Books, games, doesn't matter, before I muster up the courage to finish, I stop. I have been on the last boss in both Final Fantasy VIII and IX since the years of their release. Woe is me.It isn't that games these days don't warrant the act of completing them; all of the games I have yet to beat are some of my favorite games. I am 30 hours into FFXII and I have the utmost desire to beat it like an erection that demands red hot dickings. Here I am though, with time to kill and I cannot bring myself to play it.
What is the cause of this? Am I just growing out of games in general? I say to myself that cannot be it because when I get a new game I play it for 3 or 4 days straight and love it. Trouble is, like with any stripper you bring home, I am pretty much done with it after that.
I have only played one hour of Okami and not even 30 minutes of MGS3. Yet I would put Okami up there with some of my favorite games.
Maybe it's just time for Gamefly.

I think a lot of us have that problem. It's called "having a life," I think, which is, you know, kind of a healthy thing.
At the same time, it is frustrating. I'm in the exact same boat with Okami. Maybe now that I beat FFXII I'll go back and actually play that.
And for what it's worth, MGS3 isn't really that long and really is worth a playthrough.
I CAN SAY WHAT I WANNA SAY. ITS MY PARTY.
That's incredibly sad. I'll only not beat a game because I've lost interest (you'll probably hate me, but I'm on the 4th disc of FFVIII and I don't like it and I don't care to finish it). In fact, if a game is unfinished, I'll force myself to play it just for completions sake.
I really want Okami. Christmas, perhaps?
Beating a game is one of the greatest feelings in the world. I can't imagine playing an epic RPG 'till the end and then not saving the world.
I think "incredibly sad" is certainly pushing it.
Also, to Derek, it automatically signs at the bottom of each post...
I don't mean that you're incredibly sad, but that not finishing things is sad.
I knew that's what you meant, Dave-cakes, AND STILL.
