Title: Games in your backlog.
Post by: Mr. Wiggles on June 10, 2007, 04:18:26 PM
I'm sure this has happened at least once to all of us. You start playing a game, and you moderately enjoy it. Then something happens that prevents you from finishing it, like say, a new much more anticipated game comes out, you get stuck on a part, or you simply get bored of the game. So you put it aside and almost forget about, but you want to go back and finish it, though you just never get around to it. Eventually these games start to pile up but you still won't reach for them.

So what I'm essentially asking is what are you currently NOT playing that you want to complete?

My list:

Games that I still need to finish:
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time (gameplay bored me but I reached the final boss before I quit, so I still need to get it over with)
Yoshi's Island DS (again, stuck on final boss)
Diddy Kong Racing DS (haven't really picked this up since I got it around the same time I got Super Paper Mario and Pokemon Diamond)
Starfox Adventures (got stuck somewhere on the snowy part of the planet and never picked up again. It was an interesting game though)
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Yes. As sad as it is, I haven't beaten this because I never had the time to finish it)
Elebits (Also never had much time to play it)

Games I restarted that I should finish:
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (when I heard your stats in PoR would affect your characters in Goddess of Dawn, I wanted to go back and max out all of them. A few weeks later, I got Super Paper Mario. End of story)
Pokemon Sapphire (used to belong to my sister and I plan on milking it for items and legendaries)
Pokemon Colossuem (I want my Ho-oh again, as well as the legendary dogs)

Games I haven't even touched since getting:
Galactic Wrestling Ft. Ultimate Muscle
Def Jam Vendetta

Coincidentally, both games were produced by AKI, who developed WWF No Mercy for the N64, which is the best wrestling game ever in my book.

Elebits (I had no motivation to complete this game once I got to the forth area. Every stage in this game is just too time consuming, and zapping elebits gets tedious at times.)
Donkey Kong Country 2 (GBA) (I couldn't get past the spike maze level on the last world, so I gave up)
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones (Way too hard, even on easy mode)
Luigi's Mansion (I was too afraid to play it, so I never put the game in my GameCube)
Shadow the Hedgehog (Thought it would be too violent, so it received the same fate as Luigi's Mansion)

The only game I can think of right now is the ROM I downloaded of Chrono Trigger. Funny, I was just thinking of it earlier today. I always make sure to complete games I actually buy.

Luigi's Mansion (I was too afraid to play it, so I never put the game in my GameCube)
Classic Quote?
-A Link to the Past. I'm not so good at 2-D Zelda, and I lost interest kind of quickly...
-The Wind Waker. I kind of quit playing after finally getting the IN-CREDIBLE chart, but I played recently and got most of the Triforce charts and the color pictograph box...
-Super Mario Bros. 2 (J). This should be on most people's lists...

I beat SMB2J in SMAS.

Anyway, I restarted Pokémon Yellow about a month ago and I've only gotten 4 badges so far. I don't feel like finishing it, though, as I had recently gotten Star Fox Command.

This makes me think: why do people buy games they never intend on finishing? I hear friends of mine complain all the time that they don't have anything interesting to play, and yet they have a backlog full of titles that I'm sure they have forgotten about/don't care about/etc..

Now, as for my backlog..

Super NES

Yoshi's Island (I just started a new file again the other day..)
Super Mario RPG (a fairly new file: just got Mallow and was chasing Croco around the Bandit's Way)
Super Metroid (started a file to get 100%. Beat MotherBrain with 99%..)

