who plays a game, gets right to the end of it so there is only one level/boss to kill etc and then not finish it?

i must have about 6 games that need to be finished and either i dont want to play them or cant be arsed



i feel guilty buying new ones

yes.




But it depends on what game...........once I've got all the Platinums on PGR2, I probably won't bother with the arcade challenges......what's the point after all? If there's something new to be had/seen etc then I'll keep playing, but otherwise, nah.

Don't think I've finished any game ever!

I just get a little bored of them after a while and some games are so hard it just gets me in a bad mood when I can't do it after about 30 attempts! And that kind of defeats the object of the game, as its supposed to be fun!

I feel bad buying new games sometimes because deep down I know it won't get finished!

The only games I really feel like I've got my moneys worth from are 'Project Gotham 2' and 'Simpsons: Hit & Run'

So your not the only one mate

Same here. After playing the damned thing all the way through, the last thing I want to do (Wolfenstein) is to have to shoot the world over and over until I am bored, and this ruins the game...so I leave the last bit.

Am I weird that I only play one game at a time...?

I play it until it's completed, or I prove to myself that it's impossible/will be seriously time consuming.

Me??!!?! Anal about games?!?!?

I usually finish games, occasionally find the ending impossible i.e. with "Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast" it took forever to kill the end of game boss with god mode enabled, no way in the world would I have finished it normally.

I seem to be finishing games far quicker than I used to, don't know whether this is cos the games are shorter, or that I'm getting better at playing them.

Sometimes get bored of a game within 10 minutes of starting it, though.

I tend to concentrate on one or two games at a time, play them until I have finished/got as far as possible then move onto the next one.

Rainbox 6 game with my XBox, only played it once or twice in 2 months......need to finish Halo first!

Nope, I never play games to the end. I get bored after a week or so and leave them.

I've got loads and loads of games for my PS2, and I tend to play the games for a week or so and then move onto another. Occasionally I will keep playing a game over and over
Most games i've got I have only played twice!!
Currently I'm playing Smackdown 5 & Need for speed underground

I tend to finish every game i buy at least 2 times, so i miss everything i didnt get the first time. But sometimes there are games you are truly never finished playing. Been playing SoF2 for over a year now, multiplayer is just too addicting in that game.

Only games I've finished through to the end tend to be driving games; all the GT series, Colin McRae, TOCA Race Driver etc.

Anything else just seems to get boring after a while, so I leave them (promising myslef I will finish it in a week or two) and then end up part-exchanging them (normally for a new driving game).

Still I am well chuffed at the driving games I've managed to finish.
