Monopoly
Crash Bandicoot
Same until the remaster came out, when I was a kid I beat 2 and 3 but never finished 1 due to the disc being too scratched to load one of the later levels.
Blasphemous. Fantastic game, great atmosphere, but a little too tedious, too much backtracking, etc.
The one that still pains me to this day is Black Mesa.
I thoroughly enjoyed it, I even played it before the last chapter was done. I was really excited to go through the redesigned Xen levels, and was enjoying every minute.
Then they throw that massive spider into a huge arena filled with micro obstacles that prevent you from properly avoid all the multiple types of attacks it throws at you, while absorbing insane amounts of rockets.
I’m not a skilled gamer but I was moving through the game just fine until someone decided to crank the difficulty to eleven.
That killed the game right there for me. Other than that, it’s a brilliant game that I heartily recommend.
Baldurs Gate 3.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the game, and I’m sure I will finish it at some point. I just played it too much for a while, and found myself rushing for the main quest and ignoring side quests right after arriving at Baldurs Gate. I took that as a sign that I was in “just get it over with”-mode, so I decided to take a break for quite some time so that I can one day return to the game, take a step back, and continue with the pace that I had to begin with.
I’ve finished nearly all at least once.
But I’ve played Skyrim for thousands of hours and only ever completed the main questline once.
You guys finish games?
Right? This question is basically asking for a list of games I love, excluding the ones that somehow tricked me into finishing them
The Witcher 3. Game looks great and fun but I spend so much time trying to upgrade my gear but it never felt that I got any stronger. Maybe I will revisit and look up a guide our something.
Hollow Knight, I got about 70% through, but then it got too difficult. Still enjoyed the part that I played though.
I absolutely loved that game until it got too hard for me or I got too anxious about losing my souls (putting me in an even worse position from them on). Probably also about 70% in.
Sadly I played it on Switch, otherwise I would have used some kind of mod to lower the difficulty. Doing that would have sucked, but never finishing the game sucks even more…
Divinity: Original Sin 2. I played co-op with my wife. The first time, we got most of the way through act 2 before visiting family over the holidays. More recently (starting a fresh game), we made it much closer to the end, finishing several characters’ personal quest lines, before yet another holiday interrupted our game.
Each time, we just never really felt like picking it back up. Maybe we’ll get back to our “current” game at some point. Otherwise, I suppose I’ll play it solo at some point. Of course, that’s how this run started – she just saw me playing and wanted to play again.
Its my white whale. Some day ill crush that game
Unfortunately Stardew Valley. But now I don’t have much time and I lost my save file, so I would have to start all over again.
There’s no end to it though
I know, I mean I haven’t really played it much and haven’t progressed far. I feel like I missed out on a huge part of the game. Will definitely get back to it some day.
It would be easier for me to list the games I had a good time with and did finish. I think the most recent one was Outer Wilds. And that was over a year ago. And even that I put down before finishing in a sense because I started but never finished the DLC
I never finished Bravely Second. I loved Bravely Default, but for some reason I just stopped playing the sequel.
Almost all of them. I rarely finish a game. For a variety of reasons, all added together. The closer I get to the end, the more I want to put it off if I’m enjoying a game, so I will keep finding more and more nuanced stuff to do instead. A new game comes out and I eventually completely forget one of the 10 games I’m currently actively playing when it temporarily becomes 11, then back down to 10. My friends stop playing a game, but my character relied on them… maybe I’ll just start over with a character that can solo. Maybe that game will just go on the pile of “not today, but I’ll play it soon”, until it’s been in the pile so long that there isn’t much point anymore.
I should mention I am autistic and likely adhd but I haven’t got that diagnosed yet. So while some of this is probably normal behaviours, some of it probably isn’t too.
This may reveal me to be some kind of weirdo, but I’ve never managed to finish any Zelda other than the very first one on NES. I’ve gone back and tried other Zelda games over the years, they all seem interesting to start with but I just end up putting them down at some point and losing interest entirely.
I love a lot of single-player action RPGs and always have, but for some reason the most popular series of them ever consistently fails to vibe with me.
I was actually coming in to say the Switch Zelda games. BOTW and TOTK were both fantastic, but I never finished them because it never felt like I had done “enough” to actually go fight Ganon.
So odd as I feel I may be the Ying to your yang. The first zelda is maybe the only one I haven’t completed. I think it was incredible for it’s time but I think modern controls have left me in a place where I get bored with that entry too quickly.
