Do you have to finish a game, before you start another?

Only GTA series, Fallout, Skyrim. I never play any other games more than one time.

Fable Lost Chapters for Pc. Played it like 15 times. I wish I could play it again, but my CD broke. I think I should buy it again.

Definitely. Oni, American McGee's Alice - I used to complete these two every year for 8 years straight. They were just so DAMN GOOD!

When I'm done with a game, I'm usually just done. I can't play a game more than about 3 times, really depending on the game's quality and my affinity with the game. Off the top of my head, the best example I can think of is Red Alert 2.

And no, I don't need to finish a game in order to go to the next one. Although finishing a game does feel good.

I usually play up to 4 games at once. I'm constantly switching.

No. I usually have about three or four games on the go, spread between Steam, my Xbox and my DS. And if the game doesn't suck, I'll replay it one day, so I won't even start on that list or I'll just list everything I own.

Depends on the game. Some games I can play multiple times, some just once.

nope, im currently play Fallout new vegas, qube, assasins creed,alot of small arcade and indie games and PES. I just cycle through them and im still playing ME2 for the second time plus the DLCs. I just shuffle through them and im close to finishing them all soon. Then i start a new cycle.

I play one at the time. Almost every game played twice.

no, i normally have 2 to 6 games per platform that i play.the only exception is RPGs. normally when i begin playing one i finish it before starting another.

I always play about 6 long games at a time (Shogun 2, Skyrim, Grimrock, Stacking), plus another 4 casuals (Pvz, Flatout, etc). That's a "limit" I put to myself. I must finish one of those 10 games before installing another, so I have variety and I don't go Gandalf when I load a savegame :)

Sometimes I uninstall a game because I got sick of it, but it doesn't happens much (like Hard Reset, which I liked but I had to rage quit because it's too damn difficult)

There are times I play several games at the same time, there are games I played X times back to back and will replay them happily when I get in the mood again (hello, Morrowind and Tyrian, I'm looking at you), and then there are games in which I took a pause so long I'll have to start from the beginning again (yup, going Gandalf), thus at least enjoying the games twice (which happened to X3 and M&B Warband, and which is going to happen to Alpha Protocol and Broken Sword 2 soon). Also, considering I've just almost broken my WASD fingers, I might switch to point&clicks for a while. :-]

Do you have to finish a game, before you start another?
Yes, but in practice it never happens.

It depends...

Usually if it's a long game like an RPG I don't mind not finishing it first, right now I haven't finished Star Ocean 4 but I've been playing other games, but if it's an engaging game like MGS 2/3 then I usually finish those before playing another. I dunno.. If a game lets me lose interest in it (FF12 I'm looking at you) I sometimes end up playing other games but if it's a long game like Star Ocean then I don't mind playing other games before it since I'll end up delaying playing the shorter one

In general I do not finish my games exceptions to ONI, the GTA series, Fallout New Vegas, Crysis (too short) and the Mass Effect series.

EDIT : And the Fable series is one of the only game I play several times!

If I happen to start a new game before finishing another, there is a little chance that I get bored with both and start a new one. That's why I try to play my single player games one at a time, and play LoL too.

Well... it depends on game. Also my the most played game is Baldur's Gate, especially 2.

There's gotta be something that keeps me going, but I tend to complete games to 100$.

Portal 2. Played it four times and preparing for another go. Also, while playing Alan Wake I wasn't starting any other singleplayer game, it kinda helps me focus.

hmm not sure NFS:MW played it many times. ^^
and oh Portal ^O^

call of duty and call of duty united offensive i have played them many times

I have a terrible habit of game hopping, lots of games unfinished. =( Oh well, I enjoy myself, s'all that matters.

I whore all the acheievments then move on.

When i got mass effect, i could not stop playin! I love it :D Buuuut .... Thats probably the only one that i've finish'd xD

I got allot games and i will play so many games at time as i want. I switch in other games alot. But some games i will play to end if it's good and i like it. If game sucks i stop right there and go in other game.
