Any open sandbox game.. GTAxxx, Just Cause 2, Saints Rowxx, Sleeping Dogs.. all I do is run around and destroy things instead of their silly little quests.
The games you never completed

I never finished Jet Force Gemini on the N64. I managed to get Juno, Vela and Rufus to Mizar's Palace, but then the bastard takes off for that asteroid, and in order to get after him, you have to go back to EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN PLANET and rescue EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN TRIBAL! I honestly couldn't be bothered to do that, so I never completed it.
That's far from the only game I've never finished (I had a collection of roughly 60 PS2 games that I got rid of after my console died, and only ten or fifteen of those I actually managed to complete), but of all the ones that I left incomplete, that's the only one I couldn't be bothered to finish.
My current backlog contains games like Dragon's Dogma (now Dark Arisen thanks to PS+), The Last of Us, Tomb Raider, Borderlands 2 and Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix, but all of those I fully intend to complete at some point. And then there are the huge amount of old-school games I grabbed from GoG that I also fully intend to complete at some point, but honestly probably never will, just because I don't have the time anymore.

I only remember a few-
Chrono Trigger. I never played it on the SNES so I got the ported version (and the extra bits) on the DS. While I can see all the hype for it (your effect in the game will have a massive influence in the future) but I was really hook into it. I just got bore and lost when the multiple optional question open out before you face the final boss.
LoZ: Spirit Track. I got annoyed with the final dungeon since I couldn't see where I was going and having to drawn out my map so I quickly lose interest in it (didn't really care for the story per say as we all know that Link will saved the day).
Fire Emblem Path of Radience- I found the first protagonist (not Ike) to be obnoxous to liked and without a likeable character for me to follow, I quickly loose interest in the game even when I did get to played as Ike again.
Super Moneky Ball- what? That game was super tough!!

The one that kinda sticks out in my mind is L.A. Noire. I liked the game but I started to get burned out on it towards the end of the murder desk, once that over arcing plotline was closed I didn't have it in me to move on to the vice desk. Enjoyed it while it lasted though, definitely something different.
Divinity II. There's a lot of good stuff about it - the writing especially is clever and often very funny - but there's also an awful lot that's frustrating. The combat is just kind of irritating, and you need to grind a huge amount to get anywhere, so most of the time you're getting pounded into the dirt by even common enemies.
Case in point: you get ambushed at one point by a bunch of apparent nobodies, and you can tell them, "You know I'm the most powerful being in the world, right?" They then strike Power Rangers poses and come at you. Trouble is, they've now transformed into a squad of high-level minibosses and are incredibly tough to beat. The funny bit before you fight them is a lot less funny when you've sat through it ten times.
So, dodgy combat and overpowered enemies have resulted in me getting stuck fighting a boss demon thing and a bunch of his minions. I got tired of it. I may yet go back, because I'd like to finish it, but I'm not sure I can be bothered.

Each world is divided into segments/levels, and when you leave them your best Tribal "score" is saved and the Tribals are reset. So you CAN just leave the area and go back in if a Tribal dies. To beat the game, you essentially have to have a perfect Tribal Score in every section of every world in the game. Fun!Hero of Lime said:
I remember playing JFG when I was considerably younger, and the final boss is still one of the hardest I can remember ever fighting. He was so hard to me that I actually restarted THE ENTIRE GAME so that I could save all the ammo expansions for Juno, who fights the final boss. Even then, the battle took me HOURS to beat.... but when I did, it was possibly the most heart-racingly insane moment I've ever beheld.
On topic though, I never got more than a few hours into Resident Evil 5: the narrow FOV and general camera mechanics meant playing the game literally made me ill through motion sickness.
I also never finished Zelda: Phantom hourglass. I found it to be pretty boring, actually - which is odd, seeing as I LOVE Zelda games in general.
Bioshock.
After THAT part, it ended for me (in a good way). I stopped when I had to escort the little sister.

