| lolita said: Iono but I always finished all the games I bought and I finished some rentals too. Of course maybe I didn't buy as much games as some of you did, but still... I think it's a waist of money to play only half of a game. Why even bother having a console if you don't even finish the games you start? O_o I'm sorry I don't want to flame or anything I'm just trying to understand you points. |
In my case, I probably don't finish half the games I have - and I have far, far too many games.
The thing is, sometimes I buy a game thinking it will be one way when it's another; it becomes a letdown, and I decide to just give it up.
Other times, the game has me stumped to the point where I leave the game for a year or so (so my mind is fresh) and then get back to playing it.
Sometimes, the games I buy are not for my enjoyment, but for family/friend/group enjoyment. In fact, that is the number one reason I bought the Wii (haven't finished Super Paper Mario nor Twilight Princess, nor Metroid Prime: Corruption because they are single-player games. However, the party/multiplayer games are all finished.
There are many reasons why I (or perhaps others) don't finish a game. To wit, here are a few concrete examples:
Doom 3: Too "scary" for my tastes now - need to relax more, not less!
Manhunt: I found the gratuitous violence a bit excessive. (I guess being a father changes you quite a bit more than first expected!)
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Got this game only to play online with my brother in law, but the online code was virtually unplayable, so that game will probably never get played again - not unless the developers fix the multiplayer code.
Twilight Princess: Never finished any Zelda game - not my cup of tea really, and this one was no exception.
Escape from Monkey Island: Stuck and gave up! It's been, on and off, six years now trying to figure out the same !@#$%^&* puzzle and I finally threw in the towel and deleted the save game.
