Games you never finished.

Fallout: New Vegas - Making into NV was a pretty cool goal, had fun until that point. Once I arrived, I just lost interest. I couldn't give a rats ass about any of the factions, the quests I had open or even my 'revenge' for getting gunned down. I realized I was in it for the sight-seeing tour only.
2 Worlds: A bit the same. I realized I could put up with the clunky engine and bad animations, story, dialogue and combat because it was a damn pretty trek through the fields. Eventually I got bored of it all.
Silent Hill 4: The story took too long to grab my interest. At one point it just couldn't help me bear the combat and interface and I got bored. This one I regret, I hear the story really comes to life towards the end. I also end there are ghosts that make the game unsuferable by that point.

Oldest game I've never finished is Battletoads. If you're someone who has beaten that game without using save states or cheats, my hat is off to you.
Also, I was never quite able to make it through Pacman or Frogger. They were really fun for a while, but after a few hours it just felt like the designers ran out of ideas and basically had you do the same annoying fetch quests over and over again. And neither of the stories went ANYWHERE.

There have been numerous games that I've played and stopped. It would be neigh impossible to remember/name all of them. I'm better about it nowadays compared to years ago, but it still happens from time to time.
The most recent game I quit would probably be Fallout New Vegas. Not that I dislike the game, as I do enjoy it quite a bit. But I pretty much stopped playing that and everything else when the Gears of War 3 beta launched. I did plan on starting it back up earlier this month, but the exact day I planned on playing was the day they released that patch that broke the game. That has killed my desire to go back to it for the time being. I will later this summer, just not right away.

It was originally released for playstation, but is now free, open source, and on PC!
Warzone 2100- I play the skirmish mode, I don't spend much time on the campaign so I never beat it.

Jet Set Willy, that game was literally impossible.
More recently Bioshock 2, Dragon Age, Black Ops, Oblivion (played it a lot but all those gate things, no thanks), FEAR 2, Assassins Creed, Bulletstorm, Dead Rising 2, Dead Space, Dirt2, GTA 4, Split Second.

In the olden days there would be plenty of games that you wouldn't finish. Someone has mentioned Battletoads already, an early classic from Rare that was as hard as Bruce Lee's nipples. I also take my hat off to anyone who can finish the second level of Viewpoint on the Neo Geo.
Contemporary gaming is kinder, developers want us to finish and aren't trying to get extra 10p's/quarters etc out of us. I usually finish games these days and I'm often disciplined when I start new titles, but I never finished 'Splosion Man (irritating/overly repetitive by third section) and I stalled near the end of The Last Remnant, though I shall finish that one day.

Well, I just finished Far Cry 2 a couple weeks ago, which I got on Christmas of 2009. It was a great game, but it didn't draw me in. I eventually saw it to the end and it was great.
Deus Ex: I can't get past the first level. I'd make more of an attempt to finish it if my inventory didn't screw up every time I died.
Company of Heroes: I just can't finish this one level, and it's been so long I don't even remember which it was.
Soldier of Fortune 2: F***ing hate grenades.
Unreal Tournament 3: This is weird because I absolutely loved the entire series, but I've lost interest now. Now that I think about it, I never completed any of the series' campaigns.

Any Final Fantasy game. Seriously, those games are probably the closest thing to a pokemon game. Pokemon games are practically impossible to finish in a legit fashion because they are practically endless. Same with Digimon World for the PSX. I've only gotten to my second digimon and I stopped because my digimon "died" and I forgot to save for at least a good half-hour.
Hmm.
Wild Arms 3
Wild Arms 4
Wild Arms 5
I love the wild arms series, but I always get far in the game, nearly to the end boss.. then just give up. The games are great, but they have a tendency to puzzle me off from playing. Which is a real shame. The series needs to realize people play it for the RPG in the game and not the puzzles. I don't know a single wild arms fan who likes the puzzles.

Legend of the Dragoon, Lost Odyssey, Fallout 2, and fuck-all, Morrowind.
The last one is the only one I don't regret. The fucking Ashlanders pissed me off. I killed all of them and never picked it back up.

I'm sure there were plenty of crap NES games I never finished. The one that really gets me though is Snake Rattle and Roll. I loved that game as a kid, but I just could not beat the final level. You're on the moon and you have to lick a giant foot to death while dodging meteorites. Yeah, it makes as much sense as it sounds. The other one that really bugs me is Hexen. I've tried so many times to get through that game, and it's a pretty decent game, but I always get distracted on the third hub and move to something else. A game left unfinished for the last 15 years. I should probably finish Deathkings of the Dark Citadel too.
There's plenty of other games I need to go back to as well, damn Steam sales. I buy a game on sale because it kind of interested me, then the next day they have a sale on a game I really wanted to play so I switch to that.

Ninja Gaiden 2: The difficulty curve on that bastard pissed me off to no end.
Boarderlands: I nearly finished it but got bored because of the power ups on my shot gun where sh**
Full Throttle: I suck at keyboard controls
American McGee's Alice: because again I suck at computer games.

the original half life. I got all the way to the final boss, then got interested in something else and never went back...
Also SLAI, it's so damn long.
Assassin's creed. My gaming PC never could run it right there was about 1.5 delay on every action. running jumping fighting hiding, everything. the audio didn't sync up right with the slow video so the audio would finish half a minute before the dialog did and i'd sit watching lips move to stoney silence. i don't have a PS3 so i couldn't play it any other way. eventually the problems just added up so much that during the last batch of assassinations things got too hard for a delay and i couldn't go any further. It was fun and i really wanted to play till the end i just couldn't.
The Legend of Zelda; Ocarina of Time. I never owned a N64 and i never had a save game slot over at a friends house for very long. I got the Gamecube version that came with master quest when you pre-ordered windwaker but I got to the shadow temple took it over to a friends house one day left it there and it got stolen at some point. I found out who and he was promptly booted from the group for stealing a bunch of other shit too, but i never did get to finish this game.
I list these because i grew up in the age of NES and genesis and the oldest ones i finished out my large library were Super Mario bros. 3, Home alone, and the legend of Zelda(once). Thats just too many i didn't finish.

Yeah, Red Faction gets kind of tedious towards the end. I beat it, and the ending wasn't really worth it. Still, the destruction in that game was awesome. And just screwing around with all the cheats on was a blast. If you haven't tried that, make sure you do (super hammer, super running speed, and super health are the best ones).believer258 said:
