discussion Completed or Ongoing games?

[falseside]

After getting disappointed almost every time. I try to play only completed games.

I don't really make a difference.

feels like a lot of games are just being developed on forever. makes it pretty annoying to have to play through everything again every 6 months or whatever. but alternative you wait 5 years until they eventually move on to something else

I play both

 

[Franek60]

i play completed and ongoing all the same, with small caveat that i dont play games that are barely started since there is no content

I would prefer to start a game that is incomplete. If the story is compelling I can wait. If the story is not, hitting a 'This is the end of the current update' screen makes it easier to DNF.

I like both, it's just that if I see that it's already completed I take it easy to the point where I forget to play it

Completed or ongoing doesn't really matter, as long as they get my attention and I like them.

i try to only go for completed games. but sometimes i see someone recommend a ongoing game and get curious and usually they are right to recommend, and then the painfull wait starts and hope it doesnt get abandoned

I used to play mostly uncompleted game but now there are so many finished ones, I can play those while I wait for the others to be completed or in the worst case abandoned.
I still play ongoing games if I really want to try it

If its a good game I don't really mind.

I'm tracking 9 games in development right now. Naturally, I've tried playing them, otherwise I wouldn't be following them. But my ideal is complete.

I play both, the only problem I find with some completed games is that due to how long it takes developers to finish a game the games sometimes look pretty outdated compared to the new games coming out.

 

[anyplay]

As long as it not like 0.1a with basically no content ill play it

 

[stevetheegg]

No offense intended, but you have to be a masochist to prefer the abandoned stuff.

 

[Ripowar]

I only download and play completed games.

 

[poract]

Games in development that have a decent amount of content are good.

 

[stark]

It seems like as long as there are monthly subs on patreon, the better a game is, the less likely it is to ever finish.

 

[RonLancaster]

Ongoing if the content is good

Playing ongoing games is a risk - you get invested and then the dev abandons it or just fades away. But I still do it. But like most people i prefer a finished game.
