This has turned into an interesting experiment.

At first my completed games hovered around 90%. It was because I was fosussing only on the games I completed and the games I like and think about more easily. After that I started adding games I've found on lists I can find on the net and my amount of Unfinished game rose up.

Even so, my completed games hover around 70% now. And when I look at other members of AB who have a Backloggery account the average is around 70-80% Unplayed games!

How could it be so different than me? I could probably trim my list down around 65% Completed but that's it. And those trimmed games would still only fall down on Beaten, not Unplayed.

Is it because you guys like to puchase a lot of games you don't play right away? On my own side I'm used to play to the death a game I purchase and not purchase a new one until I grow tired of the last one. Also, I didn't like the new gen of games and thus don't play them much at all. I spent most of my time perfecting my play on games I already possessed instead.

Still, the difference is huge.

I'm guilty of doing this. I see a game in store on special and I buy it because I know if I don't it will get sold or won't be on special anymore. But I seldom play it straight away, usually because I'm in the middle of playing something else. Plus, lately it's hard to find time for games and with some I know I would get hooked and want to play them all the time and be frustrated cause I can't, so I wait hoping that at some point it will be different.

I do that with everything - have heaps of Warhammer miniatures that I haven't even opened, let alone assembled (don't even wanna mention painting).

I admit to be a procrastinator... I should stop looking at forums and go play a game. Maybe check a few more posts first...
