Are You Gonna Finish That?
A game is perhaps one of the few things that many of us never end up sticking with to its completion
A game like Bayonetta, while lacking in story and dialogue builds dramatically throughout. As a result I hammered it and finished the game. Although it does trick you by battling a smaller boss near the games climax, then it throws you to do battle with a giant demoness. It was a welcomed slap in the face for ever doubting it.
There are two sides to my propensity to not complete games. On one side I can blame the game. In most cases this is why I chose not to see it through. However I believe this is not a valid excuse for games that I know are good. Let me apologise, I never meant to abandon you. I just need to suck it up and lock myself in my room until I’ve seen it through. Like how I got over my crack addiction.

On the other hand it’s the games companies fault for their game which I hated so much I smothered the console with a pillow until it overheated. If you’re not enjoying a game you shouldn’t feel obligated by some sense of console honour to see it through. There’s enough of that in the real world.
For those of you out there who will buy and finish every game I tip my imaginary hat to you all, you are better men and women than I ever could be.
