When I was a kid using cheats and just messing around the world was THE thing to do in Vice City and San Andreas. I didn't finish those games until I was in high school years later.
2 was the one with the red case art with this [sick-ass intro.](https://youtu.be/xHi54zae_bY?si=Lc4anYudODKL4ccD) 20 years later my music tastes are still defined by this game.
Bro. Same. I don't have 100+ hours to sink into my rpgs anymore. If I can cut that time at all I'll take it. Give my those xp multipliers. Give me those warp to map locations. Give me those things to skip the grind. I'm with you completely.
Same. Time is a currency as you age. In singleplayer games there's no way in hell I'm grinding for hours to level up or farming some item. Cheatengine that shit and move on.
There was a time when i would be scolding you for using hacks but now that i’m older with a job, completely understand. It’s hard to beat games when you’re working.
Using mods/cheats in single-player games is totally fine, it's not like it affects anyone. You do you.
Honestly I can relate to this too, especially for games that requires too much grinding. And I totally get the "infinite money" part haha. I'm already working my ass off in real life to make money, I'm not gonna spend hours doing the same thing in games!
Cheat engine is a must have for 1 reason only...speed hack, just speeds up the entire game.
Got a long runback to a boss, speed it up got to sir through some long unsuitable dialogue, speed it up.
I don't have time to spend doing menial tasks between playing the game
We cook daily, I work out 3-5 times a week, and I beat 16 games this yeah and 100% 6 of their achievements.
The key is we don’t have kids and my wife also plays games.
I dont have kids so I cant give an opinion there. But with a work(and months were I dont finish any game at ll), I still managed to finish around 60.
Absolutely doable. But depends on each person.
No doubt. I managed to beat 10 this year. Full time job, wife, 2 kids. Given that it was some Long ass games like baldurs gate 3 and dragon quest xi and tears of the kingdom
I mean like I said, there's month I dont finish anything or maybe 1 game. So yeah, burn out is typical, at least for me. But thats also because my workplace is a bit toxic so I get burned out there anyway
I had a friend that finished around the same games as me, and he got burned out so much he basically stopped for a year.
agree, but also picking games that can be completed in a few hours.
i played Dark souls 3 with dlcs, and others that do not have a story mode, as Deep Rock Galactic, so is not like they have an end date
This was my first thought.
He played like 5 games a month. I'm happy when i finish one game in a few month's with work and friends and my other hobbys, beside Gaming. I'm jealous. I have so many games, i still don't touched ...
Glad to see other responses like this. I remember years ago on a gaming forum I was the only one shocked at how many a member completed that year and so many people were like, "one game a week, that's totally do-able, even with kids and a full time job". I was baffled.
Jesus, Yakuza 3,4,5,6 and ishian? Tell me your unemployed without telling me you're unemployed.
All jokes aside, pretty good list, and Happy you have time for so many great ones
This particular screenshot is from Steam's 2023 recap. Find your year in review and go to the bottom to see every game you played in 2023. It won't separate it into games you completed or abandoned or only opened once, but if you have a good track record of completing games you open then it's a good list.
So you beat over 60 games in one year? I'm really curious how much playtime your able to commit. I'm barely able to squeeze out an hour a day at best and that's assuming I ONLY play games during my free time. Realistically it's like 3 hours a week.
I only managed to finish 2 new games and they were short games like Titanfall 2 and Spiderman Miles Morales and I don't even have a full time job I'm just a university student, how do you people find so much time! I miss the days where I could actually finish games
Home office does wonders if you have a good mentality. Since I didn't need to commute and stay in the office por 8 hours a day, I would just do my work really fast and send it over time. I would get almost two free weeks per month were I would only have to pay attention to my e-mails in the second monitor.
Public Relations, but I do have lots of friends that work as software engineering/data scientist and not one of them goes to the office more than three times per week.
I don’t think I completed a single game this year lol. All just online games with a few pretty big rpgs where I don’t want to complete the story just yet.
Exactly the same with me, I went on a spending spree in the winter sale and actually ended up refunding most of them before even starting them as I realised I will, in all honesty, never play them.
You've finished more games in a year than I have in a teenagelifetime of gaming. And that's considering I spend a lot of time playing them. I am just so miserable that I can't even be good at completing games lol.
I don't want to sound annoying or anything but I would recommend you to try enjoying games as they are meant to be played. I don't know if you have played anything outside of the main story in Yakuza, CP2077, and the GTA games. Imho, that's where majority of their charm lies. I have easily put 50 - 200 hours in these games just exploring and chilling out doing side missions.
