Restarting Games Half Way Through After a Break

Do any of you guys restart games that you're part way through after you've taken a break from them for a while? I'm 33% through GTA 5 and haven't played it since November. I can barely remember the story at the mo and have put 21 hours into it and am considering a restart. I always feel like a should give a game the attention it deserves so will often restart in these situations to get back into the "flow" of the game, so to speak.

I did the same thing with Mass Effect and never completed that in the end, and the same again with GTA 4, but restarted that twice!

I restarted The Last Of Us after a break when I was about a quarter of the way through, but was really glad that I did as the experience was immense from start to finish and I don't think it would have been as good with a big break.

I don't have as much time as if like to play games, but I like to make the best of them, though I'm not the kind of person to have to achieve 100% complete though. Could never be bothered with that.

The daft thing is I have Red Dead Redemption half done on PS3, and AC3 and Hitman on PC. Can't ever seeing me completing those though. Suppose I just like a bit of variety eh.

Strange habit, I know, but anyone else do this?
 
Ha yeah. A trip to cex or a steam sale usually puts the brakes on anything. Plus the first half of games can be a bit slow too. Especially your gta's and mass effect type affairs, which means you don't get the best experience. Very odd behaviour!
 
*dons grammar nazi hat*

You capitalised everything in the thread title except for the a... What did it do to deserve such a fate?

Don't know, maybe I don't like adpositions? The prepositions, after and through shouldn't have been capitalised either, but I must have been feeling trigger happy with the shift key.

I'd be well up for developing an OcUK house style but I doubt it'd catch on...
