811690 2009-09-19 00:27:00 Think Call of Duty was the only game I have ever finished, Generally I play game till I get stuck or bored with it, If I haven't played it in a month or two I uninstall it.

The exception being Motocross Madness 1 &2, the ISI Formula 1 games, and rFactor which all stayed installed for years at a time due to a constraint stream of user created content and online racing.

Pity I have lost my key for rFactor, More and more car sets and tracks of constantly higher quality are still being released.

811691 2009-09-19 00:33:00 I generally leave them on my PC.

Also, I tend to play games that even if you finish, there's other stuff to explore/do.

Good luck trying to finish a football manager simulator. :waughh:

Similar story with RPG's/hack and slash games I own. I might finish the main quests, but there's always another charcter type to play.

811692 2009-09-19 01:25:00 In general simulations stay on my computer for a while like driving sims, Flight simulations FSX will stay on for the life of the computer or until a newer version comes out. Other types of games will stay there until I need the disk space.

811694 2009-09-19 02:48:00 I generally have every game on steam, which means my steam folder very secretly gets bigger and bigger until I think it's my movies or whatever and buy a new hard drive :( wellyg33k (11804)
811695 2009-09-19 03:36:00 Depends on the game. If it sucked or was average I uninstall and usually resell it.

If it was great, I'll likely play again so leave it there.
I don't have a lot of them so no worries with space.

811696 2009-09-19 04:27:00 I keep all mine.. got like 2tb storage :P whellington (15030)
811697 2009-09-19 07:22:00 Sometimes I have about 5 or 6 games that live on my pc at once and i will randomly cycle through them. Generally I just fit it when i have time which lately seems to be never. I think I only uninstall when I realise i havent played the game in many months.
Then i go swap the game for another.
