What game did you never finish?

[NicolasMarinus]

Remember those days before the internet? Before the omnipresence of walkthroughs? Back then, if you got stuck in a game, your only option was to ask your friends if anyone knew the solution or shell out your meager allowance to go out and buy an expensive walkthrough book.

Games I never finished because I really didn't see the next step:
- Zeliard (it must have been the very last level, but I really did not find the exit)
- Alone in the dark (I got to the big tree at the end, but didn't figure out I had to burn it)
- Willy Beamish (the color code in the factory - the hint was on a blueprint you had, but as a young kid the words umber and sienna didn't mean much to me)

Frustrating times!

"Paganitzu". Never managed to figure out one of the levels, (I assumed it to be the last one.) One day I'll finish it though. One day.

I never beat the final boss in the original Banjo-Kazooie. It haunts me to do this day.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Wind Waker.

When they told me I had to sail around and find 8 pieces of Triforce I said 'fuck you, game', and abandoned it.

i didnt beat Tomb Raider Anniversary because it was so god damm tedious, plus the platforming was kinda fucked on the PC.

i didnt beat Dawn of War 2 because it was the worst game ever.

i didnt beat Heroes of Might and Magic 5 because there was a mission in the second campaign that was impossible on Easy.

i didnt beat HOMM5: Tribes of The East because the 3rd-to last mission was hard as all hell.

I never finished Halo Wars...played a few missions, gave up on it.

 

[NoriYuki Sato]

Call Of Ctulthu. I kept spazzing out all the time.

...amazing game..i finally found it again ((and its the copy i got rid of so long ago..so in a way..it's my first copy, second possession of it))

anyways back OT..Lost Odyssey, because my brother started playing from my account, then my hard drive got formatted, and i figured "hell, he already got all the damn achievements for me..why the fuck should i bother anymore?" i said that because he was on disc 3 or 4...if 3 he was almost to 4.

i like achievements.....and getting them on my own dammit..

also Enchanted Arms ((i find it fun)) and plan on re-buying it to finish it once and for all..i still have my save file too, cuz i've always wanted to finish it and kill the big blue ***** aka the Queen of Ice..at least i hope i get to kill her...damn secret achievements >.<

Spoiler

best scene thus far into the game, is when she freezes and destroys Yokohama City in the very beginning after 3 hours of trying to find her, then her killing Makoto, and taking control of Touya

I had the same issues with these games.

I also never finished Wind Waker, I honestly got myself glitched into a wall and couldn't move. Never touched it since.

And never finished FFXII, something about it made me not want to play.

Too many games...

Bioshock - Got to the part where your in the little sister sanctuary after 'the revelation' and never bothered to go kill the bugger

Halo Wars - I too played one mission and decided taking sandpaper to my genitals would be more enjoyable

Wet - Got really far in but the game became boring so sold that on Ebay for a tasty profit

 

[Kajin]

Final Fantasy Nine. I borrowed it from a friend because I couldn't find it anywhere. Giant scratch on the second disc. Error message fifteen minutes in. Annoyed beyond reason.

 

[carpathic]

Heroes of might and magic - got bored
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic - worst game ever

 

[rokudan]

dead rising. I just couldn't get into a game where you had to go through zombies to a bathroom to make a piss gamesave (and I am not kidding)

 

[EnzoHonda]

Final Fantasy VIII. Just got bored listening to whiny bastards. I can usually slog through a JRPG, especially a Final Fantasy. So this was unusual.

Thief II. One of my favourite series, just never finished the game for some reason.

 

[ravensshade]

FFIX it got stuck at one of those forced party selection screens on disc2 (wouldn't allow me to exit )

 

[Daniel_Rosamilia]

XIII - The submarine mission was so damn tedious. Why can't we just kill everyone?

 

[brunothepig]

I still have yet to finish Morrowind! :O Just terrible luck. Restarted two or three times. Plus Vista killed two of my save games. Oh, and I lost it once more when I came back to good old reliable XP. Lol, hopefully I will finally finish it next time I bother to start a game...