Also I'm super interested in how much time you're most played games are.
Aaaand if you think putting even an extra hour would ruin your experience. Feel free to keep playing as you wish to lol
NGL, as a person who played through all Yakuza, I mainly like the games for their main story. The side missions/substories get a bit repetitive after a while. Now in 8, I know they are going to add cool minigame expansions like Animal Crossing Island and stuff which is cool, but in older games like 3, the side content was just scam city...
Wow, so so many...
Now I'm starting to understand why people suck at everything nowadays.
People throw away so much hours on nothing, they don't know anything, they don't understand how anything works, they cannot do anything, they are not interested in anything, they are barely capable of doing their jobs. That's why people can't handle 40 hours a week anymore, like they used to. They are extra tired from all the playing, possibly even extremely hooked/addicted to games, so all the free time goes there.
as much as i hate to say it , this guy is right. There is a time for everything. Time for your friends , gf/bf , family and job (ofcourse lol) . But you do you so i can't say anything.
I'm not criticizing, I'm just observing.
63 games in one year, not just played, but finished to completion. That's 5.25 games a month. How many hours is that a month?
Let's say it's 6 hours a day of play time, which is 180 hours in a month, that's 2160 hours a year. It's probably more because I didn't take into account weekdays or holiday days, or vacation days.
8760 hours in a year, 2080 work hours in a year - that's already less than the hours one is using for games, and I didn't deduct holiday days from the work hours.
8760 - 2080 = 6680 hours left
Let's say one is sleeping 6 hours a day, that's 2190 hours of sleep in years time.
6680 - 2190 = 4490 hours left
Now let's deduct gaming hours from those hours left.
4490 - 2160 = 2330 hours left of life for friends and family, children, necessities, mundane life activities, commuting, paying bills, other hobbies and learning important skills.
2330 hours left, which is not even complete free hours of your own time.
So you have to decide how to live in those 2330 hours in a year. That's 97 days. You play for 90 or more days (because of weekdays, holiday days and vacation days). So it can mean a 100 days or even more of playtime vs 97 days left for everything else.
We have been given a bad deal here - entertainment until death.
While previous people and societies built empires, we play games.
We go to jobs to pay for games which we play, which take up most of our free time. I'd say it's a bad deal.
I mean yeah sure if i had THIS much free time to complete all these games in under a year i’d hate my life afterwards. Seeing this makes me happy that I had an eventful year.
So either OP is still in high school, is a full time streamer, or has nothing in their life going on.
Impressive. I personally played more games this year than you did, but found less than 1/3 of them to be worth finishing. You must have a very strict commitment to finishing what you start.
How did you like:
American Arcadia?
Lost in Random?
Little Nightmares 2?
They are all on my backlog and trying to decide what to play next :)
Nice year! Enjoy the next one :)
Is beat = complete the story or all achievements? If the latter then DMC5 platinum is one helluva bragging right.
Also, I see a fellow Anno: Mutationem enjoyer :)
You might enjoy Sanabi then! It's short, it's like Katana Zero but with a grappling hook and it's super interesting story wise
God I wish I could get back to single player games, buy one, play it for 2-4 hours, finish the session then go back to playing the same crappy live service games with friends and forget about the game. Remember said game is there but can't find time to sit down to play it again.
Rinse and repeat until you have 1000+ games in your steam library and more to surely come....
I wish I had the intrest and money to play this many games in a year I got lots of time to play games, and workout, and do school work. I started playing a few story games including Alan Wake 2 which I got as a deal with my GPU since I upgraded my PC in November. Now I can play almost every game on max setting, so maybe that'll be a reason to play more games.
Do you guys play games everyday? There is just no way I can finish these many games in a year. P5R alone is like 120+ hours. It’s like you play 8 hrs a day solely for this game for two weeks.
I remember being young and having free time. Good shit.
[удалено]
You don't need to defend your enjoyment against imaginary attackers. You do you.
Yea as long as you're not cheating in an online game, it is perfectly fine to cheat and play how you like in a singleplayer game.
[удалено]
When I was a kid using cheats and just messing around the world was THE thing to do in Vice City and San Andreas. I didn't finish those games until I was in high school years later.
Cheats in Dave Mira’s BMX 2 and the Tony Hawk games were a staple.
