Yesterday night, I was talking with Simon over MSN and at some point I told him which games I had never finished. Therefore I decided to write a blog about it, sort of make a list of my unfinished tasks within video gaming and give my reasons why wether be it that I hated the game or simply gave up. Fun isn't it? Probably not, but I'm still doing it cause everybody out there has unfinished games.
GameCube
- Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles I haven't finished this game yet. I play it along with my best friend and since we hardly get the chance to sit down and play video games together, we hardly play it. We are near the end though, we just need to level up a bit and once we're leveled up enough we can go on and finish the game.
- Super Mario Sunshine Basicaly I simply got bored of that game. Within the first minutes the game totally rocked, but after a couple time, damn did it get boring as **** .
- Medal of Honor: Frontline Well I did beat that game at least once, why do I consider it as unfinished? Because I haven't got the gold medals in each mission. I gave up on getting those gold medals in one stage where I'd kill absolutly everybody I ever seen yet I would always miss 5 enemies. After trying it again and again over 30 times I gave up.
- MegaMan Network Transmission Yes, in fact, I own a MegaMan game that I never finished. Impossible you say? But it is happening. That's my first discovery of the Battle Network series genre. Network Transmission itself was kinda cool but damn I didn't like it. My first thoughts were "that ain't MegaMan" but I was enjoying it..after 20 minutes I took it up and never played it again.
- MegaMan Anniversary Collection Now, I own both the GC and PS2 versions ONLY cause both had a different bonus at the end for beating the game. Thing is, I did beat the PS2 one, but the awkward buttons in the GC collection had me to give up on the Inafune interview at the end.
- Metroid: Prime My first try at the Metroid games. I didn't like it, I put it back in the shelf and never touched it again.
DS
- Brain Age Well how can it be unfinished? I have only 50% of the Sudoku puzzles cleared. I do one puzzle each week usually so eventually it'll be done.
- StarFox Command I just totally suck at this game so I never was able to get past the third missiuon or so (if I even got that far in the beginning). gave up on it.
GBA
- MegaMan Battle Network 2 I thought I could get in the NT series by trying early titles. Nope, not at all. I dislike it even more now.
- MegaMan Battle Chip Challenge That game was cool! at first anyway. Got bored of it, I'm definately not meant for the NT series. So if anyone ever tells me again that I hate on the MegaMan NT series without having tried em, ya'll know it's not true. I did try them, I also used to have Battle Network 3 but it sucked just as much as the second and all the others did.
PS2
- BloodRayne 2 Man I totally love that game! I just never really took the time to go further than where I got first without dieing. Once I died I just didn't feel it and was like " **** it" and put it back on the shelf. I dunno why. I do find it absurd to play a second title without having the first title, but I never liked the first BloodRayne. BloodRayne 2 is a title I will most likely engage sometime again since it is an amazing game, I just wasn't feeling it when I bought it. Ya know how that feels? It's like watching a movie you didn't feel like watching, but 1 year later you feel like watching it and you think the movie totally kicks ass.
- Call of Duty: Finest Hour Man do I ever suck at war games. I got up to the third mission and then it's death over and over even today after all that time of having bought it. I just plain suck at it. Worst than StarFox Command.
- Dark Cloud Now that's an amazing game that I am ashamed of having never finished it. I think It's because I was stuck somewhere and just forgot about it over the time. Dark Cloud is a game I regularly think about restarting over from the beginning.
- Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition I know this is in my "currently playing" list, but since I try to play games one at a time nowadays I simply put new games I bought in my list that way I won't forget that I have yet to start those games once I'm done with the current games. I am currently truely playing Kingdom Hearts II and Metal Gear Solid PO. One game for each console, no further else 'll get lost in my storylines.
- Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories The game is extremly well done, I love the battle aspect and how it was made, but damn do I hate the story. Story is uninteresting and makes the game boring. Period.
- Final Fantasy X-2 Simply said, I hate that game. I just NEEDED to know what happens after FFX, but turned out I hate the game and don't wanna go further than a big 20 minutes of playthrough.
- Final Fantasy XII The FF game that got me minded to never buy any other FF title that will come out in the future apart from remakes of old titles. Uninteresting story to me, can't stand uninteresting stories.
