Ohhhhhhhh boy! I recently went through a list of games that I have and while I have played some I have yet to finish them and god damn there are a lot. Not as many as some may think, but it is still a lot especially when I have big games like Far Cary 3 to finish and The Witcher 2 to start. On top of those two I also have the Assassin's Creed 2 Ezio trilogy which almost feels like a chore at this point; AC 2 is a good game but there is just something about it that makes me.....I don't know irked I guess. I think there is just too much to do in that game and like the problem with most open world games most of the side stuff and collectibles to get don't relate to the main story as a whole.
Besides all that it kind of upsets me a little that I can't power game like I use to, go through a whole game in a day or two. It could be because I am getting older or the fact that I am trying to be more productive at making my own projects happen I am not sure really. Far Cry 3 has lit a fire in me though, I found my self playing that for 6 hours straight one day never getting board of it and always finding something to do. I am almost finished with it and while there are some design issues I have with it, like being way too powerful by the end and also [SPOILER ALERT] killing the best villain way to soon because there is someone worse supposedly, it is still a great game that I need to finish. Currently however I am into playing Spelunky at the moment I missed the craze that happened over that game 2 years ago but it is still a freaking good game as frustrating as it is still has me comign back in for more.
I have no idea how or when I will be able to finish all the games on this list but I really want to try. I paid for these games, others were gifts I have awesome friends, but I feel like I owe it myself to play these games and have these experiences no matter if they are awesome or frustrating or forgettable or surprising I feel like I need to finish them. Some might say I wont need to but to hell with that I have this list I am going to try my hardest not to make it grow and finish a good chunk of it by the years end, though I doubt Spelunky will be one of those games, fuck the spikes and the monkeys god damn it.
Here is the list:
- Far Cry 3
- Assassin's Creed 2: Ezio's Saga (3 games)
- Warhammer 40k: Space Marine
- The Witcher 2
- Darksiders
- Darksiders 2
- Spelunky
- Mercenary Kings
- GTA V
- Company of Heroes
- Command & Conqure Red Alert 3 (Got to finish part of my childhood no matter how cheesy)
- Dawn of War 1 and all it's expansions: Winter Assault, Dark Crusade, and Soulstorm (4 games)
- Dawn of War 2
- Dawn of War 2: Chaos Rising
- Anomaly Warzone Earth
- Magika
- Mark of the Ninja
- Transformers: War for Cybertron
- Walking Dead Season 2
- FTL (This one may not happen as soon enough)
- Rogue Legacy
- Xcom: Enemy Uknown
- Xcom: Enemy Within
- Shadowrun Returns
- Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut
Those are 30 games that I got here, is it ambitions to try and tackle all of them? Maybe but I don't care really about that. I have been playing games my whole life and I am not about to stop for any reason. This is my hobby this is a main talking point among my friends, hell I want to make these types of games some day. All I hope to do now is to not get distracted by some shinny new one and just play through with what I got and enjoy them. Of course for all I know a Steam sell will happen and then that 30 will become 40 or 50. I sure hope that doesn't happen but who knows.
