Went to EB yesterday and saw Lost Odyssey. I owned lost odyssey a long time ago
then my 360 broke so I sold it...I regret it, I never got to finish it but now that I
have another 360 I am definitely going to pick it up maybe next week.

So what's on your list of games that you regret not finishing?

The only game I can think of is Resident Evil Code: Veronica on the Dreamcast, the only RE game I haven't beat. I got really close to the end when my Dreamcast died and I never got another one.

I know the game has been released on other systems since then but I haven't got round to picking it up.

Lost Odessey is one of two games I didn't finish on purpose this generation it may be just me but that game became a chore around disc three and the protaganist was a snoozer.

To answer your question above... Ms Pac Man.

I'd really like to finish up Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 some day. I got about halfway through with it, was enjoying it a ton, but then I guess I must have got some new game and started playing that instead.

I have played Final Fantasy 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10-2, 12, and 13. Until last year the only one I had beat was 10-2. But I beat 13, then 7, 8 and I am in the middle of 9 and 1. The fact that I had played so many without beating them kind of weighed on me. But I am working my way through them.

Shadow of the Colossus. I got to the sand snake colossus and just couldn't beat it. Also, GTASA. I put 40 hours into it and only played a little bit of the main story. Then there is Jade Empire. I think I was actually almost to the last boss then had to return it to the store and I just never finished it.

Also Lost Odyssey for me, think I made it around near the end of the third disc and stopped playing (sold it soon after). Long story short, the game is nowhere to be found here any more and I do get the occasional urge to finish it.

one game that I havent finished yet is Grand Theft Auto Vice City Stories for PSP. Its that level where you have to fly around in a helicotper to save someone from a gang of bikers. Bad thing about that level is you start very far away from that person you have to save. Not enough time either to save him

Red Dead Redemption. The game was boring so I just stopped and sold it but I hear that the ending was fantastic.

And Half Life 2, I really wanted to get to the end to see what happened but the game was just to bad to play imo and I just stopped. I still have it, but I have other many other) games to finish.

One- dont feel bad about red dead, it is boring all the way through even the end.

Two- half-life 2 was not bad in any way you are crazy.

Zelda: Twilight Princess. Sort of got out of the game playing mood around the time of its release. I tried twice but never finished--I plan on trying once more before SS, which I must buy a wii to play. Odd because I'm a Zelda junkie.

Prince of Persia series

God of War series

Two of my greatest blunders in my gaming history, with college and crap in the way and all these new releases, I don't really have time to go back to the sixth gen classics. Sad face.....:(

Lost Odyssey. I loved playing it at the time though and will happily start again once the games releases dry up again.

Vagrant Story. One of my favourite games of all time, but I got stuck near the end and never went back to it. Would love to play it again some day.

Final Fantasy 12. I'm like 60 hours in and was having a LOT of fun, but then I got a new PS3 and Uncharted 2 happened.

And now I haven't played FF12 in months and I'm so far in the game that its going to be brutal to jump in again with the kind of rust I'm going to have :/. I should have finished it before buying that PS3.

I regret very much to say this, but I have not beaten Half Life 1. It was the first video game I ever bought, and it still lies unfinished. But there is a reason for this, first, I got 3 levels from the end of the game, then my steam got messed up so I had to uninstall everything... and forgot to backup data... Then I played it again, got just a bit farther, and somehow the game data got corrupted... again.. I never learn. I want to finish it, I just never can find the time to. very sad...

For sure, to name a few:

Risen (360)

Jade Empire (XBOX)

Rogue Galaxy (PS2)

Dragon Quest IV (DS)

Untold Legends (PSP)

I, of course, still plan to finish these up sometime.

People who haven't finished Lost Odyssey need to go and do that right now. It's easily one of my top 10 games of this generation. Underrated and overlooked. Hidden gem.

