I'll never understand why some people just have to get to the end of a game before everyone else.

I have a friend who makes a point of doiing this every time we get the same game. I might be only a quarter of the way through and my friend brags about the great ending and I ask him what he thought about a certain part of the game and he can barely remember it because he flew through it so fast, often missing out on the best parts.

In one instance, we were both playing Final Fantasy 8 and he never bothered exploring much or doing the little sub-missions in it. He never even played the card game bar maybe once- and why? To finish the game as quickly as possible. I think it's ludicrous, how can a game be enjoyed if it is rushed??

Have to agree with you there. When I buy a game, I consider its lifespan more than anything else really. You simply cannot go through games of such caliber (FF games for example) and not discover everything possible. I mean it makes your experience so much more extensive...

Hers a good example. Metal Gear Solid 2-I got the game the day before release and I said to myself that I am gonna take as long a spossible to complete it. And I only played on it for a few hours each day. I didnt rush through it-tried to get all the secrets etc. I completed it 5-6 days after I got it. When I came on here the day the game came out I saw people who have completed it in ONE GO. WHY????What on earth is the point in paying 40 squids for a game and complete it straight away. Whers the fun in that...

I am hooked on FF agmes and I always explore them, try and get all the best weapons, complete all the sub-games etc. As the saying goes "You cant rush thish thingsh"

I'm the same with MGS. I got it as a GAD 2 weeks ago and I've taken my time with it. I think I'm almost through it and its been worth every second of my time.

I just make a point of trying to get it last as long as possible anyway for the sheer fact that i just spent £40 on a game, thats a hell of a lot a money to have finished with a game so quickly.

So when a game like MGS2 comes out, or FF10, its something special, as you know its gona take a while to finish.

I can't see the point of rushing, just go at your own pace :-)

I cant understand why people think they are good if they take like 3hrs to complete MGS2. There stupid. I'm proud it took me 22 hours.
