Poll Do you always finish games? (80 votes)

YES! 16%
No, rarely 11%
I try to complete most of them 43%
I a game is bad and wasting my time, i am not finishing it 24%
I will never finish all my games, too big of a backlog 6%

Just wondering if you guys finish games you buy or just have a big backlog . Do you try to at least play them and finish them?

Long RPGs are my only downfall, but usually I finish the games I buy.

No, I do not. Especially when it is a adventure or rpg game. I tend to get 90% of the main campaign finished, before starting a new campaign on a harder difficulty. Then I finish 50% of that and move on to a new game. This happened to games like The Last Remnant and Infinite Undiscovery.

I can count the number of games I've finished this year on one hand. And I don't even use the whole hand. I'm terrible at starting something and then starting one or two other things in the middle of playing it.

For instance, I got about 30% the way into Grand Theft Auto V, then decided it was time to play Arkham City, and there was going to be nothing to stop me from playing it (including a very noisy 360, which is why I bought the PS3 GOTY edition and started from scratch). Not even the fact I was enjoying GTAV could stop me. It was time to don the cowl and get to work.

depends.

if it's difficult for the right reasons, i'll try my best and usually succeed.

if it's just frustrating, too long, or too boring, i wont force myself.

I do my best to complete each & every game. There are an few games (Afro Samurai, Hitman Absolution & etc) I haven't finished due to renting them & not having enough time to beat it.

No.

A nasty habit of purchasing new ones before I've finished the ones already bought.

I finish all my games (except for RDR). If I am unhappy with a game I atleast try to finish the story, but leave the side-quests, extra modes and other gameplay varieties untouched.

Oh some games yeah I do finish like Saints row the third, I finished the story line and played around a bit but games like skyrim where I haven't even finished the main quest yet with 300+ into game I just go off exploring and such.

I'm really enjoying tomb raider. I'm end up re playing it just for the story, turn up the difficultly and explore more.

I very rarely don't finish a game. When I do it's for one of two reasons.

One, I try a new genera or franchise and find that it's not for me.

Two, I find that it sucks too much and is not worth pursuing further.

I'm the same way.