Super Mario 1, 2 & 3 - I guess I was too young to get all the way through Baldur's Gate 2 - HD died when I was about 90% of the way through I never restarted it Oblivion - started this on 4 different occasions across 2 different platforms and problems resulted in saves being lost, in the end I got sick of playing the first 10-15 hours of the game.. -_- It's all that really comes to mind, I eventually finish most of what I start.. even if I don't always get 100% of the achievements or trophies.

A friend and I traded Fallout 3 for Modern Warfare for like 2 months of time. Although I don't like shooters and probably wouldn't have enjoyed it, I wish I had at least put it into my system once to see what all of the hoopla is about.

Going back to old school games, I can't beat the Labyrinth Zone boss in Sonic 1. I've used the level select code to skip that boss and complete the game, but I've always felt bad about not being able to legitimately beat it. It's the only 2D Sonic game that I haven't completed. There is one jump in Mario 1 level 8-2 that I can't make (I've had 30 lives and lost all of them at this one jump) and I've never been able to beat the game because of it. Streets of Rage 3 is another one that I can't beat, but the US version of that game is impossibly difficult on normal so I don't feel that bad about still never completing it.

People who haven't finished Lost Odyssey need to go and do that right now. It's easily one of my top 10 games of this generation. Underrated and overlooked. Hidden gem.Elann2008

This. People write it off because it was exclusive to Xbox and assume that any praise is solely from xb fanboys, but it really is one of the better games this generation. I don't think any game tops it for writing and I love how you can customize your characters skills to a degree that I usually only see in WRPGs. The only knock I can think of is the lack of voice in every dialog scene.

And now, if you try it again, the out-dated control-scheme will be painful to return to.

I never finished Legend of Dragoon. I still have my disc and I think I made it to the last disc, but I got caught up in level grinding and never finished the game. I'm a little ashamed since people have always commended it for being so good.

Not really, I replay the older RE games quite often. Infact, I prefer the older games to 4 and 5.

I got to the last disc on Lost Odyssey as well, and my 360 pootered out on me. Still have the game, just haven't felt the itch to put it back in. Shame, because I was enjoying it and playing like crazy before the death of my 360. One day I will see the ending hopefully, I disagree with the poster who said Kaim was a snore, the Dream Sequences revealed more about him, his background, and his personality than anything I've ever experienced before in a game. It was truly magnificent.

The Witcher. I found it to be.. fun.But it wasn't compelling enough to finish.Sure wish I could go back and do it now though.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2. Well.. I guess I don't regret it but I feel like I should finish all my FF labeled games that I play.

KOTOR. I guess I was a little late to the party. I played it for a while, but playing KOTOR after finishing Dragon Age: Origins is rough. One day I want to finish it to see what all the ruckus was about.

Megaman Legends 2. It's sitting in my desk, why don't I play it!? I regret not finishing the game when I was madly in love with it.

Life sure has a way of getting between me and my habits man.

Ugh... this is a hard topic for me. I regret not finishing Xenogears. The reason I never finished it was because right at the end of disc two my PS1 memory stick was erased. All data gone, all that time and effort up in smoke. I never had the heart to go back and do it again. Even though I do know what happens at the end of the game now after all these years. Although now that it is on the PS3, I might go through it.

Seeing as I have a rather compulsive side to me, I nearly always finish any game I start.

Untill last year I had a guilty concience because I never finished "the last guardian" on my NES, I managed to find the game again, (sold it back then, kept the NES)

Now the only one is Assassins Creed 2, Im playing itthrough now, I always burn out on it somehow, it may be the overly long drawn out unskippable conversations, the incredibly bad and corny script. Or the rather slow and relatively clunky movement.

I WILL finish it tho, overall it is not a bad game, but it just slows to a dreadful crawl from time to time, and me being compulsive means that I need to find every feather, visit every vantage point, upgrade everything in the mansion, get all weapons, and solve all fetch and puzzle ish quests.

It is alot to do. and I suppose that may have something to do with me burning out on it. Well that and those Bards -.- one day theyre gonna get it -.-
