Games NOT Beaten 2017

The back half of the game is backtracking through the entire thing again with the second character.

This is one of the very worst ways of inducing artificial longevity. I stopped playing Folktale on PS3 earlier this year because of a situation like this.

I would also argue that arbitrary difficulty spikes in RPGs to force hours of grinding is the second worst way to artificially lengthen a game.

I vote for this as #1. At least with backtracking/replaying levels you are only doing it once and things are usually somewhat different, instead of fighting the same poison slime beasts 400 times.

Also, Steve is the man.

I decided to play through Sonic Adventure with all the characters. Finished the story for Tails, Amy and Knuckles and started on Big. Decided I wasn’t going to play through with all the characters after all.
