The two that I have been meaning to beat since I got them are Skyrim and Fallout New Vegas. I'm just starting anew on Fallout and this time I will see this through, no more recreating characters.
Name a game (or two) you never completed

Freakin' Borderlands. It's great for like the first two hours but then by doing ALL of the quests, it's way too easy to get over leveled. Then the game's just a grind....
Well let's see...
The original Deus Ex: I see the appeal, and when i was playing it, i was absolutely hooked. But then i stopped playing for like a day and it's been hard to get my interest back into playing it.
Also, the original Far Cry on PC: I really want to like the game. It looks great and the weapons are pretty fun. But...that AI...it's so...overpowering. It's like the game wants you to be stealthy, but enemies can detect you a mile away and you die in a couple of shots. It's brutal. Also the controls just feel awkward. Maybe i just wasnt used to keyboard controls at the time of playing, though.
I've also been wanting to finally finish Jade Empire. I cant count the number of characters i've made just to get to around the same spot, stop playing, and then repeat the cycle a year later.

I'm terrible at finishing games. I get about half way through each one before something else comes out and it's left to collect dust on the shelf. I've been meaning to finish some of them, but I never get around to it.
Half Life 2. I tried to go on foot where you're supposed to ride the boat and I eventually got to that wide open area where you fight the attack chopper. I tried to go back, but the game had auto-saved and the boat was unreachable. I know I should've just done things Valve's way, but fuck man, I didn't think it would be that easy to break the game. I didn't have another save and I wasn't about to play the first few hours over again, so I quit.
Metroid Prime. I played this on hard and I got all the way to the final boss battle. The only reason I didn't finish it was I was playing it on my friends gamecube, and when the semester ended he took the games home with him

Games I enjoyed but never finished:
Every TW game, though I've never had a bad game of it, I just don't like it once you become in dominant power and the struggle ends and hate short games of it because it cuts you off when they're still enjoyable (even though you can continue them).
FFIV but that was because my PSX died on my near the end and I've never gotten around to playing it on an emulator because of my glut of PC games.
The main game I never finished because it was so bloody boring and bad: FFVIII because the story was unengaging, I never liked the characters or the plot twists. I only got halfway through it on PSX but almost to the end on my PC byt by the time I found myself having to grind the hell out of it to be ready for the end and years of playing MMOs has turned me off of such things, especially when it's a game like this where I never liked it to begin with (thanks mainly to magic not being tied to magic points but to the quality of it you have and not only the furtherer grinding you must do during battles to get enough for the good stat builders.
That then means you then can't use those bloody spells because they weaken you and are usually the best ones around which reduces the game to a mass of summoning. That means you having to button mash to boost your summon which I've despised in every game that has it because a game feature should never leave you with carpel tunnel after every session.

Final Fantasy X-2: At about the second chapter, or whatever they 5 story parts are called, I finally realized "Hey! This is just fucking terrible." And I just stopped. Never went back, and to this day I have not regretted that decision.
Red Dead Redemption: Even though I think I'll be crucified for just saying this: I just lost interest. No idea why, the story just seemed to start dragging in the third act and I just stopped.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution: This one I also don't have a really good reason for. Mostly because I think I fucked up my current run and I don't want to start over.
...and there are a few others but those I haven't even STARTED yet. So I'm not sure if I would never finish them if/when I get around to them.

I will say two and they are pretty much the same.
Demon Souls
Dark Souls
You wanna know why. Because I can't get past the first level, IT'S HORRIBLE!
I'll probably try Demon Souls once more.

Yup Brutal Legend because of the last stage battle (got just past the bridge and then i'd get ass raped) ummm and majoras mask (in all fairness I've never played it, not sure if it's better or worse than OoT)Fiz_The_Toaster said:
Assassins creed 2. I'm not saying I don't like the game, but it just got a tad repetitive and nearish the end it asked me to pull of 10 (i think) assassinations that were all pretty similar, and then the game glitched out on me and after that I just couldn't work up the desire to go back to it and kill the remaining 8 to move on.
This! I loved SA but I still recall getting to the point where the only mission available was that stupid plane one and I had to put up with that guy phoning every 5 minutes and saying, "Learn to fly, Carl!".Zeckt said:
That was playing on the PC though, tempted to try again someday with the 360 controller plugged in for analogue goodness and see if it helps.
Despite devoting an outsized portion of my time playing their multiplayers, I never finished the single player campaigns in Starcraft or Warcraft 1-3.
Metal Gear Solid got left behind for some reason - maybe because I made the unfortunate misstep of playing MGS2 first.
I don't think I've finished most of any of the Final Fantasies I've played. The most recent one I have finished is FFX and that was about ten years ago.
As with others, GTA:SA fell out of favor at some point. Not really sure why.
Skyrim was the first ES game that I actually did finish. I never started the first two Elder Scrolls, and both Morrowind and Oblivion became some combination of tedious, repetitive, or nigh unplayable because of poor choices in character development. Usually I went with some combination of birthsign/race/attributes/skills that roughly translated to a character I thought I would have fun playing, but it always somehow felt like I was behind the curve if I didn't devote an excess amount of time diligently planning my tree and committing to every last detail before I even started the game.
Okami somehow makes this list, too. I'm not where in the story I stopped (or why), but whenever I think its a good time to pick it back up, I open the case to discover the disc missing. Then I forget that the disc is missing, go to play it at some later date, and then remember that I forgot to remember that I lost the disc. This has been happening for at least five years.

Dark souls.
I am currently in Andor Londo with the archers and gargoyles. They just annoy the hell out of me, almost as much as the PvP. Im not done with it but I just haven't gone back to it yet, im able to find other games to occupy me for now so I haven't gone back to it yet.
Also ACR. I loved AC2 and I could tolerate Brotherhood but revelations was just so crap. I could not keep playing it.
