You know I am in the same boat. I have not really finished any game. I still play Civ 2, Majesty and am trying to finish both Icewind Dale's. I can't finish anything. <br /><br />Sometimes life is too short to finish a game. Sometimes you get all you need out of a certain game and then it's time to move on. You have a big side of beef and if you can't eat it all then that is ok, go to the next meal. All I can do is sample a little here and a little there.<br /><br />In GFW one time you said that your daughter grew out of gaming at age 15. It almost seems as though that is happening to you also. You seem to like to travel. I am 51 and I am getting to feel the 'call of the wild' to travel and do other things. We are getting old Jeff. We can't game like we used to.Cliffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446932103172180245.post-57212218633344561912009-08-16T19:37:17.026-07:002009-08-16T19:37:17.026-07:00Nice.

The fact that the story really does change based on choices--and not just in the Bioware/Bethesda light/dark way--is awesome.<br /><br /> I'm enjoying both of your podcasts.

I have a 6 year old and a 2 year old, and find at the end of the day there simply is no time. And weekend Steam deals mean I have 30 unplayed (undownloaded even) games that I'd love to lose myself in for the next year, had I the time. And even if I start these, there is no way I will be finishing any of them (Grid, Sword of the Stars, HOMM 5, Far Cry 2, Assassin's Creed, and on and on...)<br /><br />I, too, have fallen in love with shorter, simpler games, if for no other reason that the learning curve means I can get in and have my hour of fun a few times a week w/o having to relearn everything each time. I'm currently playing The Space Game over at Casual Collective. It's a fine cross between tower defense and a turtle-style RTS. And it's free, which is no small thing in these times. <br /><br />I just picked up the indy game 10 pack on Steam, as I enjoyed the Braid, Crayon Physics, and Blueberry Garden demos. Also, I expect them to be both fairly short and atypical, which fits into my lifestyle and mental state these days. <br /><br />As always, thanks for sharing.JSDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07297982393116624871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446932103172180245.post-39574899347748388932009-08-10T19:32:56.938-07:002009-08-10T19:32:56.938-07:00So an entire post about all the games you've b...So an entire post about all the games you've been playing recently, and the only two that are published by EA are the ones you claim you haven't played yet.

I gave it up cold turkey right before the latest expansion and haven't looked back.<br /><br />I then went out and bought a PS3 and started collecting a few games. After repeatedly getting controls mixed up between games and not being able to remember where I was in the story, I resigned to play each game to completion before starting a new game (unless I'm just not that into it or I get stuck). <br /><br />Since starting this I've finished F.E.A.R., Resistance, Battlefield: Bad Company, Army of Two, and BioShock.<br /><br />Right now I'm playing through Prince of Persia and have MGS 4 on deck and GTA 4 in the hole.Brettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446932103172180245.post-64722584617611592382009-08-09T18:33:45.638-07:002009-08-09T18:33:45.638-07:00Did you secretly mean Persona 4 or are you really ...Did you secretly mean Persona 4 or are you really going that far back in the Backlog?Reed Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06069821389393850447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446932103172180245.post-16389758811744951862009-08-09T13:26:59.853-07:002009-08-09T13:26:59.853-07:00Oh yeah, Green, I forgot to write this: The Batman...Oh yeah, Green, I forgot to write this: The Batman demo.<br /><br />It's awesome.<br /><br />Awesome.<br /><br />I almost never use that word, but sometimes it's just appropriate. <br /><br />It's really Batman.

Rather, the first thing you do install the game that you've been bad-mouthing for the past twelve months - chiefly, I suppose, because you couldn't run it on your old system - in this case, Crysis.<br /><br />When I opened the CIv 4 box, the receipt fell out, and I was surprised to learn that in August of 2007 I had bought both Civ 4 Gold, which came bundled with Warlords, and its second expansion pack, Beyond The Sword.<br /><br />It surprised me to learn that I've had Civ 4 for two blasted years now because in that entire blasted time I've never, ever, managed to complete a game.<br /><br />What's truly amazing to me is that I've never even advanced far enough into the game to have seen any of the stuff that's in the Beyond The Sword expansion pack - in other words, I've never advanced beyond the sword! This leads me to wonder why I even bothered buying the expansion pack in the first place?<br /><br />The twisted thing about this is that I consider myself to be a Civ fanatic. <br /><br />Maybe this is the reason I loved Civilization Revolution (on the 360) so much last summer - I was actually able to complete a game. (I think I maybe finished two games in Revolution?)<br /><br />Here's the funny thing though. On Monday of last week I bought Spore's first major expansion pack, Galactic Adventures. Spore was a day one purchase for me last September, and it charmed the pants off me - but so far, shockingly enough, I haven't been able to advance beyond the tribal phase. <br /><br />In other words, even though I'm still on my first game, and haven't yet seen the civ phase or the space phase, here I am buying the blasted expansion pack! Yes, it's all installed now and ready to go, and yes I will be getting around to it sooner or later, maybe... <br /><br />But honestly I still feel like I'm neglecting The Sims 3, which I also happen to love - and, really, that game should come first.<br /><br />My second favorite game from last year was Far Cry 2, and - hooray! - I've just managed to unlock the second part of the world-map, Bowa-Seko, which means that I'm halfway through the game!<br /><br />In GTA 4, which is a mind blowing game on the PC (so much better than the 360 version), I've just unlocked Algonquin Island, meaning I'm two-thirds of the way through.<br /><br />In F.E.A.R. 2 I've just arrived at Wade Elementary, and a quick look at a walkthrough informs me that I'm only halfway through the game when I thought I was almost done... how can that be?<br /><br />I bought Battlestations Pacific on the strength of the awesome demo, and have managed to complete the tutorial - which was an incredibly rewarding experience.<br /><br />I've actually learned the controls for Quantum of Solace and for Prince of Persia - and I might even start to play those games one day.<br /><br />I'm exactly halfway through Stalker, and Stalker Clear Sky, and also Rainbow Six Vegas, and Vegas 2. <br /><br />I'm about a quarter of the way through COD 4 and COD 5.<br /><br />Empire Total War is maybe one of the greatest games I've ever owned but haven't played - for the life of me, I can't get through more than 3 turns in this game. It's a damned amazing game though, and I'd have to say that its a showcase product for my new computer. Those battle sequences are to die for! <br /><br />I'm also the biggest Neverwinter Nights 2 fan that you'll ever meet - and one day, I WILL finish the campaign. <br /><br />The one game that I did managed to complete was Fallout 3, and it happened so quickly that I almost didn't even notice it. The main-quest in Fallout 3 is ridiculously short, and it boggles my mind how anybody couldn't complete it. <br /><br />Fallout 3 is actually the only game I've completed in maybe 20 years - and man did I ever feel cheated by it. Too short!<br /><br />Anyhow, I've made a promise to myself that this year, I will complete Dragon Age. <br /><br />Dragon Age is the reason I bought my new computer to begin with, and I WILL complete it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446932103172180245.post-15849488971068487742009-08-09T07:14:13.143-07:002009-08-09T07:14:13.143-07:00Let's see.

For intance, I hadn't played Mass Effect in over a year, and in the last week I started it again. I also stopped playing Fallout 3 due to some game bugs that seem to have been worked out. But I've decided not to start it again until I get a copy of broken steel because I don't want to be killing stuff and not getting any experience for it.<br />Of course there are always things that sit on your hard drive for years, and you just don't get back to them.
