What are some great games you started to play but just never got around to finishing?

Heres my list.

1. Okami - Wi controls ruined this for me, they were so unresponsive

2. Zack & Wiki - It was just to damn hard, lol

3. No More Heroes - I didnt want to do the stupid side jobs before you get to play the awesome parts. I will finish it before the sequel though.

4. Metroid Prime 3 - Playing on hard was a mistake, i just got really frustrated.

Skies of Arcadia and Radiata Stories (the latter due to a brutal final boss that was exponentially harder than previous bosses in the game, and that's saying a lot).

Valkyria Chronicles - I love this game, but i've bought some others games like Silent Hill 3 or Shadow of the Colossus, and i cant find time to play Valkyria anymore.

Viewtiful Joe - The last level is really hard, not impossible, but again, is hard to find time to play it, specially now with Super Paper Mario.

FEAR - I love horror games and this is actually pretty good, but Company of Heroes has all my PC gaming time at the moment.

The Legend of Zelda: WindWaker - Yep, you guess it, the Triforce pieces quest, too damn annoying.

Basically, i dont have much free time to play games, and i have a lot of games to play right now.

Not counting games I've rented.... -re4 -okami -oblivion -mp3, that last level pisses me off there are games that I forced myself to finish as well. GTA4 was so bogged down I must have finished that game with my eyes half closed. Mario Galaxy was pushing it too, just to get that 100% completion I mean. zack and wiki was a great game imo, and I did finish it although parts of the final boss were FREAKIN CRUEL!

Mass Effect. I never really got into it. It felt so... shallow.

Fallout 3. I had a lot of fun with it, but I got bored. I'll be going back to it later though.

Wait, it was amazing, but you still got bored?

You have a good excuse for that one though. I just realized the other day how much of a hard time I had with that game compared to other FFs.

Got very fan into Zelda OOT but never finished. Got lost far into Metroid Prime (1), and didn't follow any guides.

Oh, and KOTOR 1. I got up to Malak, didn't have the force powers to destroy the bodies he was harvesting, so I never actually finished it!

Zack & Wiki- very hard game.

Mass Effect- it's not a bad game but I just can't seem to stay interested in it for more than 15 minutes or so at a time.

Same here... the RPG element in Bioshock killed me. I suck at making RPG decisions in games... and Bioshock's leveling up abilities left me screwed in the end of the game. So I gave up. Still waiting down the road to replay it.. lol.

Deus EX: I remember I borrowed it from a friend from school, not ehough time to finish it. Years later I got it pretty cheap, but now it feels so clumsy and old I can't even get past the first level without getting borred, and spot playing. Strange since I still play some old PC games.

I felt the same way. Just do yourself a favor and don't give up just yet. Just get to the Hong Kong level. Once you get there, you wont be able to stop.

[QUOTE="organic_machine"]Mass Effect. I never really got into it. It felt so... shallow. Cherokee_Jack

Wait, it was amazing and shallow?

I like to say that it had style, but little substance. The gameplay was quite streamlined, so it looked impressive without actually being deep, and the story was told very cinematically to cover up the whole "uh, we don't have much of a plot - let's just copy one of our older games and see if anyone notices" element.
I can't say that I didn't enjoy it, but it's not a great RPG, imo.

Anyway, back on topic:

  • Super Paper Mario (if that counts as an amazing game) - it was just so incredibly dull in the later levels.
  • STALKER: SoC - I missed an objective somewhere, kept going, then couldn't be stuffed fighting my way back towards it. Plus, I always felt like I was missing out on useful items, etc.
  • Pikmin - I kept restarting if I lost a few pikmin. :P
  • Gothic - Other games got in the way.
  • Gothic 3 - Saved in a highly volatile area, kept dying, never fixed it.

There are a lot of games I start and never finish. Devil May Cry: First one is my favorite and the only one I never beat. Resident Evil 4: Damn you Capcom! Now I have to focus on part 5 when that comes out. GTA 3: I probably never got past the 6th or 7th mission in that game. Shadow of the Colossus: I regret this so much. Word of advice to anyone who plays this- Shadow is not a game but an experience that must be taken to the end!

Ico-Got stuck and just never got around to finishing it.

Ninja Gaiden II-Way too hard.

Lost Odyssey-Amazing, but very long and I got stuck.

I'll beat Ico and Lost Odyssey eventually, doubt I have the skill to beat Ninja Gaiden II though.

Oblivion. Maybe half way through the main story, but barely scratched the surface of everything else. I'll probably finish it...one day.
