Forums - Gaming Discussion - CNN: Only 10% Of Gamers Finish Their Games

Seems plausible. My backcataloque of unfinished games is huge.



updated: 14.01.2012

playing right now: Xenoblade Chronicles

Hype-o-meter, from least to most hyped:  the Last Story, Twisted Metal, Mass Effect 3, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Playstation ViTA

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.

This was probably the case for years, especially in the 90s whent those games were hard as hell



LOL, and people complain that games are too short nowadays.

the article is true. I haven't finished over half my games yet i continue to buy more.



I must have ADD when it comes to games,because I tend to get into a game,then never finish it,trade it in to buy more games,that I will never finsh. It's a never ending cycle.

I have very few games that i haven't finished, and strangely they're all on the DS. Bomberman DS (the early one in 2005) was too boring, Final Fantasy III DS had a weird setup before the Point of No Return before the final boss that made grinding for the final boss far more trouble than it was worth, so i just dropped it, FF Tactics A2 had a semi-final boss that was cheap as fuck (who the hell gives an enemy with wayyy to much HP the ability to instantly fully heal itself any time it damn well pleases?), and Izuna 2 had a maddeningly difficult final dungeon

I didn't finish it either, it was a fun game, but it had some horrilbe and unnecessary difficulty spikes that in the end just made it worse and make me leave it. Plus, you couldn't buy Phoenix Downs, what the heck?



All I get from this is that gamers nowadays are idiots who fall into hype and don't realize just how many games outright suck. I mean I don't finish a lot of the games I had, but that's because I never even started them to begin with since they came in a huge bundle with 20 games I got off of steam. The ones I wanted to get through all get finished.

If I own them, I probably beat about 75%. If I rent them, probably 15-20%, just because they weren't good enough to buy or I wasn't sure if I would like it, so the 15-20% are games that I liked enough to actually beat.



Systems I Own: PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, 3DS, NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, PS1, PS2, Dreamcast, Genesis/Sega CD, Atari 2600, Atari Jaguar, Game Boy, GB Advance, Game Gear, Intellivision, PC, Xbox, Sega Saturn, Virtual Boy

The achievement they're talking about in Red Dead is a secret achievement, raptr doesn't track those properly so using that as a measure is just nonsensical.

For a secret achievement to register you have to use the client, most people don't therefore secret achievements all have a much lower unlocked percentage

Supports my opinion that games do not sell because of quality but because of marketing...

It makes me wonder about every other industry. How many Tools, Clothes, Books etc. are bought and never used worn read...


i absolutely agree
