Forums - Gaming - Do you complete a game before going on to the next one?

I have like a dozen of X360, DS, PSP, PS3, Xbox, Gamecube and PS2 games that I have not finished or touched yet. But for some odd reason I will always go to the game store and buy more games to add to my collection. But it just seems that I cannot finish completing them.

Like for example on the PSP, I have currently Silent Hill: Origins and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. I enjoy both games but it seems like I want some more PSP games. Like I want to play Metal Gear Acid now and God of War: Chains of Olympus. 

I just can't play one game I have to play multiple games.

Is it something wrong with me or do you guys feel the same way?

I am the same. I still haven't beaten MP1, MP3 (I don't own MP2), SMG, Zack and Wiki, Sonic: SR, Skies of Arcadia, NiGHTS, FFXII:RW, FE: PoR, KOTOR (I am at the end, but am underpowered so I can't win...), WarCraft 3, and a few others perhaps... And I was looking at buying Okami or MK:Wii or Wii Fit... Sheesh I need to go back and beat these.



See I just think we as gamers. Just like so many games and we can't find the time to just play one title.

I like to play multiple of games, but sooner or later those titles that I stop playing began to fade away and I forget about them.

I'm the same way.  I still need to beat RE4, Z&W, MP3, and a few others.  I am easily distracted and got hooked into playing SRW again in the past month which ate a lot of my gaming time.  Brawl isn't helping those games either.

I finish all my games eventually though. 



You see I can get easily distracted into playing other games quickly. If I find something that is hyped real well or has some awesome gameplay. I just drop what I'm playing (loose interest) and play the next big thing.

Kinda how Gears of War was until Halo 3 game out. I haven't played BioShock yet. So I think BioShock is about to take my time away from Halo 3 and a few other games I play but quit playing because of the lose of interest.

Good, I wish I had your mentality :)



I'm the exact opposite. I never start a game till I at least finish the campaign/story mode of the last game I was playing. Gets too confusing for me otherwise.



Usually, if I receive numerous games in one sitting (aka birthday or Christmas or what have you) I tend to leave some games behind. I'm definitely a completionist at heart and tend to focus on one game at a time.

Umbrella Chronicles and Batallion Wars II are collecting dust right now... but I'll get to 'em... eventually.



I guess I will be like you guys.

It's so hard because once MGS4 releases. I want to play that game so bad. But I haven't completed MGS, MGS2 or MGS3 to really satisfy my MGS needs yet.

I guess I will just today complete the following:

X360: Need for Speed: Most Wanted
PSP: Silent Hill Origins
NDS: Mario Kart DS
PS3: Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction

Gosh so many systems with so many games. So now I don't have to buy anymore games, because I have enough already.
