Why do you keep buying games you don't finish?

Because I have fun playing them, why else? I am a father, husband, and business owner. I don’t have as much time to play as I used to. It’s been two months since I played Horizon Forbidden West, and I forgot the controls. I don’t want to re-do it. I had fun while it lasted.

Fair I suppose. I'm a working adult as well but I tend to finish one game before starting the next even when they take me months. Seems like you're blueballing yourself on some great stories haha

I completely agree. It’s just hard. I started the FF7 Remake as well, and pretty much forgot the story up to this point. It’s hard to find the time.

May I suggest you look into the indie scene if you haven't / are interested, lots of amazing games that you can get through in 10-12 hours, most of my steam library these days are all indie titles.

I did enjoy Cuphead a whole lot. Still can’t beat it, but it’s some of the most fun my wife and I have had playing together.

Fuck dude. I've got a couple dozen games I'll never pick back up because I don't remember the controls. But I remember the story too well to play through it again. I can't remember what I ate for breakfast yesterday, but 10 years later I can remember the plotline of most games I played.

Why is this a foreign concept to some people? You play games to have fun, when you stop having fun you move on. I've seen this sentiment a couple times and it's kinda upsetting.

I was just asking? From my perspective it's like watching 3 out of 4 acts of a movie, you miss out on the best part.

Not all games are actually trying to tell a meaningful story. Honestly feels like the minority. A lot are really just gameplay-focused romps.
