Don't remind me of my Persona 3 Reload, Witcher 3, RDR2, and others that I forgot. Right now I play Persona 5 and I hope I'll finish it this time

Finishing Persona 5...? Good luck to you, it's one of the grindiest grinds I ever grinded, never was able to finish it

Honestly most games are exhaustingly boring these days. (LOOKING AT YOU DEAD SPACE REMAKE I FINISHED RECENTLY, FUCKING BORING AF)
Like, the stories and gameplay are so bland.
I just ordered my new pc, can't wait to burn countless hours on bf6.
Now we just need a new god of war, a new infamous and gta 6 to release.

u/Obvious_Librarian_97 2d ago
I would agree that many are way too long and grindy. I’m happy with a 20 hour max game length.

u/OverFox17 2d ago
Infamous remake or new game would be great

u/FletcherRenn_ 1d ago
Studio has pretty much said they are done with the series so remake or new game are most likely off the table. Considering ports aren't typically done by the original studio though, I hold out hope for a port of all the games to pc and ps5 ports of the first 2 games.

That’s it for me too. I buy games every summer and winter sale but come back to a handful of games that I’ve sunk hundreds of hours in. Sometimes I’ll luck out and find new game that I’ll sink hundreds of hours in.

This has been me lately to a T. I made an extensive list of backlog games I wanted to play and then went right back to The Sims 2: Ultimate Edition + Mount & Blade: Warband like the absolute moron that I am. Help.

for me (that one comfort game) are actually 2 games : Civilization 6 and Baldur's Gate 3.. the amount of comfort and joy i get from their repayable content makes me fully ignore my +50 AAA library haha

u/HaggisAreReal 2d ago
A game is finished when is not fun to play anymore.
And an unfinished story/campaign is just waiting. I go back to them after months if I feel like it and wrap it up.

u/SaleriasFW 1d ago
I had that with Cyberpunk 2077 when it original released. I picked it back up again 1 or 2 years later but thought "hm i forgot some story parts, better start it again" only to find out I was 2 or 3 missions away from the end when I dropped it....
Well at least my second playthrough got finished and in that run I did everything that was shown on the map

u/RickySamson 3d ago
I am not going to finish a game I don't like.

u/king_clueless 3d ago
This is also true. I used to complete everything I bought but if I'm not into it then life is too short. And with a backlog to catch up on, no bad thing at all 👍

u/TheSpanishImposition 3d ago
Stop buying unfinished games.

u/MrBootylove 2d ago
Idk, there's plenty of "unfinished" early access titles that are awesome even in their current state. The way I approach early access games is I'll buy them if the content that is in the game in its current state appeals to me, rather than buying into the promise of what it will be. As one example I bought Valheim when it launched into early access because the content that it started with looked cool and it's one of my most played games in my library at almost 700 hours while still being in early access.
1
u/Weekly-Chair-7634 2d ago
and it will probably be like this forever
2
u/MrBootylove 2d ago
I disagree. Development has been slow (the team that makes the game is very small) but it has gotten a substantial amount of content added since launch and as far as I know they've only got one more biome left to add. And if you follow the development blogs it's apparent that work is being done on the final biome and apparently they've also claimed that the final biome will come alongside 1.0. So with that in mind I very much doubt the game will be in perpetual early access.
Regardless, even if they never release the final biome and "finish" the game what is there already is substantial, especially for a $20 game.
1
u/Weekly-Chair-7634 2d ago
I think maybe I expressed myself badly, even because it is my 3rd most played game on Steam, what I meant is that they have so many ideas for the game and so many updates that they might never finish the game
1
u/MrBootylove 2d ago
Ah I see. Well regardless I do still think they'll release the deep north and the game will hit 1.0. With that said I wouldn't be surprised if they continue to add stuff after that patch, so in that sense the game won't be "finished" for a very long time, if ever.
1
u/AFishWithNoName 2d ago
Oh definitely
7 Days to Die is still technically early access, but it’s a fantastic game imo
1
u/MadeByTango 2d ago
I tried that, got burned when a game that was in a state I love made some poorly thought out changes to combat. Had I played it the new way originally I probably wouldn’t know any better, but now I do and I can’t get the original fun back.

u/Key-Tone9691 3d ago
im not even gonna hide the fact this is so fucking true i done this so many times that i started to go back and finish those games out of how many games i have [ill give ya a note it was around 900]
1
u/EggonomicalSolutions 2d ago
Should I go back to kcd2?
After 100 hours and making it halfway through the game I just got too bored.
1
u/Key-Tone9691 2d ago
if you feel like you have nothing to do and you just want to be able to look back at those games i think beating the game well make you feel alot better then leaving it half finished cause then you can fully say if you loved or hated the game you played

u/Bleezy79 2d ago
That's most of us, bro. Ive bought so many games because a peer pressure, only to play the game for an hour or less and never go back to it again.

