Do you nearly finish games, but then stop for no reason? Are there games you mean to play but don't get around to?

The challenge is to complete three (or more) games this month.

It doesn't matter how long or short the games are, or if you're near the end already. If it's unclear if something counts as a finished game, you should go with your own judgment. There aren't any hard rules.

Please post the games you hope to finish, but also share your successes, setbacks and impressions.

Helpful Sites
How Long to Beat to find out roughly how long a game takes to finish
The Backloggery to keep track of those games you'll never play.

Best of luck to everyone!

Credit for the OP and challenge goes to Aarglefarg, who originally ran this challenge. I shamelessly copypasted his OP, so if you are still around, I'm sorry.

Here are my games:

Shin Megami Tensei IV
I actually beat it just a while ago, so this one is one and done. Good game, also the first real SMT-game i played all the way through.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney
I bought this for 3DS right when it launched last week, started it today. I remember getting through these games relatively quickly, so I should be able to beat this one in March.

Fire Emblem Warriors
I'm about halway through the game right not. The game is all right. but just doesn't grab me like Hyrule Warriors did back then. So I'm not going to invest 200 hours on this one, sadly. Should be easily done by end of December.

I'm in. My games this month:

Horizon Zero Dawn
Been sitting on Horizon since release. GOTY discussions are coming up soon, so I want to get this one out of the way.

Deadly Premonition
I've seen a lot of comparisons to Twin Peaks and I fucking love that show. Can't wait to start this one.

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
Haven't touched this game in about 20 years. I'm dead-set on sitting down and giving this one a proper playthrough.

[PS4]Digimon Story: Cybersleuth - in progress
[PS4]I Am Setsuna - in progress
[PS4]Grand Kingdom - pending

This is the first year since I've bought my PS4 that I haven't actually gone nuts with year-end sales so I might be able to polish off most of my PS4 backlog. I haven't bought any games since October and I won't be buying anything else up until Style Savvy drops at the end of the month.

I do have a ton of movie watching to do since I want to get my top ten for the year ironed out and I bought a bunch of blu-rays to watch on my new tv out so that may slow things down a bit.

My biggest goal right now is to finish my PS3 backlog (which is like 7-years old)! I really want to be done with it and move on to enjoying many current gen games. December goals:

Rune Factory Tides of Destiny (70% done)
Persona 4: Arena (30% done)
The Evil Within (haven't started)

Is this worth buying for 360?

Wolfenstein 2 - Picked it up on a black friday deal and have yet to start it as I've been busy with other games

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy - Picked this up black friday as well, shouldn't take too long to beat

Horizon Zero Dawn - I've had it since launch, but I've been sitting on it for awhile now. With all the hype surrounding it as game of the year contender, it's time I finally get back to it.

Mid-month update, I just beat Apollo Justice, which means that I have now completed three games I wanted to. The games I'm playing now are quite lenghty, so I will not complete those games this year.

Ok

I will try and finish

*Wolf new order
*Back to the future e1
*And maybe zelda botw but I dont know if I will be able to do this nor do I want I want to make zelda last and savour it.

I will probably fail im terrible at completing games, i always get sidetracked by another game. Plus I game by mood, and sometimes im not in the mood to play certain games.

Starcrawlers
I have no idea how long this game is but I don't think I'll have much trouble finishing it. Just completed the mission where you get the epic flamethrower.

Wasteland 2
Finished up Hollywood/Bastion. Not sure how far I am to the end but I feel it shouldn't be significantly more til end game?

Pillars of Eternity
The one I'm least likely to finish this month. I started a few months ago and stopped at the beginning of Act III and still have White March 2 content to do. Kinda regret starting the game on hard and not potd. Game started becoming too easy and I became bored but I want to finish this before Deadfire releases.

Oh jesus christ I am so stuck. My baby boy was born in October so I haven't had much time in the way of gaming. But since the beginning of this year I've developed such a back log it's unreal.

I still hadn't opened The Last Guardian from before Christmas. I hadn't opened Gravity Rush 2 from after Christmas. :/

I was 90% of the way through Ni-Oh, I'm on the last province on the original game with 2/3 DLC packs paid for.

But I really wanted to play Yakuza 0 so I shelved Ni-Oh temporarily so I could play it. Got way more into it than I wanted and ended up at the part where you open your own real estate company.

But then we had to move house for the baby and prepare, which killed me off.

I have Horizon Zero Dawn, which barely got any play time. Nier Automata. Digimon World Next Order. Yakuza Kiwami. Persona 5. Crash Bandicoot. That's just a snippet.

So much to play but virtually no time. :'(

Without the open world areas this game feels like an average 3rd person with fun explosions. It's ok, not great. Buy it cheap. The DLC barely lasts over an hour.

This month I managed to complete:

Wolfenstein (2009)
Recettear
D (Kenji Eno's game)
Red Faction Armageddon

I doubt I'll have enough time to complete Strider (2014)
