Ever completed a game without dying?

[ríomhaire]

On the first go. We always take for granted in a game our ability to resurect so much. If one was cought in any such situation is one's life you wouldn't get a second chance. So I put this question to the forum: Have you ever completed a game, on the first go, without any kind of deaths or mission failed screens? In games where you can't actually die having to repeat a certain task you've failed (a challege in Tony Hawks say) or using Vita Chambers counts as dying/failing. This is a question about games with narratives, so MP deathmatches and sandboxes where there is no way of failing obviously don't count.

I can't think of a singe instance where this is the case for me. Getting by on the skin of your teeth the first time is so much more exciting than dying and repeating, eg, the HL2 EP2 finale (I finished that without dying, but I died elsewhere in the game).

Yeah today actually, I beat Civilization Revolution without reverting back to save or losing a city. I also beat it 3 times today (i'm renting it) but stopped because it was too difficult for me to get the Technology win without restarting a whole new game

 

[kazsymonds]

I completed bioshock first playthrough without dying or reloading saves.

I've no idea what using a vita chamber is like.

This was on normal setting though, so im no hero...

 

[Dekstar]

I completed portal first time without dying I think.

 

[Dalamari]

No game worth replaying

 

[Narcolepsy]

I beat Prince of Persia without dying once.

 

[Dekstar]

Oh and Mass Effect.

 

[swan_song1973]

ive gotten close a few times in blue shift, but i always end up letting my guard down (pun intended).

 

[Warped]

Oh and Sins of a Solar Empire. RTS games are the easiest not to die, simply because you have so many lives but your existence is strong

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

The only one that comes to mind atm is Cold Fear. Holy **** I don't even know how I made it through in one life considering how ****ing BULLSHIT parts of it were.

Red Dead Revolver, I'm a hardcore gunslinger.

 

[Hectic Glenn]

I was playing Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 yesterday and I won the Champions League final with Barcelona. Not a single one of my players died.

Congratu****inglations, that game pissed me off so much no matterh ow awesome it was.

I completed Fear 2 on it's hardest difficulty without dying.

Pre-patch?

 

[Druckles]

I completed CS:S without dying.

 

[Wanted Bob]

Peggle comes to mind.

Cant think of any others (I've gone through Bioshock on Hard without Vita Chambers, but I reverted to saves sometimes).

 

[Naudian]

I might have completed HL2Ep1 or Ep2 without dying on my first play through, since it's pretty easy on normal. I don't know for sure though.

 

[Remus]

I've always died at least once on a first playthrough...

Also I've tried difficulty mods for HL2 and Far Cry where the enemies weapons do as much damage as yours do for realism sake. And it's hard as hell, died very frequently. Just goes to show that if these game scenarios were real, it would be next to impossible to make it out alive...

Bubble bobble on NES. Somehow I decided I'll play this on one sitting straight trough without dying once. Hours of spent time check, frustration check, controller broken with scisors check, goal completed CHECK F CHECK!

You didn't die, why were you frustrated?

 

[Bakurei]

Yea but I died alot before I made it. If I remember correctly I died at the second last level and then destroyed my controller.

 

[Danimal]

Then you didn't beat it the first time without dieing.

 

[Bakurei]

Oh damn. I has learn read :'(

+1 phail

Same here.

Although I might have to revert back a save because I am at the part where you need to find all the chlorophyll solutions and I've found only 6/7 and I have forgotten where I have been.

 

[PimpinPenguin]

Pre-patch?

Yeah, the game sucked so i couldn't be bothered replaying after the patch.

 

[Dekstar]

I completed CS:S without dying.

I hear the last boss is hard.

 

[Ravioli]

That one old game where you are skiing and that mother****ing bear comes out of nowhere to kill you. No one in the world believes me when i say this, but i beat him!

 

[Druckles]

I hear the last boss is hard.

I'm well bad-ass with my headshots, though.

Boom!

 

[jverne]

No game worth replaying

amongst other things...i've replayed fallout tactics maybe 5 times or more...can't remember. and same with x-com apocalypse.

what you meant to say is...no modern game is worth replaying.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Yeah, the game sucked so i couldn't be bothered replaying after the patch.

Parts of it got ridiculous after the patch. It's not a cakewalk anymore at least.

[Rizzo]

I useally kill myself by jumping off cliffs, jumping into powerbeams or something...
So no... Probably never.

 

[Stigmata]

I've never beaten a game without dying in some way. Stupid treasure mountain, with its enemies.

 

[Lizardizzle]

bioshock i believe

 

[Mech Man]

This. I nearly completed HL2 without dying once but I managed to get my sorry ass strider'd towards the end.

 

[bam23]

[Sledgehammer]

bioshock i believe

Since dying is impossible in Bioshock (unless you turn vista-chambers off)...
