Title: Hatred for completing games?
Post by: Kairo on April 01, 2006, 11:01:38 PM
Is it just me, or do you really hate it when you complete a game? Its over but you just wish it could of lasted that little bit longer? A few games have done this to me in the past, notably;

1. Halo
2. Halo 2
3. Knights of the old republic 2
4. Final Fantasy 7

And most recently GRAW (Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter)...

I finished that just now actually and its kinda annoying...

What games have had this affect on you?

I don't really know what you're talking about, because I always feel all warm and squishy inside whenever I finish a game.  It's like, "Wow, that was pretty good!"  And it's especially nice if you unlock more features or a NewGame+ or something.

Of all places, I'd think an RPG Maker community forum was the last place I'd see a topic like this.  We, of all people, understand that a game we adore does not have to end... we can create a sequel!!

yeah, sequel! if we finish the original... :P

but...some games like Minish Cap, are to short, which is what i hate...i mean, come on...no Zelda game has only had 5 dungeons before! WHAT THE F*CK?

anyways...harder games i feel fulfilled when i beat them, and like yossy said, when you unlock new stuff

Anime series have this effect on me, unless they end in a way that implies that the story continues, but simply won't be covered. Like Full Metal Alchemist. Somehow, I can live with that, but I feel empty when a series has a "and they lived happilly ever after" or any other kind of ending...

Well there's Super Smash Bros. Melee, which is essentially endless  :^^:

My favourite game is Vagrant Story, which after a few years and multiple tries, I still can't complete it. I have no idea what I'd do if I actually completed it =0

I've never really beaten Morrowind. I've come very close, and I've completed the main quest and the two expansion main quests individually, but I've never gone through and completed everything with a single game file.
And I've started over in that game at least 100 times.

I love Morrowind. :)

I heard Morrowind had one thing tat got changed for the worse in Oblivion

Anyway yeah I felt that way about Halo.   I never really get to the ends of games... only ones I have are D2, Diablo, and Halo... oh and Mech Commander.  Yeah I wish Mech Commander was longer, the sequel just plain SUCKED

Yes, this is true. I don't remember what it was, either, but the general consensus about Oblivion was "totally awesome, but Morrowind DID do a couple things better."

Morrowind ate my life for 2 years. It was crazy addicting. It was also mind-boggling huge. OH, I'vee got a good story. My friend waited an hour for ES4. He got the release day. Skipped school. And his PC wouldn't run it. How ironic.

I truly love Final Fantasy for the great storyline and I feel all fuzy and warm inside when I complete one of them (sometimes a tear).

The same goes for alternative Anime, I usually avoid the popular Anime because they tend to reach 100+ episodes. Many dislike my taste in anime but seeing a great Anime series end gives me also a fuzzy and warm feeling inside (sometimes a tear or two). Last one I seen was Last Exile.

However I did hate when Halo 2 ended right in the middle of the game, I mean come on! Halo 1 ending was one that you say, finnally I'm done... but Halo 2 ended with: okay, lets do this! "The End" WTF!? NNNOOO!!!

Morrowind is a truly a game with no end, and that end is pushed farther with the 2 expansions. Oblivion however is a different story... everything seems to be fine, almost no quests. Morrowind+2XP 1.000+ quests > Oblivion 100- quests.

The only time I get pissed after completing a game is if it ends all of a sudden, or if it's really short.

Most new games nowadays other than a few RPGs seem to be that way.
Title: Re: Hatred for completing games?
Post by: ahref on April 12, 2006, 06:57:24 PM
its also anoying when things or places fizzle out of existanceand you cant go back/use them

eg. FF8 (time distortion thing grrr...no cities left open)
     ff9 ( the roots of the tree growing over the entrance)
     
im sure you can think of others

Haha, the irony of this post made me laugh.  :-D

I never usually finish games. I just end up growing bored of them and/or get stuck and don't feel like continuing. The only game I can recall actually beating is Jade Empire, but that game was short as hell.

I love Animal Crossing because there IS no ending... the game shows you the credits when you are listening to Totakeke's singing..  :-D  ALL games need to be like that.  Neverending.  Yeah.

If there is one thing I don't like about Armored Core, it's the difficulty. It's starts off hard, and continues to get even harder, until eventually when you are about 3/4ths of the way through a given storyline you run into an impossible mission. Armored Core Nexus was so damn hard at the end, I couldn't beat the boss without resorting to Game Shark! NINEBALL IS SATAN!
