Games you've been meaning to beat

[The Madman]

One of these days I'll finally get around to beating Assassin's Creed. Not because I'm particularly thrilled towards the ending, I know how ridiculously stupid it is having seen it at a friends, but more because I damn well payed decent money for this game and I've yet to have played it more than an hour or two at most.

Other than that? Hmmm... I tend to finish all my games, or at least get close enough towards the ending to be satisfied. Only other one in my collection I've never really beaten is Tribes: Vengeance. Good singleplayer game too, don't know why I've never beaten it. Someday!

Metroid: Prime 2 Echoes has eluded me forever and a day, first i stopped playing when i had to find thos stupid extra 9 key things for the last area, then i stopped again on the last boss, and havent touched it since, i don't think i'll bother.

Been meaning to finish Tales of the Abyss again but since i had to start from scratch and had already beaten it before i took it upon myself to try playing the game on hard mode from the get go, and fucking hell is it ever hard, the first time i fought Arietta she wiped the floor with me almost 30 times, every few times id take a bit to level up some more and try again, my lucky level was 17 apparently. And then i decided to try the sword dancer shortly after... bad, bad idea. Still trucking away on the game now but if i stay on hard it's probably going to take ne until the end of time.

i know i gonna get ripped to shreds for this but....

pokemon platinum, yugioh: world championship 2009 (the only workout my ds has had was gf playing apollo justice). Oh and to those of you who havent finished dead rising DO IT! ( i was so opsessed with that game that i had to resist kill old fat women pushing trollies in the supermarkets.)

To the OP if your not playing grimoire of the rift on hard then last boss seems a little too easy.

 

[Valiance]

Most definitely Baldur's Gate.
(The first one I'm talking about here)
F.E.A.R. 2 (simply don't care after I realized it's a console port, quick-time events included)

Your reward for beating life is death.
Why would you want to finish that?

Since when was the reward for beating something a game over? Oh right, life doesn't work like that. Maybe someone should go upstairs and have a nice chat with the Great Programmer. It's high time He got off His ass and made us a new game.

Or if He's only gonna give us one, at least support it! There's so many bugs in this patch. Overpopulation, global warming, exploits of the in-game economy (such as failing player-owned banks that are getting money from the government) PvP in non-PvP zones, stupid factional pride, and GMs that refuse to do anything about it aside from lie to the players and make stupid claims about wanting things fixed!

I'm really tired of this. Lucky I rolled in the USA, but hell, I'm sure 90% of the player-base is dissatisfied with what's going on right now, and I get the feeling a massive balance change is going to happen, with North Korea finally getting nukes this build...dunno how the rest of the community is going to feel about it.

Far Cry 2 first time my save got corrupted and then the second time my whole hard drive got corrupted, third time lucky

 

[goin-mad]

Half-Life 2 episode 2
(I saved during the final battle like a month ago and just haven't gone back for some reason).

FF VII
(Was grinding off and on for about 3 months, tried to beat Sephiroth, lost, haven't been back).

Psychonauts
(Great game, loved every minute of it, but the end is so frustrating! Why do I go through all the trouble of acquiring psi-powers when the last section hinges on some kid with no powers or common sense dodging damage while I have to figure out jumping puzzles to get up there and save him)!

But I did just finish Bioshock today, after about a year or two of not playing it, so I might finish these other titles.

Someday

final fantasy XII(7)

Do you mean Twelve or Seven?

7

 

[SimuLord]

I've been meaning to beat The Sims. I hear the ending is awesome.

 

[Sneaky Paladin]

loz majoras mask never could get through the whole water temple and have been to lazy I started it up again and stopped at the water temple and cant get back in because I think ugh then I gotta beat the water temple

 

[Magus44]

I never finished Titans Quest, Never winter nights. I still haven't beaten Baal in D2 despite making countless characters taking them to 20 then either having something else to do, or all my friends stopping playing. Never beat FFVII fully, i.e. got Knights and beat the secret weapons. Far Cry 2, Baldur's gate 1 & 2, the list goes on hahaha.

 

[Glerken]

Golden Sun, Fire Emblem, Torment, Crystal Chronicles, and the grand game of Life.

Your reward for beating life is death.
Why would you want to finish that?

No no no, the board game silly. I'm just getting my first kid.

On topic: Some fire emblem games.

 

[EndlessMayhem]

Guilty of Far cry 2, Fallout 3, Oblivion, Stalker Clear Sky, Thief 1,2 and 3... Many many games. I have over 100 and I have completed about 30. Terrible.

final fantasy XII(7)

Do you mean Twelve or Seven?

7

Just so you know, that's definitely not the roman numeral 7.
This is though, VII.

Hexen and Deathkings of the Dark Citadel come to mind. I got them for my birthday at least 10 years ago, and never finished them. Got to Korax in Hexen and got fed up, Deathkings I got lost and stopped playing. Psychonauts, I got to the Meat Circus and stopped, I really need to finish it though. IGI and IGI 2, IGI due to the complete lack of saves, and IGI 2 due to the fact that it seems to run like crap on newer computers, and even though my original discs look fine, when I try to reinstall it, it says it can't read the files and reinstalling it fails. Lost and Damned I'll get back to, but I got a new computer a week after it came out and I realized there's quite a few great computer games I missed out on in the last few years that I couldn't play before.

So, it's that time of the week again, when a new "what games haven't you finished" topic shows up on The Escapist Forums

WWE Legends.. I beat the 38 man Legend Killer mode, but still have a couple of achievements that I want to achieve

Resident Evil 5 - Haven't completed yet, whoops, been distracted by...

Madworld... still playing, have replayed a couple of levels cause it's so much damn fun!

Oh yeah, I still haven't finished watching MGS4.

And I haven't started Rainbow 6 Las Vegas 2 which I got cheap a couple of months ago.

Dagnabbit, saw the poster above and realised I too haven't completed Lost & Damned..

or Burnout Paradise... or Midnight Club LA.

Man, there's a few, lucky I have a week off soon!

 

[super bunny]

Oh, let's see...

There is Morrowind, where I befriended the second tribe than just stopped playing for about a year, GH3, on hard, at the boss battle with lou, which after dying 10 times in a row I just say f*** it and play in quickplay, Zelda twilight princess, the world ends with you, and pokemon yellow.

Woah Hexen. Brings back memories. I'm not suprised you gave up though, each level is like a maze. At least thats how I remember it. I remember members of my family having a race to find the swamp key. Took them months.