N64

Super Mario 64 (I think I was trying to see how few stars I could finish the game with, without using the swtiches or secret stars..)
Paper Mario (Saved after saving the second Star Spirit, I think..)
Dr Mario 64 (I've never been able to finish any form of story mode with out losing or retrying)
Yoshi's Story (I have been trying to unlock all the pages for Trial mode. Cursed page 6-3..)
Mario Party 3 (Trying to get somebody other than Mario through the Story mode)

Gamecube

Mario Golf Toadstool Tour (I have been holding off on getting the secret characters. Outside of Boo, the selection kind of sucks..)
Mario Kart Double Dash (I've actually finished this one before, but I erased it and started over again because I abolutely can not stand the Petey/Boo team. (Boo is ok, but Petey is too friggin huge.. Burn his leaves off!)
Mario Baseball (I had to stop playing this game for a while because I was actually getting mad enough to throw the controller and biting my fiancee's head off. At the time, I had no idea there were so many rules for baseball [in real life], so going back and playing again, they have programmed it very well. I have yet to turn but a handful of characters into Star players)
Mario Power Tennis (I thought Toad would be unlockable further into the game, but I stopped playing after I realised that all my characters were Star players, and still no Toad..)
Mario Parties (all the ones for Gamecube involve similar things, so they're all here. I am in the process of completing them by earning as many points and buying as many things as I can in each game..)
Pikmin 2 (Two caves full of treasure are all that are left..)
Animal Crossing (getting the full catalog..)\

Wii

Super Paper Mario (going back and completing the two Pits of 100 trails, and possibly getting a few recipes. I don't know, though, because while SPM is a good game, I don't know how I feel about it being a Paper Mario title yet.. Something feels kind of off..)
Star Fox 64 (on the Virtual Console! This is one of two games that I downloaded that I haven't owned before. I haven't had the chance to finish playing through the one player mode yet..)
F-Zero (on the VC! See above for explaination..)
Kid Icarus (on the VC! I finally got through level 1-4!)

Handhelds

Mario Hoops (still playing through..)
Animal Crossing DS (completing catalog..)


I think that covered everything. It's not that I try and play all these games at once, it's just that I get bored sometimes with a game, so I randomly switch back and forth between the above titles, or just play whatever is nearby (my DS when I'm at my parents', like now).
Title: Re: Games in your backlog.
Post by: SushieBoy on June 10, 2007, 09:37:57 PM
I need to beat: Super Metroid (I get stuck with the little wall jumping gremling thingies)

Super Mario Sunshine: YES, I haven't beaten the game, I got stuck with the anoying little platforming stages, but I came back and now I'm at Corona Mountain.

Sonic CD: can never pass the last boss...

That's about all for now...

Let's see...

Banjo-Kazooie Got distracted by stuff and forgot about it.
Donkey Kong Country 2 (GBA) Bleh. Bad port. All the extra stuff, crap controls and graphics ticked me off.
Earthbound Perhaps a bit too random for me. Boyfriend is constantly telling me to pick it back up.
Game & Watch Gallery 4 See BK

Post by: Lizard Dude on June 11, 2007, 04:28:40 AM
Let's see what I can think of...

Bought But Never Even Opened Yet
Chulip (PS2) -- I buy Atlus titles that I think will be interesting the second they come out because they get rare FAST
Indigo Prophecy (PS2) -- I played a friend's copy but had to give it back before I finished. I later bought my own but it's still in the shrinkwrap.
Psychonauts (PC)
Command & Conquer Generals (PC)
Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee (PC) -- I had very fond memories of playing the demo of this when it came out. I eventually bought it cheap online but it's still in the shrinkwrap.


Tragically Unbeaten Games
Karaoke Revolution 5 (Country) and 6 (American Idol) -- I've played both of these like once or twice.
Partners in Time -- Tried starting twice. Stalled out both times. *shrug*
Super Paper Mario -- Stalled on World 8. This will probably be remedied shortly.
Ouendan 2 -- Well, the ice skating stage on Very Hard keeps killing me while I have 300 combos and such. This is more like stuck than stalled!
Smooth Moves -- I kinda drifted away. I haven't even seen every microgame yet! This I will definitely go back to soon though.
Viewtiful Joe 2 -- I only tried on Adults and got stuck at a part. I've beaten the original on Adults with no deaths no prob like three times so... This one I plan to redo VERY soon.
Final Fantasy VI -- Most tragic tale of the list. I borrowed it from a friend in middle school. Got to final dungeon. Guess it was actually a game his brother had borrowed from someone else. So I was like fourth on the chain of borrowing and the original guy wanted/needed it back and it was wrested from my SNES while I was playing the final dungeon. I have never played FFVI since.
Final Fantasy VIII -- I have this for PC. The first time I played it I just drifted away at some point. The second time I was majorly gung-ho. I was quickly nearing the end and happened to upgrade my videocard. Turned out it requires some butt-old 2D hardware that modern cards don't even support so I could no longer play it. Next time I guess I'll play on PSX. Chupperson Weird was supposed to get me a copy.
Final Fantasy X -- I've played this twice and drifted away both times. The second time I'm sure I was almost done. Dang it!
Final Fantasy XII -- Played it once and drifted away. Just so I don't seem like a total loser, I have beaten FF1: Dawn of Souls, FFIV Advance, FFVII, and FFIX.
Fallout -- I've tried this like three times and never make it very far. Usually quit after Junktown, I think it was called.
Odin Sphere -- The entire I time I played this I was only thinking one thing: "Dang this makes me want to play Viewtiful Joe." So I did. Guess this reveals my true colors as a gamer. :P
World of Warcraft -- I'm still only level 69. My guild hates me. :(
Brood War -- I've gotten to the third to last mission like three times and always mysteriously drift away at that point. It's not a difficulty issue because I never really even try it. I have a complex about restarting games from the very beginning, so each of these times I played though the entire original campaign and then 95% of Brood War campaign. I recently restarted the whole process again because I need to see the complete story before Starcraft II hits.
Super Mario Sunshine -- Sure I've beaten it, but never got every Shine. The whole blue coin thing is pretty weak sauce.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney -- Stalled on 5th case.
Tales of Symphonia -- I couldn't bear to go on because an inventory item I gave away stayed in my inventory and also because sometimes there was voice acting and sometimes there wasn't. And the blonde girl's voice made me want to rip my hair out while slamming my foot in a door. Kratos (Kratos? Was that the name? How that name has changed for me :)) made up for it though, and made me want to melt into a wittle puddle of wuve (in a manly way, of course).
Star Fox Assault -- I got 8/9 endings...
Myst, Longest Journey, other Famous Adventure Games -- Due to my bullheadedness about using walkthroughs, many adventure games are impossible for me! BALLS!
Freedom Force -- My friend and I both had the same problem. We play until we get to the Impossible Mission with the mole people or whatever. A real shame too because I loooove the game.
Painkiller -- I think I couldn't figure out how to hurt the second big boss.
Tron 2.0 -- Always drift away.


And there are surely a hundred more, but these are the most tragic examples I could immediately think of. Man, this thread makes me feel like a major loser. Time to go cry.

Post by: WarpRattler on June 11, 2007, 08:37:05 AM
Super Mario 64 DS (the friend I borrowed it from got rid of his DS, so I won't finish this any time soon)
Lost Magic (see above)
Chrono Trigger (got stuck at Lavos...)
FFXII (the one time I actually got into it, I got slaughtered by a werewolf, gave up, and started playing R-TYPE Final)
FFVII (I have no interest in finishing this any time soon)
FFVIII (I got sidetracked by the card game)
Metroid Prime
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (I really have no excuse for not finishing either of these)

Games I have access to, but have yet to install and/or start:

FFIX
FFX
FFX-2
FFXI (yeah, I don't think I've ever bought a Final Fantasy game myself, so I'll have to play a friend's copy of FFIX, and my younger brother's FFX and FFX-2...I got an FFXI buddy pass, so I've got a free month of that when I get around to it)
Psychonauts (PC)
Beyond Good and Evil

Games I still need to buy:

Metroid Prime: Hunters
New Super Mario Bros.
Elite Beat Agents
Tetris DS
Mario Kart DS
A whole bunch of other DS games
StarCraft (this may no longer be true soon)

I'm definitely forgetting stuff, but seeing as I'm forgetting it, I don't know what it is right now...

