Game(s) you loved but never beat.

[teebeeohh]

prince of persia two thrones. for some reason i couldn't beat the last but one boss.
and i have never in my life beaten a gta(not counting the episodes) i always loose interest shortly after the final region is unlocked and/or am too dumb to fly a plane through hoops.

I find it rather astonishing that people play through kotor and don't beat malak, my first char didn't have anything to to stop him regenerating but at that point i had so many stims, medkits and grenades that i basically just dumped all those consumables on him like a lowly bounty hunter.

Donkey Kong 64, its fun right until that seventh boss. I could never get the timing down to finish it off. Still felt it was worth playing up till that point.

SAME! but i could never beat the original Donkey Kong in the factory level to get that coin.

and beating the cardboard boss was the worst experience of that game. So frustrating but still, awesome game.

 

[Baldry]

Rather a lot of games, mainly because I played them as children so didn't have the necessary mental skills or attention span to complete them, must fix this!

On the list:
Prince of persia, all of them.
Final fantasy, all but 7 and 13
Half-life, all of them

And some other stuff possibly.

Makes me sad to admit but I never finished Majora's Mask just couldn't get past the fourth and final dungeon I loved it so much though but eventually had to give it back to my friend who I was borrowing it from.

Don't feel bad, i couldn't even GET TO the first dungeon xD i was about 7-8 at the time, but thats not much of an excuse.

Still liked it though, if only because of the skull kid...

OT: Oh where to begin xD... i find it hard to stick with games, so i constantly flit between titles. For instance, at the moment i am going through the DLC for fallout 3, but just before, it was crackdown 2.

Although, i supose the worst offender award for most un-completed game has to go to Oblivion. I got it when it first came out, and STILL haven't completed the main story line

But in all honesty, my (sorry) kill:death (beaten:been beaten BY) Ratio is simply appaling... i haven't completed a quarter of the games i own. Quite reasonably less than that.

Almost every GTA. I think I beat Vice City but San Andreas' flying requirement put me on a roadblock. GTA4 had a couple of missions I simply could never get past, the difficulty with driving was too great.

 

[MadBlueWinnie]

My list is pretty limitless....

 

[Doowoo]

TES:Oblivion, i got so caught in all the other things there were to do that i never actually beyond halfway with the main quests.

That's not so much an issue of difficulty as it is just sandboxing.
Thankfully, Oblivion's main quest isn't as long and annoying as Morrowind's. Just play through it and you can still have fun in the world later.

 

[Griffstar]

Psychonauts.

I love that game, so much so that I would easily rank it in my top 3 and I regularly play through it, but I am just unable to finish the Meat Circus level. It is actually quite depressing.

Ninja'd.
But yes that goddamn meaty guy is just hard as hell.

Psychonauts.

 

[baddude1337]

Every Silent Hill game except the third.

Vanquish.

Killzone 2.


Combat Mission Shock Force campaigns, because their both hard and looooooooooong, but I really love the game. Furthest I have gotten so far is level 3 in the British Forces campaign.

Seriously, there are a tonne of games I like but have not finished. At least half my 360 collection I have not finished, and that's a good 60-70 games. And then theres my PS3 and PC games. I just don't have the time any more. Gonna be really gutted when Skyrim comes around and I'll barely be able to make a dent in it.

 

[Litchhunter]

FFX, one of my personal favorites (Despite terrible voice acting on some people who I don't think I need to mention...), I could never beat. The damn final boss has a way of bending me over a bramble patch whenever I'm close to winning. "Oh, you only need to attack me one more time? Too bad, I'm going to destroy you for five turns straight, and you can't do anything about it!!"
Freaking Jecht Shot....

 

[Auxiliary]

Dragon Age Origins. After 40 hours or so I couldn't continue because it wouldn't load new areas properly. Can't finish the game when your screen is all black. The fucking issues with DLC was another reason why I didn't finish it. Starting it all over again never came on my mind.

 

[bodyguarddied]

Let's see..... Deus Ex, Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines, Just Cause 2, every single Half-Life game (started them all, loved it, gaming ADD kicked in), Dawn of War II and Chaos Rising, Red Faction 1 and Guerrilla, God of War III, almost every Total War game, every STALKER game, Arkham Asylum (although I'm rectifying that soon), a 2nd playthrough of New Vegas, Rainbow Six 3 and Vegas 2, Dragon Age, Uncharted 1 and 2, and god knows how many more. Wow, I really need to stop getting games until I beat the ones I have. Fuck you Valve with your amazing deals on Steam. We both know I can't resist. A resounding majority of games i've yet to beat were bought on Steam during sales...

 

[zega frega omega]

FF6 and Chrono Trigger. Loved 'em, but I got bored of Chrono Trigger and couldn't figure out what to do in FF6

 

[MrGFunk]

Confession time.......Ocarina of Time. This will be rectified during summer vacation

Guilty. The completist in me was worried I'd missed some hearts as child Zelda so I just reloaded it and never played it again. I recently restarted it but with so many games on the list the N64 is in the spare room and..... *excuses*

Same. Wind Waker as well, I was like "hell no I am not getting 100 pieces of the triforce!"

That I did.

Killer 7. Got stuck in a house with a weak character and everyone else was dead. No recent save games would mean a restart. ouch...

Every Silent Hill game except the third.

Dude, you gotta do Silent Hill 2. How far did you get?

 

[F'Angus]

Wild 9... Can't get past the 7th level, was one of the first games I got on ps1 too

 

[imnot]

Dragon age orogins, though to be fair I only got it a month ago.

 

[BlueSinbad]

Final Fantasy 9. Third Disk got scratched.

/bitter

Ohhhh my heart weeps for you sir, scratched disks for Final Fantasy is like AIDS, but instant death AIDS I got a scratch on the first disk of my 8, and it wouldn't get past the starting FMV :'(

sniped for the big one... god damn shadow temple and the freaking wooden spikes.

...I feel the immense shame lifting off with this confession tho

 

[AlternatePFG]

Planescape: Torment. Great game, but my saves corrupted twice. First time I was like "Fine okay, I'll just start a new game" but then it happened again.
