Not finishing games

[iceballfunela]

Hey guys, when I wanted to play TF2 today, I looked through my steam games and I realised that I never finish my games other than a few like gunpoint and portal 2. And I don't feel like playing through them... anyone have this problem too? I know I wasted money but I just don't feel like playing them...

[Snickerzz]

Ontopic: yea, i never finished bioshock inf or GRID and many other games i didnt really get into

we all be the same

but me is in a big problem

i bought bf4 forgetting i have a 7770 which plays @ 20fps minimum settings

I cant even tell you how many games I have on steam that I haven't finished. I don't consider it a loss though, because i usually do play the game for a good while and have a great time with it, such as Crysis 3 I played for 2 hours, but I never finish them. BF4 was my last day one purchase, everything else I'm going to wait for sales unless it's primarily a multiplayer game

How can you even... That game wasn't that long even! And it was awesome!

[SirRoderick]

Oh I have a bunch of games I never got round to finishing, it's a widespread and totally normal thing that gamers do. Seriouly, like ALL of my buddies have the same problem. Too much stuff to play, you get distracted/bored/abducted by aliens and then 6 months later you never got past the halfway point in LA Noire even though you loved the game

[Valhallatier]

because games these days are lame and the same sh*t over and over again AKA shooters....

I think you were talking about portal 2? I said that I did not finish my games OTHER than gunpoint and portal 2..

Very very true... thats why I try to play indie games where there is at least some originality.

Yeah, I think I first heard it in june 2012... not so sure...but I doubt that it will have community workshop support soon... at least I can find some levels and manually put it in the game folder but there is just too little..

You have a Core 2 Quad Q6600 and 780i SLI(I know its aging but it was high end not too long ago) and you got a 7770? Seems weird unless you got it recently or something...

Sorry, my apologies.

If I look at my games I only left Borderlands 2 unfinished. Found it super boring.

It's massively dull in singleplayer I have to say. Gave it another spin a couple weeks ago and just stopped an hour or two in.

Exactly. I dont get why people praise the Borderland games so much . Whatever, I will never get into that game...

To help me finish games, I started a text document to chart my progress thru games. Currently I am 43 games/storydlc complete for the year. Here is a striped version of the document with just my games completed section, had to also remove links to all my saved complete games.

For achievement screen captures I use this.

To backup my saves to store online I use this program.

Keeping a list like this is a good mental motivator for me. Make it so I have a set point to reference instead of the vagueness of trying to remember. Also I keep a list of what games I buy with info like how much and from where, that I cross off the titles as I finish them. Hoping to get to 45 by the end of the year, not bad for not really starting this till February.

Cool that you keep your progress, but I don't know why you would..

[Sav]

The thing that keeps me from leaving them unfinished are the achievements, with that said if there are no achievements, I too, never finish my games.

Like I said in my post, it is a motivator for me. I like to complete two to four games a month. Having a log helps me. Makes the games I complete more solid to me, even months after I finish them. More or less the reason most people keep a journal. It is a way to have central point for your memory recall to spring from.