SMW (VC) -- Stuck in the first Ghost House. X_X
Metroid Prime -- Stuck on the final boss, and didn't play it again for months.  Started a new save file later, and beat it.
SM64 -- I've beaten the game, but I don't have all of the Stars yet.
SM Sunshine -- See SM64, but replace Stars with Shine Sprites.
Yoshi's Island (GBA) -- Stuck on World 4-4
SMB Deluxe -- Stuck on 8-1
PM: TTYD -- Beaten it twice.  My cousin and I stated a third save file.  I'm in the Palace of Shadow, but since I had already beaten the game twice, I got sidetracked by games that I have NOT beaten.
Pikmin 2 -- I was trying to get all the treasures, but I eventually got sidetracked
Animal Crossing -- I was satisfied when I finally got the Master Sword.  I might play it again sometime this summer to find more fish and bugs.
Pokemon Colosseum -- beat it; created a new file on a different memory card, but got distracted with other games.
Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness -- See Pokemon Colosseum
Zelda II: Adventure of Link (GBA) -- Too freaking hard.  Got past the first dungeon, but that's as far as I've gotten.
The Legend of Zelda (GBA) -- I beat it.  That's enough satisfaction for me.  I didn't get very far in the second quest.
Pokemon Pearl -- Trying to get Mesprit (I wish I hadn't used that Masterball on Palkia), but soon I'm just gonna say 'screw that' and go on to the Pokemon league.  Incidentally, I've been so distracted by the Internet that I haven't touched Pearl as much as I'd like to.
LoZ: Link's Awakening -- Beat it once on my friend's copy; I eventually got my own copy, but I don't really want to bother writing down the directions to reach the final boss.
Nintendogs -- Got distracted by Pokemon Pearl.  I need to get my dogs into the dog hotel...
NSMB -- Still play it every once in a while, but I'm stuck on W 6-6 and W 6-B.  I sometimes get sidetracked by playing Poker with Luigi.
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team -- Completed the story mode.  After getting some of my favorite legendaries, I got distracted with other games.
Hey You, Pikachu -- My chinchilla chewed on the microphone cord...

Post by: Chupperson Weird on June 11, 2007, 09:57:02 PM
I'm going to go LD's route somewhat as well.

Bought but haven't played yet
Gunpey DS - Supposed to be good so I bought it. No time to play so far.
Final Fantasy VIII - A recent acquisition which will hopefully soon be played.
Final Fantsy IX - see above.
Final Fantasy XII - How I've gone this long without even putting this in my PS2 is beyond me. Hopefully remedied soon.
Gitaroo Man - Bought from a friend because the opportunity presented itself.
Ico - Being the pre-sequel to one of the coolest PS2 games, I had to get it. Wish I had more time!
Rez - I have a thing for PS2 games with 3-letter titles.
Space Channel 5 Special Edition - argh no time
Ys: The Ark of Napishtim - no time yet

I think that pretty much sums up the games I haven't even played yet. Now for the tragically unbeaten:

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Final Fantasy III - played this for a long time then since about a month ago I haven't touched my DS. Wonder what happened.
Final Fantasy X - played this for 45 minutes the night I got it and for some reason have not yet returned.
Super Paper Mario - haven't poured enough hours into this one yet.
Katamari Damacy - if I had more time I would beat a lot more games.
Shadow of the Colossus - ^
Xenosaga - I really want to play this a lot.
Xenogears - same.
Chrono Cross - I've started this game a couple times, never had the time to get very far.
Tsugunai: Atonement - Weird Atlus game with Yasunori Mitsuda music, the primary reason I picked it up (also the fact that I've never seen it anywhere before or since). Cool game though, will finish eventually.
Baten Kaitos - Dang.
Tales of Symphonia - way, way too long.
Odama - Played for a few days, haven't returned yet even though I've wanted to.
Viewtiful Joe 2 - I got bored with this one pretty fast for no specific reason.
Yoshi's Island DS - I kinda want to finish this
Twilight Princess - School stopped me from completing the final dungeon and I haven't been able to get back to it. I need to just take an hour to finish the darn thing, although my momentum is so messed up by now it feels really weird to do that.
Chrono Trigger - I have gotten to the final boss several times. Last time I played I still was lacking in skill and for some reason never finished beating it. Dang!
Final Fantasy VI - I played this on SNES for a while and for some reason drifted away. Need to finish.
Final Fantsy IV - My SNES cart's save is currently out of comission.
Astro Boy: Omega Factor - I don't know what happened to make me stop playing this. I seem to recall a very hard level somewhere.

