Sorry if this is too much like the "recently finished" thread, if so just merge it, mods

Anyhow, I have several games I am close to finishing or maybe just started, and more to buy on the horizon. So which ones should I finish first? Like which ones would have the best endings, or rewards from completeting them? Also which game(s) will I finish then pretty much not pick up again?
Here is the list, with the % I am done with the main story. This doesn't include side quests.


1. GTA: SA (about 85% done with)
2. Star Ocean: Til the End of Time (about 75%)
3. MGS Snake Eater (about 25-30%)
4. KOTOR II (about 90%)
5. Tales of Symphonia (aout 10%)
6. Eternal Darkness (about 10%)
7. Prince of Persia (about 35%)
8. Prince of Persia The Warrior Within (0% since i have yet to play it)
9. Def Jam Fight for NY (about 60%)
10. NFL Street 2 (about 30%)

kotor 2 - since you're so close... it will at least let you knock one off the list.

Then go for Eternal Darkness.

1. MGS Snake Eater - This is an easy game that you can blow thru if you sit down and just play. It shouldn't be too much of a problem to beat it over a weekend.
2. KOTOR II - Great game, you're almost done
3. GTA: SA - Again, you're just about done
4. Prince of Persia - This is one of my favorite games, and since you have the sequel, you might as well beat this one sooner rather than later.
5. Star Ocean: Til the End of Time - Again you're pretty close on this one.
6. Prince of Persia The Warrior Within - Now that you've beaten the first one and taken a break from the original its time to control the prince again
7. Eternal Darkness - Liver&Onions likes it, so play it.
8. Def Jam Fight for NY - This is an easy pick-up-and-play title to finish off.
9. Tales of Symphonia - Invest some time into this one.
10. NFL Street 2 - Another nice pick-up-and-play title to break up the lengthy RPG.

I hope this was helpful to you.

I'll only comment on the ones I've actually beaten. Like you, I tend to play games a good deal of the way through and then never touch them again. Eternal Darkness, Prince of Persia... I should really get back to these some day, before I completely forget the plot.

You probably won't feel a great desire to replay KOTOR II, although I enjoyed it immensely the first time around.

I think Tales of Symphonia is the longest RPG I've every played. It leeched away 70 hours of my life (even Skies of Arcadia, at 60 hours, can't match that). Most gamers will beat it in 50, but I'm one of those who has to do all the sidequests (the costumes, rebuilding Luin, defeating Abyssion, the Elite, Seles, the other Tales group, Maxwell, etc., etc., etc.) and that requires a bit of powerleveling and money collection. But it's a game that has replay value since it has a new game mode that allows you to use your grade to carry over things into a new game (titles, gald, and so on) as well as grant bonuses like 2x experience and 10x experience.

By the way, if there's one sidequest you should do, it's the Devil Arms sidequest. After collecting all 9 Devil Arm weapons, you must fight an insanely powerful boss (Abyssion, 120,000 HP at normal). If you beat him, the (evil) weapons become infused with the power of all the kills you've made over the course of the game. Lloyd was dealing 1500-2500 damage per hit afterward.

I played MGS3 first because I love it so damn much. I beat it in 3 days on the Thanksgiving weekend. Then after school ended for winter break, I jumped on GTA: San Andreas. Took me about two weeks, but I finished it at 74%, I don't care much about collecting all the little stuff, but I may come back to it. Now I'm trying to finish Metroid Prime 2 quickly before school starts again. I'm about 60% through.

Finish the ones you are close to the end, and so on. It is easiest that way IMO.

KOTOR II, since you're close. Then Eternal Darkness as it's a fantastic and under-appreciated game.

Lucky you're not playing Final Fantasy, that takes ages to complete.

First of all, I don't see how you could play all these games and not lose interest in one or two...maybe even three.
When I do this, I usually get caught-up with one (the one with the most intriguing story of course) and finish through until I beat it, completely forgetting and losing interest in any of the others. I then find it difficult to "get back" into those other games.
But since this is your playing style then more power to you.

My suggestion is what others have already posted:
Finish the games you are closest to beating and begin knocking one down after the other until you've completed them all.

Enjoy them! Those are all fun games on your list.
