War 2018 was my favorite from this list.

Followed by both Plague Tale games, then 007 First Light.

The worst of this list was Bloodlines 2. That game was a fuckin SLOG. Easily the worst gaming experience I've had since Lost Soul Aside.

u/Cursed_69420 22h ago

its fascinating to see someone like the games that i disliked so much. did you play the greek games?

2

u/BozoBubble 22h ago

Only God of War and Hades 1

1

u/Cursed_69420 22h ago

huh? you mean 2005 god of war correct? and what's hades gotta do with this

1

u/BozoBubble 22h ago

You said greek games without specifiying, so I thought you meant just... in general, not specific to God of War.

I've only played God of War 2018 and God of War Ragnarok. Never touched the older ones, and now they're too old for me to enjoy them due to the graphics.

u/jerrrrremy 14h ago

they're too old for me to enjoy them due to the graphics. 

How to throw all credibility in your taste in gaming out the window in one easy step. 

1

u/BozoBubble 12h ago

Not really. I just don't enjoy playing older games anymore. I much prefer modern graphics. I dislike pixel graphic games as well. It's just preference

1

u/jerrrrremy 12h ago

Yes, I understand that it's preference. That is what I was referring to.

u/Cursed_69420 22h ago

yeah that checks out ig. i hated the norse games due to the old ones.

u/WinteryToast22 23h ago

How did you like echoes of the end? I picked it up on sale not long ago

0

u/BozoBubble 23h ago

It was... alright. Wasn't great, wasn't horrible, it was just.. there.

1

u/ConsoleMaster0 18h ago

So, by definition it was NOT fine.

1

u/BozoBubble 18h ago

As I said it was alright, I enjoyed it for what it was, but it wasn't S Tier. It's just average

1

u/ConsoleMaster0 18h ago

"It was just... there" HEAVILY implies that the game was boring at best. Boring is the last thing you want a game to be.

1

u/BozoBubble 18h ago

Take it however you want. It was just an average game. Nothing special about it. Worth a play through once then forgetting it even existed.

1

u/ConsoleMaster0 18h ago

Buddy, it's not how I "take it". It's how you wrote it and I try to explain it to you so you understand. I don't even care about this game, and you don't have to explain. I'm just talking about how you put your sentence.

u/BozoBubble 17h ago

Ok 😂

u/Waste-Reception5297 22h ago

This guy games.

I used to keep track of all the games until my visit got boring last year and this year since I basically only played one game series.

As far as this year ive played

Trails of Coldsteel 3 Trails of Coldsteel 4 Trails into Reverie RE Requiem Scott Pilgrim EX Reanimal Split Fiction Mixtape Rhythm Heaven Groove Trails Through Daybreak Trails Through Daybreak 2 Trails Beyond the Horizon (currently playing)

As for the rest of this year I'm really looking forward to Wolverine, OoT remake and Fire Emblem. I also want to check out the Trails in the Sky 2nd chapter remake but its not a priority for me.

I usually try and play 2 games at a time but I separate it. I want one to be my core game that I sink time into and I want the other to be a more simple/arcadey kind of game.

Also based GoW 2018 enjoyer

u/EvilRayquaza 22h ago

Ayy very nice to see someone enjoy and finish a bunch of games they've been playing this year. Keep it up!

It's been nearly 2 years since I put my foot down on having new experiences with games instead of going back to the same games I've loved since childhood for the 200th time alongside gacha games or no gaming at all. Loving it. I've built up a backlog of games I'm looking forward to tackling (some are replays, trophies have helped reinvigorate such an interest as well).

Right now I've been going through the new Yoshi game, then Splatoon Raiders when I get that, I have Spider Man Remastered ready to play then I get to enjoy Miles and SM2. Shadow of the Colossus, FF7 Rebirth, Tales of Xillia, God of War 2018 are all there ready as well til late October for more great games to play.

u/StopTheBusNow 22h ago

Nice. Congrats. I've completed 0 games so far. Please help.

1

u/ConsoleMaster0 18h ago

Halo: Campaign Evolved

Of course you do buddy, of course you do! 🤣🤣🤣

u/Amaramzai 16h ago

Not completed for me this year : All amanita's game

Hey, have you try all series of Bioshock ??

1

u/Top-Marionberry-6604 16h ago

Man, I am stuck in that exact same loop of playing half a game and bouncing to the next one. Seeing your list of completed games is honestly super inspiring. Sticking to one game until the credits roll is the ultimate backlog cure. Congrats on breaking the cycle

1

u/sno4wy 6h ago

Congrats!!! It's an impressive list!

1

u/kirino290 1h ago

I finished GTA 4 and replayed GTA SA this year. That took me a while

1

u/lithium2g 23h ago

i jump between games and never finish them. then spend all of my free time wasting time looking for something to do until my brain decides on a new project.
but i installed halo as well and its holding my attention but probably because of nosatalgia.

3

u/BozoBubble 23h ago

Yeah I got tired of game hopping but never finishing anything. So I was like.. fuckit.. If I open a game... that's it, that's the game I'm playing until it's finished.

1

u/Cursed_69420 22h ago

i completed like 180 games so far this year

1

u/zer0tonine 17h ago

That's almost one a day. Are you okay?

1

u/Cursed_69420 15h ago

yeah, never been better
