Feel free to post here your epitaphs of favourite games you have finished and put away, perhaps even for good.
(Poetry is NOT a requirement).

-- The Flame in the Flood --

Riding an endless river, 250 miles now the feat,
Girl and dog continue on, 36 achievements complete.

Motoring down-river, on raft quality most fair,
Clad in warm furs, white wolf and black bear.

Provisioned with salted meats and clean water, all neatly stacked,
Armed with clever traps, bow and arrow, (fletched with crows feather in fact).

Onward to sunset and Great Sea, water lapping at the sidings,
You leave me with mixed feelings, bittersweet of these tidings.


Goodbye, dear Scout and Aesop. May you travel well to your journey's end.

-- Actraiser --

I know people say you were stiff and sometimes clumsy.
The way I see it, you were just a freshly emerged butterfly, stretching the wings of the SNES.

Simple music and sound; simple graphics and mechanics.
As it were, a complicated life wasn't your goal.

Six cities, four powers, one Master, thirteen bosses.
A numerical sequence that makes for a short, but delightful game.

Rest in the halls of history, having earned your stay in Valhalla, or perhaps Fólkvangr.

--HuniePop--


Wait. On second thought, bad idea. :P

Bump. Surely there are other members who wish to salute a favourite game they've finished with for good....

I think the lack of responses can be determined by this reading of the OP. I think you scared potential posters away with the implied commitment to never play the game again!




That, and people suck at writing poetry. But yours wasn't terrible, hence this OP also induce a fear of failure for all those potential game finishers who wouldn't be able to write a poem, as well.

Double Whammy. A casting failure of Horrid Wilting!

Favorite games aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare never put down,they are just stood in the corner for a while maybe three to six months and then ATTACK and try to play a different way.

Wait, I think the game is endless!

Spec Ops: The Line.

Under the cover of an average cover shooter, there is an really interesting way of commeting on how war is not a fun thing to do and that there are some choices that you have to make that effects the outcome or that there is always a choice that you have to make no matter the consquences. Basically the very opposite of Call of Duty does, which is make war seem like a fun thing to do. Kind of felt sad that there is not going to a sequel for this one.

On a brighter note, Psychonauts.

The reason for this one is that the platforming in this game is enjoyable and the art direction matches the story of the game. This is a game that does not takes itself sersously at all and it does it well to.
