I have several games I never finished, but they're mostly games I picked up on a whim because they were cheap. Guess I need to start being more selective in the future.

Unless the game isn't enjoyable, yes, always, regardless of how many other games I have to play. I almost always play a game from start to finish once I've started it.

Not all of them. The link in my sig shows that I have five unfinished games, but I do plan on finishing them in the near future, and I haven't bought a game in months, so it's likely I'll get to them soon. In terms of Wii games, I have played and beaten all of them once (but not all 100% completion).

Yep, I'll never play more than two games at a time and in most cases if its a game with an engrossing story, one at a time. I finish that game(s) and then move on to others. So I never have games sitting unfinished.

I know, right? Super embarassing. But I started playing it as a little kid, when it was way too hard for me, and I did nothing but pointlessly run around Hyrule. I only actually started trying to beat the game about a year ago, and now I pick the game up every few months and try to beat a temple. I can't believe I still play my N64...

If I buy a game then I'll finish it, I don't buy games if I'm not going to enjoy them enough to complete them. I generally don't finish games that I rent/borrow though.

Buy games online you mean. And you live somewhere not secluded enough to have a Gamestop, but too secluded to have any other real options? Buying less games on day 1 will allow you to save a lot of money and actually finish your games. If you don't have a checking account or something, you could always take the cash you use to buy games to buy Gamestop gift cards and use those to buy games online at any point.

No, a good 3/4ths of my video game library are either halfway done or only an hour logged. xD

I'm trying to get better though - I've beaten most of the Wii games I own and starting on PS3 games..

I have completed every single Wii game I've received. But there are some games that I have been unsuccessful of completing, still trying to get through (Mega Man and Starship Defense), very hard to get through. Pretty much the only game I can't get past even after obsessively forcing myself to sit through yet still too hard for me is Stupid Mario Bros 2...oh and Mr. Dream (Mike Tyson) from Punch-Out.

Why don't you buy games online (I'm assuming that's what you meant)? I only buy games online.

you better treat that paranoia before gaming goes all digital. i buy from ebay and never had issues, you just need to know where to buy from and who to trust. plus, steam is probably the best thing that ever happened to PC gaming. and they keep sucking my money, with those great games at ridiculously low prices >.>

Online shops like Amazon are actually safer than retail shops. Retail shops can have any number of places where your credit card could be compromised - the cashier could look at the number and memorize it; someone could have installed a reader into the credit card machine, and so forth. With online shops, there is no human middleman, all communication is encrypted, and thus no one has any chance to intercept your credit card info. There is literally no downside to online shopping, unless you absolutely must have something now.

at some point you'll have to use a credit card... unless you prefer walking around with hundreds of dollars and risk being robbed. it's a possibility.

A debit card works muuuuch better. Afraid to carry hundreds of dollars, grab a debit card where your money is safe, and also taking amount money that is actually there, and not money that isn't.

Which is even more dangerous than using a credit card, as when stolen you have absolutely no way of recovering anything at all, whereas all credit cards carry zero liability on purchases made if it is stolen.

From least dangerous to most dangerous, we have:

1. Using a credit card online.
2. Using a credit card in person.
3. Using cash.

So yeah, you're pretty much going with the option that is the least secure option in existence.

About two years ago i had the problem of buying games and never finishing them. lol But now i want my moneys worth. Unless the game is terrible (the force unleashed) i will finish it. Even if i'm terrible at it. I like being challenged. If the game is full of bugs i won't finish it. I'm just more selective and read lots of reviews to make a informed buy now. Plus i don't buy games new. Too risky in my book.

I have this nasty habit of inundatingmyself with somany games that I can't seem to finish them all. I guess I get impatient. I haven't finsihed Mario Galaxy, and I don't think I will, because I get so frustrated dying time and again in a certain area. I hate the factthat the game has no checkpoints so at least you can start from you died, instead from the very beginning of the level. It got to the point where I just gave up and went on to another game I was waiting to play. Am currently playing Metroid Prime Trilogy, and Conduit. I will try to finish these games for sure.

Usually, I beat every game I buy. I try to anyway. I usually play about 3 games at a time unless one is so engrossing that it outweighs the other one. Like I've been playing Metroid Other M but I took a break to play Bioshock on the PS3 and Star Wars Force Unleashed 2. I do have some games that I never beat though, like SSX Blur, Zack & Wiki, Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Tomb Raider Anniversary, but that also had to do with the fact that my Wii crashed after an update and I lost all my save data and I didn't feel like starting over all the way from the beginning. I guess I might go back at some point to those games. But that's probably gonna be a ways off.
