Games you never finished and why.

[Candidus]

Dragon Age 2 - Shit game. Nothing more to say.

Civilization 5 - Diplomacy is broken. It's just a war game basically, not a true Civ.

Deadspace 2 - The moment I was throwing javelins with my mind, the fear factor evaporated. It's not a good enough *shooter* without it.

Neverwinter 2 - Shit voice acting, shit character models, shit animation, shit campaign; yet *another* shit title from Obsidian. I was suckered by the FR badge, really.

Crysis - The best part of the game is versus the conscripts. When the aliens arrive, the game turns to crap.

 

[Wierdguy]

The Witcher - got tired of it before even finishing the tutorial.

Fallout Nwe Vegas - Dunno why I never finished that tbh...

 

[OctoH]

Battletoads. Come on...that damn hover bike level.

 

[plank_man180]

Also Team Fortress 2, I can't beat the last boss.

I had the same problem man. I swear Valve made that game unbeatable on purpose!

I know right? Saxon Hale was just too damn hard to beat .....

How did you guys get past Octo-heavy first?

Nah, he was fine. There's a way around every noob... Sticky bombs! XD


Unfortunately, Chuck Norris is the end boss of TF2.

The second your cross hair looks anywhere near him, he one hit kills you, kicks you from the server, kicks you from the game, bans your steam account, blows up your computer, eats your dog and has sexy time with your mother.

I can say my mum has a strange smile on her face lately...

 

[Spartan X1]

The only one I really regret not finishing was Skies of Arcadia I had it for thr gamecube and got lost after I beat the chameleon airship thing

 

[ohHaiGuiz]

Just Cause 2 the map is too big to get to the mission and I don't like using the Extraction

 

[OManoghue]

Chrono Trigger on DS, I got to Lavos. I'm pretty sure how it's going to end. We kill Lavos, so I just lost interest.

 

[Anti Nudist Cupcake]

Fallout new vegas: boring
Just cause 2 : couldn't get into it.
SAints row 2:couldn't get into it.
Half life: Too old, lost my saves.
Alpha Protocol: Seems dated.
Mirror's edge: Never felt the urge to get back to it.
Risen: Got uninterested.
Black Ops: Never felt urge to finish it.
Crysis 2: I'm sorry but it just looks terrible to me, don't know what people are talking about as metro 2033 has way better graphics.
Overlord 2: Couldn't get into it.

And this is just few of them.

 

[Calico93]

Just Cause 2 - So fucking big but I still love the game.
Fallout 3 and New Vegas - So much to do but i still go back and do some quests every now and then.
Bayonetta - Got boring for me
Bioshock - I have no idea. I wasnt interested enough at the time i think.
Demon's Souls - I have a short temper.
Killzone 2 - Boring and grey. EVERYWHERE.

 

[The_Night_Walker]

Medal of Honor - Just couldn't feel involved
Dark Sector - Was incredibly boring and rubbish
Lego Batman - IT WAS STOLEN

 

[LadyMint]

Off the top of my head, I remember that I never finished Oblivion, Harvest Moon Magical Melody, and Dragon Quest 9 because I just lost interest. Sometimes when a game gives me way too much to do, I get a bit overwhelmed by the sandbox element and end up abandoning it for something with a bit more structure.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is the only game I can remember giving up because I felt some of its challenges were ridiculous. I've beaten Bowser and unlocked over half of Special World, but now I'm at the point where all the stars left to me require an incredible amount of finesse. And after I get those stars, the game will dump over a hundred more on me. Not worth it, IMO.

 

[Mad1Cow]

I think I've yet to complete a game...the only ones I've finished that I can see at the moment are Portal 1 & 2, Mirrors Edge, Fable 2 (would like 10 hours of my life back), Halo 3-Reach and the original monkey island GotY edition...I have completed more, I don't think there's a main pokemon generation I haven't completed...

See when it comes to games I tend to play half way, then get something else and if the story was REALLY engaging then I just youtube it on a Let's Play. I get bored easily and once you've played a game half way through, it doesn't really change in mechanics except for plot or a possible boss fight. The only exceptions will be when something genuinely keeps my attention for more than 2 hours (ahem Portal), or if the games so short that I can complete it first day (Halo, Mirrors Edge, Monkey Island etc.)

 

[sindremaster]

New Vegas because newer shinier things came along. I'm planning to go back once they release a patch that works.
Spoiler for New Vegas

Spoiler

working patch is not happening...

 

[plugav]

There are quite a few, really, but the most significan would be as follows:

Morrowind and Oblivion. Both are great, I've played for hours, but I've never finished the main plotlines.

Dragon Age: Origins. I've played for 30 hours, beat about 60% of the game, and still got my arse handed to me by Denerim thugs. It grew kind of tedious, even though I wanted to know where the story was headed.

Fallout 2. This game is cursed. I've started it three times on different PCs, and each time lost my saves to some kind of disk breakdown.

 

[MetalDooley]

There's been plenty over the years for various reasons but just concentrating on recent times

GTA4 - Just got bored and stopped playing
Viking:Battle for Asgard - Got stuck on the final boss
Warhammer:Battle March - Got stuck on the final battle of the Empire campaign
Super Meat Boy - Game is bloody hard.I'm determined to finish it at some point though
Okami(Wii version) - Shitty motion controls pissed me off.Pity as it's a really good game.Might try to beat this at some point
Puzzle Quest 2 - Just didn't find it as fun as the first one.Fights drag on way too long the further you get into it

 

[valleyshrew]

I rarely don't finish games, excluding the ones I'm currently playing through of course. I complete nearly everything. Probably 5% end up unfinished. Beyond good and evil I didn't finish because it was tedious and generic and I saw no pleasure to be redeemed from it by continuing. Halo reach I was playing in co-op and it wasn't particularly exciting so we moved to multiplayer and got annoyed with it and never put it in again. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 because it froze and crashed near the start twice in a row. Destroy All Humans 2 - was a bit bored of it after the first one. Kingdom Hearts 2 - the first one was a real pain to complete and this one was even more tedious with the tutorial unending I decided there were better games to be playing. True Crime: New York City - wasn't impressed at all by it. Final Fantasy X-2 - Didn't like the battle system, and the dungeons were a real chore, so gave up near the start. That's just in the past 4 years or so, and I'm sure I would have completed all of them if they had trophies, but they were generally too boring and dull to stand up on their own merits.

 

[John Stalvern]

Timeshift- bland and boring.

The Darkness- I actually enjoyed it for whatever reason, but I only rented it and didn't want to shell out again.

 

[RavingLibDem]

Battletoads. Come on...that damn hover bike level.

I swear that was impossible!

 

[Rock Beefchest]

Easy Dead Rising

Kept getting myself into a position where it was impossible to go any further in the game. Just didn't have enough time to get from point A to point B before I lost. I hate the timer on that game.
