Games you never finished?

[HeatproofShAdOw]

This year? Picked up FF13 from a friend.

It's been sitting on my shelf staring at me for the past 2 months. It is not fun.

 

[Rainforce]

let's see...
Psychonauts - played until meat circus, got distracted by other games
FF VIII - 90% done, but it gets too hollow and pointless in the end
Chrono Cross - couldn't be arsed to grind through the final dungeon. also the plot at that point.

I'm one of those people that play to 90% something and then just leave the game die in a corner T_T

If we ignore the old games that were made to crushed your spirit with controller breaking frustration (god damn the original PoP and Kid Chameleon).
Recently bought are empire total war, never completed as couldn't be stuffed counting down the clock as had generally achieved the win comfortably by the half way point, Civilization 5 for similar reasons. Oblivion, despite clocking over 250 hours I have never done the final mission of the main story. Titan quest cause it felt like a grind, which is wierd as it is so like diablo II which I played to death and loved (come on May 15th).

Dragon Age Origins. I have started it twice and both times failed to finish it. The first time because my PC reached the end of its life and I had to replace it - playthrough 2 didn't keep my interest after the "origin" portion because I felt like I was retreading. Nothing wrong with the game.

Also: Baldur's Gate 2's expansion (Throne of Baal). If have finished BG 2 many many times but never been able to get far in TOB.

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.

It's a joke. The Marauder at the end of the game is the last guy you kill so people joke that it is like the last boss or something. I don't quit get it but I know it is a joke of some sort.

 

[Xerosch]

I rarely stop a game because I'm utterly bored or don't care. The prime example being 'Silent Hill: Homecoming'. That game still stands as the biggest disappointment in my 20 years of gaming.

In my case, it's only when I simply don't know what the hell I am supposed to do next or when I 'mislevel' a character that makes the game too hard for me. While a walkthrough usually helps, there are some cases in which I'm completely lost. For example:

- Metroid Prime 2 Wii (which is a shame because I really like that one)
- Neverwinter Nights (too many active quests)
- Forbidden Siren (doesn't matter what I do, I can't open any new chapter)
- Breath of Fire 5 (fucked up gameplay)
- Saint's Row 1/GTA 4 (got caught in a mission that's too hard. And I suck at driving in games)

Icewind Dale. For a game that came out back to back with Baldur's Gate & was made by the same company, it sure was boring.

Morrowind. It was my first massive world game. Explored the game & played around with mods for a month, never got around to actually playing the game, lol.

Every MMO I've ever played, but really, how many people ever play one long enough to have done every quest?

 

[Layzor]

Half Life, twice I've gotten to Xen and then somehow lost all my save data.

 

[Nelle]

I never finished Daggerfall because of the Systemical problems it gave my computer back then.

I wish to be a Wereboar. But never did.

On PS1: FF 8. Never quite get enough to the story, but still Squall rocks.

 

[The Night Angel]

Never completed Dragon Age2, not that I wanted to.And I never completed Final Fantasy X-2, again, wasn't too fussed.

 

[Mordekaien]

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.

Yup, this right there. The latest game I haven't completed, simply because the boss is not test of all the things I've learned in the game, but a weird section that's never before in the game.

 

[Jesse Billingsley]

Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask. That game might as well be Skyrim for children due to the amount of quests you need to do.

 

[Torrasque]

Metroid Prime 2. I just don't know where my copy went.

Oh man, I would seriously consider lending you my copy just so you could get closure, but I know you can find a copy on EBay for $5-10 or at your local games shop. Which reminds me... I need to go used games hunting sometime soon.

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.

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

I beat it as a kid and got every mask, but I have trouble remembering where/how to get a few masks these days. I was a much better gamer as a kid, with much more patience =|

I have sooooo many games on my list... At the top is Baten Kaitos with Okami close behind. Maybe this summer I will devote a week to Baten Kaitos... I remember getting SO FAR in that game, but losing interest cuz I was stuck or something /shrug
Okami I just lost interest because Skyrim came out and I was sleep deprived from that.

 

[Torrasque]

Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask. That game might as well be Skyrim for children due to the amount of quests you need to do.

There are only 4 dungeons you have to do. Everything else is for shits and giggles.
Sure, those shits and giggles may be for the proper ending, but that doesn't change the fact that you can beat Majora's Mask with only 3 masks.

 

[Maveroid]

Castlevania (NES)
El Shaddai (PS3)
Skyrim (PS3)
Final Fantasy 4 (DS)
Final Fantasy 5 (PS1)
Final Fantasy 7 (PS1)
Final Fantasy 8 (PS1)
Dragon Quest IV (DS and I am on the final boss)
Grandia (PS1)
Soul Reaver (PS1)
Vanquish (PS3)
Dragon Quest IX (DS and I am on the final boss)(Yeah I seem to stop there every time)
Crash Bandicoot 1 (PS1)
Spyro The Dragon (PS1)
Harvest Moon Tale of Two (3DS)(I don't even know if there is an ending)


And a bunch of others I am sure.

 

[Baron_Rouge]

Shadows of the Damned. I tried it the first time on hard mode and loved it, but then I just couldn't get the final boss...it's not that he killed me, I played for about an hour without dying and just couldn't bring him down. A shame, it kinda tainted an otherwise amazing gaming experience. I might get there one day.

 

[blueshark217]

Even though I perceive myself as a Zelda fan, I have yet to finish a single Zelda game. With TP, I got to the siege of hyrule castle and stopped, and similar stories for OOt, WW, and LttP.

Even though I love Sly Cooper, and bought all three originals and the HD remakes, the only one I've finished is the second one.

Even though collectively me and my dad have bought every Mario game since the NES, the only one I've beaten was Sunshine.

and Skyrim. Just got boring after a while, IMO nowhere near as good as Fallout 3.

 

[Dandark]

Kingdoms of Amular. It's a really big game but it is so damn boring and bland. I just couldn't continue playing it. It was pretty much an mmo but singleplayer, I really regret impulse buying it after being impressed with the demo.

 

[Alduin Silas]

There is one that sticks out. Three in 3, an old, OLD Mac game that defeated my attempts to solve it logically. It's a nice puzzle game, but it has proved too hard in the later levels.
