That game that you REALLY want to complete, but always get distracted from

[CpT_x_Killsteal]

Motherfucking Witcher. I play a long-ass 8 hour session, then don't touch it again for months. And this is Witcher ONE on HARD, so if you forget how to play it you're screwed. I just can't work myself back up to play it if I've got multiplayer games laying around.

Another is Long Live the Queen. I think if I one day get an Ipad or Windows portable thingy, I'll play the heck out of it. But there are just so many other games I could be using my computer for.

Edit: Also Amnesia and Outlast because I'm a little *****.
(The games themselves aren't even that scary, but the music and ambient sounds make me shit myself and trigger fight or flight instincts, neither of which the game smiles upon.)

I keep getting rid of ME3 for various reasons, yet i really want to see this terrible ending that the internet collectively hates. Without cheating of course.

I just finished ME3 and the extended edition isn't terrible at all. At worst, you can call it lazy and contrived. Now, I didn't see the original ending, but apparently that one was just incredibly incomplete, underwhelming and left far too much unexplained or unclear.

Ah, i did notice amongst the pool of standard EA-esque dlc for that game, an extended ending. Which, if i remember correctly, they are charging for, hah! Am unsure whether it would be better to see the extended ending first, then the original. Or vice-versa. Which would ruin the experience the least? Hmm...

Really? When I looked at the dlc page for ME3 on the bioware social network, it was the only DLC that they weren't charging for.

Sonic Unleashed, mainly just to finish up the [blind] LP I had going for it... So far, all I know is that I've collected enough Sun and Moon metals to not have to collect anymore, Professor Pickle relocated (I think), and it has been about a year since I had to replay this game back to the exact spot where I left off at in the [blind] LP because, beforehand, my old PS3 died with the only upside to its death was a discount at a new PS3 at my local Gamestop...

Other than that, my overall backlog says both "hello" to you all and a jolly good "fuck you" to me right on schedule...

Oh my bad! Upon checking, it does say it is free. I must have confused it with another dlc. That's a relief at least.

Demon's Souls, I restarted it again a couple of weeks ago before burning out a couple of days ago. I didn't get that far into it, I don't have much time to dedicate to it, plus I'm shit at it. So I've decided to make the lives of the people of The Capital Wasteland a misery in Fallout 3.

But this time I didn't delete my game save data, so I can go back to it when I want to. And I will be back.

For me it's Planescape Torment. At the time, I never even gave a second thought for it, instead concentrating on Baldur's Gate 2. Years later, the internet says it's apparently a masterpiece, a true underappreciated gem. Of course, I HAD to play it, to enjoy this masterpiece so that I could join the ranks of the RPG connoisseurs who wax lyrical about this shining example of what RPGs should aspire to.

Only, I must have started the game from scratch something like 5 times now. I make it out of the opening area into the City, reading every piece of writing there is, marveling at the vivid descriptions and creativeness of it all. But then, something else comes up and I don't touch the game. I wipe it from my harddrive only to find myself without a save game the next time around. It's got to the point where I don't even feel like playing this game because I'm BURNED OUT from the opening section. Ugh.

Surely you have one such game too?

Ninja'd by the OP, of all things.

Yeah, PS:T for me as well. As someone who wants to get into game development and has a vested interest in the storytelling potential of video games, Planescape feels like a game I MUST play through in order to understand that potential better. However, I'm a notorious procrastinator, leading me to putting off any game or show I want to finish until it's so much later that I just start over from the beginning again, which only feeds the cycle further.

Deus Ex and Thief are two more games that I keep putting off and never finishing. With my track record, you'd think I don't like playing singleplayer games or something, despite my claims to the contrary. -_-

I keep meaning to finish Final Fantasy 8 on my PSP, but I keep getting distracted by my 3DS and real life. Also the battery keeps flaking out.
