How many games have you actually beat?

Who actually finishes their games? When I get close to finishing a game, another great game comes out and I start playing that one and forgetting about the older 1.:?

Does anyone have any advice for my "problem?"

buy a game, finish it, buy a game, finish it, buy a game, finish it ....

I find its better to try to beat the old games before buying the new ones. Or if you friends want to play online with the new game, play the new game with them but don't go through the single player until you beat the single player on the earlier game.

1st: Yeah I have the same problem...I´m a bit different now...the 360-Archivements somehow keep me gaming and really get me more into a game.

2nd: How many did I beat...100....200...500...I really don´t know.I´m playing for almost 20 years!

Every Game I own I have completed at least once.

I don't have any advice for you. If I have two or more new games at once I still manage to complete all of them.

Lol Thats Like Me Until i saved my money and completed the others Lol Thn bought new ones

20 modern games maybe and like a hundred old school games you can easily download from the internet.

I don't understand that problem at all. What's the point of getting so far in a game if you are not going to beat it? The new game you want will still be in stores when you beat the current one. You've only watched half of each movie in your DVD collection? Focus!MicWazowski

The point of video games is to have fun. As long as you're doing that, I don't care if you beat your games or not. However, if you want to beat your games and feel bad about not doing so, manage your time better and refrain from buying something new. Or buy it and don't play it until you finish the current game. You say you might not find the same deal? Fine. What about after you buy it? The game will still be at home after you finish the current one, yes? Take your time, have fun, and you'll be fine.

I've probably beaten around 30-50 games total...around 10 for the 360, maybe 10-15 for the PS2, 1 or 2 for the PC, 3 or 4 for GB, 2 or 3 for DS, 2 for the PSP...currently working on adding 3 more (one PC, one PSP, one 360) to their ranks.

I never play other games (that has a story) until I beat the one I'm playing. Whenever I buy 2 games at the same time (never bought 3 or more at the same time), I first try both games then choose which one to finish first. The unchosen game will never be touched until I beat the one I'm playing. I hate leaving games unfinished.

Finishing games is very important to me. Back in the old days when you would buy a CD it came with a collection of songs on it and to really know what you were talking about with that CD you'd listen to the whole thing, in order.

Not finishing a game is like listening to a few tracks on an album and thinking you know what you are talking about. You have to see the entire work to appreciate it.

To the original poster, out of 1,900 games I have beaten aruond 300 of them. It gets nebulous though, cause there are a great many "unbeatable" games for the early consoles (games like asteroids where you play indefinately).

I hear what you aall are saying but it's hard to finish new games when your old game has an amazing online multiplayer experience, (e.g. Call of Duty 4.)

im the same way ... i have over 80 360 games and ive beaten probaby 10-15 (if that many) ...

its not that i dont like them, its jus im too lazy to get up and put them in the system ...

I don't beat a lot of my games. I'm usually a generation behind in gaming, so the current games working on my system tend to be cheap. Because of that, I buy a lot, some to play in the future, some to play right away. I have over 30 games that I haven't beat for PC, 10 for XBOX and 5 for NDS. I haven't decided whether to beat any of them or not. Many of them I may never beat because they don't hold my interest.

As most said, fun is the key factor. Just have fun, and don't worry about beating them. If you do want to see the ending for the hell of it, you can always skip through cheat :P
