I don't end up finishing most non-linear games. I end up fucking around doing non-linear shit for like 30 hours and then a new game comes out and I play that instead.

Yeah me too.

It always happens when i play any GTA game.

I don't care for the length of a game. If Monster In My Pocket with 1h length or Samurai Warriors wich i played about 200h. I think people who don't finish a videogame play are just not really interested in videogames, they probably buy 1 game a year.
If thats the main costumer you don't have to be surprised that 90% of all videogames doesn't get finished. Wait...who the fuck cares about this anyway?! This thread is retarded.

Your post is retarded, not only is it hard to decipher, but it also makes no sense.

So if someone doesn't finish a video game they don't like video games and buy one game a year, and they are the main customer? If they buy on game a year I'm pretty sure the industry would be out of business. Multiple people have already said they get caught up in multiple titles, therefore not completing them. The fact that they are in the video game section would seem to me that they like video games.

Lastly please don't post in one of my threads or anyone's thread for that matter if you can't make a single complete, coherent sentence.

I apologize.

Apology accepted. Wink

For shmups, after a 1cc you can try to do it again on the hardest difficulty and keep failing miserably. And still have fun anyway Very Happy

And anyway, games don't need to be completed to be fun. There's a bunch of games I never completed but still had a lot of fun playing.
Usually it's not because a game bores me that I don't finish it, but because I started playing another one and eventually forgot about it. Confused

Not gonna lie, I laughed at this.

One of the reasons I'm really into shmups on the XBox is because you "finish" them on Day One. Of course, finishing a shmup isn't really an accomplishment, the accomplishment is performing a 1cc (one credit clear) and that takes time and practice. But it's something I can pick up at any time for any amount of time and have fun.

I beat Darius Gaiden in two credits on default settings. I felt very accomplished that day.

Most of the time, if I have not beaten a game it is because I stopped playing it and started something else, and have yet to get back to it. Sometimes it takes me years to get back to a game and when I do, I just end up starting the whole thing over. Then there were games like Morrowind, Oblivion and Fallout 3 where I did not want to finish the game because it was more fun for me running around collecting unique weapons/items. eventually, I beat the games, but I spent far more time doing random shit in them.

And then of course there are the rare occasions where I just don't bother because the game is a piece of shit. This does not happen much anymore, as I research carefully any games I am willing to spend hard earned money for.

I prefer variety when it comes to my games. Sometimes a short game is good, sometimes a really long game is good, it just depends. I would be disappointed if only short games were produced, and would likely not play as many new games, unless they cost far less to purchase.

There are plenty of great old school games for me to play for the rest of my life, so in the end it does not matter if they make anything new at all.
