You have to finish what you start.

[Wolf Kanno]

How is your track record of completing games? Do you finish all of them or keep playing until the credits roll or just play until you get bored or life happens and then leave it for another day?

[Colonel Angus]

More often than not I finish the games.

[Scotty_ffgamer]

There are a few games I haven't beaten that I've started, but I intend to return to them eventually. Once I've beat a game once, though, I don't feel inclined to play to the end. I often will just play until something else grabs my attention then.

[Pumpkin]

Ahahaha I'm awful at finishing games. I will finish them once and then most likely never again

[Agent Proto]

When I play games, like an RPG, I usually intend to finish it at least once. Sometimes I dont manage to complete games for various reasons, like I have another game taking up my time, or I just lost interest, or life took over. :)

[Shauna]

I am baaaad for never finishing games. There is a conscious effort being made though to try and complete games after I start them. It is going mildly well.

[Pete for President]

Ever since the PS2 generation I finish every game I buy and the majority of games borrowed/acquired otherwise I finish too. That said I'm very selective about titles and my library isn't that big.

[Cloudane]

Always start a game, but never finish them.


No, I do tend to get distracted, it's about 50/50 really. I usually finish FF games in the end, at least.

[Psychotic]

I have a pretty good record on the whole!

[Bolivar]

I do finish a lot of games but i'm not religiously committed to completion. Some games just aren't worth the time sink when I could be learning Chinese or reading the Bible or something. I won't finish Killzone Shadow Fall and probably won't finish my latest file of FFI.

One issue that comes up with PSN and Steam sales is I'm buying "Complete Editions" more often than not. How much of the DLC am I obligated to play before considering the purchased title "finished?" I typically just beat the vanilla game.

I rarely feel the urge to complete a game; so long as can I put a decent amount of time into a game I consider it worth the purchase.

Perhaps this is because I hail from the generation whose first games were classic arcade games like Space Invaders. The concept of "beating" a game was foreign to me for a very long time. To this day it doesn't bother me terribly if I don't beat something.

You mean you never beat Space Invaders?!

[Vermachtnis]

I'm weird, sometimes I can focus on one game and play it from start to finish and sometimes I start like five games and get around to them whenever. I've gotten a little better about since I joined Backloggery. And I came up with some tricks to help motivate me like not removing games from my "Now Playing" list until I've beat them and dating the last time I played them. Of course I'm about to loop around and games I last played June 24, 2014 is about to come up.

The last guy is tough. I always had to get Fry's Brother to get it for me.

[chionos]

I like to beat my games. Dirty naughty games. Don't talk back to me, FFXIII. I'll put you in your place. I'll beat the shit out of you even if it takes me the rest of my life to do it. I'll beat your ugly, slow ass bloody. Don't think I won't. And when you're dead, I'll beat your sister FFXIII-2. Dirty whores need a good beating.

I try to beat games even if they suck. If I've started, I want to finish.

[Depression Moon]

Only game I haven't beaten that I care to because it's good is Advance Wars and what's preventing me is its difficulty.

[Neptunia]

complete games? looking at what I have completed and what I have not and intend to or have not and forgot I even have, completed games is a bit of a foreign subject. Sure I beat FF7-13-2 (ignoring 11 cause its mmo) and a couple of RTS and pokemon games. oh and KH. beyond that I tend to get distracted or bored of a game and leave it so long I have to restart cause I forget what to do next :( .
