Well since other people have named things which aren't games, I'll go ahead.

The stories I want resolved are the Elfen Lied anime and manga. Damn those cliffhangers.

Alpha Protocol. I mean there are so many things left to explore and resolve, especially based on what ending you get.

KotOR 2 had an open ending. Not a cliffhanger, but a proper sequel would have been nice.
Ok yeah it wasn't a cliffhanger, but they left a mighty truckload of unresolved plot threads.
I would definitely love to know what Revan's been up to. It doesn't help the plot was eerily similar to late Dune novels, and they didn't get resolved either.

I'm going with this one. Some of the stuff is just flat-out NOT THERE. Never once are we told what happens to several characters in the last mission.
I just want to know what this great mysterious evil that they kept alluding to. An evil that was apparently so terrible that Reven figured the only way to fight it was to become Dark Lord of the Sith and conquer the Republic then use the combined forces of the Republic and the Sith against it. I want to see what kind of massive threat would require that.

What? Beyond good and evil is a cliffhanger? Ugh- that just sapped a lot of my desire to play it now. Games should never do cliffhangers on fisrst games for an IP- they just can't guarantee they'll be able to finish the story.

Same thing happened to XIII
Well the games central plot finishes, you resolve the issues you set out to fix early in the game, so it is self contained as far as that goes. It's mainly a brief after credits cutscene that raises questions. The game was great enough to warrant a sequel anyway, but when you see that last little flash, you really want to know what it means for the main characters. That said if you haven't played it I highly recommend it, it is available cheaply on Good Old Games.
Which game are you talking about here- BGAE or XIII?

Ninja'd. Not in the mood to learn French just to read the comics. Plus, it seems all mediums have slightly different stories.
They're also in English versions. I had to go there to finish the story, but I think even that is still ongoing.

Well, it's an immensely powerful force originating from outside the known galaxy, so...Reapers, screw it, just go with that.

Since there are large parts of Star Wars that are "inspired" by Dune, I was hoping for a similar scenario. Basically in Dune, an god-emperor that sees the future knows that an irresistable non-human force will at some point eradicate the species. Knowing that it cannot be fought with conventional means, he makes conditions within the known universe so bad that refugees fly into the black blind, scattering humanity so that at least some pockets will survive. Fast Forward a few thousand years, and the march of imperial expansion has caught up with some of those pockets. Which are barely human, hostile, and very advanced. Making things worse is the fact that there are some sectors where refugees should be, yet they're empty, implying that they've consolidated into an anti-empire of ex-humans. So the god-emperor created a self-fulfilling prophecy, and somewhat kills himself. The real irony is that by this point he isn't even remotely human. The problem is that this is all in-universe speculation- Herbert died before the threat was ever encountered, and it's up in the air as to whether it exists at all. I really wanted to see KOTOR 3 finish Dune.
