Do You Finish Every Game You Buy?

[gutbub]

Wow, I don't feel so bad about blowing my money on games anymore. I don't complete games as often as I used to nowadays. I just have too much to do. I have school during the day, and work during the evening. Even when neither of those is the interference, it's either another game, or it's my attention span.
Over the past few years, my interest in games has gradually decreased, and my attention shifted to other aspects of my life, that and girls .Oh well, the only thing I can say is, the next game I promise to take the time to complete for sure is, Starcraft II.

i do try to finish all my games, and most of them do get finished, but it's hard to get all the stuff for a 100% completition, but i finish the last boss in all of them

like SMG, i beat the last boss (guess who..) the second day i had the game, so i'm a bit of a nerd when i get a new game but this time i will get all the stars, but the cosmic comets is annoying cus i hate them, i don't like racing with limited time on these kind of games (platformers) so i usually skip them but sometime i have to get them

EDIT: nowadays the games are so short! so if i want two games but i only have the money for one then i buy the longest and hardest of them so it can keep me busy until i get the other one .
and i borrow the wii games from my friend cus he just bought an X360, so he doesn't play his wii that much, i borrowed zelda TP and i just played around 15 hours on it and i'm already at the desert thing i don't have that much to do on my spare time, after school, almost no homework at all or tests, none (almost anyway ) so i play all the time.
i'm studying at the industry program in.. i don't know what it's called in the us (high school?, but in sweden i'ts called gymnasium, and really there's almost no homework there, cus we're in the workshop almost all the time and welding and stuff so we don't get that many tests or homework..
that's the reason i play alot, and i like hacking and do stuff with my consoles that they weren't made to do so i like homebrew alot, the TP exploit is just awesome, i don't have much money, so i don't want to buy a modchip for my wii cus the TP hack is just as good (if not better) as the modchips for playing homebrew on the wii, and it's getting better and better too

You guessed it, we've got another round of TUD, (aka Tell Us Dammit) coming your way. For those not in the known, Tell us Dammit is our opportunity to learn more about you reader person. That way we can feel closer! And perhaps, even for a fleeting second, feel kinda bad when we ban your ass. Here's how it works: We ask a question. You answer it. So! This week, the TUD Giraffe asks:

ok, no, I don't finish every game I buy, sometimes I get stuck and after many many tries, I throw it away.

I only finish it when I really like it

Up until the first few years of owning a Gamecube, I've beaten almost all of my games with 100% completion(all NES titles, SNES and N64, but I was missing a few trophies in Melee). Lately, my brother's been buying so many games that I can't complete them all, especially perfectly. Also ofcourse I'm much more busy than I was.

I have about 80 Gamecube games(~60 actually beatable, the other are collections, etc.) And I've probably beat about 40 of them. Maybe only 30-ish perfectly, though. For example, I've beat Donkey Konga 1,2 and DK Jungle Beat all perfectly, but I'm missing some stars in Mario Sunshine(That's when I was into sucking everything out of games, but Mario Sunshine got too hard, and I just couldn't do it). On my Wii, I've barely beat any of my games. I've beat Galaxy perfectly, but there's SSX Blur, Ghost Squad, MoH:Heroes 2.. Too much to keep up with. I've also beat Guitar Hero 3, but I'm stuck on the last song in Expert.

As for DS, I usually play a game for a bit, then I'm not too fond of playing it too long. Like Phantom Hourglass which I still haven't played. The DS games that I always play through, however, are the Phoenix Wright games.

It used to almost be a personal rule to beat every game, but I just don't have the time anymore.

I don't finish all my games. There are games which I buy and play through multiple times before finishing another game (Bioshock, Gears of War, Jet Grind Radio come to mind). I've probably finished JGR at least 8 times. I also play a lot more online games. Right now I mainly play Call of Duty 4.

I must own close to 800 games now, and I don't think I have finished even 10% of them. Some games I'll simply buy because I want to own them. Most of my favorite games (Final Fantasy, Zelda, Mario) I will finish to completion. Other games I'll get really far and then quit on. I think the more games I own, the less I want to complete them and the more I want to play all of them. In order for me to complete games, I need time (which I usually don't have a lot of).

I'm a huge PC and DS gamer and I finish most of my games, but for those that I haven't finished yet I make it sort of a long-term goal to eventually finish. I avoid using guides or cheats as much as possible, but if it's down to being stuck and never finishing it or using a guide, I'd go for the guide, that is if I was certain I'd never finish it otherwise.

I've completed all 9 (out of 11) of my official DS games that actually can be completed.

The one that comes to mind most often is Twilight Princess. There are two reasons I haven't beat it yet: The Wii is a family console and it's not in my room or in the room where my PC is, and I like to complete all the side-quests before completing the game.
I got it as a Christmas gift shortly after my family got the Wii which was a few weeks after it released.

I got stuck very close to the end of Link's Awakening (Gameboy) after playing through it twice and sort of gave up.
I'm just borrowing it from my sister until she wants it back, which could be awhile and the fact that I haven't had it for very long (compared to some 15 years that she's had it) might be why I haven't finished it yet.

I've barely even touched the single player in Raven Shield because I'm so hooked on the multiplayer.
I bought it for about $8 some 3 or 4 years ago.

I bought Command & Conquer: The First Decade about a year ago and completed Generals and Zero Hour, but I still need to work on all the earlier games, which is like 10 of them. I plan to go from the original C&C and work my way up. I'd say the main reason I haven't put much work in it is because the original C&C has a buggy mouse in XP.

I bought the original Quake recently because of QuakeDS, but I haven't put much effort into completing it either on PC or DS.

Most of the other games I own that I haven't completed are either old games that were given to me and I haven't touched or free games (mods, open source, etc.).

Out of my entire collection, I'd say I've completed about 90% of my games. I'm sort of cutting back on buying new games so I can complete the ones I still need to complete and because my support for mods and open source games has been increasing.
