Frag Cake Challange

Postby A2Z » 14 Dec 2012 14:55

I don't know if anybody has started this yet, but I am tackling this because of all the benefits it offers from something I already paid for. If anybody else wants to join in, I encourage it, especially if you have a lot of unplayed steam games in your library. Here's the post from the steam community member fragcakesc who started the idea.

The gaming equivalent of climbing Mt. Everest.
My steam library is probably pretty typical. Years of steam sales, daily deals, and humble bundles left my library of games bloated. Most of them I haven't touched and I will probably never play them in a normal situation. After the THQ Humble Bundle my first thought was, "Oh hey, more games that I can play... some day." I thought that was tragedy, people slaved over games we bought for us to enjoy. However most of us have become collectors hoarders we almost get a weird high from looking our ever growing library of games that we only played an hour or two and that's if we get around to installing them. From this I decided to challenge my self and everyone else here to play these misfit games.

There is no time limit. It's all about the journey and the challenge folks.

This isn't just about getting our money's worth from these games, it's also means broadening our horizons because we all have games in our libraries for one reason or another bought that's not exactly your cup of tea. It probably was in a bundle, you probably made a drunken purchase or buying that one game came with a hat. For whatever reason you are all going to play them all.

Frag Cake Challenge Rules
Challenge Rules (Last Updated 12/4/2012).

1.You must beat every single player game from start to finish on any difficulty.

1a. With large RPG/Sand box games like Skyrim, you must complete the main story line and the main story line in all DLC expansions you own (ie. Dawngaurd).

1b. In games where there is no ending or main story line (ex. Terraia and Sim City). You must play at least 10 hours.

1c. If a game is far too difficult for you to complete (Super Meat Boy) you must complete 15 hours before rule 1 is satisfied.

2.You must play at least 7 hours of PvP multiplayer or complete every single co-op mission (ie. Left 4 Dead).

2a. If a game has both you can either play one or the other (ie. Team Fortress 2).

3. You can either start from ascending or descending order; however, you are not allowed to skip any game except for a few exceptions.

3a. You can skip a game if playing a game have become impossible in situations like the following:

.Banned from multiplayer (if the game has single player, you must play single player component)
.An online game (like a MMO) is no loner supported.
.Your machine is not powerful enough to run the game.
.Your OS or chipset is not supported.
.Unresolvable issues that make installation or running the game impossible.

3b. If you already have satisfied rules 1 and 2 on any game then playing that game is optional.

3c. You may skip a game if there are essentially duplicates in your library (ex. You have both Half-Life and Half-Life: Source), but you must play one or the other. This includes Beta clients (ex. Team Fortress 2 Beta)

3d. Game Jumping is allowed in situations where you would like to play a series of games in a particular order (such as order of release or in chronological order). In these situations you may jump a head to complete the franchise, once completed you have to go back and continue on as normal.

3e. If you buy a new game, you must go back and satisfy rules 1 and 2.

3f. If it is in your library, you have to play Amnesia to the end you fucking baby. Nut up man, it's just pixels.

We spent our hard earned money on these games so lets finally play them!