There are others, but those are the ones that I actually do want to finish.
Title: Re: Games in your backlog.
Post by: Pt_Peach on June 12, 2007, 01:31:57 AM
Alrighty folks!

Games that I need to finish:

Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker (GC) (I WANT to finish it...but the wretched pieces of the Triforce.)
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (GC) (yeah, the Shadow Queen is horrible!)
Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life (GC) (The game was going...to slow.)
Animat Crossing (GC) (I was almost finished upgrading my house.)

Games I restarted that I should finish:
The Sims (PC) (I simply restarted...and I haven't touched it since.)

Games I haven't touched since I bought them:
Jackie Chan Adventures (GBA) (Ugly game :(.)



Sure, there are lots of N64 games that I never touched that we got bundled.

Post by: bobman37 on June 12, 2007, 02:45:46 PM
Lizard Dude sets trends.

All games that are currently unfinished are this way- unless otherwise noted- because I for some reason lose interest for large periods of time, then come back and either start over or realize I'm still stuck.

Off the top of my head:

NBA on NBC- Best basketball game I have ever played. Which isn't saying much. I still have like, five teams to beat.
Crash Bash- Come on. It's Crash Bash.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4- Still haven't gotten all the achievements yet.
Top Spin- This game takes forever. I would win a whole match, the opponent scoring like, two points, and it takes an hour to finish a tournament. Geez.
Burnout Revenge- Just lost interest for some reason. Kind of repetitive. About halfway finished.
ESPN NFL 2K5- This game takes forever, too. You need to play like, a million games to unlock all the Crib Achievement things.
Final Fantasy VII- Yeah I played this game for like, an hour.
Final Fantasy IX- ^
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance- After pouring hours and hours into this game, I still can't get all 200 missions done. I always end up throwing away a vital item
New Super Mario Bros- Of course I've beaten this game. ...on one file. I promised myself I will not be done with this game until all three files are three-starred.
Meteos- I got pretty far but then it got boring quick. I still have stuff to unlock.
Metroid Prime Hunters- Haven't beaten the final boss yet
Final Fantasy Dawn of Souls- I'm stuck on Final Fantasy I. I don't remember where. I never even started Final Fantasy II
The Legend of Zelda Oracle of Seasons- Stuck on the final dungeon
Prince of Persia Warrior Within- I got pretty far but never finished it for some reason
Animal Crossing Wild World- Is it even possible to beat this game?
Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga- It broke before I could finish it
Every Pokemon game I have- I have never caught all 150/250 whatever. Except I seem to remember doing it in Red once. So not Red.

Final Fantasy IV - I was playing it for a while, then I had no time, now I started a new game and just about beat it
Final Fantasy VIII - Played until some point on the 1st disk, and the game freezes during a cutscene, so I can't continue
LoZ: WW - Don't remember where I was, just got bored of it.
Devil May Cry - Just haven't had time
Secret of Mana - No time/bored towards the end.  I should try it out again.
Kingdom Hearts II - Jeez it long...

Interesting. I recently completed Metroid Prime for about the sixth time (yesterday, in fact).
Two normal 100%, one hard 100%, the rest hard without 100%. I don't like putting myself through the painful process of backtracking for scans when I've done it already.

Speaking of a backlog, I do not own any games I have not completed. Unless you call not having all 490-some Pokémon grounds for not finishing Diamond. You see, being a very goal oriented person, I rarely buy new games when I have games I have not beaten left and right. No matter how difficult it is to finish (curse you, Metroid Prime 2). I don't mean to boast, however, because I don't own an enormous amount of games to begin with.

You'd better not be boasting if you call Metroid Prime 2 hard. ;)

Post by: Suffix on July 10, 2007, 12:35:55 AM
Heheheh, no, it was remembering all the one-time scans that made me restart around four times. But the Spider Ball Guardian, when I had no strategy, was pretty tough! I beat it with 8 units of energy left on the first time! (and died not long after I got the Power Bomb)

I have yet to beat Super Mario Bros. 2. Even worse, I only beat SM64 about a week ago, and that was because I loaded by sister's save file, who was farther in the game than I was.

