    I do the same thing - my philosophy is that it is great fun finding/learning (Well, my post in the Comix Zone thread aside - er) about things and that games are getting expensive rapidly enough that if I don't try to buy them now while I still have spending money it'll be much harder to pull off in the future.

    I've played about 30% of my collection, but have completed less than that...

    Same reason here. I dont know why either but it seems that I get really into a game and then for some screwed up reason I lose interest. This started happening to me ever since Zelda: The Ocarina of Time was released...I dont know why. :/ What doesn't help the cause is that I keep buying games even though I still have a ton of games I haven't started yet or started but never completed.

    I'd say about 10% of my collection is completed...if that.

    I have between 800-1100 games. (havent counted in a long time) I would say I have beaten between 1%-2%. Am I ashamed? No. I just enjoy the game, I dont mind if I dont beat some games.

    Back when I had an N64 and a PlayStation as my only gaming consoles, I played through everything pretty much until the end. I'd guess what's happening is you're being "spoiled" (OMG!) by variety; you just don't bother playing with something if you're tired by the gameplay. There's nothing wrong with that. I think games like Half-Life 2 are definitely raising the bar for me, as well :P

    I'd say no more than 10-15%. I'd really like to boost that number, but there's just too many games and not enough time.

    Around 40% by my math... kinda makes me feel bad about buying new games.
    I go online sometimes, but ... everyone's spelling is really bad, and it's ... depressing.

    Man, guess I'm not doing so bad then. Still need to plow through all the games I'm in the middle of though.

    I used to do that too, play right up to the end and never finish it, but now it's turned into get the flavor of the week, enjoy it immensely for a few hours then get swamped with school and become reluctant to go back to it. These are all the games I'm trying to finish right now, everything in my sig and then some :/

    I have around 320 games now and have beaten around 110. I haven't bothered to check how many games i have that are not beatable and if a game is ported to another system (Like the final fantasy examples) i don't consider it beat on that system unless i beat it.

    I beat all the mortal kombats on Genesis but only MK 2 on SNES, beat all the sonics on genesis but now Sonic Mega Collection and so on.

    Actually i started a word file to keep track of all the games i have beat on what systems about a month ago. Glad to see i am not the only person keeping count

    I try to keep track of what time, ending or percent i got on games that i complete that have those as standards for final completion. This is only RPGs though.

    Ed had it right. I have variety now, where as back in the day I just had an N64 and finished everything that I brought home.

    I buy a lot of games during the nicer months of the year so that I have something for the long winter days. MOST of my games have high replay value...it's something that I look for. Racers and dungeon crawlers.

    I've got a lot of gaming to do.
