Don't worry, you can't help it. You're too busy sleeping in drawers and stealing stuff :P

Hahaha! You're a Christmas clown. I love it.
I don't see it as a problem or a bad habit if something new piques your interest. These are recreational activities that you are talking about - to stick at something just to complete it in preference to something else that you feel like doing more is just as arbitrary and actually makes less sense to me. Or is it that you like them so much that you don't want to have finished with them (and therefore no reason to go back to them)? I am glad that you enjoyed finishing Oxenfree, though. It's strange to me that you say its spookiness surprised you - that's why it's on my wishlist, so I'm happy that you confirmed that.

It's not that I didn't want to see them end. It's just my attention span, I think:)
That's why I want to make a conscious effort to finish games, cause yesterday was great!
I SAW CREDITS OMFG
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah, well, I'd find it hard to worry about that unless it pervades other aspects of your life. For example, if you could never get your work finished because you continually get distracted, that would be worth analysing, but I think it's pretty healthy to be capricious about how you enjoy yourself. If you can't do as you please when you're just trying to enjoy yourself, I think you're doing yourself a disservice and coming second (not in a good way) at life.
I guess I can understand your satisfaction in reaching the credits, but the credits themselves do absolutely nothing for me, and I am more likely to maintain attention through the credits of a film than those of a game. However, it's making you happy (this week, anyway ;-P) so keep going for it.
Here's something that made me happy today:

I've got a bad habit of moving on to other stuff myself (be it games or other projects) but my track record for finished games is still better than yours.

Congrats! I'm similar where I just don't finish games, thankfully I do sometimes!
Recently, I 100%d Dreamfall, Goat Simulatorand Rocket League (again) and I finished Valley, Submerged, ABZU etc!
Currently working on my win Mafia 3 now though! Its fantastic! <3
Just try sticking to a couple of games and rotate! Thats what I do :3 Happy gaming :D
Edit: Forgot to ask. How was Oxenfree? Thinking of playing soon :3
Comment has been collapsed.
That's awesome, those are lots of games:)
No kidding about Rocket League, I've 100'ed it like 3 times now -_-
Oxenfree was... spooky. I'm a HUGE coward, I get scared super easily, and I had no idea it would be a spooky game. So that one night I was all alone, decided to play it, closed all the lights, put on some earphones... I was caught off guard >shudders<. But I really enjoyed it, voice acting is important for me to immerse myself, and Oxenfree's was great! I really enjoyed how you could have conversations with characters while walking about doing your quest... picking what to answer, and influencing the conversations and friendships with characters like that ~ it was neat!

Rocket League didn't appeal to me at all (even marked "Not Interested" in Steam), but your "trophies" make me want to get it and play it until I'm good, too.

Another person that finished Submerged!:) What did you think of it?:)
As you could probably tell by the dozens of screenshots I have from the game, I absolutely LOVE the game.:)
Comment has been collapsed.
I know the feeling, I too quit games early often. But it's mostly because I grow tired of the (self-inflicted) grind.
For example, Far Cry series, I always play the first few missions, then I do ALL side missions that give me upgrades (because the scenery is awesome, and I like collecting stuff), then, when I resume with my main quest, everything seems way too easy, all my gear or stats are way overpowered, I get bored, and I quit. :(

Doing so many sidequests is great dedication in itself:)

Indeed, that's why I've played Skyrim around 10 times, spend hundreds of hours, but never actually finished the story line.
That reminds me.. time to install it for my 3-monthly routine!
Comment has been collapsed.
I can relate to that for Far Cry 2 & 3. They needed a "The idea of missing any detail, however seemingly trivial to others, hurts me deeply: I will max out the graphics options and I will hunt down every little secret - please don't let me become some sort of invincible gun-toting mega-ninja because I'll get bored" checkbox.

Congrats ;) I started playing Skyrim and I never finished it.

