I'm not sure if it's because of school, work, or my age but lately I have found myself unable to complete my games. I used to be able to play through RPGs like they were nothing. I remember cranking out KOTOR over the course of 3 days when I was in high school, and then I booted it up again to play it as a bad guy. The last game I actually completed was HeartGold but that wasn't much of a feat because I played the original which wasn't much different.

Games are prettier and more feature filled than ever before however I'm just not feeling a lot of games these days. So far this year I have picked up Monster Hunter Tri, Zack and Wiki, and Muramasa for Wii and I haven't finished a single one of them. I like all of those games but I've lost that ability to just sit and game for a few hours.

You may be thinking, "But those are just Wii games. How about stuff on 360 and PS3?", and while I don't own either of those systems currently I've played a lot of those games. I completed Dead Rising, Gears of War, Mass Effect, and Blue Dragon when I still had a 360. I really enjoyed my time with Dead Rising and Mass Effect. I thought that while both games had some very apparent flaws, their execution and fun factor lasted throughout the entire experience.

On the PS3 side, I played a lot of games but I don't think I actually finished any of them. That's not a knock trust me because I had a PS3 about three years after a 360 when I was already starting to game less. I can jump into sports games, fighting games, and pretty much any other non-narrative focused game easily still. But I just cannot finish single player campaigns anymore and it really does bother me.

My most recent example would be trying to play Fallout 3 a few months ago. Here is a game that I know for a fact is great, but I couldn't keep playing after I left the hatch. It just didn't grab me and I really couldn't believe it. 2 years ago and that game would have been a dream come true, but now it just felt almost stale. So how do you guys feel about finishing a game's single player? Do you almost always finish your games? Are you just more into multi-player stuff now? Same boat as me?

i was addicted to online gaming back in 2005-2008... Now i cant play as much as i did those times... dont know why but its not the same... maybe because Xbox Live is getting older and me aswell but i cant play as many time as before not because i dont have the time but because i dont have patience... Even with tons of friends over XBL -.-

I complete allways my games but i cant do all the achievements anymore... i completed Gears 1 15Times Gears 2 only 3 and Gears probably 1 when cames out... The same for others games in other years... i played Pes 2 back in Ps2 and Ps1 all days over 4 hours now i dont even buy Soccer games... Well thats me and i think many people... Some new gamers joining XBL are now in their "Golden" era mine has gone 2 years ago... i had 30days on Cod4 2.0 K/D Ratio... now i have 3 days on Mw2 and the same for others games... Playing more Reach now... also had alot of games in Halo 3... Now i cant play that much anymore i complete a game once and thats enough... i still love games , cant wait for Fable 3 and Black Ops but i lose some kind of interest... But new people is born everyday and they will eventually "Replace" bored people with games... anyway i will hopefully be a gamer all my life but not just i was in my 10-16 years... i have 19 now.

It depends on the game for me, a singleplayer has to be really good if it has to keep me hooked until the end.

I didn't complete Fallout 3, because at some point, it just started to feel stale.

I didn't complete Heavenly Sword because the end boss is a bitch, and I couldn't be bothered.

I haven't completed Dragon Age: Origins, and although it's a good game, I want to have many hours I can dedicate to RPGs like that at a time, and I rarely have that anymore.

I didn't complete Red Faction: Guerilla, because the singleplayer got stale. I felt like I had seen all the game had to offer, and I hope they make the new one more varied, because I love the tech and what they're accomplishing with it.

I haven't completed PixelJunk Shooter because it doesn't feel all that enticing.

I haven't completed Braid, because I got stuck and I want to complete every puzzle as I go along (yup, this thing can keep me from completing a game. It happened with Bioshock and almost happened with Trine. I will finish Braid though. )

It's on a game by game basis really, but I hate it when I get the feeling in a game that I've seen everything the game has to offer, and everything from here on out will be variations on this. Red Dead Redemption is a great game, but I'm having a really hard time getting back into it and finishing it because of this.

I am exactly the same way right now, having 2 hour sessions with gaming has become such a feat for me it's unbearable. I at a point in where I have 20 PS3 games and personally haven't completed any myself. It is not like that am that busy anyway.

Welcome to the world.  I used to be able to play games all day and all night.  Now, even when I have a day off from work, I don't really get hyped to play games like I used to.  Now if I could just learn to stop buying them.......but yeah.  You're normal.

I felt the same exact same way one time; but then the feeling went away, which gave me a re-assursance that it probably just a phase or a temporary loss of interest. Recently I havent been playing much due to school work. The great thing now is that my school week is over; I got a small break so I can play my games again; plus saturday night is poker night. This week is going to rock.

I tried playing Origins too. I got way too caught up in the relationships and burned out after I completed the mage tower section. I think my being a completionist is very counter productive now, but it's a carryover from my JRPG days. I always needed to get every treasure chest in a dungeon, but games are so big now that eventually I just overload.

I have this problem too. I hate it. I seldom complete games that aren't great. Or at least easy to play through (like, a mediocre shooter is easier to play through than to invest 30 hours into completing a mediocre RPG).

You just need to force yourself to play them.

I have lots of unfinished games and I actually don't want to play them, but sometimes I just say "screw it" and put one in my 360 and simply play it and usually I really enjoy the time playing the game.

However this feeling is always present when I'm thinking about which game to play, so play first and think later.

I've never been able to finish games except TTMJ and COD, Halo - cause they can be done in like 6 hours.  If it takes more than that, forget it!

Hell, I couldn't even finish Hellboy!
