    I usually get about 3/4 through a game and then move on to something else. This also goes for movies and books; it is a rare thing that I finish anything. A product has to keep me entertained all the way through, or I will simply lose interest.

      I finish about 80% of the games I play, 5% or so I try for completionist; those I do not finish are ones I lose interest in or never gained any, or they were too bugged for me to complete for whatever reason.

        Always finish the game unless it's really boring or crap game so i find no worth in finishing it.

        I love good story lines and strategy.

          I usually only play one game at a time ? I try to finish or get to the "end state" depends on what genre, not much of an achievement / trophy hunter. Very few games besides mutiplayer or sports will get another playthrough. Finished 70% of my collection.

            I like to finish games and i dont as often as i think i should but im also fine with playing something for 30 hours and feeling like ive had enough without completing it. I've become a much bigger fan of shorter 6-10 hour games because i can complete it and move on to something else. I dont 100% stuff like i used to in high school just because i have so many more games available and far less time than back then.

              It's unusual for me to finish a game. I usually play competetive FPS games, which can't be beat. Also, some of the achievements for them are damn near impossible.

              However, recently I have started feeling the hunger to collect steam achievements and get perfect games. Maybe it's because I have an achievement showcase on my profile. Anyway, whenever I sit down at the comp and don't know what to play, I just look around for achievements I haven't unlocked yet.

                I never finished Skyward Sword. I got bored and lost interest around the 7th trip to the same location...

                  I like to play the games for their stories and gameplay. I try to %100 the story and at most i'll do 3 playthroughs. I will never %100 complete a game because I don't want to burn myself out on a game just in case ill want to revisit in the future. Some games I take a long while to complete (Mostly Indie games and Dark souls) since im either frustrated or play in bursts so I take a while but I get it done

                    I try to beat most games that I play. If I pay for it, I want to get as much entertainment as I can out of it. If I lose interest because it's boring or bad, I won't force myself to play it, I just trade it in. If I really like a game, I'll do all the sidequests and get the best stuff. Sometimes, I'll get 90% thru a game then realize that I didn't like it.

                      Depends on the game, if it's good, I'll of course complete it. Otherwise if I don't like it, I get half way through; then I simply can't be bothered any more and I watch the rest on a playthrough.

                          I do finish games in terms of seeing the end of a story, not in the autistic all achivements way.

                            It depends on the type of game. With some I'm a completionist - have to find all the everything and get the skill points/achievements/trophies. Spyro and Ratchet and Clank come to mind here. With other games I don't worry so much about it - ignore side quests if I don't feel like it and just complete as needed to progress. A lot of the games I play are sandbox so apart from any achievements to complete, there isn't a defined "finish" to the game.

                              I finish games I enjoy. I don't want to take a double loss on money + time wasted trying to finish a game I don't have fun playing.

                                Very rarely doing 100% except when I dont want the game to end (like Hollow Knight). If the game is ok but not great (like Sundered) I just do "bad ending" (quickest possible route to end credits). But overall I think I complete most games I start playing. Sadly its not very many games that are appealing to me that I have not already played
