Is it just me that this seems to happen to?
You're playing a game, any game it doesn't really matter, and you get to a level you can't do. You try again and you still can't do it. What do you do? Do you carry one playing and playing until you manage to do it? I can't do that. If I can't do it after a couple of attempts then I stop, otherwise I get really frustrated with the game.
So I stop, I leave the game, maybe for a couple of weeks before I come back to it again. I sit down wondering how long it will be before I can do this level, when suddenly, I do it first time, no worries. I then procede to breeze through the next couple of levels which are harder than the one I got stuck on, before it happens again.
Strange.
Also, do you ever get to a stage where you can't be bothered to play any more of the game, even if you haven't completed it? I think I've only completed about 3 games in my life. The rest I'm just not bothered about.
I get to a stage where I don't really care if I play any more or not. Maybe I like to just play the multi-player, or I get a new game. I don't know what it is, but I have loads of unfinished games, but I don't feel the urge to play them. Like now, I'd rather write this, or play with eJay when I could be playing GTAdvance, GP3, Max Payne, B&W, THPS2 (GBA), UT and a load more, but I just don't care.
Does this show that games don't have an involving enough story any more? Or that the replayability isn't there any more? Or there isn't the addictiveness about them like there were with games before?
Am I the only one that thinks this?

I do the exact opposite to what you're saying.
I find myself having to finish a game even if I realise half-way through that I don't really like it.
I'd say I've finished 95% of the games I've bought.
Alone In The Dark 4 was the last game I didn't complete. Too much aimless wandering searching for bloody keys!