Post by: WarpRattler on July 10, 2007, 10:37:50 PM
I actually beat Super Mario Bros. 2 before I beat the original.

Add Scurge: Hive to my backlog; it'll probably be a while before that game enters SLOT 1 on my DS again. Stupid final boss and its nine health bars.

Why spoil the game for you? And I like that design!

The only game I can think of right now is the ROM I downloaded of Chrono Trigger. Funny, I was just thinking of it earlier today. I always make sure to complete games I actually buy.

You remind me of my friend.  Everyone should complete Chrono Trigger.

Anyway, this is exactly what I was thinking of the other day...

PSP
Loco Roco (which I really want to finish)
Mega Man: Powered Up (which is stupid with a capital 'S')
ATV Offroad Fury: Blazin' Trails (which doesn't interest me)

I mainly don't play them because my PSP is dedicated to emulation anyway.

N64
Tetrisphere
Pokemon Stadium
Pokemon Stadium 2

SNES
Wario's Woods
Sim City (which I never even started playing.)

NES
Legend of Zelda II: Adventure of Link
Super Mario Bros. *gasp*

Genesis
Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog 2

The only Sonic game I ever beat was Sonic 3 & Knuckles

Gamecube
F-Zero GX
Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly (DO NOT buy this game!)

That's all I can think of right now...

The only games I haven't finished are some SNES games like F-Zero and this Hockey game(forgot the name) and some other games that someone lost for me. I try to make sure that I beat every game I get, or I just feel that it's a waste. On F-Zero, my SNES doesn't perform too well, so games just freeze or crash for some reason. Also, I got up to this track where you have to go off a ramp and fly past a huge gap, but no matter how fast I go, the gap is too big and I can't seem to get past it (the computer players get through it with no problem). Personally, I enjoyed Mario and Luigi: Partners In Time A LOT. Easily one of the best games I've ever played. I hope I get to beat F-Zero sooner or later.

Hint: hold back and then forward to get enough air and then accelerate past the gap.

I got Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2 for Christmas 2006. I played until the third world, and then I lost interest, mainly because that was also the time I got my Wii, Kirby: Squeak Squad, and Yoshi's Island DS. I was also playing Sonic Adventure 2 (the Gamecube version) because my Gamecube had started refusing to read certain disks for some reason, and I could finally play it again on the Wii. I might finish MvDK2...someday.

Games in my backlog:

Pretty much every Megaman X title: They're pretty boring and far more frustrating when compared to the Classic series, so I just gave up.

Mario and Luigi: I dunno, I just never got into this game.

Super Mario RPG: As hard as this game is to find, as soon as I got it, I put it away and never played it.

These are just a few that come to mind. If I find more, I'll post 'em.

Have you ever played, I dunno, Mega Man X 1, 2, or 3?
Title: Re: Games in your backlog.
Post by: PaperLuigi on July 24, 2007, 10:14:06 AM
Yup.

Some other games I'd like to complete but haven't gotten to 'em yet include: Legend of Zelda: Twighlight Princess, Metal Gear Solid 2, Donkey Kong 64 and Kirby and the Amazing Mirror.

EDIT: Ah. All of the jibba jabba in this (http://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=10604.0) topic reminds me that I haven't beaten Viewtiful Joe yet.

Games never beaten:
-Super Mario Deluxe.  The Super Players version specifically, I always got stuck on 8-4! Argh!
-Looney Tunes Twouble, or Trouble.  The label is ripped.
-Pokemon Yellow.  I've beaten Red and Blue and never got around to beating this one.  I don't count catching all 151 pokemon, becaue I don't have a link cable, so there!
-Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis.  The glitches prevented my interest once I started playing Sonic Advance 1.
-Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga.  I frequently stop playing this game due to quick boredom of fighting a boss a couple times.  I'm pathetic. 9_9
-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, on medium and hard.
-Pokemon Silver, since I still haven't fought Red.
