It took me two years to finish Uncharted 2...yeah, it was great.

Am i the laziest gamer out there? I loved the game, but i took huge breaks from the game. I have too many games to play and movies to watch. Im glad i took the time this afternoon to finish the game before Uncharted 3 comes out to get up to speed with the story. This is one of the few games i have finished in the last couple of years. Do any of you get distracted from story based games as easily as i do? Do you think the multiplayer compoenent in the new game will take you away from the single player game?

u2 was great. definitely better than the first one, and one of the best campaigns i played in awhile...but i don't think it was a perfect game. the mp was an afterthought for me. i don't know if its me, but i don't see the point of having a shooter that takes a million bullets to kill anyone...

as far as addicted to games, im usually not that addicted to single player campaigns unless its an fps. im too easily sucked in by fps or sports games. i think ive gotten better with it over time, as i think ive finished more than 15 games within the last 2 years despite playing fps mp shooters.

Im the opposite as well, I got sucked into InFamous 1 & 2

I finished the single player in a day myself :)

Cant say i agree... i end up buying a game and just keep playing it until it is completed. Story based games suck you in even more and i often find myself playing for hours on end and beating the game in within a day or two.

Not at all.

bought it end of 2009 still haven't got even half way though I got bored and shelved it.

That is a massive gap to start and complete it. To enjoy it to the max it should be completed in one sitting, just like a movie.

It just depends on the game for me. Some I finish from the start and others I have to take a break from.

Well, i can see im not alone here, though most of you do it the right way.

I still have Vanquish, Castlevania Lords of Shawdow, Bulletstorm, Dead Space 2, and Infamous 2 to play.......and i still want to buy new games too. If i could just resist buying new games for a year i might actually finish these off.

Yeah, when I first beat Uncharted 2, I was so happy and I came out of it like 'woah, that was such an amazing expierance'. When I get Uncharted 3 I'm going to beat the single player before I even touch the multiplayer.

When I get a new game, I usually beat the single player pretty quickly.

My older brother is the one that usually takes years to finish his games. He got Devil May Cry 4 when it came out and it wasn't until recent that he made some progress on the game. However, when it comes to Kingdom Hearts he usually beats them fairly quickly.

I beat it within 4 days.

If it's a game with only SP, then I'll beat it right away so I can move on to the next (always so many games to play these days!) but if there's MP, I'll beat the SP and dive into the MP for awhile if it has high replay value. So really it comes down to replay value for me, but either way I like to become immersed into a game. Drake's has a great MP so it holds that value, but I think it's silly to take forever on a game, you don't feel as immersed in it after taking extended breaks

i do that sometimes but its not really because of laziness, maybe sometimes but it's mainly for being too busy. i try to do it all together to make sure i know the story.

I have a bad habit of stopping in the middle of a game, and the longer I take to get back to it, the less interested I am in continuing. I just start over at some point in time.

I can't speak on the first 3 (though I enjoyed their demos and plan to pick them up down the road), but Dead Space 2 and inFamous 2 were both excellent. The improved combat mechanics, cutscenes, and storytelling in both made them hard to put down. Both I feel were noticeable improvements over their previous games.

As for me, I used to be a "one game at a time" kind of guy. A lot of that had to do with the fact that I didn't have a job at the time, so when I bought a game I played the hell out of it.

Now that I have a steady job again and money to spare I find myself buying more and more games to the point where some get shelved for months in lieu of new games that I've been anticipating more. I'm actually looking forward to December as there's nothing I intend to buy, I'm moving into a new place of my own (no one to bother me / bother), and I can catch up on my backlog. The most important thing is not to force yourself to do anything you don't want to. That's a surefire way to get burned out on anything.

Currently I'm juggling the Battlefield 3 MP beta (ends tomorrow), the Uncharted 3 MP demo, RAGE, Crysis 1 (STILL haven't finished C2, so I'll probably finish C1 first then go back), and I was in the middle of Resistance 3 co-op campaign on Superhuman with a friend and messing with the MP for that. Batman: Arkham City is my next pickup followed by Battlefield 3. It's a shame, because I just bought the Ico/Shadow of the Colossus Collection and it's gonna end up shelved for now along with the God Of War Collection, God Of War III, BioShock 2, Demon's Souls, SOCOM 4, and Fallout: New Vegas.
