    Re: I have a confession to make: I don't finish games..

    I think I’m close to finishing my first game since Uncharted 2. I’m playing Dishonored: Definitive Edition and I’ve killed Daud, escaped the Flooded District and am heading back to hounds pit pub. Gotta be nearing the end of the game now!

      I have a confession to make: I don't finish games..

      How long does the Unchared 4 story take? Assuming normal difficulty.

      And to contribute to the thread, My OCD like tendencies will not allow me to leave an RPG game unfinished lol

        It really doesn't take that long if you're any good at video games. I'm not that good at the puzzle parts so I usually have a friend come over and with both of us we can figure out stuff, so mine took a little longer.

        But hey, look at it this way, if I finished it, then it must not be very long because I just don't have the patience for on and on and on games, lol

          Aight cool. If your old a** finished it, it's probably a 10 hour story for the rest of us. [emoji23]

            I was this way most of my life until really this generation. Now I feel like a failure if I don't finish every game I buy.
            These days I'm less like "Jailhouse Rock" Elvis and more like "dying alone on the toilet" Elvis.

              This post inspired me. 😁👍 I had all 3 batman games sitting, Asylum, AC, and AN.I never played any of them before. Just finished complete story in Asylum, I complete whatever I can, but do not go crazy trying to find 100% of stuff, think ended up like 85%. Now cannot wait to start AC this weekend. Also had SE3 unfinished, and started that back up, still ways to go, tough game to complete levels on hard. like 30% done. I have MEA, GR wildlands, the division, and even destiny i never finished either. Sports games usually take most of my gaming time, hard to get others complete.

                    I’m close to the end of “Dishonored: Definitive Edition” as I stated before but have been playing “Thief” exclusively of late. I just can’t get right.

                      Yeah, she does! She says it's wasteful, and really she's sort of right. I guess it's just a lack of time and/or commitment on my part to see them through to the end. I have done some though since I posted this thread so I'm getting better. Still only finish maybe 5% to 10% of what I buy though, which is pathetic really.

                        She's 100% right. Should play one game at a time if possible. If you go between games, it usually ends up with none of them being finished. I know because I used to do this. And unlike majority of people here, I eliminated sports games which just wasted way too much of my time and I missed out on so many games in past generations.

                          I'm on vacation!

                          Car hunting. Celebrating America's birthday. Spending quality time with family and friends. And, oh yea, finish up 3 games.

                            Yes! Just finished Dishonored: Definitive Edition. Just the core game though, no DLC. I may play again at some point though. Sam was pissed at me when he dropped me off the last time so I’m pretty sure I got the bad ending.

                            I’d upped the difficulty to hard shortly before taking out Daud and with that change, there was a noticeable shift in my play style. I tried stealth but if it broke then it was kill at will.

                              I am like this to an extent, myself. I finish some games, and don't finish others. Or sometimes I'll go back, pick a game back up that I was stuck on, and try to finish it.

                                I think the biggest common sense tip I’ve seen regarding crushing backlog is, regardless of how much your peers love a game (or reviewers) if it doesn’t resonate with you just drop it and move on.
