    Lost Odyssey
    Tales of Vesperia
    Dragon Quest Heroes
    Xenoblade Chronicles
    Devil Survivor Overclocked
    Ocarina of Time
    Infinite Undiscovery
    Shadow of Mordor
    Project X Zone 2
    Hyperdimensional Neptunia

    And I'm not even halfway with Mass Effect or started Hyperdimensional Neptunia II or III before I buy IV. Why can't I learn to just beat games before I buy more?

    Because you're playing RPG's. They're all designed to eat your time and demand commitment.

    i just sold all of the games i hadnt finished. the amount of time id had them and the amount of time id played them and the progress i had made in them was so disproportionate i just accepted that i would never play them. if it feels like work to play or the commitment is more daunting than the reward for playing them is satisfying, i might as well get rid of them. no need to have this sense of loyalty to a *game* that i *dont want to play**

    My question to this is, do you guys not look into games a bit more before buying them? Like, I generally wait to play a demo or watch a bit of the game in a Let's Play and get some opinions before biting the bullet.

    Not that there's anything inherently wrong with going in blind: I just got tired of selling games personally, so I buy fewer and enjoy what I do get more.

    they're games i was interested in and played and didnt like as much as i hoped (mmz collection, patapon), games that were part of a franchise i liked but didnt live up to expectations (persona q), or straight up impulse purchases.

    of course I look into them. All of them I enjoy, but the xbox ones are in the media room, so I don't like playing them because I don't have my privacy for one. The 3DS games are just because I kept getting new games and wanted to play the new ones. It's always because I get new games before beating old ones, but I always want the new stuff as quickly as possible.
    Maybe I'll get to the xbox stuff soon though, since nothing is on the ps4 for a while, and I can now move the 360 to my room to play

    That's something you could try to avoid or at least do less I think.
