Did you beat your collection?

Out of 122 games in my collection, I've personally beaten...69 of them.

That's a lot like me. I've watch my wife beat more games than I have in the last few years. She's much more determined to complete something than I am.

ive beaten a handful, during my gaming years i would go on counter strike and diablo 2 online sprees and play them for months with out playing n e thing else. I probally beaten 10 to 15% of my collection.

Same here.

Sometimes I try not to watch though as I want the game to last as long as possible. It happened with Oblivion; once I knew how it ended, that was it. I played some more but eventually lost interest and stopped playing for a long while.
It can be quite disappointing at times. Like with Chrono Trigger...

As for games I've completed... well, I've completed every game in my Xbox collection, - including extras and the like - which consists of at least 23 games - 25, I think.

Yep, much of my gaming time has been spent on the Xbox, but I don't play the Xbox anymore - in fact, a while back I was considering selling it. Still am, actually...

I would say i beat around 75% of my games, I'm going thru a psp stage right now, so far i beat 5 games and still moving along, (currently playing The warriors and castlevania for psp) I'm trying to get thru these..lol

I finished jean d'arc. woot!

I'd say... maybe 15% of my physical collection I've beat. And none of my Steam purchases, except for Portal, though I'll be playing through HL1 and the expansion packs once I beat Deus Ex.
Most the games I've beat are short ones, I tend to get bored half way in a long game, and move on to another. Maybe once I have some free time I'll try and beat the good ones I've given up on.

You know, I totally forgot about my PC games! Crap, now I gotta count again...

Not even close. I prolly have over 40 Atari 2600 games that don't interest me, therefore I'll never play them.

I'm guessing I've completed about 10% of my collection. I've played almost all of them, but I'll never have the free time and the patience to complete several hundred games.

I would say out all of the games I own, I've beaten close to 80-85% of them. Unless of course, I count games that I previously owned at one point. I tend not to keep stuff I lose interest in after playing a bit, as I want things in my collection that still have a nostalgic or sentimental value to them. The only things left unbeaten are ones I plan to get around to in the near future.

If you do count stuff bought and sold, then it's probably more around 60% or so.

Since I dabble in collecting from time to time, I will never be able to say that I've beaten every single game I own. Plus, with the backlog I currently have, it's just impossible to try and "catch up". It's too many games and there isn't enough time.

However, I'm playing a lot of 360 games right now, and I find that achievement points often give me the motivation to play through a game in its entirety, so I'm finding that I pretty much finish any game I start now, which is pretty cool.