+1 but skyrim is a game that demands 100s of hours to complete, "doing a quest, oooooooh a new cave, I wonder whats in it. 1 hour later, what was I doing again?"
There is simply to much to do ^^

Back then I was living with a roommate and we split the cost for Skyrim for my ps3 and we would alternate playing on our own files, and kind of compete to discover things before the other. That was the push I needed to finally finish a game >smirks<

I remember doing the same thing with my brother and sister when we were younger and had very few games. I remember doing speed runs of pokemon red (I believe I won with a time less than 5 hours) and 100% Zelda Seasons and Ages, which was really cool because I had to beat Ages and transfer over to my brother's game Seasons in order to fully complete the game.

Well done! I am at 25 completed games currently, but that is still far from the point I want to be ^^
And you have me really stumped with Q3 :)

I can't FOR THE LOVE OF ME 100% binding of isaac. It's so GODDAMN FRUSTRATING!!!!!
Comment has been collapsed.
I know the feeling. I am currently stuck with saints row 3, all the missions till now are no problem, but I keep dying at my current one. I have the feeling that i failed 20 or more already -.-
Comment has been collapsed.
I am doing the same for binding of isaac as we speak but not sure if I will make it as it is getting the stage where it is feeling more like a chore than a game to me....I keep asking myself as I have so many games why do I spend hundreds of hours grinding one game?.....but for now I will continue.

You don't understand, I'm only missing 2 challenges, the no damage challenges, and then it's game over, I win, but the game is so unfair and AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Comment has been collapsed.
I used to do the same, only started to play games till the end in uhh 2012 I think. Even played a bunch of games I used to play back in ye olden times and finish them for the first time. Last year I finished all Half Lifes (lives?~). (I used to be scared of Half Life 1 so I never got more than 5 minutes after the 'accident'). Well, that is not to say I don't have a sizable "Started" category on Steam...
BTW, I really liked Revolution. Too bad it got cancelled. Billy Burke is great.

Meaning the story never ended for the show? </3 Ouch, I really liked it
Comment has been collapsed.
This also includes TV shows I really enjoyed, such as Gotham, Revolution, and House MD, that I randomly stopped for no reason
They are fun, they are enjoyable, then like something clicks in you, suddenly you're not interested in them, and can't even regret it :| at least that's how it is with me

Yeah, it's something like that ... I'm going to get back to Gotham though, I heard there's a new character now that I would LOVE

There is opposite situation with me... i finished almost every game i played :)

Achievements are great, they appeal to my need of completion more than my need to procrastinate.
I can think of a few things, don't know which ones apply to you -
1.) You don't want to complete things because then you'll have withdrawal afterwards. Another way of putting it, you'll "miss" the game after it's done.
2.) Short attention span. This is me in a nutshell. Play a fun game, another game comes along that I want to play. Play that game, never go back to the first game.
Ooh a piece of candy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmvLexamrmk
3.) Lack of motivation. You want to do a lot of things, but then you don't. All talk and no action!
Maybe the task takes a lot dedication that you don't want to put in the effort/don't have the time for. Or maybe you don't feel like you're progressing and then give up.
Not meant to offend you, so if any of that did - sorry.
You're on fire? Better put it out!

I think it's mostly #2:). I tend to want to try lots of things so I'm always left and right >smirks<
Although it was definitely #1 for Tales of Symphonia, I remember getting so sad getting near the final boss. What a journey it was, I couldn't bear to see it end... so I closed the game forever.

If I'm enjoying a <insert activity here> a lot, I never finish it, because that way it never ends.
Does that make sense? 🐱
I'm not crazy I promise 😺

You're crazy
I kind of get it, but if you mean you never finish it because you are always continuing, I think it's different (; You're always getting better and better at it!
Comment has been collapsed.
I guess that's a pretty common habit, although a very mysterious one, I mean, the f***ing final boss is right in front of me, but no, I gotta do everything the game has to offer before beat the final boss, the "everything else" is quite tediuos and I kinda give up for a while, and this "while" lasts forever >.>

I have the theory we the people are afraid of finishing something we like because, well, then it's finished.