Kunoichi (sequel to Shinobi) had a particular boss fight that was nigh impossible. The idea was to double jump, hit an enemy to reset it, then double jump again to hit another. Do this multiple times until you FINALLY reach the boss and hit him (not kill him, just hit him). What's more, the boss had more lifebars than the old man the end of Final Fight!
So yeah, I pretty much said "the hell with this!"
Any Final Fantasy after 9 didn't hold my attention enough. I finished 10, though I hated Tidus, but could not be arsed to get far into any of the other games. Don't even get me started on Dirge of Cerberus.

Persona 2-4(Haven't touched 2 in a while, got 3 around 2009, but didn't finish it, then got it again on PSN, and I think I'm at the final arcana but haven't touched my PS3 in a while, and I got 4 around 2008, but I didn't realize it was a turn based game, and at the time, I didn't like turn-based games. I eventually borrowed it from a friend in 2011, but returned it after I beat Kanji's dungeon)
Every Legend of Zelda Game I've ever played(Got bored and/or stuck midway through all of them)
Tales of Graces(I stopped midway in and never got around to completing it)
Tales of Xillia(I'm right at the final boss, but I haven't touched my PS3 since early September)
Tales of Vesperia(my 360 RRoD'd, I was around the point where I beat Alexei)
Eternal Sonata(my 360 RRoD'd, I was still pretty early on, like around level 28)
Disgaea 1+2(Lost the data for both, and am still early on in D1 since I got it recently on PSN)
Every 3DS game I own bar Pokemon XY, and ACNL since it is never really complete, meaning:
Devil Survivor OC, Kingdom Hearts DDD, Project X Zone, Tales of the Abyss 3DS, Pokemon MD:GoI, SMT IV, Fire Emblem: Awakening, and Etrian Odyssey IV. It's not that I don't like them, I just haven't gotten around to them because I am absorbed into Pokemon XY, and feel slightly intimidated to jump back into any of them. I will get around to them eventually though.
Sonic Adventure 2(Hated the game for the most part, I only liked the Chao Garden, and the music was alright. I found a few levels practically unplayable because some of the mechanics like light speed dash and rail gravity were unreliable, and the eggman/tails levels were just abysmal, with the knuckles/rouge stages not too far behind. I'm probably one of the few people that likes 3D sonic games, that vastly prefers SA1, but doesn't like SA2)
Pokemon Conquest(Didn't like it enough to try and keep playing)
Final Fantasy Chrystal Chronicals: Rings of Fate(Lost interest mid-way in)
Ace Attorney(Not sure which one, but I think it was the first one. I was enjoying it, I just kinda stopped for some reason)
Final Fantasy III the remake that made it to iOS and Google Play store(I liked it, but I lost my data during a phone data transfer, along with pretty much everything but my contacts)
Final Fantasy Crisis Core (I stopped playing it, and my PSP broke)
Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep(I beat it with Ventus and Terra, but I found Haqua to be practically unplayable, because she was so weak! And her magic didn't really make up for her weak physical attacks. I think I made it like a 3rd the way through her playthrough before giving up)
I plan on getting back to most of these games eventually, minus the final fantasy games, pokemon conquest, sonic Adventure 2, and any of the Legend of Zelda games, because I don't really care for any of them enough to give them a second chance. Also, this isn't all of the games that I've left unfinished, just the ones I remember.
I'm assuming you're playing the normal difficulty... Because in Hero Mode, two of those turrent-driven missions are just next-to-impossible without using the in-game cheat for giant dark Jak... (Since the in-game invisibility cheat doesn't work when in a turrent...) And, even then you can't fuck it up otherwise you're screwed...DanielBrown said:
...And that sounds like you're still in the first act of the game... otherwise...DanielBrown said:
you would be "complaining" about the lack of a Haven City to explore this time around...
OT: Shadow the Hedgehog - Yeah, I'm not going to replay this game 9 more times just to get the "true" ending... So, for that, I call this game "uncompleted"...
Alice: Madness Returns - No... I'm not going to finish this until I first finish the first Alice game that came with it... Speaking of which...
American McGee's Alice - Where the fuck am I???? And was that an ant boss I just beat???? (In other words... I keep dying, the controls are wonky... and I hate skipping to a sequel to a game, especially if it's a continuing story that's only effective if you knew stuff from the previous game(s)...)
Sonic: Unleashed - Trying to play it blind for a Let's Play... Need time to actually record said playtime... (It's been over a year since saying that statement to myself...)
Corruption of Champions - Got passed Day 17... Not really prone to playing games with my laptop, in general... So, "ignore" that last one... for now...
I only have two, since I almost always strive to get 100% completion in games.
Tomb Raider 1 - this I borrowed from a friend and have been stuck on the St.Francis Folly level for almost 4 years now. I've played Anniversary so it's nothing new, but it's way harder than I expected. My friend must have forgotten about it too. Guess it's mine now...
GTA IV - got this for a birthday present, and was bitterly disappointed by it. Played about an hour in, turned my PS3 off, and I've never touched it again. I even uninstalled it. It's hands down my personal least favourite game of all time.

