BoB's Top 100 Games

[TrollHunter]

But yeah, inFamous was alright. It was nice to have a sandboxy type game and a superhero type game that wasn't same-same - just sucks that Prototype was probably the better of the two released at the same time.

As a man who invested a ton of time into prototype I have to disagree with you here.
Prototypes story was terrible, the missions were samey as hell, the characters are more forgettable than those in commercials, and the graphics werent even that good either. Not to mention the stupid as hell difficulty spike after you got your powers back, which made the entire story mode lose all enjoyment for me.
The game is hilariously stupid fun though, I will give you that.
It's very easy to kill so much time with that game, and it's ridiculous enough to make your imagination work to think up the next stupid thing to do.
I loved prototype, but by god was it not really that good of a game.

I have never finished all the achievements on a single game. Ever.

Gods, I hope that's true for most of us. Why spend all that time on one game when you can go play another game?

Only if I was in a position where it was not possible for me to play another game for the foreseeable future would I try to get Platinum on a game.

[NeoCracker]

I've platinumed Borderlands, Sly Cooper, and Dragon Age.

Only reason Dragon Age is Platinum'd though is my brother played on my account for a bit before finally making himself one. ;p

My wife has every achievement in Plants vs Zombies (which I assume is somewhere in the top 50 on this list, as it is otherwise rendered invalid).

It's incredibly easy to Platinum Tekken 6 though, so I think it's really based on the game.

Achievements are overrated. A nice bonus, but not anything that I go chasing.

Yeah, a lot of games don't take "all that time" anyway, especially if it's a game love playing the crap out of.

I think Del has platinum-envy!

I can't afford to buy as many games as you, I guess. There are a lot of games I would buy if I got the chance. The main reason I platinum a game, though, is because I enjoy the game a lot and feel the achievements will give me something to do to extend the gameplay time. It's just like completing any random mission in a game - you get given a goal/challenge and you do what you need to do in order to reach that goal or complete that challenge. I tend to finish a game, then look at the trophies/achievements I've not yet got and consider whether or not I feel they will be worth it.

For games like Uncharted 2 and Far Cry 3, trophies are what encouraged me to try out parts of the games that I would not have otherwise (ie, multiplayer) and I ended up having loads of fun with them.

[Del Murder]

I don't buy that many games, maybe 3 a year? I get them mostly as gifts or trades with other people.

[Loony BoB]

In that case, you probably just don't play games nearly as often as I do. xD There are few occasions I go "Oh, I'll not have the time to be able to Platinum this game I love because there's another game coming out in four months."

I very rarely get gifted games.

[Del Murder]

I'd get you a game as a wedding gift, but I was never invited. :foot:

[Loony BoB]

You were too! x(

[Shauna]

SO mean, not inviting people. :3

But, I will probably never play inFamous. I hated Prototype with all my being (slight exaggeration) and since neither of them seem to be heralded as a "better" game... it's just not something I can do. xD

[Bolivar]

InFamous is the better game

63. Burnout Paradise
PS3, 2008

The second consecutive 2008 PS3 game I got for free because of the PSN hacking debacle! Thanks, hackers! I profited from your antics and have yet to suffer from any fraudulent purchases made using my stored debit card information.

This is the best 'traffic racer' bar none for me. From the moment I went to select the game and Paradise City started playing, I was loving it. The introduction video, the free roaming, the excellent variation in roads to drive on, the epic crashes, the various race options, the licence system... oh man. This was excellence in racing for me. Danielle really loved it, too, and that's saying something for a racing game. The soundtrack was so good I downloaded it. My favourite races were the ones in which you total your opponents, but even slipping through traffic in a one-on-one race was great. Picking a different track than your opponent and still coming out ahead? Awesome. But taking the same track and being side-by-side and forcing your opponent to go head-first into traffic? Oh, hell yes.

Basically I enjoyed pretty much everything about this game despite not expecting much of it (hey, I did get it for free, after all). Racing games aren't generally considered amazing for me... this one was.