It was definitely that for Tales of Symphonia... I got so sad when I saw I was at the final boss ;x

I played like 15 times Skyrim from the beggining till the last mission before completing it for the first time. I just didn't want to let it go :(

Clever!
Never been in a riot, never finished a game. Perhaps I should (if I could)
Comment has been collapsed.
For real? I usually need to finish a game before going to another, I've my games that play all year (like in this moment is Overwatch, FM2017, Fifa 2017 and Pokemon X) but all the others i start and end it before going to another one. Couldn't leave things midway if i was enjoying haha
Edit: Entry number 13, let's hope it brings luck^^

hurraaay for boo...Lady Santa! :D
Congrats :D
Please complete more games in the future!!! :D
i had the same problem for 2 years, since i start on Steam. (few years ago) - Because i have to much games. And i start every hundreds of games, at the same time. :D
Now i start only 3-5 games coincident, And i want to finished that straightly!
And hey since last year i completed 126 games :3 (work interrupts this progress :D )
Comment has been collapsed.
Congrats! You're like the opposite of me lol..
I usually finish games and tv-shows, unless I stop enjoying them, but I rarely finish books.
Another opposite case is Skyrim.. I played it for like 150-200h, but I never "finished it" :D.
I'm 100% certain I will at some point tho, it just keeps getting pushed because of new games getting released.
With games like the Elder Scrolls -series and modern Fallout games, I tend to leave finishing the main quests as the last thing.
I want to do all the side quests beforehand. In Skyrim's case I just never finished the main quest and I never did a couple of other big questlines, but other than that I've done everything in the games probably.
With books I just can't seem to be able to sit down and just read for a long period of time when I'm at home, so I only tend to read when I'm away from home.
I might start a book when I go on a trip, then continue it months later when I go on another trip, maybe finishing it like a year later, but often I just won't finish them.
Depends on the length of the book too I guess.. If it's short enough I'll probably finish it in a couple of trips, but I often tend to read books that are 700-800 pages, which rarely get finished.
Comment has been collapsed.
I guess we complete each other :^)
I don't know why unfinished books bother me so much when unfinished anything-else doesn't really. It's strange.
Sometimes I take a loooong time finishing a book (like 30 minutes per day), but I end up finishing them:). Unless they really don't hook me.
Harry Potter was my favorite collection!

If I really enjoy a game, I always finish it and even try to go for 100% achievements. Sometimes, I get bored of the game I'm currently playing and switch to something else, but I always come back and complete. Congrats on finishing!
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks!
Yeah I'll try to do that too:)
Complete games I enjoy, and just drops games that I don't really, as there are so many games^^. It was just ridiculous that I kept dropping games I was really enjoying haha

Yesterday was a historic evening for me. I completed the game Oxenfree, which was the first game I've actually played to the end since Skyrim on the Ps3, like 5 years ago.
I've always had the habit of playing games and stopping midway to try another game... Tomb Raider, Witcher 2, Victor Vran, Pokemon X... are all games I've enjoyed but randomly ditched. Even Tales of Symphonia, one of my very favorite RPGs, I stopped right before the final boss (;.
And when I think about it, it's not only games that I don't complete. Hobbies such as singing, playing the piano, the guitar, nail art ( I mean nail polish not hammering nails to a canvas:^) ), are all skills I've picked up partly and then moved on from. What's my problem? D:
This also includes TV shows I really enjoyed, such as Gotham, Revolution, and House MD, that I randomly stopped for no reason. I'm mostly okay with books - those I usually finish, thank God (;.
Anyway, last week, I was thinking about it, and I decided to push myself to finish games that I enjoy! Perhaps start collecting achievements and perfect games sometimes too. Yesterday, I was going to try some random game, but I lit up a candle, made some tea, and forced myself to finish Oxenfree. It was awesome! The game is great ,and witnessing the ending of a game is an amazing thing!
So yeah. Watch me, because I'm on FIRE now!
Oh, and I may have a couple of games for you guys:)
Good luck!
