Do you finish all of your games?

I didn't finish...

1. Mass Effect ---> Got close to the end, then quit out of boredom. Got sick to death of the framerate dips, the "I lost shields" comment in battle over and over (yes...I'm well aware that if I planned my fighting strategies better, I wouldn't have to hear that line). But, I just didn't care enough to finish it...even with a compelling storyline.

2. FEAR on Xbox 360 ---> Never played it on PC. Wow...this game seems highly overrated. It just seemed like a generic shooter with cheesy horror elements thrown in. Why did hermits consider this game so original back when it 1st released to PCs?

3. Phantom Dust ---> Fun for awhile. Lost interest.

4. Tales of Symphonia ---> Got pretty far, then got bored.

5. Devil May Cry 4 ---> 1st DMC game I've played. Wow...just wow...what do cows see in this series exactly? Yeah...I haven't played DMC1, 2, 3. Are they vastly different than DMC4? I sure hope so, because DMC4 was terrible imo. Bad camera, cheesy dialog, annoying and arrogant character (Nero), horrid music every single time enemies are in an area, lame puzzles, silly taunts.

There are many other games I didn't finish. I've finish a lot though. It seems like the games I finish I have to REALLY, REALLY like a lot. Otherwise, I just lose interest.

Anyone else lose interest in games before finishing them?

I've finished everygame I've owned this generation besides the ones I'm playing now (Blue Dragon and Orange Box: Half Life Ep 2). Achievements make me want to beat games. Yeah I know its sad but they also really make me play the game a lot more. More bang for your buck I guess.

But for the Cube I never beat Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles and Star Fox Assault. I bought these games and barely played them. Star Fox was so bad I stopped gaming for a year and a half. True story.

In the pas five years, one, Ninja Gaiden Sigma; after beating Alma the second time and getting my butt handed to me by those bezerkers, I couldn't take it anymore and gave up. Maybe I'll go back again to finish it off... maybe.elbow2k

Ironically...I've given up on easy games because I lost interest. I beat Ninja Gaiden on "very hard" after getting killed over and over and over again. I just kept playing anyway. Something about that game compelled me to beat it. Now, to be honest...I did lose interest after beating "very hard". I didn't even attempt the hurricane packs...

Ok, I did :lol: at that statement because Star Fox did suck for Cube. However, you quit gaming for 1 1/2 years because of a single bad game experience :question:

Sorry. I forgot to clarify "finish". When I say "finish", I don't mean like finish as in 100% of everything in the game. I mean "finish" as in just getting to the end credits regardless of what your completion percentage is. It is possible to "finish" Metroid Prime 3 with 22% completion. AvIdGaMeR444

All the games i have now i have beaten, except for the rainbow six vegas 2 campaign. But im sure ill force myself to finish it.

Every single one at max difficulty. When I gotta pay I want my money's worth :)jangojay

would you happen to have guitar hero? :P

yeah i know, some of the people who play guitar hero are ridiculously good at it, it takes a crap load of practice at that game to be able to beat some of the harder songs in the game imo

Only game I never finished was Oblivion
That's the first and last time I go by reviews
That's the first and last time I buy a game I won't like

Another game I meant to mention was R6V. I never finished the 1st game. Got close to the end, and never finished. But I still want R6V2 for some reason.

I actually forced myself to play the game to the finale. It wasn't fun. I kept expecting greatness, and never saw it. The primary thing that bothered me the most was the leveling system. I never once felt remotely more powerful throughout the entire game. 99% of enemies (with the exception of crabs, and maybe a couple of other enemies) would always stay just as strong as you. There was never a single incentive to ever level up your character since enemies would level up with you. I wanted to go to a random cave/dungeon and get my butt kicked by super-powerful enemies or vice versa. It never happened. Everything was on an even keel, and it drove me nuts.

In fact...most hermits hated this game (I have it for 360) that they used mods to fix all the problems with the leveling system.

Basically all of the games I have on snes. Games were so hard back in the day; Now, games hold your hand the whole time...playing on hard mode is like playing on normal.

But games nowadays... DMC and Ninja gaiden. I really dont know what people see in these games. Move to point A-B then proceed to hack-n-slash. Plus, I played bioshock at my cousins house which he was borrowing from a friend. I started a new game & quit after 45 minutes.

