Games you've ALMOST finished but never will?

[ShadeOfRed]

Final Fantasy 12. There are so many things preventing me from beating the game I've had since 2 Christmases ago. First, my save file got deleted after I'd beaten Raithwall's Tomb. Secondly, after I finally picked it up after that (Year and a half...), Brawl came out and I lost interest. Now,

Spoiler

I'm stuck in the tower with the Suncryst. The Goddamn way stones are confusing me and eating my motivation.

Also, with Fallout 3 and Fable 2 coming out, I doubt I'll be playing it again anytime soon.

Eternal sonata. The game just died for me half way through and i never felt like finishing it.

 

[OctoBush]

I sort of agree with the Eternal Sonata thing, but i'm on my second playthrough- does it count if you still need to rediculous trading sequences and sidequests for achievements at double difficulty?

Dark Chronicle (or Dark Cloud 2 to in some other places), where you have to redo parts of the dungeons. I'm not quite sure how near to the end I am, but I havn't played it in so long that I don't want to finish it. Despite the fact it is an amazing game.

 

[Ehud_ben_Gera]

Majora's Mask, I wanted Ocarina of time 2. Instead I got bewildering puzzles and no motivation for finishing.

Perfect Dark 64, I spent every weekend playing it with my friends and never finished the solo play.


FF8, no notes...

If a game is too tough i usually sell it, or complete the gruelling thing for some self satisfaction, but there is only one game that i never completed that i intended to keep until the end, Prince of Persia: The two thrones, damn the 3 stage semi final boos battle! I got to the perfect point to give him the speed kill drop and got decked by an unavoidable piece of palace rubble, and i was empty on sand tanks!
I would give it another try but its not backward compatible

Chrono Cross...I made it to the Dragon God boss, but I can't beat him(or is it a her). I can fight her, it's just it pulls a Lavos move and has you fight it serveral times and it gains the moves and resistances/weaknesses of the six indivial Dragon Gods and each of them use one of the game's six elements. On top of that you can only have three members(out of 30+)in your party and each character has their own element like everyone and all the enemies in Chrono Cross. To make matters worse is that you can't swap out a party member mid-battle like in Poke'mon or Final Fantasy X when you go up against a form that a certain party memeber(s) are weak against, it also doesn't help that when the Dragon God switches forms, your party falls down a tunnel to the next arena and take damage. I can't even go back to play it since I think the disc is scratched and I can't find it in my room.

Gun on hard difficulty. I've still got a saved game right on the final boss, but he's near impossible to beat. Occasionally I'll have a go at it but he's just too damn powerful.
And for some reason shooting him in the head with a fergusson (a rifle that to anyone else in the game, would result in head explosion) does absolutely nothing.

 

[Frater Perdurabo]

i was never able to finish system shock 2 summoner and morrowind. on this three games my computers always crashed causing to lose my saved games and after a while i just got tired of trying. It was as fate never wanted me to finish this games...

 

[Piorn]

-Metroid Prime 1 and 2
-Prince of Persia 2 and 3 =(
-TES4 Oblivion
-Guild Wars:Nightfall
-Pokemon Mystery Dungeon:Team Red
-Tomb Raider Anniversary
-Battalion Wars (meh)
-Simpsons Hit&Run (meh too)
-A Rubix Cube (ALMOST!!!) (I hate them)

Final Fantasy IX - I've played it thorugh to disc 2 3 times, then I finally started playing it on emulator, made it to the end of disc 3, and it froze on a cutscene which I can't get past. I don't think I have the heart to play it again.

 

[Geo Da Sponge]

Ugh, don't get me started on Burnout 3. I got gold on every event, did every extra challenge, got every car except for the Euro Racer which was tantalisingly beautiful. The only thing I couldn't manage was getting two trailer takedowns in a race. Damn you Burnout! Damn you!

That and saving 97 out of 99 mudokons on Abe's Oddysee.

 

[karn3]

Assasin's creed. Not because i couldn't but because i didn't want to ruin the game for myself even more. You know the last bit where the whole sneaky assasin routinue is kicked out the window shortly after being pissed on and then set on fire? yer, that bit is where i stopped playing.

 

[nick_knack]

Sniper Elite and both Deus Ex games. I've watched the endings on youtube, and I just can't be bothered...

-A Rubix Cube (ALMOST!!!) (I hate them)

I can do a Rubix cube in under 3 minutes.... so there!

[Taktix101]

Rainbow 6: Vegas: as you reach the end of the final level on the hardest difficulty, it becomes unreasonably hard to the point of being comic. I just gave up.

DOOM 3: The final boss fight is a crock.

 

[Xazetuf]

Halo Combat Evolved i got to 10 feet away from the final carrier out of the autumn died, died a little inside and turned off the xbox

 

[Kevvers]

Fallout2 -- I did enjoy it alot, but I could not cope with it crashing repeatedly
Planescape Torment -- Ive played this through twice now, got to the same bit which is apparently close to the end and just give up cos it gets too hard.
Thief 3 -- big disappointment, I just lost interest
Warcraft3 -- get to some mission where you have to harvest a load of wood... boring
Okami -- good but long
Final Fantasy 8, 10 -- someone said they get as far as the bosses the give up... yeah its that thing. Why have people get all the way to the end boss only to find that they have to roam around for further hours just outside the boss room because they find out they are too weak? 9 was so unmemorable I cant remember whether I bothered or not

Currently deciding whether I should bother completing Mass Effect or not, cos I have gotten bored of the samey combat.

 

[COR 2000]

Turok. I finished it since then, but the last boss fight was rather cheap, so I got turned off of it.

It's easy you

Spoiler: Spoiler here

Find the shotgun and use the flares to distract the T-rex, there is a mounted rocket launcher somewhere that damages it pretty good
