A lot of people felt that way, luckily enough people bitched and moaned about it before I did the final two dungeons that I just found what I could while travelling to them. There were maybe 3 of them left when I had to search.

I did however hate having to find maps... get them to Tingle.. to find the coordinates of the piece... that was just awful mechanics.

Yeah that was a bit long, lol

I think there is a certain level of pride and accomplishment you get from a game if you pay for it.

I've seen this with R4 cards for DS. People have about 100 games on a card. They spend maybe 5 minutes on a game, then get bored and try the next. They don't enjoy their games.

Games that I haven't beat (but am planning on):
Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Golden Sun: The Lost Age
Zelda 1 (75%)
Zelda 2 (only the stupid boss left)

Hm I know there have to be more... Especially some GameCube games (we bought sooo many of those). And it looks like I never finish my Zeldas, but it just means I play every Zelda.

Yeah its harder to enjoy pirated/free games. I'm the type to not buy anything pirated (or even used for that matter) if I feel the game is a really good work of art. Like with MGS4, I ended up waiting a few weeks to get it just so I didn't have to buy it used. (Even though I already beat it lol)

I just like showing companies some love if they make something I like a lot.

I beat nearly every game I purchase. The one exception I can think of in somewhat recent times was Phantom Hourglass, because of that damn dungeon you had to keep re-visiting.

I just recently beat Phantom Hourglass again, and it was pretty taxing. Considering how short the game is, it probably could have been a lot worse.

Still a good game though.

Oh, I forgot Zack & Wiki. After dying a few times on a boss stage, I put the game down. Haven't touched it since. But I will again.

Now where did this get bumped from? Someone must have voted I guess. I also realized that I hadn't replied to this.

Interestingly enough, I had a pretty long list of half-complete or untouched games recently. I finished school a few days ago, and between now and the time I get a job, I decided to clear off the list. Going pretty well for now. Although there will be some that I'm going to have to admit that I won't be able to play..

Seems like someone/something is randomly bumping polls on the forum, and nothing can do sadly.

No way! It was bumped when I came here; honest!

And thanks

Yep, schools over; grad ceremony in 10 days

Angrist · 06-13-2011, 07:02 AM
