Final Fantasy IV The Complete Collection---PSP
Lord of the Rings: Shadow of Mordor--------PS4

*My personal Game of the Year

 

[Raduque]

I think Mad Max, Borderlands and Broken Age were the only games I finished in 2015. Well for PC, anyway. I also finished CoD Advanced Warfare on X1.

OP, I see a lot of Hidden Object games in your list. :thumbsup:, but those are simple to finish if you have 5-10 hours a week.

Yep, I got hooked on them in 2015. Some days I was finishing one each evening after work.

2-4 hours gameplay is perfect for these games - much better than playing any recent Call of Duty, that's for sure.

Do you guys write down what you beat or play games in a systematic way?

Yes, I've designed & written a custom database application for myself which among other things tracks when I finish games.

Some of us spend more time gaming instead of (rather than in addition to) watching a lot of TV & movies these days. 35 games over 52 weeks isn't that impossible given 2-3hrs gaming most evenings (plus extra at weekends). Almost half my list this year were also fairly short (5-10hrs) and can be finished in 2-4 evenings (2-3 short games per week). Some lists initially seem a lot, but howlongtobeat.com reveals just how few games overall are anywhere near +20hrs outside of RPG's.

Yep, I don't watch TV and I've cut my forum time/mindless browsing right back. I'd much rather play games or write code for my own games.

It's also quite amusing how many hours some gamers spend each week arguing over CPU's & GPU hardware brands & benchmarks in tech forums or anticipatory nit-picking over pre-release footage / trivia of upcoming titles whilst simultaneously complaining there's never enough time to play anything today (something I caught myself doing in the past)!

Very true. These people spend weeks arguing over "console ports", "VRAM limitations", "game A looks better than B", "game X is poorly programmed" etc, etc. I'll bet their actual time playing games - the whole point of a GPU - is minimal.

Likewise I bet most have never written a line of code in their life, much less programmed a game.

Armchair quarterbacks FTW! :awe:

OP, Does this list represent what you finished in 15 or just what you purged?

What I finished in 2015. Some games may be missing (i.e. the list could potentially be longer) as when I deleted the games I no longer tracked them.

If for 2015 then you might be playing too much.

So is it games that you finished completely? Or games you played that you personally "finished" playing? If it's the former, not too many:

Reaching the end of the single-player plotline (e.g. the final cut-scene).

For me I also have a personal preference to complete all side quests in open world games.

Completing 100% achievements/secrets/easter eggs/DLC is not required.

You can set up categories in steam and move games to those categories. I have one called "completed".

I have one called "Crap". Basically all the games, beta's, MP's..etc that are imo, total crap that I never want to see again and would prefer to permeantely remove from my account.
Like one in it is Nexius and they shut down the servers so you can't even play it, then there's a Beta version of it. I have a few titles like that...why Valve forces you to keep the Beta's I'll never know.

I just always go straight to "installed" and work on those games and just keep the ones I'd mostly likely replay again. I got to know my gaming habits pretty well finally which is nice that i finally got good at knowing what games I shouldn't buy.

Completing 100% achievements/secrets/easter eggs/DLC is not required.

I know a guy who really sucks at games but is so persistent that he always does 100% everything. That's all he does, works at Jiffy Lube, plays games, eat unhealthy, shit, play more games...year after year.
He'll die the same way over and over in a game like a retard yet still keeps at it until it's 100%'ed. A shit life but I envy his ability to enjoy games so thoroughly.

Forgot to post Arkham Knight.

Although to be fair, it's an entirely forgettable game. I forced myself to finish it since I was a schmuck and paid $60 for it at launch.
And I got the PS4 version, so no bugs to affect my frustration. Just a thoroughly mediocre game from start to finish.

 

[skipsneeky2]

Finished Borderlands 2,bought it and completed it quickly but my cousin says there is vault hunter mode or something where you need to do it multiple times to rank up your bad ass levels?

Battlefield 4 i nearly finished i think,got to the mission where you destroy 2 tanks on foot with c4 and the game glitches when the second tank didn't blow after putting 3 c4 bombs on it and detonating it. I get killed immediately after and i throw in the towel.

My backlog goes as far back as 2007 and the first Bioshock+2 whenever i finish the first.Buddy ruined the Bioshock game with his spoilers but i try hard to complete this game and making it a 2016 goal.

 

[StrangerGuy]

This...and boy is that list short. I realized I don't think I finished a single game this year...

The only single player game I finished this year is The Talos Principle, six months ago.

This is going to sound really weird but for me watching let's play videos of Witcher 3, SWTOR latest xpac, Alien: Isolation are more entertaining, less time consuming and much cheaper than buying and playing those games themselves. The ironic part is their stories in those games are much more intriguing than the gameplay itself which makes them better movies than games.

That is a pretty good idea. I need to do that :thumbsup:

 

[HeXen]

Ha, completely forgot that I did finish AC: Unity in early 2015. I'm the few that loved that game, the artwork and graphics is amazing and was what kept drawing me into it and am really enjoying Syndicate too although there aren't nearly as many NPC's roaming the streets for some reason.
It's impressive that the Anvil 2 engine is capable of 60,000 NPC's on screen, probably not with everything else going on but still it beats the hell out of Bethesda's Creation (gamebryo) engine with their sparsely populated worlds.

 

[el-Capitan]

Finished?

None.

 

[Seba]

BioShock
BioShock 2 + Minerva's Den

[Denithor]

Finished? Probably a couple games of Solitaire or Spider Solitaire or Freecell.

Took a really long hiatus from PC gaming (like, 1-2 years, since quit playing D3). I played stuff on tablet/phone instead. During Thanksgiving Steam sale I picked up Grim Dawn, am now happily back into the quest for epic loot. Got to the final fight on Veteran difficulty but couldn't beat it otherwise that would be my one and only title for 2015. Will certainly happen this year instead.

 

[poofyhairguy]

I finally beat the Steam game. Well, you can't really win. But I have collected enough titles I want at rock bottom prices that I didn't buy any during the Winter Sale. I count that as a win.

Just a quick note: I am absolutely not in any way criticizing anyone's time spent gaming, but please don't assume that everyone who struggles to find the gaming time that they used to are replacing their gaming time with TV & movies.

As for me, I'm pretty sure Pillars of Eternity was the only new game I finished this year. If my memory isn't failing me, I think this was the year I broke down, bought and beat Dawn of War 2.

 

[gorcorps]

I think I only finished Arkham Knight... pretty sure I also didn't finish Far Cry 4 until 2015 either. That's it though =/

Agree, My lack of time is mostly due to work/family.:\. I hate watching TV, haven't watched much of it in years. Summer time I work over 12 hours, too tired to play jack squat, weekends require yard work, errands..etc, which means I have more money to waste on games that I rarely get to play.....because it makes sense, that's why.

However we all know there are some/many people that spend too much time gaming to where their social life/family is a joke. I know dads who's only interaction with their kids is when they both play games. I've known a couple HS kids missing too much school due to MP gaming to a point where they would have black eyes from being up awake playing so much. My own stepson, 24 yrs old lives off of mommy sitting in his room right now playing Xbox. Saying anything starts a fight and he has anger issues so I gave up long ago and just hearing stories of other peoples kids and how pathetic their lives are ...it can get pretty sad out there.
