How often do you finish games?

December 15th, 2010

Websites like Backloggery exist for a reason.

In addition to best-selling games, PC gamers had more than enough to play this year. But chances are they rarely finished the ones they even bought. The reason: The game of life.

In my case, I might complete one in 10 games I play. Yup, I probably complete a paltry 10% of games I start. A lot of that is by choice. If I'm not feeling a game, I'll quit within an hour. But a majority of it is family, work, and other personal obligations.

What about you: How often do you finish games? 10%? 25%? More than 50%?

I normally always finish games that I buy or else it feels like i waisted my money.

On the other hand if my friends lent me a game I try to finish it but I don't feel the same compulsion to finish it

I don't buy that many games, so I kinda have no choice if I get bored.

I think I'm a member of the 25% club, although I've been making a greater effort lately to get that much higher.

I find the first hour of any single-player campaign is the worst because it's slow, you don't know where you are or where you're going, etc. Once you can get past that, it can get a lot more fun.

Well...i try out a lot of games, not all are that great, so I'm ending with no motivation to end most of them...Probably 15%-25% ;)

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their women!

I'm the kind of gamer that likes to complete the game 100%. If I paid for a game, I better be able to experience everything it offers to get my money's worth.

New forums... Soon™

I used to be a 50%, but now I am working to be a 100% man :3
In the last two years every game I got I have finished, now I have about
4 games to finish that are 60-80% completed, but I cant find the motivation
to finish them, but probably will come to it eventually...

I usually finish all the games that I get. Except for the ones that never end or that take a long time to finish (Mount & Blade Warband).

There are so many games I haven't even touched the campaigns for yet lol. When I do start a campaign though for a game I usually finish it within a day or two (if it has a good storyline).

well, for me I need a gripping game to keep me distracted from things that are actually important, like breathing or concious thought. If it can't do that, playing feels kind of forced and I will either play until I lose intrest or take the shortest clear path to the ending. I complete 65% of the games I get.

I just got in the habit of not quite finishing games. So... 75% I'd say.

I always see it through, 95%. The only reason I don't finish 5% is because they are abysmal, and usually are console ports of immense caliber.
