    1. This is way worse when you dev games, my unfinished projects graveyard is massive

    2. Well I have now installed 98 games that I didnt finish, so I dont think you are only

    3. I am playing since 1.5 years mostly games I started at some point … But that does not stop me from buying all the new shiny games hahah

      To me, it’s about personal preference. I’ve started Dave the Diver three times and never completed it, yet I have 50 hours logged. When I feel like playing, I prefer starting from the beginning, which is why roguelikes suit my gameplay style better.

      This doesn’t mean Dave the Diver is a bad game or that I’m a bad player. I play games to suit my style, they aren’t there to dictate when or how I play.

      im forcing myself through alien isolation at the moment to help with the backlog, there must almost be more game studios then gamers at this point as it takes 3 years to make a game and ive still years of gaming ahead of me

      You say “unfinished.” I say “I played it until I stopped enjoying it.”

      Yeah but swap new game with the same game I’ve been playing for years lol

    8. Nah. I play RDR2 for the 1,000th time because I can’t commit to starting another game.

      Nope, there definitely isn’t an entire meme genre dedicated to unfinished Steam games.

    10. And the skeleton in the closet of that game you don’t even remember buying with 0 seconds in?

    11. And then there’s me, playing a modded Skyrim for the past 7 months while my backlog keeps growing with every sale. Damn, this game just doesn’t end.

    12. definitely the only person. everyone else finishes every single game they buy. we’re built diff

      yep you are the only person in the world OP, im so sorry, we are just bots. Hi! 

    14. Im this way and it used to bother me, but as I am getting older and have less time, I have changed my viewpoint. Play what you are enjoying at the moment, finishing games isn’t a job its a hobby. When I tried to force myself to finish every game it felt like a chore. Wasn’t worth it most of the time, unless the story was really good.

    15. When I was younger I didn’t have many video games. They were expensive and my family didn’t have much money. So, I played the hell out of them and certainly always finished them.

      Now as an adult with many hundreds of games, I always feel this anxiety about not finishing games. I feel guilty if I start a new game without finishing whatever I was already playing. Like I’m obligated to finish every game I have; almost like it’s wasteful _not_ to finish them.

      I’ve recently decided I want to move away from this mindset. So what If I don’t finish? Either the game wasn’t that enjoyable, in which case I was wasting my time trying to finish it; or maybe it _was_ that enjoyable but for whatever reason I just don’t want to keep playing it. And that’s okay!

      I guess it’s the video game equivalent of realizing I don’t have to eat everything on my plate; It’s okay to be full, not want anymore, and leave the rest.

    16. Thanks god , i`m doing well on that one. Just finished The Last Stand: Aftermatch , a small game that I started years ago. Now i`m back to the real monster Crimnsom Desert . 200h+ and still half map unlocked still…

      This is me whenever I play Stellaris, Rimworld or anything made by Owlcat.
