We've all done it. We have played a game until the point where it will be completed in just a few more hours. But then we stop. We say to ourselves I'll finish that off tomorrow. Tomorrow never comes. The next day we come up with reasons to not play it. "I've played it a lot lately, and it won't take long to finish anyway." "It's not worth playing right now, I have too much time, It'll be done and I will still have spare time." The game never gets finished.
Just look at my now playing list. Every game on that list I haven't beaten. Up until last week 4 out of my 5 PSP games were on that list. And I'm so close to finishing them all. I had one more Unique Stunt Jump in Vice City Stories. I have one more skin to unlock in Lumines, I have two more races to complete in Ridge Racer, and I have one more goal to do in Tony Hawk's Underground 2 Remix.
My PS2 isn't much better. There are 3 Timmy's to hunt down in Driv3r. Just going through the final cutscene in Half Life, but it won't load. I could finish Final Fantasy XII if I wanted to, but I'm doing side quests. There is 1% left on Gran Turismo 3.
On the PC there is Red Alert, which I have 1 mission left for the allies. Need For Speed: Porche Unleased has a few more races, Need For Speed: Hot Persuit 2 would be done, but I leant it to a friend a year ago, and I think the PS2 version is better, so I don't really want to play it.
There are even PS1 games that I am almost done. In Final Fantast Origins all I had left was the final boss of FF2, but I'm not strong enough to beat him yet and I've sold the weapon that is his only weakness. I could beat him if I had that. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 has just a few gaps and then complete the Career with the character unlocked by completing the gaps. GTA2 is also close to completion, but the PC version is better, so I'd rather play that.
I intend to complete most of these. I have 3 games I haven't even started yet because I'm trying to finish off some of this list before I end up adding more to it. The PC ones will probably stay there for a while, as I have a Mac now, but the PSP ones and the PS2 ones will be done before I start those 3 games.
