Games that become less interesting when...

[4RM3D]

I've noticed that when I am playing games, they become less interesting the closer I get to the end. The game starts out interesting, but can't hold my attention long enough. This is happening a lot more than in the past.

For example I have tried to complete Assassin's Creed II but it's just more of the same through out the game. I also still need to complete Fallout: New Vegas. I've already put many hours into the game. But I am at a stage where I have become a demi-god and there are no challenges left, while I still have to complete the story. There isn't enough of a pull to make me play till the end to see how it all unfolds. I guess if a game has a deep and intriguing story I want to stick with it till the end (except if the gameplay is so sucky it ain't worth it). But games with good (implemented) stories are rare nowadays.

So, what's your take on this? Do you have the same problem? And what makes you wanna complete the game?

i dont have the same problem but the only reason i complete a game is
A:to see if they let me continue playing it only with really badass items
Or
B:Cheat codes
and option c
to see the ending

I felt that with both Oblivion and Fallout 3. I was hooked from the start and I did a few side-missions and explored a little bit here and there... but it wasn't long before I'd strayed too far from the main storyline and I lost interest. In both games.

I've since beaten Oblivion, but I'm still not even halfway done Fallout 3.

A: The story is ruined for me because some twat decided to tell me everything without any prompting whatsoever
B: The gameplay is ridiculously repetitive/grindy
C: Stupid characters or a REALLY stupid story.
D: I get stuck.

I admit that most of my games I've never actually finished.

There are a few games that I've lost interest in, but I eventually end up going back and finishing the game. The most recent example I can think of is Borderlands. I just kinda got bored with it when I first played it. I think the only reason I finished it was because a friend came over and we decided to do co-op and we beat it then.
