If you can't beat the game - if you can't solve the puzzle, you're nothing but a loser.

[BillyShakes]

I haven't beat many games in my life. I mean, I own dozens of games, spanning from the NES to this generation, but even when I'm playing through a truly great game I usually end up not beating it. I get bored with a game after a day or two and move on, periodically going back to it.
I suck. =(

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

I got to the Twilight Zone area, but I just gave up on the 2nd hand thing.

 

[SquirrelPants]

There are quite a few for me. One would be Kingdom Hearts. I got to the Fantasia devil and I just couldn't manage to beat him. Beyond Good and Evil I never finished because I didn't have the time, and have yet to care enough to go back and play it again. I never finished Oblivion because I was always too busy messing around and having fun to follow the story. KOTOR because it was boring.

Yeah...But the good thing is I buy all games on sale whenever I can, so it's not a huge loss that I never finished them.

Lets see here hmmmmmm............. Lately I have beaten every single game I own. But back in the day there are 2 games I really want to try and beat becasue I couldn't before as a kid. Perfect dark was one because I didn't get how to kill the skedar king (now I do), and then there was the Legend of Zelda: Majora's mask, I'm still on myself to go and finish that game. Damn my failure in childhood!!!!! Anyways I'm thinking about downloading an emulator just to beat those 2 games haha.

Edit: Scratch that I never beat Final Fantasy 12, simply because I didn't like the story so I didn't see a need to complete it.

 

[Zaksav91]

Half life 2. I've finished the first game, now on episode 1 and just don't realy have the motivation to continue going.

Egads!!!!! It gets better, episode 1 isn't exactely the best part in the series but episode 2 will more than make up for it, I promise .

 

[Brad Shepard]

animal crossing, i know, its no end, but when the hell do you get some sence and stop playing a game with no end? (Im talking to you mmo players.)

Fallout 3, I got to the first town were the nuclear bomb was. And then I just stop playing, I just found the game boring.

Even though I loved FO3, I can understand why you might not. When you first start playing it, you really have to be in a certain mood or you just won't be drawn in. Not sure how to describe it, but you shouldn't really be in the same mood you are for other FPSs, more of a...desolate, or exploratory mood. Really hard to put to words.

Freaking Oblivion. I just can't get into the game let alone beat it.

I just cannot get into Oblivion, which is strange because I'm obsessed with Fallout 3. I got through the castle/prison, created my own character, emerged into the open world, went and killed some guys, then got bored. Yeah, I might go back to it, but for now I have the buyer's remorse :\

Trust me, give it a chance. If nothing else, kill a random guy and then go to sleep so you can do the Dark Brotherhood, the best questline in the game.

 

[Et3rnalLegend64]

Ninja Gaiden 2 on Mentor. I probably could beat it if I wasn't trying to do all the Tests of Valor, but I'm being stubborn. Also FF12, if only because the my new 360 distracted me. I was in pretty far too.

 

[mstickle]

There isn't much I haven't finished - that I liked anyway. I'll try pretty much games that comes in my house but some I just couldn't stand. I tried and didn't finish; Mass effect (too slow for me), Too human (because it was just bad), Dark sector (a rental that I didn't finish in time), Gears of war (I just really hate it). Most of the other stuff I didn't finish because I didn't like it I eventually went back to and enjoyed; COD4, AC1, Dead space.

 

[Scabadus]

There arn't too many games I havn't completed, normally out of a sheer dogged determination to "get my money's worth". But there are two I had to give up on: 'Steel Battalion' and 'STALKER: Clear Sky'. I have to cite "difficulty" as my reason for both, but "bad design resulting in insurmountable challenges" is more accurate. Honestly, in Steel Battalion it deletes your save if you die. I'm playing a game and not signing up to the army for a reason...
And in Clear Sky I simply ran out of money. I had that little "anomoly detector" device thingy that was meant to tell you when a treasure was about (why, WHY make them invisible? They wern't invisible in the first game!) but I could never find it. I refuse to put this down to my simply failing at it; I was really looking foreward to Clear Sky (the origional being one of my favorite games) and tried hard to enjoy the game... I just couldn't.
One game I'm very proud of managing to finish though was Driver 3; the last level of that had you chase somebody (car chase) and occasionally failed the mission because you "lost them" even though I could still see their car! Despite the 30 dammed meter draw distance! I almost snapped my controller in half for that game, but its disk it now destroyed utterly beyond repair so I will never be tempted to play it again.
Oh and I don't know where all the GTA4 hate is coming from, I thought it was a fantastic game with (surprisingly) a great story even though the fifth time I failed the bank heist I almost broke someone I'd regret. Er, something.

 

[MercurySteam]

I still haven't brought myself to finish GTA4, not because I didn't like it (I did), but I got distracted by my new (and painfully time-consuming) love for the Final Fantasy series.

So I'm guessing this applies to every game not just GTA 4?

Well if it's so distracting then stop talking about it and just play it.

As for me FFVII and FFVIII were both frustrating. I couldn't play a alot of FFVII due to graphics that lead me to not being able to take it seriously. And I got to disc 3 of 4 in FFVIII and lost interest in the long lines of text I couldn't give a flying shit about. But Crisis Core wasn't so bad. And I have seen my sister playing Tales of Vesperia, and just no.

Yeah, JRPGs aren't for me.

 

[ohgodalex]

I'm stuck in GTAIV. Have been for months.

 

[SonicMTD]

I have never owned a game I didn't beat.

That being said I've played games like Fallout/Fable and didn't finish it cause I couldn't spend that much time at another persons house playing their games.

 

[Americow]

Half Life 2.
I finished the first one and loved it. The sequels just ruined the game for me.

Serious? That sucks. I don't have a computer to play the original, so I'll never know....

 

[delet]

The first Harry Potter game. Damned troll...

Some call of duty game. I got bored after the first mission.

Some... war game. Damned glitch kept me getting past the first level.

First Tomb Raider game. See above reason.

Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy. See above reason(But was more 23% into the game methinks. Don't ask how I got that percentage.)

I believe that's it.

 

[Slayer_2]

Half-Life 2, ARMA 1 and 2 and CoD3.

 

[gamefreakbsp]

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time...to my everlasting shame.

 

[Godavari]

I still haven't completed the main storyline for Oblivion, and only done 2 of the guild stories all the way through.

 

[Beartrucci]

I haven't completed Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising yet. I was up to the fifth mission and reloaded on a checkpoint after not playing it for a week and I decided I just didn't have the patience for it and then got Assassins Creed 2.

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is one of those games where you need a solid hour or two set out in front of you. You can't just turn it on and quickly play for 10 mins, and I find it difficult to start playing from my last checkpoint from the previous night, so I need to play whole missions at a time. I still love the game though.
