Games you never finished?

[JCD2k4]

Clive Barker's Undying: I tried four or five times from scratch but somehow I never found the time.

Bionic Commando (2009, PS3): Hated this one from the start and stopped playing after a quarter hour.

 

[Yuno Gasai]

Most of the games I own. I don't even want to provide a sample of the list.

Oddly enough, I'm okay with rarely completing games. I play games because I enjoy them, not necessarily to finish them. If I never really get around to finishing a game, it's either because I've been too busy, or because I've lost interest.

Limbo (Steam game)

Metro 2033 (Steam game)

Resonance of Fate (Damn hard, would really like to get back to it someday)

Star Ocean: Till The End of Time (Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite)

Limbo and Metro 2033 are both fantastic, they just fell into the curse of my Steam games list. Along with the 40 or so others I've yet to even play once.

 

[RustlessPotato]

Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Oblivion and Skyrim. That is because I usually try to do all the side quests and explore the map first before doing the main quests. When i've done that I usually get bored with the game and then I can't be arsed to do the main quest.

There are only a few, a shameful few. I have a policy of not picking up multiplayer and usually not picking up a new game until i finish the story.

Mass Effect 1
Majora's Mask
Fallout New Vegas (that was out of spite though)

that's all i can think of for now. Keep in mind, I have played hundreds of games.

Marauder Shields killed me so I never finished Mass Effect 3

Marauder as in the Reaper Turian form? or do you mean the Guardian? in that case, shoot through the slot for their eyes.

 

[Tyrant55]

Games I never finished because my saved game got deleted (My old PS3 died on me)...

Final Fantasy 9
Beyond Good and Evil
Assassin's Creed 2
God Of War 3

Games I never finished because they bored me to tears...

Borderlands
Oblivion
GTA IV
Farcry 2
Final Fantasy XIII
Morrowind

One of my favorite games ever that I simply stopped playing out of frustration was Paper Mario the TYD. Got up to the last boss ages ago when the game came out and couldn't beat it. To this day it shames me to say I never actually beat it.

Going all the way back there will be loads of titles. But in recent years...

- The Witcher. I tried, I really did, but by halfway through the third act I still wasn't having any damned fun, and I hated all the characters to boot.
- Torchlight. I didn't try quite so hard with this one.
- F1: 2010. This was the game I thought I wanted for years, being a huge F1 fan IRL. Turns out I was wrong, and I really do like powersliding when it comes to video games...
- Mount and Blade: Warband. I just didn't get it.

I think the trend here is that these were all games that would have taken a long, long time to "finish" (I don't think Mount and Blade even has a finish, per se) and in the end they all ended up feeling like work rather than fun.

 

[ace_of_something]

Like 95% of the games I played on NES. Like 75% of the games on the SNES that I played.

I actually recall the very first game I beat, without cheats from start to finish.

More recently: I didn't finish darksiders I just... I just didn't care.

 

[The]

-Deus Ex: Human Revolution
-Metro 2033
-Just Cause 2
-Super Meat Boy
-Braid
-Red Faction: Guerrilla
-GTA: Vice City
-Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando

 

[S.N.N.]

Not so much in the past, but far too many these days. Lack of time is a killer for this.

-Super Meat Boy
-Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World
-Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
-Braid
-Skyrim (shame, too .. I was having a lot of fun with this one)
-Fallout 3

My younger brother was scared of the end of that game. I had to force him to finish what he started by going on and pretending to fail. I heard he was going to one day beat the game again without any help at all.

If you still have the game, all I can say is try turning off the sound (and grind using the 100 trial pit).

 

[Lupus80]

Two Worlds 2- the only thing going for me in this game was the combat and leveling up. The story was crap, and the dialog was horrible (unlike the first one, where the dialog was so bad it was hilarious). I stopped right at the end- becuase the last boss battle was a total let down that pretty much negated the combat and leveling up system. I was killed by the final boss and didn't even bother to try to defeat it- because I just didn't care and i had other games to move on to.

 

[Guffe]

Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time
I absolutely loved that game as a child but I never got past the water temple but that didn't keep me from horse riding and collecting money and getting really good at various competitions in the game.
I am thinking of replaying it now 10 years later to actually try and get through it.

 

[lacktheknack]

I... I just realized that I own ALL the Fallout games, and have played all of them, but have only finished Fallout 3.

HOW?

ok anyone who could finish Majora's mask has skills i dont posses.

.

-Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World

no this game does not exist.

OT:
fallout 3- buged so i dont have a map and i keep dieing to stupid mass mobs.

Ninja Gaiden 2- cant bring myself to finish it on last boss.

the new medal of honer- not a fun game to me

tom clancys hawx- just not as good as ace combat

 

[DanteLives]

Never finished Wild 9 because i kept losing all my lives on the first stage.

 

[Drummie666]

Mass Effect 2 is the only one that comes to mind.

I really didn't like ME2. At all. I just couldn't take it after a little over five hours.

 

[arnoldthebird]

Lots, can't put a number to it
Recently it has been KoA, inFamous 1 & 2 and GTA IV. There are many more but I recently tried to finish those 3 and just couldn't do it

 

[JoesshittyOs]

Alan Wake. I actually had nearly beaten the game by the time I had just stopped playing. I just sort of lost interest. Not because it was bad (though after a five or so year wait, I was a little disappointed), I just couldn't be bothered to put in the disk and spend 30 minutes getting to the ending.

I actually started jonesing for the game after I finished Twin Peaks, but realized I had sold it back by then.
