Gamefaqs Daily Poll

Man, why would you post that? Some of that list is just shameful.

There are some that didn't make that list that are even more shameful.

I need to finish Super Mario 3D Land (nearly there), Paper Mario, ZombiU, Nintendo Land, and Tank, Tank, Tank.

 

Oh and Nano Assault Neo. Yeah just 5 at the mo.

Is there a name for those kinds of games you own but never intended to complete from the very start?

Like what? Games that are so extensive, you know you won't bother to complete them, or games that you got just to try them out, but weren't that interested in the first place?

Stuff like Just Cause 2 or Endless Ocean. I bought these games specifically por the purpose of fucking around and never really intended completing them even before I bought them. They're great to play after a blunt, and that's what I use them for, but unlike other games that accomplish that same feat and are still relevant to actually playthrough(like Red Dead Redemption or GTAIV), I never ever intended to complete them.

Ah, yeah, like me and Rise of Nations (I only use it for Multiplayer). I really don't count games like that, either. I think the poll is only referring to games you feel you should play/beat, but haven't gotten around to doing it (or finishing them, if that's your intent).

 

Basically, measuring the goals you set for yourself. More useful for those that buy first, bother to see if they have time/patience for the game later. Games that one has no intention of beating in the first place shouldn't count, I think, because there was no goal to begin with.
