Current Events > Do you feel that you have a good ratio between games started and games finished?

(+) Yeah! (+)

If you had to guess, how many of the games that you start do you actually finish?

Hahahahaha fuck no

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

How many games have you started since then though?

I'd generally say I finish around 30% of the games I start, if not taking a break in between. My achievement completion percentage is around 17% so I tend to not go for the long run in most games in that regard.

Not really, no. I have a huge backlog.

no it's probably like 1%

Pretty good. I beat probably 90+% of the games I start. Mostly because I know my tastes well enough to avoid the shit I really wouldn't like.

Are we talking about games we don't finish because we just get distracted by other things, or games we don't finish because we just don't like them?

If it's just the former, it's very high. If I don't finish a game I started, I wasn't enjoying it.

But over time, I would say there's been a gradually higher proportion of games I've played that I didn't end up enjoying. Either my tastes have gotten more refined over time or I've simply just gotten pickier. But needless to say, if a game falls under this category for me, it doesn't get "backlogged" or whatever; I usually just drop it.

Both.

Nice.

These days I'd probably put myself around 70%. It used to be a lot lower but it's something I've been trying to improve upon in recent years.

I do beat 100% of the games I buy full price, but those are just a handful. Overall Id say 60-70%

I'd say I finish maybe 40% of games I start, but, that gets up to probably 90%ish if you don't include games I abandon after a few hours (or less).

Ender Lilies is the most recent case where I played a significant way into a game but never finished it. Unless you count games I'm still actively playing, in which case it'd be Asterigos.

No, I usually only finish games I really like. If a game is just whatever to me I will probably drop it eventually.

I tend to finish the games that I start.
Other than games I was playing with my kids that they gave up on its been a few years since I didn't finish a game.

Bump.
