    At what point does an unfinished RPG just become an abandoned save file? Who really plays 20 games simultaneously? I can't even resume a month old save file without becoming frustrated and disoriented.

    "Abandoned save file" is a good way to put it. If I can't remember what I was doing or where I needed to go, it's officially abandoned. What really sucks is when this happens after I've invested 10 or 20 hours in the game. Then it enters into the seemingly permanent "hiatus-mode". Too much trouble to pick up and play, but too irritating to start over from the beginning. Breath of Fire II and Valkyrie Profile have both fallen victim to this catch-22.

    Fortunately (or unfortunately I guess), I force myself to finish just about every game I start. I've been this way since I was a kid. It's hard to describe...it's this compulsion that prevents me from enjoying a new game unless I complete whatever old game I was working on. RPG's are the worst in this regard. Mainly because I have trouble playing two RPG's simultaneously and because of the large investment of time it takes to complete one. FPS's I can play 3 or 4 at the same time.

    list about every major nes, snes, genesis, ps1, ps2, and gamecube rpg and that would be my list. Rpgs are my favorite games to collect and I've got a ton of them... I just don't have the time to play them.

    All the game on my list are going to get finished sooner or later. Picking up is often a bit disorienting but at worst you just start over.

    I don't see it as a race, it can takes as much time as needed to finish a game. I think my BoF2 game has been attempted on 3 different occasions in the last 10 years. I'll finish it someday.

    It all comes in time.

    This is why I've always marked where I left off with the strat guides by either sticking my extra papers where I left off corresponds to in the guide, or a paper clip (or both).

    Wow, typing that all out felt embarrassing and shameful. So many great titles unfinished. And yes, I realize I am using a loose interpretation of "RPG" but to me they all are in one way or another.

    Too many to list. On top of that, I haven't felt like playing one in a LONG time.

    However, the RPG count in my collection increases because it's hard to pass up deals I know I may never see again. My RPG acquisition highlights of 2008 include Suikoden boxed for $5, Dragon Warrior II cart only for $5, Landstalker cart only for $2.50, and even a disc only Ogre Battle Limited Edition for PS1 for $1.

    I'm in the same boat, DigitalSpace. With the transition from last-gen and increasing after-market value of RPGs, I've been busting my butt to get my hands as many as my wallet can stretch. There are just too many deals popping up that's I can't just refuse.

    I'm quite ashamed of my backlog... I haven't played KOTR or 2 yet As well as haven't beat any of the FF's.

    I have most of the PS2 RPG's but have yet to play them.

    Trying to do things a little better this generation, but man I haven't even finished Oblivion! I did complete Mass Effect and am working on Fable II and Fallout 3 now.

    By God I did Enchanted Arm s though!

    man kotor and kotor 2 rock so hard. I'm pretty sure they both run on a modified version of the neverwinter nights 2 engine. By the way neverwinter nights and neverwinter nights 2 also both rock really hard. and so do baldurs gate and baldurs gate 2 for that matter.

    I find myself constantly torn by the desire to finally play Final Fantasy VI and some strange compulsion to play through the first six Final Fantasy games in sequential order. And so I end up playing none of them.

    The other thing I particularly regret is not finishing Torment. One of these days.

    the worst for me is definitely ff1 on the ff origins compilation on psx i played through to the very end and then that save file get stale. Now i'd have to pretty much replay the whole thing to feel like i beat the game in any sort of way. when i say stale i mean that save is like 4 years old now lol.
