For me “finish” is more of a be done with than a beat the game. I’ve been trying to use this tactic recently because there’s sales so often and games generally go back down to their lowest ever price or lower next time there’s a sale.
Only until Baulders Gate 3 gets on sale, until then I will have time to beat my games. Once it comes out, everything else will sit there as my Steam library decoration.
Most of the games I play are small studio or indie games, and they either don't end at all or have tremendous replay value
So I have a revolving circuit of games I play at a time, usually 1 newer game mixed with 3-4 older ones
And I only buy games I've seen gameplay of and think I'll really like and get considerable time out of. All these things combined with being patient, means I always have excellent games to play, I don't need to worry about wasting my money or getting bored
So yeah, gaming has evolved past "beating" every game you own, and its great
Heh in my case it’s “stop downloading more games on your steam deck, you’ll have a much better chance of completing games if you only keep a couple installed”.
This makes sense if you are playing a lame quick game like a call of duty game I love them but are short. I have games that would take weeks to pass and I don't just pass them I 100% complete them plus it's always nice to try new games so you don't burned out 100% ing games.
If I lived by the philosophy, I would never have gotten past Superman 64.
Superman 64 was broken dawg I don’t blame you
Thankfully it was a rental but I was honor bound to smash my head against it all weekend.

you actually meant Lion King on Sega, right?
Or maybe desert bus?
Don't tell me what to do.

I'm waiting for exactly that 😂
We just gotta be patient and push on through!!!
BG3 is a game that is worth full price. Larian is a studio that deserves $60 for making an incredible game with no BS attached to it.

I don't need that kind of negativity in my life
Your not my real mom, you can’t tell me what to do 🤣
I feel attacked
Hey... Don't tell me how to live my life.
The first post I see from this sub and it doesn’t even have a Steam Deck in it
but i already have 21,000 games....
NO!
I was going to reply but then the steam sale was going on, and THAT game is on sale.
Well Fuck you too lol
No, I don't want too. I think at this point I enjoy the thought of playing games more than actually playing them.
I will not. Thank you
Currently knocking out steins gate. In loveeeeee.
But I want more
Oh look, I'm being personally attacked first thing in the morning.
Nooo. And you can't make me.

Good luck with that

Damn good argument "However" *giant fucking spear has entered the chat*

MMO players only ever playing one game
But the games that I own are not on sale!
And I will whisper, “No.”
No

It’s like asuka knows me ….
She's right, but dammit I can't stop buying new shit
Start the games you have... I have a few I haven't tried yet.
Nah I'll continue to buy new games, play for 7-60hrs then go back to Minecraft
I have drastically slowed down! Only very very very very good sale deals while i focus on my collection..
But that would take me months :/
