It’s not my fault they go on sale faster than I can finish them
At this point all my unfinished games are called “demos”.
Gamepass ultimate: try before you buy
Suddenly a personal attack on me harumph
For me I don’t even start
I’m actually doing this things right now where I’m finishing up all the things I already own before buying anything new. And at first it was cool but now it kind of sucks because I’m remembering why I quit in the first place. This month I’ve finished up far cry 6, cyberpunk, and dying light 2. It’s all so mediocre
I almost always play about 60%, give up for 5 months and then finish it.
I really need to stop playing Genshin Impact /s
Don’t go to the room of un-started games…
Games are so long nowadays, too. How am I supposed to finish a 60+ hour game as an adult with adult responsibilities? Usually they start to feel really stagnant way before the end, too. Just doing same shit over and over until it’s finally over.
The games that I have finished have all been 15-20 hours long and frankly, that’s enough.
I have like 3 or 4 games that I started but still haven’t finished.
I have so many games I grab from steam sales and free epic games I have a ton of games I never finished or started
In my defense the sale deal is too good to ignore lol
I got 2 platinums in the last week so my clean up is going well, started going for another but then download 2 of the ps+ games for this month so… Yeah. New stuff for the time being.
It’s ok, Steam sale is in a few weeks.
Shhhh, Immortals Fenyx Rising might hear you
Why you gotta call me out like that
Just like my unfinished books.
Tekken 7 as of this morning
Doom Eternal, Darkest Dungeon, Bloodbourne, Watchdogs: Legion, and Elden Ring.
Watchdogs is easy but all the others hurt my feelings.
Lemme give you some advice.
**It’s okay to not finish your games.** Yes, really. That whole backlog thing? Forget it.
Play your games until you’ve had your fill and move on, there is nothing wrong with doing this. it’s also perfectly okay to play a game and decide you don’t like it, and put it down forever.
Try to refund your impulse purchases if you can. Did you buy a game, play for 10 minutes, and went right back to browsing the steam store? Refund that last purchase, you’re probably not going to play it again. Get your money and don’t look back…. you may even be rewarded as the same game could be on a deep discount later.
Life is too short to get caught up playing games out of some ridiculous sense of duty to finish all of them. If you’re struggling to play *anything* at all then it probably means you’re overburdened and overstimulated by gaming and gaming news and need a break.
Do what feels right, and take care of yourselves.
I’ve been doing this for ages
I’m just now going back to finish Guardians of the galaxy, Wasteland 3 and Metro Exodus Enhanced
For me it’s unfinished game 1-4 and Squirtle on the right is old game I’ve played many times and keep going back to.
I’m working on three games right now, slime rancher, kena: bridge of spirits, and assassins creed odyssey… and the playstation store just released a huge deal on dark souls 1, 2, and 3… I bought them all
I have a few, a couple I haven’t even started yet because they’re sequels. Does it count if you’ve beaten them on an old system, but not the new one? Lol
I can relate so very much. The only game, out of all of mine, that I’m almost finished is Mario 3D world 😮💨
I still have a few PS5 games that I’m excited to play ….. in factory-sealed shrink wrap…..🤦🏻♂️
Figured it was about preordered games.
Games should not be a job. If you had your fill, that’s good enough.
I am like this but with play-throughs.
sad
But is this because games are getting more samey and boring or because we are getting old and have played so many games that we are hard to amuse?
Still got God of War, LA Noire, Elden Ring, and Horizon Forbidden West on the backburner. Switched out Horizon for Borderlands 3.
No. I do not relate.
Wait, is this about players not finishing games or is it about studios not finishing games?
For me it’s “Game I haven’t even started”
See Suirtle Squad, upvote Squirtle Squad. It’s that simple.
A friend of mine opened my eyes to the concept of not having to finish a game. I used to grind and even feel tasked to finish even just the main story before I moved on.
What’s the point? He rarely finishes games. If a game is incredible he’ll finish to completion. Otherwise he plays for game mechanics and story until he looses interest.
I have tried this with a few games. Especially being in my mid 30’s with a family, I have enough time for a few hours a week after everyone goes to bed. It’s more fun to just play something fresh, than to grind the same area AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN (looking at you sekiro). It’s not like I’m done forever with the games when I move on, but if I can only take 15-30 of losing I’ll move on for a few months and come back to it later if I want. If not, just try new games completely.
In my humble opinion, ya’ll simply purchase too many games. Full stop.
When you were a kid, and you first fell in love with gaming, did you have the ability to get every single game you wanted? Fuck no, you got one game at Christmas and one on your birthday and you played the shit out of each game until you could get a new one.
So what if you miss a sale? Just be patient until it goes on sale again lol.
We know y’all like unfinished games. I seen the hype over Cyberpunk.
That’s nonsense, I’ve completely finished Elden Ring

‘s starter area, Limgrave.
Whoooaaa now, I come on here to have fun not get called out.
And they want 70$ for those unfinished games
when you have money but not the time.
I thought this post was gonna be about the state of the gaming industry and how companies love putting out unfinished products nowadays
Not me, I finished 109 games. There was a period when I’d download games to finish their campaign and move on fast to the next ones. A lot of games that I wouldn’t play nowadays.
Now that I’m older, I am more selective and take my time.
Who still buys new?
I bought Minecraft in 2017 and I still haven’t beaten the dragon.
Funny how this is accurate for both gamers and game devs
