Isn't it so sad when your favorite video game ends?

I mean sure, that's what we wanted to do in the first place, end the game, but it's just really weird when it does happen.
It recently happened with me and my bro-in-law. Well we were playing God of War 2 for the ps2, and it was so much fun, we'd take turns playing since we only had one copy, and that was like our "quality time", and it was such an awesome game, that we wanted to keep playing and not let it end. But it did end, and much too soon for us. No worries, because we got God of War 1, we hadn't played that one, and that was even better than the second one, so we were happy again. But then that too, had to come to an end. And we weren't expecting the end to be that soon, well, after the last movie had played and we were sure that the game had ended, we just sat there in silence, not knowing what to do. What can we do? The game has ended, we could play it again with a different difficulty, but it's just not the same, you know what's going to happen. The others made fun of us, because they said, now we don't know what to do, ha ha.
Of course, after God of War, no games look that good, I did play Tomb Raider: anniversary and just finished it yesterday, I played that alone, my bro doesn't like that one. But now there's no games left to play, none that are good are out anyway, and the ones that are out, are out on the new consoles, which I don't have.
Ah, well, I'll get them soon. For now, I could just go back to the racing games, like need for speed, or midnight club or SSX, those are always fun and always there when nothing else is around.

I have never completed a game in my life even though I love playing video game so much. I tend to switch from game to game. But I still understand how it feels when your game ends. It's like it takes a while to find another good game to indulge yourself in it and sometimes not every game is good. I am playing Zelda on NDS now and I find it really cute and find at the same time. Sometimes it's too difficult to get to the next stage and I have to read the walkthrough. Still, I don't want to end it somehow, because I don't think there is one NDS game which is as good and as interesting as Zelda.

Funnily enough I've never played Zelda. I guess it wasn't that popular on other consoles as it was on Nintendo. Hopefully I can give it a try if and when I get a Nintendo wii. That would be nice. Well most people play games just because they love playing it. I do to. It's just that I love finishing them too.

Oh you are going to get a Nintendo Wii! That is really cool, I only hear good comments so far on Nintendo Wii and I hope one day I could get one for my own too! I like the concept of moving around while playing game! Yes I am sure they will have Zelda in Wii, it's a classic game in Nintendo and therefore they don't have the game for other consoles.

Yes I totally agree with you. I am totally into video games. I remember when i played Diablo (long long time ago), it was soo hard, i could not end the final level, i tried for days and was really angry because of it... and then i finished it... a moment of joy!!! but what to do now... my favorite game has ended, i was feeling so empty lol :D... nowadays i do not have this kind of problems. i mostly play strategy games and when i finish the campaign scenario i can always play multilayer game with my friends and this always brings out new thrills.

What really sucks is when it ends and the end movie or whatever is lame. I recall having a great time with the original Tomb Raider game and then got to the end and....nothing.

I hate playing games that the creators decide to pack in.
Example would be the USM series. Ultimate Soccer Manager was the best management sim, yet didn't have the budget to promote it but they seem to not want to bring it back. (even though it has a die hard fan base)
I don't really like finishing actual games because I like to continue. :(

It is indeed. I am not that much of a 'gamer' but when Railroad Tycoon came out we played the darn thing till what time in the mornings. Then they discontinued the game and for years you couldn't get hold of it. Luckily it is available again on open source.

Yeah, very sad indeed :) I've played Kingdom Hearts 2 at legend mode every day untill now, I used to be stuck at last boss but today i finished him. I regret it ^^. The ending scene is so cool and beautiful and it makes me go around all day saying "Weesch, I wish KH3 comes out soon..."
So now i dont know what to do, hmm...i could always play it one more time ! :)
Conclusion; We (all gamers) play a game and when we get stuck, we get really pissed of and wish that we ever could beat the damn game, but when we have...we cry

Yeah, you got that right, a little dramatical, but right. I seem to get less and less stuck these days, which makes finishing the game even faster. I guess it's because I've played so many games now and sequels and stuff have the same control and gameplay so it's easy to grasp. Plus after finishing God of War, every game seems to be easy.

I'm not very good at video games, so I've never gotten to where a game ended. I don't even know what that feels like. I play a lot of them with my son, but he is so good at them I always get frustrated. We play Nascar on PS2 a lot, and he wins every race. The only time he doesn't win is if I wreck him while he's trying to pass me. I can qualify for 1st starting position. He doesn't qualify at all so he is starting in the back for more of a challenge, but he still beats me. FRUSTRATING! Oh well. I'm glad my livelihood doesn't depend on my skill at video games.

Ha ha, yeah. Well, let me tell you how it feels to beat a really nice, challenging video game. It's a bitter-sweet feeling, Sweet because you know you beat it and that's always a good feeling, and sort of bitter, because your relationship with that game is pretty much over. I mean, sure you can play it again but it just isn't the same.

I've never been much of a video game kind of girl. The only video game system I've ever owned was an Atari back in the day and I still have my old school Nintendo NES. My brother had a sega, which is actually at my house. He also had a playstation...the original. I was never very good at it. Once they moved up in the quality of games, the worse I ever got. so If I can ever actually BEAT a game I'm so freaking proud of myself because I suck at video games.

once a time i'm swallowed in vedeo games,but now i know i have many things more important to do.so i haven't played it for a long time.i think you shouldn't addict to it.just play it when you have time,playing games is just a way to relax yourself
