So I guess I have a games owned to games beaten ratio of like 5-2... How badly far behind are you guys?

Also, I only really kept track of games I beat last year (and this year) in the CAG completed games tab. Looks like about half of that list is stuff I beat last year...

I think im much worse... I'm guessing about 10-1

Most of this is with Dreamcast... Of the 47 games I have, I have only finished 2.

It's too bad you're not selling your Pokemon Red game. I really want it.

Says who?

[Ragnarok2103]

im probably the worst of anyone.  i think i've probably beaten maybe 100 out of around 900. of course, thats only the last time i counted, so i could be way off.

If those are all legally owned games then jeez you need to sell/beat some games.

yeah, but i dont sell games. i never have, and i dont plan on ever doing it. a lot of them i own more for collecting than to actually play.  plus, i'm still hoping that some day i'll make an insane amount of money, and then never have to work anymore, and just play games for the rest of my life. and if i really felt like it i could get through most of them within probably less than a year. but i'd have to really want to. and yes, those are all legally owned games. i ebay for most of them.  if you have the time to devote to finding cheap games on ebay you can get a lot. i got gears of war and like 8 other 360 games for about 40 bucks, which is how much gears would cost on its own. 

[Hero's Shade]

I wish I could buy stuff on eBay, but i can't, so I'm forced to look around in the game stores and hope that have it. I thought i saw it once in a Gamestop store I was in, but I didn't think about getting it. Now I wish I had.

I think he means he wants to hear what you're willing to pay. Then he will say "No, no way. It's worth much more than that". Then you bid more and he is still pretends to be dismissive cause he wants to squeeze you some more. This is the time when you get annoyed and all like "Are you serious? You're just trying to rip me off". Then the arguement goes back and forth for a while until you two agree on the price you originally offered

[Hero's Shade]

Oh, I see. Well, I don't play that way. I say, if you're not willing to pay the original price, then don't ask. OF course, In this case, I'd pay anything to have that game, but not so much that I feel like I'm being ripped off.

[shenske]

if interested i have two copys of Pokemon Red (japanese or american).
i'd be willing to let one go, just to let you know.


back on topic .....

i think my ratio sadly of owned to beaten games is ~ 20-1.
it deffinately didn't help when i bought 60+ dreamcast games for $20, no covers though.
there were way too many great deals to pass up over the past year and i've had no time to catch up.

i can't pass up a good bargain.

[tiktektak]

Hmmm..... I have 808 games at the moment(never thought I have THAT much allready)....

Finished are around 10%..... The problem is that I simply don'T have the time to play them all and I'm a little bit like ragnarok.... I love collecting and plan on playing much in my retirement.... I would never sell any of my games besides those that I have doubles of....

I have no idea what it is worth... IIRC GameStop sells it for like $10-$15
I just looked around for it and couldn't find it. I know I have it, but I can't find it on a very cluttered shelf. Maybe one day I'll case my GB games. If you want it, PM me and we'll do it that way.

[Hero's Shade]

I would if I could, but I'm afraid of what my mom will say when she sees me getting stuff from people she doesn't know. If you can hold on to it until I manage to start living on my own (whenever that will be, if ever), that would be great.
