Early Finish – why we don’t always have to finish games (Topic Discussion)

As gamers, we are often driven by the desire to complete a game from start to finish. We want to experience all the content and unlock all the achievements or trophies. However, there are times when it may be beneficial to embrace the concept of the “early finish” and not feel pressured to complete a game.

One reason for not always finishing a game is that some games simply may not resonate with us. Not every game will be a perfect fit for every player, and forcing ourselves to complete a game that we are not enjoying can lead to frustration and burnout. It’s important to recognize when a game is not holding our interest and not be afraid to move on to something else.

Another reason to consider an early finish is the time commitment required to complete some games. As we get older and our responsibilities increase, we may not have the same amount of time to dedicate to gaming as we once did. In these cases, choosing to stop playing a game that we are not fully invested in can free up time to explore other games or hobbies.

Additionally, some games may have difficulty spikes or frustrating mechanics that make progress difficult. If a game is causing more stress than enjoyment, it may be a sign that it’s time to walk away. It’s okay to acknowledge that not every game is meant to be completed, and that it’s okay to set it aside and move on to something else.

Ultimately, the decision to finish or not finish a game is a personal one. It’s important to remember that gaming is meant to be a fun and enjoyable hobby, and if completing a game is not bringing us joy, it’s okay to stop playing. By embracing the concept of the early finish, we can free ourselves from unnecessary pressure and enjoy our gaming experiences to the fullest.
