Poll: Why don't you finish your games?

[StormShaun]

Its like Bioshock for me I got confused in the levels and it got boring real easy (since you have X infinate lifes) but I am going to come back for it.....but mabey in 8 years

 

[Woem]

I just have too many games to play, and too little time.

Then buy less games and play them till the end, instead of buying all those games and not playing them through?

 

[monkey_man]

other .. actually a combined of a few things if it isnt fun at all i usually dont buy it( i research/watch trailers) and if it is repetitive at a point of totally dullness
or if it laggs or looks VEEERRRY ugly ( i mean really ugly.. i am used to badlooking games)

 

[Meaty Turtle]

Other, I suffer from Gaming Attention Deficit Disorder. More commonly unknown as G.A.D.D.

 

[Ultress]

I have another game that overshadows It. I swear I'll beat wild arms 3 after P3,after P4,After DMC 4... .

Alot of time though I'll stifle my progress because I just don't want it to end.

Difficulty will factor in some time like Digital Devil Saga where I got to a wicked hard boss that I could grind and get more fire spells but I just don't want to.

 

[Conan_Edogawa]

i keep meaning to come back to them but either don't for so long that i just start a new game so i can get used to the controls again, or it just takes me a while to get back to them, cause i like to multitask and play several different games, rather than focus on just one, and my memory is terrible so i'll forget that i'd been playing one game.

 

[Thyunda]

Often I just lose interest in the game, and play something else for a while. Few months later, I suddenly feel like playing the first game again.
And it's for that reason that I never sell a game.

 

[GoldenRaz]

I know of only two games that I've stopped playing due to them being boring, and that would be Splinter Cell: Double Agent on PS2 and FF7 on PS3 (downloaded).
The first just sucked and the second was simply boring, but I'm going to finish FF7 at some point.

 

[Iskenator67]

I get sidetracked by work, other games, and just things I need to get done. However I almost always make it point to come back and finish them up at some point in time.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Mainly it's because it isn't any fun.
Or if I have to repeat long quests several times, because of some tiny mistake that ruined it everytime.

I like to get it right the first time, or not run very far if I don't.
I'm looking at you GTA IV.

You think that's bad, try the one before it... flying across the entire map in a boring ass plane journey only to miss the stupid hoop and have to start the entire mission again.

And goddamn those cross country races...

Only games I can think of that I didn't bother finishing were Far Cry 2 and Psychonauts.

 

[Dr. Wily III]

Because they bore me to death like most JRPGs

 

[Cartman2nd]

Well, people told me that Fallout 3's ending sucked hairy balls so I've never really completed it.

 

[XJ-0461]

I either get stuck on a level or just get bored of it.

I've never stopped a game because someone told me the ending was bad, though. I like to play through the game and formulate my own opinion of it.

 

[murphy7801]

I never have always complete

 

[damselgaming]

I had a good 10 month break between starting and completing Uncharted. When the crazy demon things started attacking and you were thrown into a dark underground nazi hospital I just gave up.

 

[Pyotr Romanov]

Lately i've been into JRPG's and I don't think i've cleared one except for TWEWY.
Routine:
-Play the game for about 3 days
-Get stuck at boss
- Don't want to go grinding because i've grinded enough in WoW.

Oh, and somehow I only get random encounters when I don't want them, and when grinding it takes me 5 minutes of walking back and forth to get attacked...

 

[Nemorov]

If there is something in the game that makes me repeat it too many times because of some physics engine whim then I am likely to put the game down out of frustration. Usually, I can come back and blast through it unless I've waited too long and have replaced the motor memory of the game with something else. Then I have to start over, which usually makes the whole process easier, if a little tedious.

 

[the1ultimate]

I always finish games I like, or games that are at least moderately fun to play.

I can generally tell pretty soon if I will like a game, and shelve it right there or play through to the end.

Theoretically though, if a game started to introduce stupid plot devices half-way through or started to repeat itself too much, I would probably be forced to pretend I never started it.

 

[Federalist92]

For me its too hard.
Not that i quit easily.
But when i keep getting killed on the exact same spot and im redoing the same five minutes of a mission for two days i get so angry that i want to snap the disk just to be spiteful to the disk!
And the disk doesnt even have feelings so that crazy.
I start thinking its out to get me.
So then i buy a new game and do that instead.

 

[Erja_Perttu]

Shadow hearts 2, got really into it, put down the controller to make a cup of tea and BAM! it's six months later and I'm still at the beginning of the second disk. I loved that game in the end, it was awesome.
