A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

For me:

Breath of the Wild: 400 hours in, have done only 50% of the game. But now that TotK is out, I'm not sure if I'll ever complete BotW. Perhaps if I'm stuck on a deserted island with my Switch and have nothing better to do, I may pick it up again.
Skyrim: Countless hours, never really done much of the main storyline, always get lost in modding and optimising the game. Own it on practically all platforms too. But one of these days, I'll get to the main quest...
Dangerous Dave: Been playing this DOS game on and off since 1990 but still haven't managed to beat it. I always die around level 6/7, blasted sun keeps killing me.

              X-COM: UFO Defense: My current run of this I'm finally in the end game. Been playing on and off for about 15 years now and this recent playthrough is the furthest I've ever gotten.
Factorio: Well this one no longer counts because I did 'beat' it just a few days ago. I've had a thousand hours in the last 6.5 years of playtime and only got around to launching a rocket earlier this week.
Morrowind: This one is also historical but in high school I played this one a LOT before even starting the main quest. I was just so captured by the world (still am, play it to this day). It took me hundreds of hours over several playthroughs before I finally had a run where I was like 'okay fine I'll do the main quest'.
Baldur's Gate: I actually have a lot of regret over this one but I'm working to remedy it now. When I was younger I played this for an obsessive amount of time, I got a character up to the final battle, but I couldn't pull it off. Then I went to college, the game was forgotten about, and I'm only in the last couple years firing up another run to hopefully complete it. I'd estimate with past and current time about 300hr of playtime.
Terraria (kinda): I've definitely defeated the final boss in Terraria, back when that was Wall of Flesh. And I've defeated more 'final' bosses since then. The most current final boss, Moon Lord, remains undefeated though.

How many final bosses have come in since wall of flesh?

[–] Schlock@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

At least 5-11 depending on how you count them. But some of them were added at the same time so idk.

Oh man, that sounds worth a revisit

[–] Schlock@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

That does not even include new optional bosses...
