Satisfaction you get from completing many games?

80/80

I haven't been gaming nearly as much as I normally did before about 2 or 3 years. I often have droughts were I don't really play anything much for a couple of months. Or I'll play one game a good amount, but I'll feel like i'm falling behind on a lot of games that I want to play (usually because I don't have them, or i'm bored of games atm). Then I'll end up getting a couple games somehow all at once, and play them. I don't know why, but just knowing that I experienced a few more games recently gives me the same type of satisfaction that I get from, say, knowing I've been working out a lot, or, being all caught up with my school work. You know what I mean?

I've been in one of those droughts recently. Now, I have Rayman, Limbo, and Gravity Rush on my Vita all ready to be completed. (I've started all of them). I'm definitely going to pick up Stealth Inc soon. Also, I have Shadow of The Colossus and Ico in my cart thanks to PS+ (games I hear sooo much praise from all the time). I'm getting Ratchet and Clank Into the Nexus tomorrow, and still have Demon Souls which I started a month ago. That probably would have ended my gaming drought for a bit, but my PS3 controller broke. OH and my friends let me borrow Super Mario Galaxy, and Portal 2.... I'll make some money this week from helping out with peoples' stuff, and buy a controller. Once I get that controller, then I'm SUPER set.

I'm off school this whole week, thanks to Thanksgiving. I'm not planning anything really. I have Tennis practice for my school team 3 days of this week, and practice is ridiculously enjoyable. much better than baseball practice (which I used to play my whole life and hated), especially since I got a bunch of my friends to join the team as well. Plus, I've been getting into drawing lately. I'm a TERRIBLE drawer, but I actually feel like i'm making progress, which is also giving me that satisfying feeling. I've been cleaning up my backyard on my own which makes my parents happy, and also gives my a satisfying feeling. OMG

But my main question, who else feels that same satisfaction just from completing a certain amount of games within a certain period of time?

It depends for me. If the game is truly challenging like Ninja Gaiden, beating it gives me satisfaction. If i tell myself that tomorrow i'm going out so i have to beat the game today and i do it then i'm satisfied:-)

It can also be bittersweet because i remember playing Uncharted 2 for the 1st time and beat it in a weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed it but it sucked twas so short:-( Multiplayer compensated though

Cool to see a fellow tennis player in SW. What racquet do you use? I use a Babolat Pure Drive Roddick Plus. The power is unbelievable.

As for your question, it depends. I love getting into a great WRPG, and usually I do end up feeling pretty satisfied when I complete one. Unfortunately it is rare for a RPG game's ending to tie up all the loose ends and provide a really fulfilling ending after all that time and effort and immersion into the world. So my satisfaction is mixed with a hint of ambivalence. In most cases I just feel relieved I found the time to beat a game so I can get to another and chip away at my backlog.

I just get happy beating a game in geniral. Its like that saying adding another notch to the belt or something like that.It just feels good. Though when I really really enjoy the game and its over I get both satisfaction and sadness.

I don't care how many games I play, or beat.

It's only important that I enjoy whatever I do play whether that's a single game in a year, or a dozen in a month.

I get no satisfaction from actually completing the game, I'm a gameplay kind of guy and I want it to last forever !
