Games you never finished and why.

[infohippie]

Dungeons (Recent PC game)- Lets face it, the game is not good... Lack of control over minions, can win each level the same way, tried to be funny but didn't pull it off.

Yeah, I bought this because it looked awesome, but I've hardly played it. It turned out to be a bit dull.

Also:
Fallout New Vegas - I just haven't been able to keep the interest up, even though I loved Fallout 3. I dunno, New Vegas just doesn't grab me, somehow.

Darksiders - I bought this (for PC) on the strength of rave reviews and really good looking trailers. Nothing mentioned it was going to be an extremely console-esque button-masher, it's really friggin' boring. I don't think I can even trade it in because of stupid online activation and DRM.

Arcania: Gothic 4 - Why oh why did I buy this? I was starved for new RPGs for quite a while, so anything RPGish was looking good to me. I bought this, played for a couple of hours and realised it's just a really bad game.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent - a really good game, I haven't gotten very far in it yet because it's actually pretty scary TBH. I start to play it, then think "No, I'll play something that's not going to give me a heart attack."

So, I guess I finish anything that's good, I don't finish games that turn out to suck. Except Amnesia. That doesn't suck but it's going to be a long, long time before I finish it.

That old Ecco the Dolphin game on PS2. I was bored one day, saw my brother had bought it so I played it some, and actually got quite far (I think) in the 2 days I played it. But one level stumped me for good and I never was able to complete it. Confusing as fuck, it was.

lol, im guessing you got pulled up by a moderator for that haha

Too many to count.

I guess most recently, Lords of Shadow.

For some reason, I really like that feeling of still having tons of content left. When a game definitively tells me that "This is it, okay. The LAST dungeon", barring the story/gameplay/etc being awesomely enjoyable, I tend to put the game down. Strange...

 

[JackWestJr]

My most recent would be Sonic the Hedgehog 4. Im a sonic fan, but i kinda forgot i had it :/ i got it for half-price on the PS Store and haven't played much of it.

 

[greenitedaze]

After the joy of fallout 3, playing new vegas, makes me cold.
I don't think i've looked forward to a game so much, and after fighting the good fight and feeling smug about my make believe good karma (even if i was commiting mass genocide on ghouls, raiders and super mutants) and my wonderfully ethical deeds i was engulfed into a world of be the best gambler, thats it, just become the king of vegas, through one way or another, whilst playing cards.

I may play it at a later point, but even a psn outage hasn't tempted me yet.

Lost Planet 2; I'd heard good things about this, unfortunatly these 'things' were said by the criminally insane, which incidentally is what LP2 is!

Bioshock 2: Got Bored.

Fallout 3: Never cared much for the Story anyways, got bored.

Darksiders: Felt too slow paced for me, got bored.

Vanquish: ....eh.

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit: Played it a LOT until it started to feel repetitive. I rarely "finish" racing games anyways.

Just Cause 2: Got Bored.

Crysis 1: Never found it to be THAT good, although it was fun at times. Might finish it one day.

Penumbra: Too f***ing creepy

Prince of Persia - The Two Thrones: Never could get past these two bosses that attack you at the same time. Bought it again recently in a steam sale, so i MAY finish it someday.

Dragon Age Origins: Remembered that i suck at RPGs, got bored from dying a lot.

Baldurs Gate 2: Remembered that i suck at RPGs, got bored from dying a lot.

Gothic 2: Remembered that i suck at RPGs, got bored from dying a lot.

STALKER: Got distracted by newer, shinier and more accessible games, never returned.

The "Assault on Dark Athena" Part of Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena: Played through the entirety of "Escape from Butcher Bay" and half finished the new episode/sequel until i got bored from the gameplay in general. I guess it did not help that Butcher Bay is clearly better than Dark Athena.

Deus Ex 2: Found the Level-Design to be appaling and was generally disappointed by it.

Trials HD: Too Hard

Super Meat Boy: Take a guess

Now that you mention it there are a ton of games I've never finished. The problem is that when I stop enjoying a game I stop playing and there are a lot of good games that just can't hold my interest for long enough. And there is also a constant slew of new games I want to get (Still haven't got portal 2 and crysis 2 cos I already have a bunch of stuff to finish). That's not a complaint but it is a little iritating.
And I haven't ever beaten ocarina of time either, mainly because I get to a dificult or annoying bit in the game (Read: Water Temple) and decide to stop playing for a while. I then come back to it later and have forgotten what I was doing so I start a new game. And the cycle continues.

 

[Realitycrash]

Bioshock, because the end was so utterly predictable that I couldn't be arsed wasting another 30 min killing the same enemies I'd killed the past four hours.

 

[gigastar]

The original Rayman. It requires 100% completion of all levels to fight the final boss.

 

[sylekage]

I have quite a few, but considering I've only had my xbox since June most of the games I haven't finished are just games I've moved into a "Standby" mode because other games came into the picture.

Some games, though, are Dragon Age, Ace Combat 6, Ninety- Nine Nights, Halo: ODST, and maybe one or two more.

Fallout 3.

I'm sorry, but the game is boring as shit and barely immersive.

at least it's not as bad as new vegas

 

[zombieeater6000]

well
Pokemon diamond
pokemon white
far cry 2
saints row 2
wolfenstein
portal

 

[Xerosch]

Guess I'll never finish GTA4 and Okami. It's a shame, Okami's art style and gameplay barely let me stop playing, but it's just so epic! And long!

As for GTA4: I suck at driving in games. Shouldn't be surprising why I'm demotivated everytime I try playing this one (got to chapter 4 somehow, though).

Fallout 3.
I'm sorry, but the game is boring as shit and barely immersive.

Thank you! This game has serious pacing issues. Doesn't help that there´s little to nothing interesting to do between the horrible main story's quests.

I have a few I've yet to start but one that is sitting on my shelf that I can't bring myself to finish is Shadow of the Colossus. I really really want to like it but it is overly barren, does not run smoothly and controls only slightly better than a Rockstar game. I'm sure I'll get to finishing it eventually but right now I'd rather spend my limited time playing something that doesn't feel like a chore.