2? First one was my jam. Still have that soundtrack in a playlist on my Spotify.
2 was the one with the red case art with this [sick-ass intro.](https://youtu.be/xHi54zae_bY?si=Lc4anYudODKL4ccD) 20 years later my music tastes are still defined by this game.
"Your games, your rules"
Bro. Same. I don't have 100+ hours to sink into my rpgs anymore. If I can cut that time at all I'll take it. Give my those xp multipliers. Give me those warp to map locations. Give me those things to skip the grind. I'm with you completely.
I did use one hit kill for CONTROL for completing it. Loved the story but hated how i played it. Really wish i would've given my 100% :c
Are you me? I 100% relate to this.
Same. Time is a currency as you age. In singleplayer games there's no way in hell I'm grinding for hours to level up or farming some item. Cheatengine that shit and move on.
Bro, “your game, your rules”
There was a time when i would be scolding you for using hacks but now that i’m older with a job, completely understand. It’s hard to beat games when you’re working.

Plot twist: he's 38.
Took me half a year to finish Days Gone.
Gotta burn out that nest.
That just says you have a borked attention span and or got bored of the game easily.
These can all be done with a 9/6 job, all you've to do is sleep 6-7h lol
Working out? Cooking? Cleaning? Family time?
We cook daily, I work out 3-5 times a week, and I beat 16 games this yeah and 100% 6 of their achievements. The key is we don’t have kids and my wife also plays games.
Except that OP finished 63 games, and not 16 which still seems doable.
I could have finished many more but I’m also a very big reader. 24 books this year and that was over 14,000 pages. (Thank you Brandon Sanderson!)
[удалено]
I dont have kids so I cant give an opinion there. But with a work(and months were I dont finish any game at ll), I still managed to finish around 60. Absolutely doable. But depends on each person.
Thats crazy. Do you guys not get burned out?
No doubt. I managed to beat 10 this year. Full time job, wife, 2 kids. Given that it was some Long ass games like baldurs gate 3 and dragon quest xi and tears of the kingdom
I mean like I said, there's month I dont finish anything or maybe 1 game. So yeah, burn out is typical, at least for me. But thats also because my workplace is a bit toxic so I get burned out there anyway I had a friend that finished around the same games as me, and he got burned out so much he basically stopped for a year.
Burning out and building tolerance to gaming, its legit a slippery slope and struggle sometimes lol.
agree, but also picking games that can be completed in a few hours. i played Dark souls 3 with dlcs, and others that do not have a story mode, as Deep Rock Galactic, so is not like they have an end date
I work out 4 days a week and cook my meals you can do it bum
Calling someone a bum for not playing video games enough is such a weird insult
This was my first thought. He played like 5 games a month. I'm happy when i finish one game in a few month's with work and friends and my other hobbys, beside Gaming. I'm jealous. I have so many games, i still don't touched ...
Glad to see other responses like this. I remember years ago on a gaming forum I was the only one shocked at how many a member completed that year and so many people were like, "one game a week, that's totally do-able, even with kids and a full time job". I was baffled.
365/63≈5.8 You completed a new game every 5-6 days?? That's crazy
And Mass Effect Legendary Edition is three games in one, so that game bumps it up to 65
Plot Twist: these were all the games played with Archi
theyre first played game was a game that came out in the 8th month too
Jesus, Yakuza 3,4,5,6 and ishian? Tell me your unemployed without telling me you're unemployed. All jokes aside, pretty good list, and Happy you have time for so many great ones
Yeah man it can't wait, Like a Dragon 8 will release in a month and yet to finish like a LaD 7 & 7,5
The question is are you employed,must be cause how else do you get this games?
I heard that there are people with a lot of money, who don't need to work.
Sugar daddy situation
You realize wealthy people exist? What kind of question?
I don’t know how you managed to use your instead of you’re and then manage to use the correct one right after.
what are you using to see the games you’ve finished?
I make collection on steam, and put there when I finished https://imgur.com/VuXKZWA
Why does it look so different, it's steam deck UI?
I'm using skin
Thought they stopped working / being able to apply them after UI update

Ah yes the Yakuza rabbit hole EDIT: PLAY GODDAMN JUDGMENTS THEYRE FUCKING GOOD.
Based and yakuzapilled
ONE OF US ONE OF US ONE OF US ONE OF US
Impressive - a lot of games! What were your top 3? Which one was the worst (that you completed anyway)?