For the last several years I have finished about a ful 3/4 of games I have purchased.

But I used to finish less then half.

Probably less than 50%. I can name some off the top of my head:

Pokemon Diamond: It's too similar to last Pokemon games, I've been busy with other games

Switchball: bad camera angles at times

Okami: I got stuck

Devil May cry: No interest

Devil May Cry 3: Way too hard

I loved oblivion (on both PC and 360) but the main quest was not very good.

A lot of PC gamers bashed it and it was not perfect but the leveling gripe did not bother me at all. I did get so insanely powerful that I crushed everything I came into contact with. And a lot of the sub-quests hidden through out the world were awesome IMO.

But the leveling system made it so right from the start of the game you could go where you wanted when you wanted with no artificial limitations like being a certain level.

Hopefully the next elder scrolls takes the best parts of oblivion and the best parts of Morrowind to make the best game in the series yet though.

Until then the fact the Fable is opening up the world unike the linear paths of the first game makes it the number one RPG on my list besides getting my hands on the first FF for the ps3.

But I usually finish games more the once now. I just finished my third play through of mass effect on Insane and I must say it was not insane enough, I will try an insane play through from level 1 next, that should be a lot harder.

I have not finished oblivion, its just some side quests and the shivering isles bit. but whenever I finish a game I will play oblivion again, so it will just take a while.

I never finished NFS carbon, I liked the other ones, but that one was boring. I dont know if I will finish burnout either, I find that game boring.

I complete games I get now, which is mostly FPS games. though I had C&C and was more interested in skirmish battles than the campaign.

what an overrated DEPRESSING game that was....

both great.. i love the gameplay mechanics in this game.. i could play levels forever...

I finished the majority of games i buy. The only games I havent finshed in the past 2 years are Prey, Viva Pinata and Twilight Princess

I think if you buy games you have no intention of beating or completing you are buying games not out of enjoyment for them but as a kind of substitute for some gaping hole in your life that obviously isn't being filled by these purchases.

I am a true gamer. I play my games through and through.

Yes. Then I put them in the closet and play them 10 years later.

I was half kidding. The game didnt really make me stop gaming. It was just horrible. Payed 59 bucks played it once and then never played again. However, from Feb 05 until Nov 06 (when I bought a 360) the only game I played was KH2. But you can blame that on no good games for the Cube.

Finish all my games, if i know there good and look good, i won't stop untill i'm done with it. i hate leaving things half way..but thats just me.

I have a long attention span when it comes to games, just love em.

Pretty much the only game I've never finished to 100% is GTA SA, and also The Path of Neo on PS2, I got to this weird level which was like some sort of parrallel dimension, and just thought, I am NEVER finishing this...

I used to have a bad habit of never finishing games, but recently I've been putting more effort into finishing games.

Just this past week I beat Half Life 2 and Ep 1 (bought the Orange Box during that big Steam sale and just NOW beating parts of it). It took me several months to beat GRAW2 and I can't even seem to polish off Stranglehold's 7 hour campaign.

Tomorrow Ep 2 is going down and then I should start a new game...maybe I'll boot up Team Fortress 2 for the second time!

Nope I only finish games if I know I can still do stuff in the game even after I beat it.

Nope I only finish games if I know I can still do stuff in the game even after I beat it (Without starting a new game because I'm not a fan of Online I prefer Split Screen or else SSB Multiplayer where 4 people are on one screen without it being Splitscreen.)

i am currently finishing Ratchet and Clank on ps3, still have to finish uncharted, resistance, motorstorm (havent even played motorstorm yet),condemned 2, farcry on 360, tomb raider legend, Dirt, i have the time but most of my time is taken up by multiplayer games...especially cod4 and Team Fortress 2, played prtal for 4 minutes and half life 2 for like 3 hrs, still need to finish half life and its expansions

Edit: forgot about DMC4 :P

AvIdGaMeR444

Oh, ya...I've lost interest in plenty of games.

hermits? cows? wtf?

anyway...the only game I really didn't finish was that jedi outcast game with the supposed "advanced lightsaber combat". Worst game Ive ever played

i normally do

if i like a game, i'll finish it .. sometimes i'll have to go back to it a while later to finish it

but if i'm not liking a game, i'll just give up, unless there's something to keep my playing .. like a great storyline
