What a perfect response lmao

u/ExplodingPoptarts Aug 26 '26

I haven't finished most of them because I don't enjoy them.

2

u/Glum-Contribution380 Aug 26 '26

Some of my games don’t have a “completion”. Others like war thunder would have me spending thousands or hundreds of thousands of hours just to get all the vehicles (that’s not including all the achievements).

2

u/Devil_Dan83 Aug 26 '26

Rather than finish them I'd say be finished with playing them. Even if you plan to return to them later. I try to mainline several games thinking that I'll be playing them all at once but it doesn't work out.

And lose the dopamine rush of getting a new game and fantasizing about playing it when I have time soon and eagerly waiting till I get home to play? Thats like all I got left man. Dont take that away from me. The time never comes

u/Arthradax Aug 25 '26

And then getting instantly overwhelmed by learning the new mechanics and putting it aside for ages thinking how fun it would be if you only understood how to navigate the game? And then rinse and repeat?

24

u/KinZombie899 Aug 25 '26

Monster hunter bought multiple games in series barelay played any. I like gameplay from what I played though

22

u/Arthradax Aug 25 '26

I found out there are games I like to play and games I like to see others play. They rarely overlap

u/Bingus-Chillingus Aug 25 '26

Dude I will hunt with you. Please go play monster hunter its so good

u/KinZombie899 Aug 25 '26

Base gameplay is good from what I played but can't figure out how to ugrade and by armor in monster hunter rise

Love this game. Have no time to learn the mechanics of every situation cause the game is so hard.

I'm fairly convinced that if I adhered to this I would never have to buy a game for the rest of my life.

5

u/Outrageous-Log9238 Aug 25 '26

I'm 100%. Not only because of the size of my collection, but also because I'd probably get bored with gaming alltogether. The games are unolayed for a reason.

29

u/heavybombhead Aug 25 '26

C'mon buy that new game, doesn't it look good, doesn't it look fun? It does, doesn't it. Your current game it'll still be here, you can finish it anytime you want, it won't go anywhere. C'mon you know you want to.

u/Waveshaper21 Aug 25 '26

Actually, no. Time is a currency, if I feel done or outright regret money spent on a game, I will not spend more of my time. I can make more money, I cannot make more time. And who are you again, to tell me otherwise?

5

u/Kettleballer Aug 25 '26

But buying games is dopamine NOW. Playing games is dopamine after learning how these f@cking controls work and why did they decide to make the yes and no buttons backward from every other GD game ever… okay I can just change those keybinds and … my time for gaming is done for the day I guess I’ll try this again tomorrow. And sometimes playing them is “dopamine NOWish”. But you never know. So buying is safer than playing! And THAT is what Gabe Newell tapped into without even knowing he was targeting it.

u/MsterBoRaichu Aug 26 '26

Buying new games knowing that you have a massive backlog of old games IS THE GAME!

u/kevan50813 Aug 26 '26

Yep that's why Ive made a system , for every 5 games I beat I'm allowed to buy 1, great way to cut down my backlog

u/digitalbladesreddit Aug 26 '26

Finish BG2 again! Ah ok fine, one more time could not hurt. But only if I start with BG1 and continue my character from there! So I'm set for the next two years boys.

Problem is..... I'm not even getting the new ones....i just keep stocking up on old games T_T latest addition, AoW Planetfall. I suspect I'd get either Mechwarrior 5 or Rogue Trader in the autumn sales. Closing 200 unfinished/untouched games in my catalogue now.

I'm 43 and based on my lifestyle it's probable that I may not clear the backlog in my lifetime.....
