Do you finish an rpg before buying another one?

Kaotic Soul · March 12th, 2003

I have bought rpgs and would always buy another one before finishing the one before.

zerocopy · March 12th, 2003

i buy a new one as soon as soon as some of my rpg's are unreadable

**Yeloazndevil** · March 12th, 2003

I would buy another RPG while playing a RPG, but always finish the 1st RPG before starting the new one

I don't have any NextGen consoles, just PC. I find that for the PC, the good RPG's are few and far between, although the playing time can be much longer than console RPG's. Anyway, last RPG I got was Neverwinter Nights... before that... err... I don't even remember.

In the past though, like yeloazndevil said, I'll buy one before I beat the next, but I won't start playing it until I beat the first one... unless the first one is reaaaaally bad, or the second one is reaaaaaally ridiculously good, but that hasn't happened for awhile.

It all depends. Bills before games. If I can though, I buy more rpgs even if I've still got some I haven't finished. Though usually if I don't finish a game within a few months it's because I didn't like the game and am likely to never finish it.

For console games I always try to at least finish a RPG or get so frustrated with an RPG to the point where I vow never to play it again before I start another.

Note: on those ones I get frustrated, I usully play them again after I've cooled off for about a month

I still have about 15 RPGs still unplayed-nyo, including Xenosaga-nyo. I'm simply too busy with more important things, but at the same time I can't pass the opportunity to acquire them-nyo. Some of them are already last copies in the stores where I got them-nyo.

jegHegy · March 12th, 2003

i voted for no. i generally have a lot of unfinished stuff before i start something new; not just with videogames, sadly :/

nyaa

ste · March 12th, 2003

not always, i have far less time, a lower attention span, and a more critical attitude than when i was younger, so I find myself often not finishing games that aren't "uber" or whatever.
