- I've only actually beaten about 10% of the games that I own. Usually, I get stuck, lose interest, or become distracted by other games. I'm trying to change this though.

Then when I failed (after trying to OD on pills), the only system I ever got back was my Sega Saturn because my parents were so pissed about it, since they bought it for me for Christmas, that they called my friends' parents and then drove to their house to get the Saturn and games back. I never did ask for my other stuff back from my friends. But I am glad that my parents got my Saturn back :)

Wow, I'm sorry to hear that man. I've been there, it sucks. Glad to hear that you're in a much better place in your head these days. Gaming is excellent for that.

Hmm, that might have been worth it :oops:
So did you have the Ultima Collection? I don't wanna be "that guy" but I think it just had a preview of Ultima IX, not the entire game.

I used to have it too, but lost it somehow when moving out my parents' house. It's worth a decent amount of money now. :?

I've fell victim to multiple games being overhyped before I played them, leading me to be dissapointed. OOT and Bioshock both fall into this category, with Bioshock leaning more towards a "not the type of creepy that I expected" with a bit of "not as good as it should have been described."

I'm also very bothered by certain games in a series being worthwhile when others aren't. I found the original Halo to be fun, with the others being abysmal. I also felt that way about the Super Mario series, and believe I will fell this way about the Bioshock series when Infinite comes out.

That's because the games that did what Bioshock promised happened a good ~decade earlier... Just saying.

I hate Earthbound. I find it extremely boring. Im fact the only reason I haven't sold my copy is because my gf gave it to me for christmas. It sits on a shelf collecting dust never to be played again.

Also I have only beaten a handful of games. I buy them and never play them. I just like researching and collecting them more then playing. I love the history of it all. I own Little Samson and have never played it.

I own nearly 40 games on the Wii, and I have only beaten 3. Again on the x360 I own nearly 60 games and only seen the ending to Alan Wake (Great game).

Retro, Handhelds and mainly PS3 gets the most lovin' these days
