What games have you completed? 2014 Edition

I don't think that is true at all. If for instance the game is a single player, story driven game then surely completing the main story constitutes completion. Why should you care if you fail to find a handful of insignificant items? Just play until you've gotten all the enjoyment you can.

Well I don't think it's a unanimous thing, but there are those out there that have stated they haven't finished a game yet because they still have *this trophy/achievement* to get.

I've heard it a few times, and it kind of irritates me just a small bit.

These are but one/two of a few threads I've came across where the term "completed/finished/cleared" is regarded as earning all trophies or achievements

" HOW MANY GAMES HAVE YOU COMPLETED THIS YEAR"


And on this article, a lad is debating that trophies have ruined the Playstation 3


I believe that finishing the game's story/campaign is enough to say "game completed" but it saddens me that there are those out there - particularly a younger generation - that regard a game completed as 100% Trophies earned.

Yuck...

What's an "achievement"? I couldn't care less about any of those gamerpoints or trophies or whatever. Completing the main story is the game being completed. Sometimes I'll play games past that if I am really enjoying it (or try the hardest difficulty level if I didn't on the first playthrough) but I have too much of a backlog for that most of the time. I'm certainly not going to do that collect all the feathers/animus or whatever ****e in Assassin's Creed or get all the Riddler trophies in Batman or whatever long slog collectibles some games add to lengthen the game. I play games to have fun, running from one end of the map to the other for collectibles for no reason is not fun, in my opinion. The only ones I collect everything in are Mario games and they are usually fun to get the hidden things in.

Just completed Enslaved on 360. Not without it's flaws but all in all very enjoyable. Very underrated game imo and very cheap these days.

Finished Crysis 3 last night.

Bit meh overall. Much the same as Crysis 2 with a better boss fight at the end. Instantly forgettable though.

Just finished Splinter Cell: Blacklist on PS3. Very much enjoyed it and opted for the realistic option straight away. Challenging but thoroughly enjoyable trying to find different routes to proceed through each mission.

Story is decent but the graphics during the cut scenes are absolutely dreadful.

Game plays well enough though and hopefully there'll be another in the pipeline.

Not a game per se, but I completely my first ever multiplayer game of Civ 5 last night. First cultural and one city challenge victory earlier in the month too. Does that count?

Completed Dishonored, fantastic game, very under whelming ending.

"Ah sure I'll try out Little Inferno for a few minutes"

So, yeah, I finished Little Inferno.

Just completed CounterSpy on PS4. It's a very repetitive game but quite addictive nonetheless.

Would probably never play it again though in all honesty.

Another in the bag - in bold:

Nexus 7

- Swordigo: cool little platformer, worked well on the tablet
- The Room: puzzle game that everyone seems to have played!
- Kingdom Rush: enjoyable tower defense
- Spider: fun for what it was

PC

- Guacamelee: absolutely awesome, one of my favourite games of the past few years
- Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons: this was exceptional, a great gaming experience
- Crysis Warhead: enjoyable for what it was, very similar to the original Crysis
- Mass Effect 3: was pretty good but not a patch on the first two in terms of the plot
- Assassin's Creed 2: The first AC game I played, really enjoyable if a bit of a slog towards the end. Has aged really well
- Serious Sam 3: BFE: Fun game, as you would expect if you played previous Serious Sam games. Loads and loads of enemies, often coming at you in massive waves. Huge final boss!

Wii U

- Super Mario Bros. U: Good little game, could be tough and looked gorgeous in HD
- The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD: the first Zelda game I played, I'd rate it as mediocre to be honest

Still working on Rayman Origins (co-op with the wife), Bit.Trip presents Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien on the PC and Broken Sword on the Nexus 7.

Will start Pikmin 3 on the Wii U and Darksiders on the PC in the next week.

Stacking (PS3)

Really enjoyable little game. There's certainly some replay value in it but whether I go back to it or not is a different story.

It's a game that could probably be finished in 3/4 hours but it certainly doesn't over stay its welcome.

Yeah played that on PC and I think when I completed a puzzle I went and tried to find the alternate methods as well just because I could. Could've finished it quicker but I was enjoying trying to figure out how to use each ability.
