Ha-I'm have the opposite feeling. Middle-way into the game, I'm thinking "My god, why doesn't this game end already. I want to know the story." This is probably why I play RTS games more often.

I was like that with the first Kingdom Hearts.

I was so close to tears when I beat Orcarina of Time. So close.

Yes, and I have this especially with FF games.

I did when I finish Phoenix Wright 3 and was like... awww, the next Ace Attorney game, Apollo Justice, doesn't have him as the main character, and there aren't Maya and Pearl. =/

Sort of: Recently, I tried playing Master of Orion 2 again.  This time, though, I decided to pursue the highest score I could get.  Toward that end, I kept expanding my empire well past the point it would have taken to destroy Antares.  This time, I decided I would take the game to its OCD conclusion: I populated the entire huge galaxy, developed every planet as far as they could go, and filled them with as many people as they could take.  And at the end, when I looked at the galaxy map and saw a shining sea of green, and one white system belonging to my enemy, I felt strangely depressed: The game hadn't simply been decided some 400 turns ago, there was literally nothing left to do.  There were no buildings left to construct, no population slots left to fill, nobody to conquer without ending the game.  At that moment, I suddenly understood why Alexander the Great wept when he was told there was nothing left to conquer: What if you had fulfilled the most difficult endeavour of all time, earned everything, and there was no longer any doubt that you could succeed in anything?

Then I switched off MoO2, and went online for a few rounds of Half-Life 2: Insurgency :P 

What Rol said. ;)

 Lulz, don't leave us will ya =p.;..Haah great times;.

I can remember when I finished FFIX and was enjoying the epic ending sequence when my father came in and said 'Sjeez don't tell me you get emotional of a stupid video game'  Go outside their are so tasks waiting for you, be a man god damned;.


Since then I was starting hating my dad..

FFIX <3.

I consider it a compliment when I finish a game; buying the game is just a courtesy to good developers/good quality.

The only time finishing a game leaves me with a sense of regret, is if the climax is unfulfilling because the game felt truncated or unfinished and the dev left little or no reason to go back and play through the world they created again.

Typically, if I enjoy a game enough, I'll play through it more than once, just as I would watch a favorite movie on multiple occasions.

Happens with books, happens with movies, happens every week with LOST ;) and of course happens with video games, I was so sad i finished FFVI, specially because I knew that no matter how many times i replayed it, nothing different would happen, I felt I was being left out of the rest of their lives, and they felt like family, I wanted it to continue, I wanted Kefka to come back, just to have a last go against him.. same with OoT, SMRPG, etc
