I'm the opposite Randi. I too get bored of games really quickly, so to counter act that I buy a load. I never complete games - not because I can't, just because I get bored of them. Lets look at the ones nearby on the desk ...
Swat 2 - Shitty budget game. Only ever loaded it once. Crap.
Dawn Of the Dead ..... that's a movie. Next.
Training Day ... see above.
Medieval Total War - Wicked game. I am an elite general. Played Shogun a load, so not so much excitement in thus one for me.
Soldier Of Fortune 2 - Played it once.
Carmageddon TDR2000 - Pretty good. Played a couple of times.
Severance Blade Of Darkness - Awesome game, but when you get to the later levels where the monsters keep respawning behind you, it just gets totally shit, so I stopped playing that on principle. Crap ending to a wicked game.
Mafia - I did complete this one, but that's purely because its easy, short, and the story line is engrossing. Its like watching a movie.
Sacrifice - Budget. Never even installed it.
Worms 2 - Good for a laugh with some friends.
Colin McRae 2 - Bought on budget for multiplayer. Played it once multiplayer.
Unreal 2 - Completed, but as will all FPS games it was a piece of piss and can't have taken more than 4 or 5 hours in total. Waste of money.
Grand Theft Auto 3 - Never completed but played loads. I lose interest in the missions and just drive about. Good game though.
Homeworld - Played a couple of times.
Warcraft 3 - Played a couple of times but its shit.
Darkbasic Pro - Ooo .. played that a fair few times. Still not completed it yet. Can't figure out what to do in it.
MorrowWind - Really good game to start with, and then you realise it's a totally soulless and shit RPG with no depth to the NPCs, and then you get fed up of it.
Shogun Mongal Invasion - Played a million times with my house mate a couple of years a go at uni. He used to do the stategy and smoke cannabis while I fought the battles and drank beer. Brilliant. Never bothered to complete it though. Battle take too long towards the end.
Vietcong - Has its faults, but wicked multiplayer. Played loads multiplayer. Couldn't be arsed with single player.
Operation Flashpoint - One of the best multiplayer games ever. Nuff said. Never completed single player, cos it takes to long to redo a mission when you die.
Toca 2 - Played a fair amount multiplayer. Completed a championship on expert mode, so YES A GAME I COMPLETED!!!!
Dungeon Siege - Boring now. Completed single player, multiplayer campaigns and all secret locations. Another thoroughly completed game. Definitely got value for money out of that one though.
Thats just the stuff on my desk. Got shelves more behind me. Why was I going through this? Oh yeah - my point ... well my point is, I love games, but only the rare few are worth completing because they offer something great - the rest you just complete because you havent got bored of the same old thing yet. For me, I get bored of the same old thing really quickly.
ermm .... so what was the whole point of this?
Oh yeah - Randi, no chance. My only weakness is my nutts and they're out of your reach.
