For the Love of the Game

GrE writes, "There are games out there that just aren't possible to finish or "beat." There are games out there that you never WANT to finish. Then there are the games that you play over and over again, never getting any further than the play before, and for no reason.

First, games like Tetris, Lumines, and puzzle games of the like aren't really games that you finish. These are games of dexterity and skill more than completion. You play these games to show your friends (and enemies) that you are better than them and can stay literally in the game longer than they can. It's hard to count out games like these simply because pretty much everyone and their Grandmother has played at least one session of Tetris at some point. However given their style of play these are more for one-upsmanship than anything else..."

Ah.. great games.. and no time to finish them.. I have SO many unfinished games at home, most of them I still WANT to go through

Neco5125405d ago

Yeah, I seem to find that I just keep buying more and more games and tend to forget about the older ones, even if they're good games.

CrAppleton5405d ago

Totally agree though.. there are games out there that you just DON'T want to finish

"If I really wanted to get frustrated by a guy that can see me from 2 miles away and pop a shot in my ear canal from the same distance, I would join the real Army."

SO TRUE!!!!

Everyone is a sucker for a good Zelda story.

Unfinished games are a sign of the times. There's too much going on, too much that people try to take on.

bgrundman5405d ago

that, along with the fact that games are too long... I know that seems odd to complain about, but most are... I prefer the shorter experiences.

Jmlopezbr5405d ago

Really? I feel the opposite sometimes. Games have gotten shorter, except for the good ole RPG. I am still not complaining because I love a lot of games that only have about 8 hours of gameplay, but once I beat it, my interest in the game just shifts elsewhere. I find it hard to go back through a game I just beat. But this is of course my opinion.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
