Name a game (or two) you never completed

[Kalikin]

Given my (comparatively) small collection, it's actually rather embarrassing...

Final Fantasy IV - The final boss is just ridiculous, and I really didn't feel like grinding AGAIN (the other time being for the final dungeon, with its enemies that just wipe your party even if you haven't run from any battles the whole game...)
Final Fantasy V - Every time I play it I want to beat Omega before finishing, but never can...
Grand Theft Auto IV - Was just too boring.
Record of Agarest War - Wasn't that impressed with it, so when I had to stop for exams (after thirty-odd hours of gameplay) I just never picked it up again.
Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturn - Got too annoyed with how it seems every other enemy can cast an instant death spell, given that killing MC results in game over (like Persona) and reviving your party is prohibitively expensive.
SMT: Persona 4 - Got to Naoto's otherworld, but by that stage every battle had become a life-or-death struggle. There's only so many times one can handle losing nearly two hours of gameplay. Will probably pick up the Vita re-release and give it another go, though.

Skyrim

I was seriously underwhelmed with this game. For the first 10 or so hours it was great, but eventually it became a bit too repetitive for me and just became quite boring.

 

[Nerexor]

Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal. Not due to boredom or the game being bad, I just couldn't get past that freaking dragon Bhaalspawn. Then other, easier, games happened.

Skyrim: I got reasonably far into it, and then ME3 was coming out so I got back into replaying ME1 and ME2 and it got sidelined.

The Witcher: My hard drive died the death and took my save files with it.

Psychonauts: Fuck the fucking meat circus and it's absurd level of difficulty and fuck little Ollie for wandering into EVERYTHING THAT KILLS HIM AND RESETS THE LEVEL! I love that game to death but the meat circus is so frustrating that after playing it for a while I want throw my controller at the wall.

 

[SonofaJohannes]

Crysis 2, because my computer crashed and the save was lost forever. Didn't feel like reinstaliing it.

Ocarina of Time. That god damn water temple...

 

[Secret world leader (shhh)]

A shitload of PS2 games, but recently:

Deus Ex: Human Revolution, i just got bored by the second time you go to Hengsha. Luckily this was only a week after i got it so i traded it in for Skyrim monies.

 

[Grey Day for Elcia]

First to come to mind: Skyrim.

By the time I killed the first dragon I was so bored I uninstalled it for the hard drive space.

 

[zelda2fanboy]

Zelda II: Adventure of Link. Tried to complete it twice but both times got fed up an quit

But if you ever did get all the way through, you'd be a "zelda2fanboy" for life....

 

[Last Hugh Alive]

Probably my biggest "Did not finish" was Metal Gear Solid 2. I got up to meeting Emma Emmerich and I couldn't take it anymore. The tedious gameplay, Rose's nonstop chatter, ugh!

I tried, I really did.

 

[Buizel91]

Red Faction Guerilla, not because i don't like it, i love it. Nearly completed it twice, both times the save wouldn't load

Also Prototype, Again i love it, but i got stuck on one of the boss levels -.- beat her once, but the save crashed -.- some games just hate me.

You realise you didn't even play 5% of the game? after you beat the first Dragon, it get's interesting.

 

[PureIrony]

Vampire:the Masquerade: Bloodlines-I absolutely refuse to finish this game. The last level is just too much of a goddamn chore.

Lost Odyssey-This one I'm actually a little ashamed of. I got lost on the last level, and with all the random encounters, it just got too tedious. I really do want to see the ending, though.

Baldur's Gate-I'll finish this game when it stops being a pain in the ass. Which it may never.

Silent Hill 2-I'm 18 now. At some point, I have to grow some balls.

God of War-I'm beginning to think there might be something wrong with me.

Deus Ex-Get a map!

Deus Ex: Human Revolutions-Get a map I can actually navigate with!

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess-For the first time ever, this sentence is uttered: I miss my Wii.

 

[redisforever]

A bunch. Mainly games that tend to get too frustrating to complete. The games I have finished are much fewer. Actually, I never finished Dragon's Lair 3D, for the Xbox. How the fuck do you kill that dragon?!

Eh. By that point I had explored the entire map to see what the world looked like and I know the gist of the story. The main and side quests alike were just totally not enticing to me. I played Morrowind and Oblivion for probably more than a few months of actual play time each and Skyrim was shaping up to be more of that, just less good. I pretty much had zero interest in playing any more of it and doing so would have been a chore.

Don't even dislike the game, really. Just can't be stuffed with it, lol.

 

[Vigilante 989]

I never completed Super Mario Bros. (NES)

I know, I'm ashamed to. This coming from a guy who five stared every single song on expert on Guitar Hero III (after nearly breaking several of my fingers), and beat Demon's Souls (after many late nights and expressing my fustrations physically to people who are smaller then me).

But mark my words. I will finish it.

Someday.

Resonance of fate.

Simple solution: Level up like crazy and customize the hell out of your guns. Your characters get more HP every level and they get levels from all three weapon types. Swap them out and you can get some decent levels (especially early on).

Also, learn when to hero RUN and when to hero JUMP. Running is pretty accurate and deadly if they don't have armor, or have a big enough hole in their armor. Jump when they have a large number of armor pieces that have small amounts of health.

As for games I haven't beaten:
Valkeria Chronicles
ICO
Rage - Got bored after I got to Subway Town
Dead Rising 2 - I hate the time... thing
3D Dot Game Heroes - Got bored
Arkham City - Got bored after I got trapped in the starting area (the second time)
Shadows of the Damned - Final boss glitched, and I said "Fuck it"
Vanquish - Got to the second chapter and was bored
Little Big Planet 2 - Bought to play with a co-worker, they don't play anymore

And those are just the ones in my PS3 library

FF9 and FF10-2

FF9: Got bored with it by the end of the first disc. Didn't really have any idea what the hell was going on and the game was too childish/cartoony for my tastes.

FF10-2: Rented it and took it back 2 hours later. I like to think that I've got an open mind, despite me saying that FF9 was "too childish and cartoony", I actually liked the Kingdom Hearts games despite them being about Disney characters. But my open mindedness only goes so far, and FF10-2 was just wwwwaaaayyyy too "Barbie Goes To Spira" for my tastes.

Eh, and I'll go ahead and mention Dark Souls. I knew the game was supposed to be oppressively difficult...but I didn't expect the game mechanics themselves to be what made the game difficult, as such I said to hell with it.

 

[tendaji]

I never finished any of the Oddworld games, of course I sorta came several years late to the party, but it barely runs on my computer without graphics glitching up.

Bioshock 2 I didn't finish

Spoiler

Turns out killing only 1 little sister is enough to encourage the girl that that is natural so she must drain all the little sisters and I lost any and all want to play the game...

Never finished Driver: San Francisco. I just got bored of driving around having to race all the time.

Haven't finished Far Cry 2

Haven't even installed Psychonauts yet...

 

[croc3629]

Jet Force Gemini.

Screw the Tribals!

 

[The_Waspman]

From this generation? OK, two games that I never completed but dont still own...

GTA4. As 'fun' as I found driving round at 5mph in new york style traffic in a car with wanky controls, after getting shafted by a mission for the 20th time (again, thanks to the wanky controls) I gave up. Nothing about the game interested me.

Need for Speed Pro Street. Jesus, what the hell was this thing anyway? I think I only clocked up 40 minutes on this before I switched it off and never played again. What a waste of time.

 

[SilkySkyKitten]

Uhmmm... only one or two games I've never completed? How about 95% of all the games I've played over my lifetime, including 90% of my entire collection.

Hell, it would probably be easier and much much shorter for me to rattle off a list of games I have completed, to be honest.
