Games you want to finish (but probably never will)

I really wanna stick Final Fantasy XII (12) into this. Mainly cause I've been trying SO hard to slog through the game since it came out, and every time I try again, I get further.. but at the cost of my sanity. This last time, I got very far, probably into the last 10-14% of the game. But I started becoming more frustrated, angry, antagonistic and began snapping at friends and family for the silliest things.
"Why, was the game too hard?"
No, cause the game was absolute shit, but as a longtime fan of the FF series (since it was created), I don't like to start one of the games and be unable to finish it. For the most part, none of the others gave me the kind of grief this one did. I found myself raging at all kinds of stuff, from horrendously bad design choices to missed/wasted opportunities where characters could have grown or the plot could have been more fleshed out. The entire game felt like an MMO with all this effort put into fancy graphics but very little placed into the actual content, and it kept trying to distract you from it by throwing minigames (wtf with the fishing?) and fetch quests, and side quests that sometimes pop up well before you're even ready to tackle them.
No, this game drove me to the brink, and I'll likely never finish it.. because for whatever pitfalls and triumphs the series had seen before it.. this was probably one of their worst mistakes. Of course, they only further embarrassed themselves with XIII, so I'm not even gonna bother with that one.
But for me, because story is so important to me, and I like to see things through.. this game I'll likely never finish, and it'll probably be a constant reminder in the back of my head until the day I do.

Morrowind. There was a long period when I didn't have a computer that could run it, and now, I feel ashamed to admit, the graphics kill it for me.
EDIT: Oh and Ocarina of Time. I got to the last boss fight and then decided to sell my N64 to have spending money on a class trip. I gave the game away to a kid I babysat though. I'd like to think he finished it for me =)

Demon's Souls.
I just wish I wasn't so afraid of dying in this game. (if you die, there's a chance of losing money which can also equal to experience points)
It's still in corner of my mind though

A week ago I really thought I wasn't going to be able to beat Super Meat Boy, but now I unlocked the Minecraft guy so...
I guess it will probably be Monkey Island 2. I love it, but for some reason I'm hardly ever in a pure adventure game mood.

Any Fire Emblem game. It gets tough and you have to be really careful with your decisions. Then you make one fairly innocent move, and a newly gotten, low level character gets slaughtered. So then you play it again from the checkpoint, which was like 20 minutes ago, and again, someone eats it. So you finally live with the fact that you'll lose at least one character, so you suck it up and play until you win, but then two characters die. Now you've lost a healer and a fairly solid axe man, so you're basically f-d the rest of the increasingly difficult campaign. That and the storylines are almost always generic and boring, so you end up not caring that much that you gave up.
Assassin's Creed 1- My god is it boring.
Also Just Cause 2. As much as that game actually makes me want to earn a 100% completion, I doubt it's ever going to happen.

I want to finish Fallout: New Vegas, but it keeps crashing on my 360, so fuck it.
I haven't finished FEAR 1 & 2, probably won't get around to them. I bit the bullet and traded a bunch of shit towards a Kinect last year so I'll definitely never finish Oblivion, Stranglehold or Too Human... but realistically, those games had been sitting around so long it's not like I was ever going back to them anyway.

The last remnant for the xbox 360. I spend hours of monotonous grinding for xp and the same freeking bosses keep kicking my ass. I'll probably get round to it eventually but at the moment it's just too much of a ball ache to do, damn jrpg's.
All the games I ever bought, and will probably buy.
Every time I get a chance to go on the PS3 I end up playing Black ops because the CD is already in, and even though I suck at MP, I am addicted to it.

persona 3
loved the game but stopped playing it for too long (college finals will do that) to remember what the hell I was doing. I got far enough where the thought of restarting makes me cry.
Good game otherwise, from what I can remember.
