Games you like starting, but hate finishing

I've done the exact same thing (assuming you're talking about the first visit to the Citadel). I played through Mass Effect 2 in no time and absolutely loved it then my friend lent me Mass Effect 1. I got to the Citadel, did a few missions there and just stopped. I don't know why but I just couldn't bring myself to continue.OhJohnNo said:
Agreed on the Kingdom Hearts games. They're pretty cheerful and light-hearted until you reach the last couple of worlds... and then if you feel like revisiting the previous worlds, you realize how boring and empty they are because there's no plot developing in any of them. Just enemies spawning over and over while you sweep through them with your overpowered party. And of course, there's the fact that the tone becomes pretty somber and, uh, climactic. I think in the case of the first game, the game is at its most fun when you're teleported blind into Traverse Town and Night of Fate is still playing. That's the last time you ever hear Night of Fate in the whole game, which depresses me. It's like the magic's over.
On a less heartfelt note, I love the beginning of Resident Evil 4, but it starts going downhill when Ashley is introduced, and it definitely loses color once you leave the village and enter the castle.
Hmmm ICO comes to mind too. Once you part ways with Yorda the game's over for me. And in Shadow of the Colossus, the last 4 or 3 colossi I always fight wearily, because I hate the game's ending and the dreary atmosphere gets me.

Oblivion. I haven't ever gotten to level 20 in that game because I always start over.

Skyrim. I was so excited for the new Elder Scrolls,and hearing Todd Howard saying that "there is in orders of magnitude more content than anything we done before" I was too excited about it.
But then I realized that the skills were less,the spells were less,the weapons were less,the armor types were less,the number of dungeons were less,the quest types were less...
While still a huge game,it wasn't as huge as Oblivion was. And Oblivion wasn't as huge as Morrowind was.

Guild Wars 2. After getting to 80 I usually get on now to start a new character and run through their first few story quests and play around with their skills before becoming disinterested in rediscovering the entire map over again.
Oblivion for me too. It's fun creating a new character, and I always have such high aspirations for each one, so many things I can do, but it never goes very far. Even when I choose to ignore all the main quest lines I run out of steam pretty quick. It's just so much more fun with a lower level character for some strange reason. My roommate must have started that game at least fifty times. Literally. But few characters lasted more than a day or two before he started over.