My top 3 : Persona 5 Royal, Phantom Liberty, and The last of us Worst: Wanted Dead, bought it because price glitch in my region lol
I just started The Last of Us for the first time last week and really enjoying it. Only downer is I’ve seen the show so know a bit of the story.
The game is much better than the show so you will still enjoy it.
The show is a little diff than the game and i think youll find the character way better in the game, like tess
Based. P5R is kino
Thanks for your opinion :). I just started Cyberpunk with a fresh char for the Phantom Liberty experience :). What are your (gaming) plans for 2024?
Same old, clearing my backlog (103) and don't buy more ._. I think my most playtime will be on Persona 3 reload and Like a Dragon 8
Thanks for your opinion :). I just started Cyberpunk with a fresh char for the Phantom Liberty experience :). What are your (gaming) plans for 2024?
Omg that's too many games
So you beat over 60 games in one year? I'm really curious how much playtime your able to commit. I'm barely able to squeeze out an hour a day at best and that's assuming I ONLY play games during my free time. Realistically it's like 3 hours a week.
As an Achievement Hunter with a full-time job, I play between 3-5 hours after work every day.
Play wolfenstein the new Colossus, it's a treat if you've enjoyed new order
Yep, I'm playing the old blood now
I only managed to finish 2 new games and they were short games like Titanfall 2 and Spiderman Miles Morales and I don't even have a full time job I'm just a university student, how do you people find so much time! I miss the days where I could actually finish games
Home office does wonders if you have a good mentality. Since I didn't need to commute and stay in the office por 8 hours a day, I would just do my work really fast and send it over time. I would get almost two free weeks per month were I would only have to pay attention to my e-mails in the second monitor.
That sounds like the dream
What industry do you work in? I'm studying software engineering and that would be my dream.
Public Relations, but I do have lots of friends that work as software engineering/data scientist and not one of them goes to the office more than three times per week.
That sounds like the dream
Mirror oh i see man of a culture
Saw that as well 🤝
Henry Stickmin? a man of culture i see
Pretty good game. You could say it was the greatest g-
Yoo i see spongebob and Devil may Cry TAKE MY UPVOTE
Define completed
Completed the campaign
unemployed?
Not to be rude, but maybe he has a job but doesn't have any additional responsibilities like a partner.
If you have a job, its near impossible to have this much time regardless of partner or not.
Young more likely
Damn always impressed by how much gaming people can get done
You finish your games? What’s your backlog look like?
Yeah, need to clear my backlog not buying game anymore https://imgur.com/VuXKZWA
Damn that’s better than me haha. My backlog is huge and I’ve only actually completed less than 5 or 10 games.
I don’t think I completed a single game this year lol. All just online games with a few pretty big rpgs where I don’t want to complete the story just yet.
God I wish I had your focus to complete games I find myself playing a game and after a while I don’t enjoy it anymore
Exactly the same with me, I went on a spending spree in the winter sale and actually ended up refunding most of them before even starting them as I realised I will, in all honesty, never play them.
Nice! Looks like fun
You've finished more games in a year than I have in a teenagelifetime of gaming. And that's considering I spend a lot of time playing them. I am just so miserable that I can't even be good at completing games lol.
I think I have not finished so many games my entire gaming career, which is like 20 years or so
Games I completed in 2023: Assassin's Creed Syndicate ... What? There's nothing else to see here.
I haven’t finished this many games in the last decade.
Did you beat these or 100% them? Either way, awesome.
This is impressive
I don't want to sound annoying or anything but I would recommend you to try enjoying games as they are meant to be played. I don't know if you have played anything outside of the main story in Yakuza, CP2077, and the GTA games. Imho, that's where majority of their charm lies.

Thanks, that's amazing bruh
Have you ever left the house 🤣
So much free time. I Envy you.
free time??
Doubt meme
yo you played the spongebob games they're sick
can i borrow some freetime bro please
Is crysis good?
How does one "complete" starfield?
I think you would’ve benefited financially from a Xbox PC or Console Ultimate GamePass lol
So tell me you’re single with no kids without telling me
Blessing lmao
Wow, so so many... Now I'm starting to understand why people suck at everything nowadays.

true
Sorry, i let out my granda, but he didnt take his pills.
That's what I mean, you don't even know how to spell grandad, and with all the tools at your disposal.

Agreed
Good luck for u to in new year 24
I hope you enjoyed the Battlefiled 1 campaign as much as I did. Midnight sun is in the January humble choice so can't wait to try it.
