Are you thorough with your games..?

Personally I can't take a game out of my PS3 until I have at least completed it. And I also attempt to complete said game on the highest difficulty available, often attempting to get the most trophies and hopefully a platinum

So, how thorough are you guys ?

Not much, I keep a stack of the games I want to play the most atm, and switch freely betweem them, and I only for unlockables if u unlock something really cool, like in wolverine

I am always tempted to play another game, I'm trying to complete Uncharted right now, but I just had the sudden urge to start playing The Orange Box again, I dont know why! Had to use my willpower to keep playing Drakes Fortune :)

Not usually. I play games at leisure. Maybe if I collected trophies it would be different, but if I'm bored with a game I won't keep playing it for the sake of having it completed. That makes playing games feel like a task.

I think that's the best way to game. I used to have such dedication, but not so much anymore. I'll try again, it really helps you to feel great.

Yeah i'm casual too, have about 10 games i switch between completing around 1 of them every 6 months lol.

I try to at least beat a game's single player on the standard difficulty. That's my bare minimum. I'll then either try it on the hardest difficulty (KZ2), get 100% of everything (inFamous), or get all of the trophies (LBP). But, if it's not a joy to play anymore, I'll switch to a different game, and try again after a couple weeks. So far, I haven't played any PS3 games in which I haven't at least beat the story/single player once.

I get distracted very easily, just recently i got my 1st platinum in Infamous but other than that i ama mess. For example, I ll start a franchise in MLB 09 the show for example with the Red Sox, then because i liked the Athletics road unis, id stop my franchise and play with the As. Then i ll decide to not play at all for 2 days and see if i want to get back to an MMORPG, spend 15 bucks and get tired after 2 days, then go back to playing with the Red Sox, lol its crazy but true

It depends. If I have a whole day of complete freedom then I'll dedicate it to playing thoroughly. However if I've just got in from work or had a long day the last thing on my mind is to be thorough in gaming. I'll just play casually to unwind.

If I get a new game I don't play another game until I finish the story. Once I at least finish the story then I go back to switchbetween games like RB2, Disgaea 3, Blazblue, and Dark Cloud 2.

I don't like looking at my pile of games and seeing some that are uncompleted it feels like I havent got my moneys worth.

So if im keeping the game I at least finish the story mode and usualy play extensivly trying to get most of the collectables etc (Mostly because I rarely buy games so I can get the most out of the ones I do buy)

If its a bad game I trade it in fro a better one.

I'll usually stick to the same game on a certain system until I have beaten it, but I will play three games on three different systems at any given time. It just depends what I am in the mood for.

It all depends on the game.

I've played hundreds of hours of MLB 09: The Show and Fallout 3, but only about 6 hours into inFamous. I play games in cycles; right now I'm in Baseball mode. I like to keep a diverse collection of games so that I can switch between genres on a regular basis.

I do make it a point to try and beat most of my games nowadays. Still have to complete BioShock, inFAMOUS, and Valkyria Chronicles.

this.

I switch games depending on my mood. Like I just need to beat impossible mode in Dead Space to get the platinium, but since I haven't been in mood for that I don't make myself play just to get the trophy, makes it fell like a chore.

but everytime I buy a game I always finish at least the SP campaign.

some games i am(infamous, killzone, MLB TheShow 09) others im not(COD5, MGS4, burnout paradise)

wow how weird! i was just thinking today at work that i needed to get serious and beat all my games. i dont think i have finished any of them except like two out of 11

I try to finish all of my games. I also like to go through them and try to get everything possible out of them. So I would say I'm very thorough.

i just beat the game once and try to get as many trophies as i can... then i stop playing for a while then i start playing again to attempt to get the rest of the trophies

I generally only play one game at a time, I usually play on the hardest difficulty (Game/Trophy dependant) and I like to complete 100%. I get a huge sense of achievement beating a game totally, but it can take some time (I only have a few hours a week, unless the game is awesome then I just won't sleep!). I usually jump out of my chair when I get past a really difficult part or do something really special - I like to get really involved, just like with watching/playing sport.OneDayYouWin

How many control pads have you broken in a rage?

Personally I'll play up to 3 games at a time. Switching between them. I never really cared about trophies. I usually only collect about 46 - 60% of the trophies per game. But again I don't try. So to me thats not bad.I can usually beat games on the normal difficulty and the hard but I never even attempt the hardest difficulties especially on FPS's. I suck at FPS's. Well may be not suck but I can't beat the hardest difficulty thats for sure. I'm an expert at racing games.

I always finish story-based games and grind for the easiest trophies for some replay value. Racing games and fighters are played from time to time though.

Not so much "beating it" unless I really like the story. But I do "feel better" when I've unlocked everything. Especially with a fighting game. I'm not happy until the entire roster's unlocked:lol:

But I do beat every game I own. It's just not a task I set, I just want to play it until it ends.

Luckily only one and that was back in the days of 2 player ISS Pro 98, How I hated when a mate was Brazil!!!!

Usually I get all Zen when I'm stuck on a game and get really determined to beat it, I remember doing a sniper mission in COD2 for upwards of two hours - Squad AI was too **** to cover me as I took out wave upon wave of German douche bags!!!

I usually try to finish the story on every game I buy.

Some of the games I might never play again, but with a game like Timesplitters that I really like I will try to complete/unlock everything.

I make sure I complete the game, and thats it.

I can't stand some people who buy games but never play them or finish them

It really depends on the Game, there are to much Games out there which didn't motivated me enough to get through them, but if I enjoy a Game, I usually get trough them. I have to really love it to get trough it a second time or to do additional stuff ^^

when I get a game with strong story (JRPG) or fun gameplay (I hope for Borderlands), I play only that game until bored by it, but I have to take it off the PS3 sometimes to watch Blu-ray movies

I don't play every game thoroughly.

One reason is, I'm just not that good. And the other thing is, I'd beat a game, and won't feel like doing it all over again, so I'll move on to a new game, thinking I'll get back to it later, so it feels fresher, but, man, great new games out there just keep coming on non-stop.

I'll always try and get the most out of my games and usually I will be pretty thorough with them but sometimes I really can't be bothered with certain games, this is usually RPGs like Oblivion and Fallout 3 with all the hidden junk and then there's FPSs like Killzone 2 which will have crap like symbols and intel to collect.

Not me, but I wish I could do that, I buy new games every week.... I have problems.Dogswithguns

I finish a game on normal difficulty. Sometime in the future if I play it again, I can go to hard difficulty, work on finding more stuff, upgrading the weapons farther, etc. I like to have some value left in my games after I finish them the first time. If I got all the trophies and completed everything, I'd be sick to death of the game and never want to see it again.
