Lady Santa completes her first game in 5 years! (GA over - closed!)

Sounds like a terrible problem, let's hope this one victory will cause you to finish other things as well!
Lately my problem is that I don't even start things because I don't want to commit to finishing them! :D I've been trying to overcome this but it's just so darn difficult.

Bump

Grats on finishing Oxenfree!

I am horrible with games too :(

I want to finish them, I really do!
But real life gets in the way.....sick husband.......stress......
And I have a horrible attention span, I get distracted SO easily: oooohhhhhh new shiny game, must play that!

I am almost halfway through Murder Soul Suspect.....but I left it ages ago when I realised that I could no longer get a certain achievement because backtracking was impossible! Need to get back to that one, and start over it is good!

I recently got The Long Dark and Ori and the Blind Forest and am super exited about both of them and want to play and finish them!

But......I also want to play Dishonored, Assassin's Creed, Skyrim, The Witcher, Bioshock, George is still waiting for me and a little Elf and a Gnome need some help too...........Giana gets impatient if I leave her too long.......and.......
I am hopeless........

I have every intention to play all these lovely shiny games!
But having intentions ins't enough!

maye I need an intervention!?

Ohhhh.....they now have a game called Intervention! ROFL
Not sure if that was what I was looking for!

Congrats, I know the feeling.

Mazel tov! Strive for perfection!

I was thinking about why I never finish games and I know that a lot of my single player games never really get finished (or it takes me forever) because I'm usually playing multiplayer/co-op games. It's kind of a bad habit I guess but what can I say, I love playing both sexually and non-sexually with others :3

It just makes games more fun at times, especially if you're playing with the right people!

Congrats! And trust me i know the feeling all too well. I have yet to finish my first game on Steam
So good on you! Btw seems we share some hobbies like Nail Art lol i got all pumped bought a salon worth of nail polish (my room almost resembles a salon much to my hubby's disgust rofl) a a small fortune worth of tools and supplies but have never actually have the time to use them :(

A peek at a corner of my bedroom ;)

Congratulations!! I am in the same boat as you - no clue why I'm such a flake about finishing games - well to be fair, sometimes I get stuck and have to wait until I visit with my son (and get him to get me past some area that I just can't beat) but then the thrill has worn off and I've moved on. This is kind of true with TV series too - sometimes it's just too long in between and I fall by the wayside.

Im hurting my head over the question 3, can't figure it out.

Congrats on finishing!

I finish (nearly) all games I play but these days it seems to take longer and longer. :p

Solved, bump. And gratz, I kind of envy you, don't have much time to play now and so many games waiting... :(

haha sometimes i do that too, even though i love the game... sometimes because i am not in the mood for this very specific games, sometimes because i want to play another , sometimes because i don't want to actually finish the game (i remembe rkingdom heart <here i was in front of last boss, but didn't killed it because i wanted to finish the game at 100 % (killing secret boss and upgrading my spaceship like crazy)... and in the end i still didn't finish it years later lol Thoufg i do finish some games (re cently brutal legend, battlefield 1 campaign, alien rage unlimited)

well, anyway, congratz :D

achievements may not be the best way to finish the game as there is a lot of them which force you to grind and that is killing fun of most games
I can't finish a lot of games because i"m kind of perfectionist. I'm often playing on one of the hardest levels available and it makes my playthrough longer and unfortunatyely I can't play as much as 10 years back :)
On the other hand playing on easier difficulty often makes game too easy and borring (unfortunately most nowadays games plays just by themselves)

Congrats Lady Santa! I only have 5 games 100% completion x[ I'm too stupid to complete the puzzle. Dx

Bump

That's so weird. I could understand with boring games or repetitive games. But games with a great story or really fun gameplay I can't even imagine, usually I can't wait to finish those. Perhaps you can start with small games that can be finished in a few hours :)

I stopped right before the final boss (;.
now i remember i did it with star ocean on PSone
and thats after i compited first one on gameboy emulator in tiny window

Congratulations! I gifted Oxenfree to myself for Halloween and played at appropriate time. I spent ~4 hours in a row, then suddenly it got late and I decided to go to sleep. Sadly I didn't really return to game since then, so I know the feeling :( I loved the game though, it's amazing and characters feel really alive (much more alive and believable for me than, for example, in The Walking Dead). I will definitely finish this game (maybe even today) and later will go for additional walkthroughs to see how my decisions influence the events. For now, Merry Christmas :)

I got a problem finishing great games. They left a void in my heart when I finish it.
That's why i never finished Skyrim :D. no main, no dlc and no mod. Hehehe
One more thing. You did great Santa. I'm proud of you <3.

Congrats on your game completion ^^, There's something satisfying about finishing a game, but I'm more like you. Its a rarity for me to complete one.

casual bump and congrats on completing the game.

I want to ask, what are some game that you want to re-play even after completing it?

Bumped! Oxenfree is awesome, just finished it yesterday. Now I'm on my second playthrough, continued same timeline. That is a great touch from the developers.

I am trying to go for full completion (achievements as well) of a game, but now despite clearing all story chapters to 100%, I still don't get it. It's the universe telling me not to bother finishing games :p.
