A nice asshole.
Steam has made me a kid in a candy store with moms credit card.
I think Borderlands 2 was the last game I beat(oh wait Arklash legacy as well), prior to that and since I just play long enough to see all the mechanics and then lose interest because I get bored or something else comes out. It isn't like the games are bad I just stop playing them and there they sit on the self or hard drive until I sell/uninstall them. I go back to them later but I usually get even less play time out of them like Witcher 2, played it up to second boss fight and just stopped playing like three times now it isn't for lack of gameplay or story the shiny wears off and I bail. This seriously happens in almost every game I have played for a decade now, I sometimes think I am just too old but when I see a game that interests me I still get excited so that can't be it.
I rarely pick up physical copies of games but when I do I am a kid on christmas going home, reading the back of the box at stop lights, unwrapping it before I get home so I can have the disc in my hand before I even get inside the house. First night is magnificent, I think about it at work look online for spoiler free tips, rush home get the family in order and again usually have a great time with said game. After that 2-30 hour mark depending on the type of game I just stop playing.
Games I have beaten over the years:
God of War(all of them)
Borderlands 1 and 2
Diablo 3
Arklash Legacy
Half life 2s/Portals
Bioshock 1 and 3 (but no real interest in the DLC)
Red Factions(gravity gun/physics engine just never got old for me)
Farcry 3
Few more I am sure but can't remember.
Amazing games I have yet to beat include Skyrim(despite 200+ hours played) all the NIS games like Disgaea I continue to buy them put 150+ hours into each one but never complete the story. Red Dead Redemption/GTAs, all the Assassin Creeds, I will get to maybe 1-2 hours from end of the story and just not want to play it anymore. Too many more to name but if it was rated highly by any standard I played it. Do I need to be restricted from gaming to enjoy them for any length of time again, or is the amount of games avail make the shiny wear off that much faster? Contra on NES was special because I only got to play it at a friends house on the weekends if his mom was being cool, played the shit out of that first level and it was amazing every time. If I force myself to only play one game at a time I think I will spend less time playing games overall and maybe enjoy them for extended lengths of time again.
Anyone else experience this, found a way around it?
