Finished Games 2012

[muddi900]

First you read this, because I worked hard on it:
http://www.colonyofgamers.com/cogfor...ad.php?t=25607

The list in question:

Oh noes! THE APAPCALYPSE IS COMING! LOOK BUSY...playing vidjya games. It's like the last two years, except it's not. I've added my own little twists:

Like/Dislike:
There was very little discourse in the last threads, and this is a great way to engage. It also adds another data set, which would lead to more graphs and charts, and everybody loves graphs and charts...right? Kinda inspired by Dukefrukem's Release list threads.

Replays
I will be frank here, I never read the OP in the previous threads, I thought replays counted
Anyway, when you replay a game, you finish it. Mention that. You don't need to mention if you liked.

Brags
Let's be honest here, we are just here to pad our epeens. And this is another way to do it. Whether you 100% Arkham City, beat A Link to the Past with only 3 hearts or reach the top 10 in the global leaderboards in Battlefield 3, it goes in this column. Anything gaming you feel brag-worthy counts. No judgements. OK, a little judgement.

Here are some frequently asked questions, which is weird because this is the first time I am doing this and no one has asked me a single question:

What is this?
It's a thread where people post the games they finish, and I and a bunch of collaborators update a list of who finished what.

Why?
'Cause it's a website called Colony of Gamers


Why not cheevos?
If you get 100% cheevos/trophies in a game, and you'd like to brag about it, you are more than welcome.

I just finished the HD/3D/Holo-brain-stream remake of [insert game] that I originally finished all those years ago. Does that count as a replay?
Unless the gameplay is significantly altered, it's a replay.

I finished Mass Effect 3 just now and I am going for my second playthrough. Does that count as a replay?
Yes. Your name would be on both columns.

[b]I am on my twenty-sev...[b]
No, Karak, I will only count it once.

How do you complete a game like Cut the Rope?
Same way you way you finish something like Ninja Gaiden; you complete the minimum set of requirement to finish all levels. For Cut the Rope, it would be feeding the candy to the monster.

Keep in mind these rules only apply to games you finish in 2012. If you came back to a game you left 5 years ago, it counts.

I'll start things off:

ChuChu Rocket, liked

[TheKeck]

If you'd like me to continue helping with this, just add me as an editor.

[menage]

Yay for the 2012 thread!

I recently replayed and finished Dead Space 2.

I like it a lot more than my first time. Got a ton of trophies doing the cool things with the weapons. I'm not keen on trophies/achievements which result in grinding or doing massively hard stuff, but these were meant to experiment and be creative in a way which wouldn't occur to me sometimes. It was huge fun.

[muddi900]

I am thinking, if a person replays a game, should I add them to like, or should it be a given?

[TheKeck]

My initial thought would be to put them in the like column as well.

[maharahaj]

Rush - Disliked

[maharahaj]

Thanks for all the hard work muddi. And like TheKeck said in the other thread, I pretty much come straight to these threads as soon as I finish a game.

[Spigot]

So does this mean we're not going to have the Yay/Nay thread?

[jpublic]

Finished so far this year:

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
Assassin's Creed Revelations
Skyrim

And I liked them all.

Sent from my Kobo.

[Wolvie]

Edit: Puzzle Agent 1 & 2- liked.

Got 1000/1000 cheevo's on Skyrim. Yay!

[Arphahat]

Skyrim

Liked it, definitely.

This is the first Elderscrolls game that I actually completed the main quest in. Every other one, I'd spend hundreds of hours, burn out and start a different char, then burnout again and restart much later since I could never recall what was going on.

Replaying as an evil Thalmor mage, with the compass disabled. Completely different experience.

I don't know about that. I asked duke to incorporate it into this thread but never got a reply.

[TheKeck]

I took the liberty of adding menage to the likes column because otherwise he wasn't showing up in the total likes number. I guess you could change the formula to include people from both columns. (But avoiding duplicates?) Or just decide that replay people don't get to be counted. Feel free to change it up if you like.

Looks like Skyrim and jpublic are out to an early lead.

[Mattism]

I finished

Turok(360) -- I like the game.

[SenatorSpacer]

Finished Skyrim and Saints Row the Third. Both on the Xbox 360, and I give both a like!

It seemed a little redundant, but why not.

[menage]

I really need to finish Skyrim. I keep dicking around. And I want to go evil soon with a new chara.

[jpublic]

Oh, Puzzle Agent 2. Yeah, finished that. You could call it a like.

[Dostoyevsky]

Rage (360) - I liked it well enough, but I think the failure of Id in this case is the lack of any difficulty. One should not be able to play through the entire game on Nightmare using primarily wingsticks and not break a sweat. Challenge me, assholes!
