Video Game Shame

[waterspyder]

What exactly is my fascination with playing a video game 50-110 hours and then stopping when there is about 3 hours left (read: the final boss fight). I'm looking at all of my games, aand I've *almost* beat almost all of them.

Maybe I should put which game I should play (finish) to a vote.
Potential options have been omitted, including Wild Arms III since I remember being stuck in the game.

Silent Hill 2 (barely started)
Final Fantasy X (about 4 hours left for a boss fight)
Star Ocean (about 6 hours left in the game... and it belongs to my brother)
Suikoden III (also belongs to my brother, never played)

ah, so #3, not #2.

haven't played that one, but i hear it's good.

It is pretty good! I've quite liked it so far (and I'm right at the end).

Another game I highly recommend is Primal.

if you haven't played #2 (Star Ocean: the Second Story), you might want to.

although i suspect having played the third one first may interfere with your enjoyment of the second.

I have actually played all of the Star Ocean series (and own Second Story), and frankly, they don't interfere too much with each other. The 2nd one has a lot of variation in the game possibilities (64 possible endings I believe, if not 128). Number 3 has far fewer variants.
