I was going through my library of backlog which seems to grow day after day, year after year. I realized that I have a ton of games I need to finish. I am not talking about games I play and hate (Duke Nukem Forever). I am talking about games I genuinely like, but for one reason or another, I put them down and never went back to them. For instance, I have about 12 games now that I intend to finish. Quite a few of them, I am deep into the last half of the game. Am I the only one like this, or are there others like me...the ADG (Attention Deficit Gamer)?

Im sort of like you. I could be playing a great game then i get bored of it pretty quick and start another game. Problem is though, when i go back to the game i usually start again cause thats how my head rolls. But im only playing one game at a time now even if im super bored! :P

I just finally gave up on some of them and sold em to GameStop. There was no way I would have ever had time to catch up on my backlog. Even with a significantly smaller pool of games, I still finding myself buying more and 100% knowing that I probably won't ever get to them.

Maybe it's an addiction. ::shrugs::

Although, this is the first time in my life I've ever purchased games for the sole reason of supporting a platform. (Vita)

I guess this is one reason I wasn't too broke up about the Wii U not having trophies. I am to the point now that I try to get the story done and not worry about all of the achievements. I tell myself I will go back and pick the up later, but I never do.

All of them eventually. Rarely at 100% though.

I have a lot of games that are about 90% done, but just stopped for some reason. Maybe over winter break...

I try to defeat all of my games.

However sometimes I fail at this.

Pokemon games and NSMB2 are the only games that i have ever finished. I start a game and then I get bored of it or something happens and I forget about it. I have three kids so I don't always have time to play my video games.

looking forward to Mario Golf 3D, Mario & Luigi Dream Team, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Shin Megami Tensei Devil Summoner Soul Hackers, Project X Zone and Pokemon X & Y.

I used to always beat games, as a kid. Now I'm neglecting a lot (KH3D, Golden Sun DD, and much less Wii games, among others).

Games of the past we're too hard to beat, games these days are or too long, monotonous, boring, sequels or life gets in the way constantly to finish the game. Luckily there are a few games that I get to beat at least once :P

Out of all the games I own... The only one I haven't finished yet is Fire Emblem 7, since I just bought it yesterday and I haven't played it yet.

I used to travel the stars, then I discovered Earth, and these incredibly addicting things called 'Video Games.'
And they said you couldn't buy happiness!
