I have a chronic inability to finish games

a) use the new Steam feature to remove games from your library and remove all 494 unfished games => 100% completion rate
b) get Spoiler Alert - the game runs backwards, so you will start with a just finished gamed
c) hire some of these chinese WOW gold farmers to finish your games for you

Don't buy any new games or bundles unless you finished x games within a period of x. X is for you to decide.

I have the same problem... I blame SG! All I have completed on PC is:

Bastion
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
Life Is Strange
LIMBO
Portal
Portal 2
Thomas Was Alone
Tomb Raider
To The Moon
The Stanley Parable
A Story About My Uncle
Valiant Hearts: The Great War
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
Walking Dead
Walking Dead: Season 2

Go for short games to get a chunk done, and try to do them in one sitting!

Have you asked yourself why?

Remember when I was a kid and payed a few dollars to rent a game and play it for only a few hours over a couple days?

Yea, I actually get a better price to playtime ratio on games I get now on Steam these days.

Barely played games backlog JUSTIFIED.

Same here.
You are not alone.

i purchased a PS4 just to play Last of Us. I have yet to touch it :(

Uhhhh.

Don't look at me.

There is nothing to see here.

NOTHING.

Stop.

Please stop, why are you looking at me?

Okay, fine, I have a backlog. It's huge. Don't judge me.

Play shorter games.

I have 1300 games. 95% of my playtime in the past 2 months is from idling them for cards with IdleMaster.

The game I've spent like 400 hours in the past 3 months isn't even on Steam. Yet I keep collecting more and more Steam games. I know the pain :(

Sometimes, the games just get really really boring and repetitive so you just put it down. It's not your fault the games get really really really repetitive and boring and so painfully boring and repetitive that you just want to put it down. So, don't feel bad that the games are boring and repetitive; it's okay to stop playing a boring and repetitive game because it's boring and repetitive and just put it down and move on to another boring and repetitive game--that you'll probably put down shortly--as it's repetitive and boring as well as other boring and repetitive things.

What I do is play one game at a time, so pick a game and play only that game until you're done. Some games that are long I will take a break from it and go play another one, then come back.

don't worry you're not the only guy who goes "I will eventually play these games"

You don't need to finish games. Just play them until you're bored with it and move on to the next one.

I bought two games today (well, one and a compilation of three arcade games, really) and already 'beaten' one of the games. But since it has piles of characters and different story paths, completing it will take a lot longer.

Unfinished Games + Recording Software X Audio Setup = Youtube Famous (it'll take a few years)

• Only get quality games.
• Use the favourite function in steam and put in the games you want to play the most.
• If you get tired of a game easily, have 2-3 games to switch between, so you don't get tired of a game as fast.
• First world problem. Give away games if you have a hoarder gene :p

Ok the last was a joke, but the others could help?

I usually play 2-3 games at a time, so if I get bored of one I play the next, and I go back and forth. Maybe that could help!

i'm so slow playing that i usually get bored and never finish them. ;_;

There's nothing at all wrong with not finishing games. Once you stop enjoying the game, move on to one you will enjoy.

Gaming's supposed to be fun. I have a job (well, two actually) if I want to work. :P

I suffer with you OP. :(

I hear ya man. I have the same problem. Over 400 games on steam, plus another 400 on consoles and I have only beaten 10 of them.

I have the same problem too!

Games that I have finished :

• Fallout 3
• Sleeping Dogs
• Dead Space series
• Mass Effect series
• Grand Theft Auto V

The problem is that whenever I try to finish the game, I try to be the "perfect". I will try to use the best weapons, best gears, etc. that in the run I lose focus in the game, especially for freeform games such as The Witcher series, Fallout series, and Elder Scroll series. On the quest to be perfect, I usually ran into mods (that are great) that I usually restart the whole game after installing the mod. Or, I found another game, that may prove more interesting.

Have loads of games, typically start them up with the intention of finishing then find something else I'd much rather play.. Best bet I have for finishing games is only pick one game with a clear goal in place.. I want to beat the game.. Work through beating that game and ignore all other games.

If you try to play too many games at once it'll frazzle you and you won't finish any..
