My yet to be unlocked achievements
Mursinary | 4:05 PM on 05.03.2008 8 comments


So as much as I rag on my friend Kevin for not finishing games(for example, he's never finished Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Not only is it heralded as the greatest game ever, but it's been out since 1998.), I've realized that I myself have quite a few games that I haven't finished. I'm not talking about a bunch of sidequests and item collecting, but the main story mode or whatever. So in an effort to motivate myself so that they weren't wastes of money, I've decided to compile a list of them all, hoping that seeing the grand total will motivate me to actually finish some. The reasons have all been different, ranging from boredom, to being distracted by another game, to being turned off by glitches or whatnot.



Wii
Elebits
Super Paper Mario


Gamecube
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes(I'm at the final boss, but I ran out of beam ammunition right as he had a sliver of health. And of course it's next to fucking impossible to kill him without the beam, as it requires a ton of missles. I haven't touched it since snapping at being so close to victory, only to get pummeled)


Game Boy Advance
Final Fantasy VI
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past


PC
F.E.A.R.(No knock on the game, it's great. I just happened to get TF2 midway between it)
Halo(I started getting this bizarre error a while back, and it would crash at the main menu)


Playstation 2
Shadow of the Colossus
True Crime: Streets of New York
Medal of Honor: Frontline
Silent Hill 2
Silent Hill 4(I haven't really touched this because I want to finish SH2 first)
Manhunt
Final Fantasy X(At the final boss, just need some major leveling)


The following games I don't give a shit about and regret purchasing:
Midnight Club 3
Need for Speed Underground 2(My thoughts on both games here.)
Gran Turismo 4
Metal Gear Solid 2(I'm sorry, this game bored me to shit and had terrible fucking controls. Maybe I'll try it again someday, who knows.[b]

I absolutely love Midnight Club ( 2 and 3 ), I've never found a game that had open-city-racing down so well as that game :-)

Plus it was brilliant to play online on XboxLive :-) We would just 'hang' out in a city with 6 to 8 guys, showing of racing-tricks and moves to eachother or playing tag with cars :-D

You need to beat A link to the past, FFX, and MGS2.

Link to the past is the best 2D game ever, just simple as that.

FFX is amazing, and yes the bosses are near to impossible. But it'll make ya all happy on the inside when you beat it =]

MGS2 I don't know how you find the controls shitty. Than again MGS is my fav video game series ever and I never found them crappy.

Metal Gear Solid 2 sucks?

I've never heard such a thing in my life.

Oh well, at least you're honest.

Hey someone else that thinks that MGS2 was garbage, suck a rarity nowadays.

Indeed it is, Hevy Devy is the man.

And as far as MGS2, I dunno. I tried it twice to sit down and actually play it, and if it's going for the stealth angle, Hitman and Splinter Cell do it better. It's been a few years, but I remember something about how you couldn't shoot unless you switched to the first person view or something, and other awkward things. Maybe after I've run through everything else I'll try it one last time.

Metal. New England Patriots. Games. Guitar. Wanton assholery. Put these things in a blender, and...well, that'd have to be a pretty fuckin big blender to hold an entire football team.
