What game gave you the most pride/satisfaction when completing it??

Bubba

Just wondering, after completing a game that took you weeks or months to complete. How did it make you feel and what games were they?

Crucifix

Link's Awakening. That game was my Everest.

cregser

Goldeneye. I just loved that game.

Ri_Nollaig

got a nice feeling of satisfaction after conquering the whole map in Rome - Total War on the hardest difficultly as the Gauls

KdjaCL

Zelda OOT final stab threw gamepad on floor(broke it ) but sat back and smiled

GTASA half way tru last mission copped it was the last mission broke my heart

Probably beating Metroid Prime 2, it was at the end of a 7 hour session (playing through from just after Quadraxis to the end), and my hands were starting to really cramp up on the controller.

uberpixie

Mega Man 4 on the gameboy because it was tough and took me so long to beat.

R0ot

Command and Conquer, first strategy game i ever played, first pc game too, loved it, LANS were fun too. Or finishing Halo on Legendary for the first time, the satisfaction when you leaped outta the warthog at the end and made the run for the ship, then the secret vidoe at the end with sarge and the elite hugging.

evad_lhorg

hmmm probably the original legend of zelda on the nes cause it was rock hard and i was like 7 when i finished it.

its weird. no matter what game it is, when i get towards the end i tend to stop playin it. i did it in zelda OoT after you beat ganondorf and i got scared off by ganon(i really didnt want this game to end tbh). i also did it in metroid prime. i beat meta ridley and didnt see the save point afterwards and fought prime with shag all health then i didtn go back for about 3 weeks./

id say when i get around to finishing final fanasy 7 it will be up there. ive already played a ridiculous length/

Pyr0

I'd say finishing Quake3 on nightmare when I was 12, god was I happy.

Patricide

final fantasy 8, i kept on haveing to restart the thing for various reasons like one time i just got on to the final boss and my playstation got robbed with my memory card inside so when i finally finished it last year i just broke down and cryed sweet tears of joy.

Myth on the C64 was one that made me very happy when I finally managed to complete it. Very hard game.

RPGs usually give the greatest satisfaction on completion.

Skies of Arcadia was a good one... but there was alot of relief in there too as there aren't any save points anywhere near the end of the game.. so getting killed by the final boss would mean alot of backtracking.

Grandia 2 on the Dreamcast was another good one... as it took absolutely ages to complete.

Oh... and of course Chronotrigger... that's probably one of my favourite games of all time... and finally defeating Lavos at the end was immensely satisfying.

Another that I would have to add to the list is Loom on the Amiga.. there was just something so sad and touching about the ending that I've never quite felt in any other game.

In online games the ability to trash talk your victims is very satisfying.


Ceasar3 is very satisying when a city is just right .

RobertFoster

Possibly ICO. Mmm, watermellon.

Broken Sword too.

And also Super Mario Lost Levels on the SNES.

thelordofcheese

Sonic 2 as it was the first game i cleared.

Others include Links awakening, Viewtiful Joe, NiGHTS, Starcraft and Halflife.

finishing Alpha Centauri for the first time was also a bit of and experiance.

Retr0gamer

Ghouls n' Ghosts with just one credit on hard mode. Unbelievably tough game.

Also Megaman 2 gave me a lot of satisfaction. Hard as nails as well.

Beating Zelda Oracle of Seasons and Ages. Both those games were long enough on their own.

However it's probably RPG's that give the most satisfaction.

I remember Shining Force 2 taking forever to beat and it was great beating it.

Suikoden 2 was almost 70 hours long for me but the ending was well worth it.

Final Fantasy VII was just amazing from start to finish. I never wanted it to end.

The top one for me was Final Fantasy Tactics (the playstation game not the painfully average GBA game). It was probably the hardest game I've ever played and required a lot of levelling up. Some stages had me stuck for weeks and others were just silly tough (I needed a walkthrough for the fight with the 3 ninjas on the roof. It's impossible without one). The ending was fantastic as well.

Ishmael

Have a few games that i felt that happy happy joy joy feeling when i finished.

FF7, Zelda OOT, and metal gear solid 1 for the first time.

If i ever manage to clear R-type delta, i'll probably wet myself.
Damn level 6.

Best feeling was when i cleared max payne 1 in new york minute mode.

Mr E

Monkey Island 2 (PC) - favourite adventure of all time.
Ultima Underworld (PC) - Played on a 386, and loved every minute of it.
Zelda LTTP (SNES) - Played it as often as possible, and the only game I've finished 5 times.

It's one of the easier shmups I played. If you want any respect from me beat the original and its sequel. Only got to the last stage of both those games.

Drapper

The orginal COD

:eek: :eek: Heh, I thought i was doing well to get that far....Ah well, more hours of swearing at that stupid little ball and throwing game controllers around so.
:mad: :mad:

benkenobi

residental evil 3 on the ps2 including all the extra mercinaires games
and star wars knights of the old republic as the dark side

Berger

It's gotta be Halflife 1. The game took me and my friend about a year to complete in all because we kept getting stuck at places and just couldnt get passed them. It was so cool though when we finished. Best feeling ever!

RE*AC*TOR

Ocarina of Time and Far Cry.

toiletduck

Eternal Darkness
MGS (1)
HALO

Medal Of Honor (1) (PS2)

Monkey Island on the Amiga. One of my favourite games of all time, I loved it, and some of the puzzles would wreck my head for a couple of days at a time. I just loved the whole game, and when I finished it, there was a message saying "Congratulations... now turn off the computer and go to bed.". The funny thing was, I was up really late that night playing it!

Actually, Links Awakening too. It was very long!