- Kingdom Hearts II I am currently playing KHII and am almost done with it.
- Manhunt Alright, I love Manhunt, I love the game, I have to admit it got way too hard for me. I don't know why, I usually love challenges, but at some point in the game I wasn't able to get any further so after a month of trying the same stage again and again, I gave up. I admit it.
- Rule of Rose I loved that game, but the really extremly poorly done gameplay controls got me to give up and put the game back in my shelf. That's truely the only reason I gave up. See, well done controls are important to me else it weakens the game to my eyes.
- Siren That game just truely suck. It looked cool, the box art was nice and creepy. But damn do the actual game suck. Sorry to Sirens fans, but that game truely sucks.
- Star Ocean: Till the End of Time That game rocks, but unfortunately I got bored with it..it was too eays and then far in the game BAM you keep dieing. I don't know what led to this but it had me to give up. The fact that I never played the first 2 titles before this one too made me wanna give up. I'm truely looking forward to the release of them 2 titles on the PSP that way I'll be able to start from the begining and finally finish the game.
- Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria This game is my next engagement once I finish KHII, and after VP2 it is DMC3. Just want to take the time and finish KHII before engaging it.
PSP
- Death Jr. Pretty unique game, had good hopes but sadly was badly executed. I got pretty far in it until I got bored with it and especially because of the controls. You can get used to them but ya know, could EASILY be improved.
- Final Fantasy I have yet to start it. I will start playing it once I'm done with Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops.
- Gunpey That's a pretty wicked game. Reason I put it as unfinished is I never ever was able to get as far as gathering every single different skins. Much too hard to do so..WAY too hard to do so. Still is an amazing game though.
- Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories Well, GTA was an awesome game but sadly it always comes back to the same so I eventually got bored with it. Though I managed to get pretty far, once I got a new game it didn't take me long to abandon GTA: LCS for the new game since GTA is pretty..for the least, repeatitive ever since GTA3.
- Lemmings Yep, I'm still stuck in that game. I can't manage to clear the final puzzles!
- Loco Roco Much like Gunpey, Lemmings and Lumines, Loco Roco is a game I pick up once in a while and try to continue playing. Only difference is that in Loco Roco it's easy to go further, while for the other titles I named I am unable to get further. I put Loco Roco in there cause I hardly play it anymore. Was one hell of an addictive game and was worth the money, but when you get a new game you easily jump from it to another. I feel like them puzzle games don't belong in an "unfinished tasks" list because well..they are games you pick up once ina while to play, but hey, I still put em in.
- Lumines I lack ONLY the final skin which requires you to score 999 999 points in challenge mode. I reached something like 850 000 points and ****ed up and well..I was so near and so pissed that I actually never tried it again. It seems like alot of my PSP games arr unfinished, but notice how most are puzzle games that don't really belong into the category "unfinished".
- MegaMan: Powered Up Only reason I put this one in is because I haven't cleared the game on all 3 difficulties using Oilman. I cleared the game with every single other characters on every single difficulty settings, but Oilman just plain suck as a character. So why hold back, I put this one in too.
- Metal gear Solid: Digital Graphic Novel I put this one in cause I haven't found everything. I've been through the entire novel, but for those who have the "game" will know about that 3D space graph thing with info on characters and a bunch of bla bla, well I haven't cleared that. Pretty useless but hey why not put it in.
- Metal gear Solid: Portable Ops I am currently playing it, I guess I'm near the end but I don't play it all that often. It's a wicked game though, I just often forget about playing it cause I'm that much stuck into Kingdom Hearts II lol.
- Mortal Kombat: Unchained I haven't entirely finished Konquest Mode though it doesn't bother me much. 've played through it before on Deception. All I really want from a MK game is pure fighting..not Konquest stuff.
- Ultimate Ghosts N Goblins I totally love that game, was much easier than the previous titles but unforutnately I didn't bother searching for the 22 rings or something you need to unlock the door to the final boss.
- WipeOut Pure Now that's some crazy game and it was one of my first PSP games. I put it in because I am totally unable to unlock the fastest modes of all. The mode I'm in right now (which I forgot which one it is) already makes my head dizzy and I am unable to see the walls coming or see whatever's coming because it's already too fast. I gave up.
