So just out of curiostiy do you guys beat your games first before buying new ones and moving on?

I used to just buy them whenever i found a new one i like but i just got my wii a week and a half ago and my new policy is that im going to beat my games before buying any new ones other wise i give up on them and never beat them. There for they do not fullfill their lives destiny. So what do you guys do?

Sometimes I'll beat them and trade them in for another. Usually I buy it them when they come out and open them when I'm done with whatever I'm playing.

I really should start buying them one at a time, but when I see a steal on ebay I just have to take advantage of it. In the past two weeks alone I've created an eleven game pile-up that isn't going to go away very quickly.

Yes, if I purchase a new game before getting the most out of the one I already have, I feel like I'm wasting my money. Plus, by the time end up beating a game and moving on, the next game I want has often already gone down in price.

Same, although I've stopped jumping to the new game I bought until I'm finished the game I'm currently playing but that doesn't stop me from buying it. Usually because I buy games I'm interested in when I find a good deal, and there's no guarantee that deal will be around for long.

i wish...unfortunately, having unfinished games doesn't stop me from picking up big games the day they come out. I mean, honestly, i couldn't imagine myself saying "nope, not gonna pick up GTA IV until i've finished Eternal Sonata!" speaking of which, i still haven't finished Eternal Sonata. *sigh*

I rarely beat my games before I buy new ones. I am going to try to change that though.

that was always the rule at my house growing up. no new video games until you can beat the old ones. except for the occasions when a game was too hard to beat (like if my Dad couldn't get it, my mom would cave in and make an exception. I actually think it made me a better gamer though. because it meant if i wanted a new game it meant i had to find a way past the hard parts.

Yeah, I started to buy more games, some I still haven't opened! It really depends if I'm playing it for the multiplayer or I just don't feel like spending hours on an RPG. Other times, I buy new games because they are on sale! :P

I visit retail stores twice a month to see the stock. If I find a worthy deal, I just grab it - no matter I finsihed the previous game or not. In last visit I bought 'Dawn of War - Anthology' (3in1 pack of DoW, WA, DC). But I'm busy with different games right now, DoW is sitting on my self. :)

I sometimes buy more than I can handle. But I don't mind since I like them all. I always tells myself I'm going to pass these games someday. I never do though! LOL!!! But I still like them so I don't mind if they're just sitting around.

Not unless they're really easy. Otherwise, I'll get around 80% done with the game, get stuck, and then I'll go buy a different game.

I buy games whenever I see one I like and have the money... I usually just beat the main story of a game, and then it sits on my shelf for a while and then I sell it.

I don't really care. I play the games I buy for a while, buy a new one and play it and then replay old ones. If a game intrests me and I'm in the middle of another game I might wait but its kinda whatever with me.
