What was the last game you failed to complete ?

[Th37thTrump3t]

Dark Souls. No real reason. I think I just started playing something else at the same time, then got too absorbed into that and started playing that instead.
That and I'm at Blighttown at the moment. 'Nuff said.

Spoiler: Easy way to get through Blighttown

There's a way to pretty much skip the majority of Blighttown. Just go through the Valley of Drakes. You can get to it if you go to the first bonfire in Darkroot Basin near where the Black Knight is. Just keep going down that tunnel and you will find an Elevator. Go down and when you get to the Valley of Drakes and hang a left. Keep following that cliff (You will have to get past a blue drake and an undead dragon. Both are somewhat easy to dodge.) and you will cross a bridge. There will be a tunnel that leads right into the end of Blighttown and Quelaag's Domain will be right down some ladders. Easy as shit. And if you're in Firelink you can go through New Londo Ruins which is a lot faster but requires the skeleton key.

OT: Deus Ex: HR, MorphX (My God that game was a fucking atrocity...), LOZ: Oracle of Seasons/Ages (Dunno why, just never did.), LOZ: Wind Waker (Had to give it back to the friend I borrowed it off of. Would totally buy it just to play it through to completion.)

So, so many...but the one I really want to finish is The Witcher 2. I really enjoyed what I've played of it, but for some reason I just can't get myself motivated to pick it up and finish it...

 

[The Smoking Gun]

As with a lot of other people in this thread: The Witcher 2. I honestly thought it was just me considering how much godlike praise I've heard people give it. Anyways, I finished my first play through on Roach's path then started a second one with Yorveth then stopped. Weird thing was i was nominally pumped to get through it but decided to give myself a break and finish up Mass Effect 3 with the Extended Cut... Now for the life of me I cannot bring myself up to start Witcher 2 up again, i don't know why.

Skyrim.

I got about 25 hours of game out of it which is admittedly about 15 more hours than most elder Scrolls games so...success?

Yeah I just kinda ran out of giveashit.

May I ask what was broken about it?I finished the 360 version a couple of weeks ago and I can't recall any problems with it(Ludmilla?Lucilla?Whatever her name is she's a bloody pain)

Sorry, I meant the PC version. Should have said that a bit earlier, heh.
The controls were just awful, while it was an interesting concept, having your pointer move at a specific speed is really only useful on consoles where you can't 'snap' to specific places as you can with mice.

I think I got stuck on one where you're inside a volcano and just gave up after about fifteen tries.

And the whole 'if you fail you have to watch that same cutscene over again', I don't know if it's trying to mask as a loading screen or not, but it was worse than the mass effect 1 elevator 'scenes'.

Funny normally games where you control a pointer work better on PC.Wonder if it was designed for consoles first and then ported over?

The level inside the volcano is a ***** though.After failing it about a dozen times I looked up a video on youtube.Once you know what to do it's not bad.Beat it first time after that.I do agree about the cutscene.Very annoying having to watch it every time you restart

Shame the controls ruined it for you though.My only gripe(aside from the unskippable cutscene) was the A.I pathfinding which was a bit dumb at times but apart from that I really enjoyed it

 

[Dfskelleton]

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory.
I loved it, but for some reason I simply never played it again after the first few levels.

 

[SadisticBrownie]

The Witcher. I found it enjoyable, but there was so much fucking pintling. Back and forth over that field in the first chapter was awful. It wasn't as bad in the city, but when I got back into the countryside I just gave up. Might get back into it eventually.

FEAR 3: I got bored after about 4 hours. Something I didn't get with the other 2 games.

Torchlight 1: It's just not my kind of game to put dozens of hours in. I at most play an hour or so at a time, and in total haven't gotten past the 4th or 5th level.

 

[subtlefuge]

Resident Evil 4 and Killer 7. Picked them both up a generation late and got annoyed with that boss in the barn in RE4, and with that tedious level for the Sentai fight in Killer 7. Ended up watching the brilliant Chipcheezum and General Ironicus Let's Play, and had more enjoyment anyway.

Since then, Sonic 2k6. Sheer lack of talent, skill, patience, and masochism.

I have a pretty high completion record though. As in, those are the only games that I can remember not finishing.

Most of my games are the type you can't 'finish'. CS:S, Civ V, and so on. And I barely ever finish games anyways. And any open RPG's (Elder Scrolls, Fallout -type) I never finish because the main quest is something I do as a kind of last resort. So,

Deus Ex: HR, Skyrim, SpaceChem (last planet, soo difficult), Fallout: NV, Metro 2033, Shift 2 Unleashed, DiRT 3, Witcher 2, Dragon Age 2...

 

[Skops]

I have a remarkably short list despite it stretching my entire life. YES, I keep a LIST, but I'm only counting the ones I know I have made at least some effort in completing them (2+ hrs, seems fair):

**Super Mario Bros. 3(SNES)
**Super Mario Bros. Lost Levels. (SNES)
Donkey Kong Country 2 (SNES)
Castlevania 3: Dracula's Curse (NES)
Siren (PS2)
Fatal Frame 2 (PS2)
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (PSP/PS3)
Twisted Metal (PS3)
The Darkness (PS3)
STALKER: Clear Sky (PC)
Fortified Zone (GameBoy)
Metroid (NES)
ANY CAMPAIGN ON HEARTS OF IRON II: ARMAGEDDON (PC, I can just never bring myself to go past WWII)

** = Super Mario All-Stars Editions.

The most recent one I haven't beaten is Resonance of Fate, because I seem to be perpetually grinding. I was enjoying it too. Also Last Remnant, but I got distracted from that with a big release that I can't remember.

Also in that list are Final Fantasy XIII and Infinite Undiscovery, because I just couldn't take anymore from either of them.