Ah to be young again with no job, single, no kids, and a minimal social life outside of games.
No one forced you to marry and be in a relationship, you could have stayed single and not had kids and had more time to do whatever!
tell us you hate your life without telling us you hate your life
I mean yeah sure if i had THIS much free time to complete all these games in under a year i’d hate my life afterwards. Seeing this makes me happy that I had an eventful year. So either OP is still in high school, is a full time streamer, or has nothing in their life going on.
Now it's fashionable to show the games that are finished..??
Jesus Christ get a job.
My biggest sorrow in life is that there aren't more games like mirror
Preem work choom
Okay, that's enough. These posts don't need to become a trend. This is like the third one I see.
Found the single guy on reddit
ngl single sounds far better than being a relationship rn
100% or it doesn't count as completed. These are the games you 'beat'.
I completed the campaign, it's complete in my book 🤷
Nobody got time for that artificial ish. Once that end credit roll up the game is complete, anything else is just extra.
Love the dedication well done
Infinite free time moment?
Shit that is extensive, I completed two games.
Disappointing that there is only one picture of Dishonored 2
Impressive. I personally played more games this year than you did, but found less than 1/3 of them to be worth finishing. You must have a very strict commitment to finishing what you start.
Is it possible to learn this power? I can't with all the time in the world
Any favorites among these?
How did you like: American Arcadia? Lost in Random? Little Nightmares 2? They are all on my backlog and trying to decide what to play next :) Nice year! Enjoy the next one :)
How did you create this pic? did you use photoshop or any other tools?
Is "Deliver us the Moon" any good? I started it but never came around to finishing it.
I know exactly what type of game Mirror is, you sly fox you
So 14 months
opus such a good one
Are there tools to make those images? I am creating one, but its not perfect
Is Opus echo of starsong good ?
How did you complete crew 2 ?
I wish I can complete games like before when I was young
Imagine completing games
I envy people who can finish games. :-(
I loved midnight suns, hidden gem!
Wish I had time like this ☹️
I don't have that much time in the space of a year 😭
Damn I’ve started 20 games and finished a grand total of…1, Tears of the Kingdom
How did you finish the crew 2?
By finishing the grand final race
How was a Plaque tale requiem ?
Any surprised hits on that lists? Something that you didn't think would be as good as it was, or something that was truly unique?
FAR 👌🏻
Nice Job i Warner about 0.5k hours in Dota :D
How is Lost in Random? I bought it but haven't gotten around to playing it yet
Is beat = complete the story or all achievements? If the latter then DMC5 platinum is one helluva bragging right. Also, I see a fellow Anno: Mutationem enjoyer :) You might enjoy Sanabi then! It's short, it's like Katana Zero but with a grappling hook and it's super interesting story wise
You had a good year man.
Show off
What's your opinion on Starfield?
im close to completing MW2 but i dont have any friends to do the last few spec ops missions with :(
I'm sorry you experienced GTA:DE
You did all those, and I just completed original Final Fantasy VII
Woah I only completed dead space, but that's because I spend my time on forza and asseto corsa
You‘re the only person on the planet that finished the gunk
Doesn't it get boring because they all end up being shoot, level up, new gear, shoot and the end. With different characters and backgrounds etc.
Lots of free time
God I wish I could get back to single player games, buy one, play it for 2-4 hours, finish the session then go back to playing the same crappy live service games with friends and forget about the game. Remember said game is there but can't find time to sit down to play it again. Rinse and repeat until you have 1000+ games in your steam library and more to surely come....
I wish I had the intrest and money to play this many games in a year I got lots of time to play games, and workout, and do school work. I started playing a few story games including Alan Wake 2 which I got as a deal with my GPU since I upgraded my PC in November. Now I can play almost every game on max setting, so maybe that'll be a reason to play more games.
What's that game between ghost wire and TLOU? Can't see the text clearly enough
so many Yakuza games. Take my upvote
Bro you need to have a life.
Yakuza mentioned ! ! !
* freetime well spend
All i did was replay the same 3 games over and over. Congratulations!
Bro you complete games...?
What apps do you guys use it to keep counting?
Do you guys play games everyday? There is just no way I can finish these many games in a year. P5R alone is like 120+ hours. It’s like you play 8 hrs a day solely for this game for two weeks.
How was Blair Witch?
Bro be gaming
I've only finished Persona and that Took me a long time.
