Topic: Do you finish every game you buy?

Posts 1 to 20 of 32

I've gotten into a gaming slump recently. I own dozens of digital and retail games that I hardly play anymore. I guess I get overwhelmed by all the games I have, I lose focus on what I want to play.

I haven't unlocked all the trophies or completed all the challenges in Smash Bros. Brawl. I left my second playthrough of Mario Galaxy 2 unfinished. I haven't touched DKC2 or DKC3 in weeks. I haven't beaten all the NES Mega Man games, nor Mega Man X. I deleted Final Fantasy 2, 3, and The After Years cause I thought they were too boring and slow-paced. I'm slowly getting through Pokemon Black, and I'm only at the 5th Gym. I stopped playing Angry Birds and Cut the Rope cause I've gotten bored with them.

Anyone else with these "issues"? I guess gaming is boring me... Either that or I have too many games to get through, yet I can't get myself to delete the ones I don't play.

Maybe you should stop buying games
Or you just overloaded your self with too many Videogames.

You just need a break from gaming

For you, the day LordJumpMad graced your threads, was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday.

i think youve got alot of choice to distract you. when i want to beat a game, i open my game drawer, grab the game and two others, and i only play those games until i have beaten or accomplished the goal i wanted to. i have the other two games for like an in between period, i mean you want a variety sometimes instead of the same thing over and over. i also play them if i get stumped on a puzzle or something, so i can clear my mind and return fresh later.

I got into the habit of trading in games, but then I'd end up missing them so I'd rebuy them later. I don't want to waste my money like that, so no more trading.

I have a bit of the same problem, but the cause of it is more about that I'm really good at playing what I want. If I wanna fire up Smash Bros. again and play a couple of rounds, I'm not gonna waste much time thinking about doing it; I'm gonna do it. I'm very good at playing what I want to play. I know a couple of people who are very strict with their gaming habits, always focusing on a single game and never playing more than 2-3 games at a time.

Also, I have to question what you mean by "Finish Every Game". From what I can tell, it sounds like 100% each game is considered a "Finished" game from the way you describe it.

And yes, the reason that you think games are boring you is because you just have too many games that you feel you have to beat. I had this issue a while back, but then I just played something that I really wanted to play and it motivated me to continue playing. It's all a psychological problem, you just have to overcome it.

no way. other games distract me. most recently i bought devil survivor overclocked for 3DS and i keep playing pokemon white instead :/ i may never beat overclocked, which is usually the case when games are really long.

probably the saddest thing ever is that i bought radiant historia for ds at launch with the cool CD but i have yet to even put in into my 3DS once.

Why lie? I'm a Nintendo fanboy.
I prefer jumping on my enemies rather than shooting at them.

But what if you miss them later on?

Also, why must you stalk every thread that I post? Kidding, kidding

Not even close, lol. Personally, games are finished when they stop being fun, not when the credits roll.

There can only be one, like in that foreign movie where there could only be one, and in the end there is only one dude left, because that was the point.

@Flameking1087: i would finish playing through Devil Survivor at least once (there are multiple endings to get) before starting Radiant Historia, because once you pick up RH you probably won't be putting it down — it's freakin' amazing :3

Agreed, but there are some games that stop being fun once you've explored every nook and cranny. Super Mario 64 is one of them.

If I have time, I always try to finish them.

That being said, I'd have to live to be 785 years old in order to finish all of my games. I take vitamins and eat right, but I doubt I'm going to make it quite that far.

Plain old gamer :)
