The "Buy and Never Beat" Syndrome - Page 3

January 24, 2008, 4:35 PM

I have a couple of games that I went out to buy and just never completed them. A few of them I've only played once! It's mostly because I can get bored of a game easily if it doesn't make much sense to me, though that usually motivates me to buy a new game.

I'm terrible for this, when I was younger and I only got new games at Christmas or Birthdays then I had a whole year almost to get into it and complete it. Then when I started getting an income I would go out and buy 3/4 games a week and had at one point on my Gamecube 30 games and when I sold them I had only completed maybe 8 of them.

I'm just not someone who can complete games over a period of a few months in short bursts, I tend to find I can only complete games when I concentrate on only the one title. One of the reasons why I've not really bought a 360, Wii or PS3 is so I can go through my backlog of SNES, DC, PC, GBA and DS games and get them out of the way.

I have a big problem with this. There is so many games i have never beaten that i want to but just end up playing a new game. Just a few of the games i have started, but still have never beaten:
FF VII
FF VIII
FF VIX
FF X
FF X-2
FFXII
Wild Arms
I love them all but i just havnt beaten them yet, i know i need to beat them but i will just go out and by a brand new game before i finish the one i was playing and end up never finishing the one i started. I just got Dragon Quest VIII tonight so that will most likely be another game on this list.