Same here. My co-op buddy fell off and I never bothered to carry on. Even though I had a single player character that was even more advanced than we were. I guess I got bored. Not that it's a bad game. It works best when playing in short bursts. It's easy getting sidetracked with anything else.The Harkinator said:
My GTA III was shelved for years just before the final mission. One day I just picked it up and beat it in a couple of tries. Same with Resident Evil Code Veronica - lost forever against the Tyrant in the plane, shelved it, about a year later gave it another go and in 2 days I beat the game full. But back to GTA, the one game I've shelved "forever" is San Andreas. At one point I decided it was indistinguishable from every other GTA I'd ever played, and kind of dwindled into different gameplay experiences.Googenstien said:
It does doesn't it? I think I put over 100 hours into that game. But to be honest I was sorry when it finished. That game was months of my life to me. Still feel like starting over some day.DrNick said:
Chrono Trigger-Lost my save file right after I got Magus. The amount of rage that caused me was insurmountable.
FFVI-Sold my PS3 before I could complete this (I downloaded the PS1 version off PSN-don't ask me why)
MGS 3: Snake eater-Again, lost my save just as I was getting towards the end portion of the game. This was right after the segment with the Sorrow.
So yeah, loads of great games, that I was just about to complete, suddenly get snatched from right under my nose, leaving me crying in despair in the corner of my bedroom

Really? I wish I knew that as a kid. I forget why, but my brother and I were absolutely convinced we could not finish the game for some reason, so we just gave up on it. Maybe one day I'll get around to finishing it.EbonBehelit said:
Dragon Quest VII. For some reason someone thought a longer game meant a better game, and it took about SEVEN FUCKING HOURS to even get to the first battle. Yeah, I knew what I was getting into going in, but good grief.
Final Fantasy Tactics (first run copy). Bugs and translation issues, and really a lot of bugs, and also bugs. It's not even that the game was hard, just good god the bugs were ridiculous. I don't even remember the story because the translation was a huge mess, but I think I may have been about half way through this game before I stopped.
Vagrant Story. I don't remember why I quit, but it was a borrowed copy sop odds are I just have to give it back before I could. Shame because it's theme and style were really unique and fun.
Saga Frontier. This game isn't even complete anyway, so I don't even feel bad that I never finished it. Hard as fuck though, remember really loving the style and soundtrack a lot.
Shadow Run (SNES). I don't remember where or why, only that there was always one spot I could never get through every time I tried paying that game.

I have never ever finished the main quest of a bethesda RPG. Might get around to finishing New Vegas or Skyrim at some point....but I tend to get bored after the 30th go to x kill everything and collect y quest.
I try not to buy a new game until I finish the one I'm playing so I've mostly completed at least one play through of every game I own, the only title I'm kind of annoyed at myself for not finishing is Mirrors Edge and at this point I'll probably have to start over again to re-learn the control scheme so I just can't be bothered.
