I recently played alpha protocol (I loved the game play, please don't flame me)

Alpha Protocol was a good Action RPG. Yeah that's right, I said it.

On that note I still need to finish Dead Space 2, Enslaved, and Alpha Protocol. I got distracted and forgot about them.

I only don't finish games if some other game distracts me then when I try to play the first game I don't remember what I've done and I can't be bothered to play it from the start, so I just don't play it. It's really quite bothersome. I will eventually beat them all, probably.

I used to be a completionist and finish every game I owned regardless ... then I got crackdown 2 on the xbox ..... barely got through 2-4 hours of that. That and the last Steam sales raped me to the point that I don't have the will to finish some games since I can just start a new one if i get bored

I've beaten everything I own. (Except Demon's Souls because that game is a product of Satan)

I only don't finish rental games if I just get bored of them.

I don't buy any game I can beat during the rental period.
I also only beat games that are fun. No point in playing something 'just because'.

I only finish the games I like a lot.
yeah I'd say I only finished about 10% of the game I've played.

Pretty much the same. Most games end up being stupidly epic. I don't mind a game which takes a while, but then there's games like Fallout: New Vegas and Mount & Blade: With Fire And Sword which are big to the point of completing them being a daunting task and they're simply not compelling enough to see through to the end. Although other games, like The Witcher and FEAR, just aren't good enough to see to the end personally.

I think that article's just wrong. I (and I'm sure many other gamers) only stop moments before A game ends if a) I just can't because the story drags so much it's painful, or b) It's too hard, in which case I'll just keep trying or even resort to some sort of guide.

I must be weird then... Off the top of my head, the only two games that I own that I haven't finished are Red Dead Redemption (I got it late, then got distracted by other games coming out) and Amnesia (which I can only play for half an hour or so at a time... I'm getting there. Slowly and extremely cautiously, but I'm getting there.)

Edit: Oh, and never got through Fallout 3. Starting another playthrough here soon, but the bleak landscape doesn't keep me interested like the different areas in Morrowind or the lush greenery of Oblivion did.

I was surprised to find only just over 50% I've completed, but thats because im going by any game with at least some recorded achievements on my xbox. A lot of the ones i included as incomplete were titles that didnt grab me that i played through the training missions on.

Never finished mafia 2. Got close to the ending then gave up. It was damn hard too.

Im not sure why so many people hate alpha protocol, I mean its buggy and the story is hard to follow, but otherwise its an awesome game, I loved how the perk system worked and how you leveled your character
