Games you love but never finished

[end_boss]

I took a gander at my game collection and saw my copy of Okami. Those of you who have played it should know what I mean when I say that I stopped playing it after what I thought was the logical conclusion of the story. Don't get me wrong; I love the game. I loved every minute that I played it, and a part of me was glad that it wasn't over yet. I put it away because I figured that I could save it for later, as though I had a guaranteed "sequel" waiting for me.

And yet, I've never gone back. I've tried a couple of times, and I still appreciate everything about it, but I can't muster up the attention span to continue to the true end of the game.

I think everybody has at least one or a few games that they love but never actually finished. Fatal Frame series is a big one on my list, same with the Katamari games.

What are some of your favourite games on the incomplete pile?

I have yet to finish the main quests of Morrowind and Oblivion, even though I've had both for several years now. I've tried to finish them several times, but each time I try to finish them I get about 3/4 through them before I get bored and go exploring. It happens every single time.

pokemon D/P and Disgaea 2 are the only ones I can remember

Dynamite Headdy. Brilliant game, but fucking hard.

Banjo-Kazooie's final boss was too difficult for me at that age, I think. I never saw the end. It makes me want to download it off XBL.

 

[tricky_tree]

FF9, first time my PS1 broke, 2nd time my PS2 broke, 3rd time I left my PS2 at uni after I left and the cleaners took it. I'm tempted to get a PS3 just to finally finish that damn game

Metro:2033 - Love it but just havent got around to getting any further into it (Im only about 30% in as well!)

 

[Snork Maiden]

I never finished Link to the Past. I got to the Dark World, but kind of stopped playing after the second dungeon there.

Dynamite Headdy. Brilliant game, but fucking hard.

Fucking impossible, more like. After many (*many*) hours of playing I still can't beat the boss thats a big head and flips the level. My only consolation is that its pretty close to the end, so I've kind of almost finished it.

I got as far as the tower.

Still working to finish Dragon age and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Final Fantasy 8, 9, and 10.

Wild ARMs 1, 2, 3.

You see...once I get the airship, and sidequests open up. I get kinda...distracted.

 

[S.R.S.]

Condemned 2. Quit just before the half-way mark. Before it got "Snooker-loopy".

 

[tombman888]

well, if i love a game, i won't stop untill it's finished... unless i rented it then had to get it back before i could finish... which has only happened once, i swearz.

Gothic 3. I love the setting and played every single game in the series but I never set aside the time to finish it. Game is full of quest-breaking bugs yeah, but even without that the world is so big and there's no strong pull from the main plot. You just go in a random direction and find so many quests and/or something nice to explore, that game is like a ADHD simulator. And then a new game comes along and I set Gothic aside for later and it just goes on and on, the circle never ends!

 

[Drudgelmir]

Pirates of the carribean: legend of jack sparrow.

I kept getting to the harbor and the game crashed

 

[PurpleLeafRave]

Lost Fecking Odyssey.

The bit with the 5 arthosauras', or whatever they're called, attacking the city is so hard! I can't be bothered to grind.

 

[Continuity]

Too many to list probably, i'll try and name a few:

obilivion
morrowind
Fallout 2
Fallout 3
Baldurs gate 2
neverwinter nights + all expansions
divine divinity

Thats probably enough to be getting on with I have a habbit of abandoning games after 70 hours, sometimes I push past that hurdle but often I fall.

Oblivion. Now i have tried it alot of times (like 5 or so), but the combat is so hard. I think the most far I've got without cheats is to the gates opening up near every city. Then i was a vampire and died as soon as i exited the oblivion lands or whatever they are called. And the game doesn't work for my computer anymore (I don't know why).
