I never finish anythi

Games. We all play em’, we all spend our hard earned cash on em’ ….but how many of the games that you buy/play do you actually complete?

Personally I’d say I complete about 5-10% of games I play. (much to my own disappointment) The last 2 weeks I’ve picked up Dead Space, Fallout 3 and Spiderman Web of shadows and haven’t completed any of them, I’ve hardly even got ¼ of the way into these games.

Not to mention I still want to complete Fable 2, Gears2 and I wanna get Left4Dead . . . . .

I don’t consider this a waste of money as such, because I guess in my mind I am going to finish them off, but whether I will is another story. The last few games I’ve completed were Halo3, Gears, Bio shock (this is going back last year). I will complete smaller games such as DS titles and XBLA games ( Omega 5 <3 )

This happens a lot with me, for whatever reason I just keep telling myself I’ll play this game or that game soon but I’ll never actually get around to it…Also the last 3 months it doesn’t help at ALL that I’ve started playing WoW and recently dinged 70.

Ultimately, I guess it’s all down to time at the end of the day. I’m 22 and work a full time job, I just wish I had more time to play the games I want to play…

How about you guys? Does anyone here splash out on games only to find you rarely get around to finishing them? And of all the games you play, how regularly would you say you complete games you intend to.

If you find yourself never getting around to finishing the games you want, why do you think that is?

Opinions, give them to me :D

I see what you did there.

Although, you were able to finish this blog, so you apparently finish some things. What else are you lying to me about? Did you rape my mother? HUH? IS MY MOTHER DEAD?! OH GOD, IT'S MY MOM, ISN'T IT?!?! SHE'S DEAD!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!




Also, more pics.

I don't finish every game that I buy, but I do quit on some of them.

I would say the kind of game that I don't finish the most is RPG's, just because near the end of the games, they always get really hard, and I don't feel like grinding. I just don't have the patience. But I do finish most of the games that I buy.

I know how you feel...

I think my problem is that I always play on the hardest difficulty.

I always finish every game I buy...eventually...

I've probably got 5%-10% non-completion. Then again...being rather a rather poor college student, the game flow probably isn't as high.

I know exactly how you feel and I do not finish many games either. In fact, I wrote about my confessions.
