Hey Guys, I was just wondering... Do you guys ever feel bad after beating a game? Let me extrapolate... I just finished Battlefield: Bad Company. And i was devastated because i really liked the characters and after i beat the game, I knew i would never get to see or play those characters ever again (unless i played through the game a couple more times... But what's the point if you know the story). And i am pissed off that i will finish Uncharted: Drake's Fortune soon... So tell me guys. Have you ever felt bad or sad about beating a game?
Yea I feel you on that... That is the one reason I like games with good/great stories. I mean sure people say its just a game and get a real life and all that... but truth be told I have a pretty great life, and I have a pretty good social life, but when life gets tough and I need to escape from life's challeges for a little while I love to put myself in charactars shoes from games... like Metal Gear, Devil May Cry, uncharted, onimusha, sam fisher, I mean it is like reading a book and going to a whole new world.
I feel bad when I complete the game, but I get more upset cause I have to wait for a sequel.... Well if it ever comes out
i kinda know what you mean , i feel that way sometimes. ESPECIALLY with ratchet and clank *spoilers* and after you beat it , u do challenge mode , do it all again to further upgrade your things..then when your done with that , done all the missions , all the skillpoints . Theres no point in playing it further. Though lucky for you , Battlefield bad company has multiplayer.
Definitely. Honestly, the joy I felt while playing MGS4 was kind of crushed by the fact I knew it was *most likely* the last time I was going to see Solid Snake. Same goes for Valkyria Chronicles, which is made worse by the fact that we in the U.S. will probably never get the sequel, if ones even made.
Very often when you finish anything, be it a game or whatever the task at hand may be, you're bound to be let down. the feeling that you have succeeded is just not there. That is because success is in the striving, the real payoff is the work you put into your task at the time you're doing it.
Yeah I hate that feeling, but I don't hate it as much as beating a game and then feeling empty and asking yourself "is that it?" because of how lifeless the characters and story were.
sometimes. i mean if i know there is a sequel then i won't feel bad. the only game i can really say i felt pretty bad at the end of was cod4 & mgs4. in cod4 all your friends die in front of you and it was disappointing.(****SPOILER****) and in mgs4 snake is suicidal at the end but his dad comes to his rescue.(****SPOILER****)
i will admit though in just about any survival horror such as dead space, you will feel so releaved getting off that damned ship. then you go to the planet below the ship which was pretty dumb. i would've jus left that ship the second i had the chance. i guess i would feel bad if isaac didn't survive...or did he?
I was reilly disappointed with gears of war 2...... i wasnt expecting the end of the game, i was shoting that **** when i realice i had finish the game.... and i was like," O MY GOD IS THAT IT" thats when i realise Gears wasnt that good....
No. I always play games multiple times and have been ever since I started gaming. Never saw the point in paying full price for a game to only play it once. Just because you know the story doesn't mean you can't play it again for the gameplay or maybe to catch more than what you did the first time through. Kind of like reading a book. Pretty hard to get all the details by only reading the book one time. Oh well. That's just me.
OMG yes i get that all the time, i thought i was just weird. I always feel like i have connection with the characters at times. Then i get so disappointed having to say good bye to them.
Sorry. Negative points for me. I just read the topic. Well let's see. I know I felt that way with Final Fantasy VII. But as far as PS3 games go... I guess I can't think of any. Maybe because a lot of newer games have some sort of multi-player which allow more replay. But the closest thing I can think of recently was Dead Space. Even then I kind of felt relief at the same time though...
Some games are so good you want them to go on forever its a shame to have to finish them at some point. Off the top of my head I would say it was a shame to finish Ocarina of Time, The Twin Snakes, Sands of Time, Mario Galaxy, Call of Duty 4 I wished that the games would just keep going.
Ya, One of the hardest games for me to get over was Star Ocean: Till The End of Time. When i beat it i was just like "NOOOOO!!!!! I NEED MORE STAR OCEAN!!!" And they are releasing all the sequels on consoles i don't have so i will never get to play another Star Ocean game until they bring it to the PS3

I can compare to you and can agree to almost everythin u said - I have a pretty solid social life, and sometimes, for fun, or for escape, I like getting sucked into a world of a videogame. What i do NOT agree with is feeling bad after completing a game...the emotions that i do feel after completing a game are sad (if the story of a game ended bitter-sweet or tragically), or rewarded/accomplished, or both. I don't ever feel "bad" or "sorry" after finishing a game.
yeah, it happens everytime you have a game that you really like... mixed emotions actually... you're glad you beat the game, sad at the same time coz it's done...
yeah i feel like that all the time. i'm not sure what the exact sentiment behind it is, but i just don't like when games end. i'd say about 95% of the time, i'll complete all of my games right down the the very last boss or the last mission or whatever, and i just won't finish it.

Not really. I did feel bad at the end of CoD 4 and Republic Commando, but not for finishing the games, more due to how they ended. But I generally just feel accomplished.

ya i felt kinda sad when i finished fallout 3 because you cant continue the story when the main game is over and i also didnt save before the last mission so i have to start all over again :(
Nah, not at all. I always have a satisfied feeling after the game. Whether I really enjoyed playing the game or absolutely hated it, either way I will find it satisfying that I was able to beat the game.
I was disappointed after finishing fallout 3. *SPOILER* The fact that you can't continue with your character after "winning" severely dampered my enthusiasm for any replay. Hell my guy wasn't even level 20 before I unwittingly stumbled upon the end...luckily I have a previous save so I can roam around a bit before hitting the end if I so choose. But still, the ending pretty much sucked.
I know what you mean, I've wanted some games to keep going and going... either because the story has dragged me in or due to the action being so addictive. It's like that with a lot of things; e.g. books and films. You're satisfied with the achievement, but you can sometimes feel sad due to that being the end of the story (or the prospect of waiting a year or so to continue with it).
God of War II finished on a bit of a cliff hanger and we've already waited nearly 2 years for that to be concluded :(
Yes sometimes I do. I feel bad if I am able to finish a game in one day. Blacksite Area 51 was one game I completed in one sitting. But I only paid 19.99 for it at Wallmart. So It wasn't a total loss. A games should take three days to complete I guess?

Very rarely do I come across a game I care so much about, like FFX or Uncharted. I get pissed when the game is too short, like Star Wars Force Unleashed or Mirror's Edge.
Only with FF games and both Kingdom Hearts 1/2. Bioshock kinda got to me. It had an endearing ending for sure, but I just felt like I wasn't ready to finish it :(
The only game i ever felt bad at all during was gta4 and it was for selfish reasons mostly. I felt bad i killed Dwayne.....legitimately bad. I went around his apartment afterwards and saw all the letter and newspaper clippings and writing and felt horrible. And to make it worse..i forgot the guys name but he made me feel worse by telling me he cant associate with niko anymore. it kinda annoyed me i couldn't kill him and i lost out on having a gang and the retro gta outfit. And when roman died. I only felt bad because i couldn't use his taxi service. it kinda ruined the game for me.
