Re: To "Beat" a game

I once new a guy who felt he was beating the developers when he completed a game. He also said that he liked finishing a game as quickly as possible to really show up the developers. He was a bit of a tool. That probably when I first really noticed the experession.

Oh, also, you need much cooler friends...this guy sounds like a tool

If you complete Silver Sufer for the original NES then you've beat the living daylights out of that game.

Re: To "Beat" a game

I use the word beat. Not as an a-hole, but in general. But it's different things. I consider my two greatest gaming achivements to be:

"Beating" the original Halo on Legednary on my own.

"Finishing" a Milwaukee Brewers season in my dynasty in MVP 05 or 06 (whatever was last) at a .500 record. It may not sound like much, but it was the first baseball game in which I fully completed a season without simming it all (I simmed every other game in this one) and that team couldn't hit and had no bullpen.

well when i was 10 years old and I beat mike tyson for the first time (after about 600 attempts" I beat the game. thinking about this also makes me realize i havent really been challenged on that level in quite a while by a game

Games aren't as difficult as they were in the past.

The creation of the save feature and lack of platforming has pretty much been the reason for this.
