I do, generally. I've gone back to games years later ;)

That said, I can tell within half an hour if a game's worth persisting with at all - Lovefilm has saved me a fortune recently. Take Binary Domain for instance, a character continually repeating stock phrases will just never work :roll:

One of the commentators mentioned GTA4. I'm not surprised many people didn't finish it. Even if you do persist to the end, the final mission is almost impossible and sometimes just straight-up doesn't display properly! I've never finished it, and it's probably the one game like that I never will :evil:

Never finished gta4 (had it on pc and 360 though!)

Got to 99.7% in red dead redemption, didnt like the dlc though so barely played it

other than that I'm pretty good, finished MTG 2013 already and just grinding out the achievements currently

Red dead was the closest I've come to completing a game in recent years. Only got some windflowers to find and some wildlife to shoot. Might try and finish that one off. Not sure I even got halfway through Gta. Boring and rubbish gameplay. A step backwards from san Andreas IMO. (which I completed)

:?: The last game I properly finished was Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.

I also played Halo 2 on co-op with my housemate and finished that on legendary (eventually).

Oh, also Super Mario Land, Super Mario Land 2, Super Mario World, New Super Mario World, finished all of them :D

OK, more coming back to my mind now.

Half Life 2 (+ all episodes so far) and Portal 1 and 2.

I complete most games I play. In recent times that's included:

All of the Mass Effect series (including trawling every bloody planet).
Crysis, Crysis Warhead and Crysis 2
Oblivion was very close, I think there were one or two ad-hoc missions that I'd not done but they were fairly trivial and isolated. That did amount to over 500 hours of gameplay.
Baldur's Gate Series.

I am notorious for starting games and not finishing them. That said, I have made an effort in the last year or so to complete games rather than buy new ones - for example I recently completed Max Payne (1) for the first time.

I think I was short a special horse from the main game

I very rarely finish games, even if by finish you mean 'get to the end of' rather than 'score 100%'. It's simply a time issue. I simply have not enough free time to devote to all the things I'd like to do, so lots of 'non critical' things end up half-finished (this is also true of say books and DVD box sets...) Of the current generation of games I've only finished... all three PS3 Uncharted games and Mass Effect 1. All those were interesting enough to compel me to put pretty much all my free time into playing them.

Now I remember, I also finished Dungeon Siege 3, which actually wasn't that good a game at all. Odd.

I don't really play the kinds of games that can be "finished".

The last one I finished was Delta Force: Task Force Dagger :oops:

If I can finished them I do.
Some are just way too hard though. Commandos: Behind enemy lines was so hard I could only get two thirds of the way through.

Most recently, I played and completed Skyrim and Arkham City. I never got round to finishing Hard Rain (think I barely got a third of the way through), Red Dead Redemption (managed to get south of the river), Assassin's Creed 2 (bought it second-hand and didn't really enjoy it), GTA4 (just crap).

Generally yes although for things like Skyrim I finished the main plot but did not hunt out every side quest possible

The thing that annoys me a touch (and it really is a minor complaint) about Skyrim is you cannot complete it without playing through it at least twice due to choosing sides for the civil war side of things.

Erm...

You can sort of do it without choosing a side, you do the diplomatic thing where the sides make concessions to each other