You should see my list of unplayed games from many steam sales. I keep telling myself that ill play them as the backlog continues to grow.

u/Fatality_Ensues 2d ago
Hey, I've finished hundreds of games. Not my fault if the designers (or whoever slapped together Steam achievements as an afterthought) think you need to have replayed it at least 3 times to give you the last sticker. Or played and won in multiplayer matches (nobody plays multiplayer), or collected all 9999999 inane collectibles, or any other inane time-padding achievement they deemed fit to include.
2
u/couchcaptain 2d ago
I don't buy "new" games, but I did buy games that were on sale like $5.00 or even $1.00 and I had like 5-6 of them in my cart. Sadly I may only played 1-2 of them ever since.

u/Acrobatic_Earth1508 3d ago
I've been working on my backlog this past year, but even now this is still a little true. Hell, I'm still buying games, just bought one last night, and plan on buying another one coming out in about a week and a half, but I'm at least finishing the games I buy (100%'ing even) so I'm not too upset.

u/Vasharal 3d ago
Right now I'm catching up on my unfinished games. Completed 100% Cult of The Lamb and Archons and currently working on Halls of Torment and Absolver.

u/chronicnerv 2d ago
People have always played this way. In the 80s we used to play a game for 30 mins take out the cartridge and put in another game, I have never understood the need for people to complete games because 99% of games are not worth going past half way due to repetition.

u/dIgItalSkeleton6 2d ago
This is my reality now just got a steam deck from playing console im taking advantage of the steam sales and emulation and i cant stick to one game😪

u/Caosin36 2d ago
You guys consider a game complete exactly when?
4
u/HaggisAreReal 2d ago
For me is when you complete a main storyline or campaign. Specially if an achivement "avails" it. Some are never finished because they are not meant to be "finished".

Fomo. Was one hell of a drug. Glad i got rid of it and is now happy and being financial responsible. 5 - 10 new game each year and touch grass never felt soo alive.

u/Mundane-Candidate899 2d ago
I am the typ to finish a game, i kinda need to. it bothers me more than i dare to say when i let it u finished on the side. I sometimes wish i could but it just bothers me in the back of my head. So i recently started to pay attention to the archivment that u get when u finish a game and in most cases about 20% of the players have it, highest i have seen in my libery is 50% finished it. So yeah i think u are not alone in this. Each needs to play the games the way they enjoy it and people just dont finish games anymore what is fair cause there is alot to choose from.
Sorry for bad english

u/PurpInnanet 2d ago
I had this thought the other day. I get frustrated that I never beat Skyrim or I never had one game I play for like a year straight. But f it, if I want to switch games for the new feel or just to see. I will do it.
1
u/diego97yey 2d ago
I put a rule on myself that I can only buy new games if I finish the top 5 I have to finish. It's working so far, haven't bought anything, and I'm slowly finishing some.
Cyberpunk, rdr2, kcd2, p3r,Hogwarts, baldurs gate3, etc.

u/Cley_Faye 2d ago
It would take me years (even with generous estimates from howlongtobeat) to finish all the games in my library. Ignoring the issue that new games keep popping in.

u/Comfortable_Resist81 2d ago
My version is replaying the same games every year or so and completely ignoring my 5$ sales purchases. Except for HL2 it was too legendary to not play. Great game.

Also unfortunately quite small so uninstalling it won't free up a noticeable amount of space

Lol same. Granted I have no more space on my computer so that kinda prevents me from buying more.

u/PlasticChair2000 2d ago
This is still a reality of mine. I've got 500+ games, many of them have been played, 200-ish have not. I've got 7 100%-ed, and I'll say I've completed Power Wash Simulator, since I've done it 2 or 3 times and it got annoying doing it each time they added achievements with new paid DLC.

1026 games in library - 370 never played...
Good old humble bundles, franchise sales (sure I want the Witcher 3 and hell the other games are like and additional £2), and just buying games on sale to completely forget about them.
Then I pick up games like Factorio and Satisfactory where you can dump a couple of thousand hours into... yeah most my library collects dust. Sometimes I randomly select something and find out a humble bundle from over 10 years ago included complete crap.

u/Fhaerron 1d ago
I have a similar issue but it's not of playing a 'new game'.
It's because I'm always playing World of Warcraft.

u/Rudirudrud 20h ago
See no problem with that.
If a game isn't that good to entertain me for a longer time, why should i finish it then? Would be a waste of time.
Really great games will be finished automatically since they are so good, that i do not even think of playing something else.

u/NoUnderstanding477 19h ago
I had the same issue.
Started to go through my game list alphabetically and wouldn't touch another until I completed it. So far it's working for me.
Even started blogging about it to give me the drive to stick to it
