Sorry to have caused a rules crisis so early in the year. Ha.

This brings up another question. Do we count games that you never really roll credits on? I’m thinking of strategy games like Crusader Kings or Age of Wonders. I’m not sure those games are ever really ā€œfinishedā€ so have no idea how they apply to a competition like this.

Is there no Campaign storyline for those at all? Like in fighting games genre, I’d probably classify a game as ā€œfinishedā€ if you climbed the ladder and fought the final big bad with a single character. No need to do it for all characters. After all, this isn’t an achievement completionist challenge where you have to get 1000 gamerscore.

I’m sure there are for some of them - but honestly not sure. I was just going through my Steam backlog. It is filled up with strategy games that I bought on deep sales under the ā€œone of these daysā€ theory. Most of them I’ve never even started. Ha.

Finished Nexomon last night, but made sure to finish the post game story too this morning. Just doesn’t seem right to not see it all the way through. Haha

I don’t really have a backlog. If gamepass counts then i have the biggest backlog ever. I never buy a game unless i plan to play it soon after.

Lol I’ll probably be slowing down soon. I’ve run out of my podcast/watch anime while playing games.:joy:

Okay, please try to pace yourself since I’m the only score keeper and going fast and posting a tons of games at once is only going to make it so that something is missed.

I’ve missed posts in the past when it was only 4 people doing about a game every two weeks.

There we go! First backlog game this year finished: Crysis.

Buggy checkpoints and meh controls/gunplay kinda ruined an otherwise decent game. But it’s old af so kinda expected, gotta love BC though.

Edit: FFS Prog got himself banned again. Ah well, I’ll keep the score til he comes back.

Wait WTF, when did that happen?!? At least it’s only a week this time.

Prog is on a one-week vacation so I’ll keep the score in the meantime.

@Mort - I had a suggestion for when Prog gets back from his vacation. Instead of updating the topic with a new post of everyone’s record, the opening post just gets edited to reflect what it should be. Thoughts?

Sounds good I suppose, we’ll see what Prog thinks when hes rested up, hah.

@DeoGame and I finished the Sea of Thieves POTC expansion tonight. Technically I own the game, so I get .5? How does something like Sea of Thieves, which doesn’t even have a traditional campaign, even work in this contest?

2 Likes

Nah, it’s a free expansion so no points methinks. It’s supposed to be things we bought but lets see what others say, and Prog when he returns.

Neverending stuff like MP is not really possible to finish, unless there is a campaign so not really a thing for SoT. If there is a campaign like say the ones in Battlefield 1 or random CoD those would count though.
