Do you have any games that you like but you never finished for any reason? Which game is it? Doesn’t matter how many times you play and replay it you just never get to see the credits roll. I think Skyrim gonna be a quite common answer xD

I’ve started but never finished plenty of games but one always annoyed me till recently was factorio. I had over a hundred hours and I never even automated blue science.
Then a few months ago I said screw it, started a new save and over the course of 3 months and 150h I finally launched a satellite into space.
I am quite happy now that I did “beat” it but I’ll probably revisit it soon, either to try improve my base or to play modded.
I finish all of my games nowadays, but in the past, I regret to have stopped playing at Skies of Arcadia. It’s an awesome game, and I almost finished it back in the days, but I was stuck and I stopped trying at some point. That’s a game I will definitely finish someday :).
There are plenty of games I thought were good but couldn’t get into, or games where I got distracted and fell off them. So I’ll limit this list to games where I got really far along and then made a conscious decision to stop.
Persona 4 Golden, at the start of the Golden content. I wanted to be done and it was too much to ask me to do another, even longer dungeon.
Zelda: The Wind Waker. I acknowledge it as a good game, but I just did not like sailing around.
Very recently, Age of Wonders 4. I really disliked the last story map and how many factions were running around.
Metal Gear Solid V. Reused missions in the second act, nuff said.
Besides the very first Zelda, this is the only other one I actually DID finish, lol.
@jessuwu Wind Waker on GameCube was indeed a chore. I always meant to replay it after the first playthrouhh but it was just a huge time investment. If you ever get a chance to play the remake on your Wii U (or some other means), you can get access to a fast sail relatively early on that makes it a lot more fun. Sailing was so slow in the gamecube version as basically an alternative to a loading screen so it’s so slow for a technical reason not a gameplay reason. And further into the game you get a fast travel option that cuts down on sailing times even further.
The vast vast majority of games I play.
Oxigen Not Included, RimWorld, Gone Medieval, Stationeers, Starbound, Stardew Valley, etc
Maybe I’m doing it wrong, but oxygen not included sucks on the Steam Deck, at least handheld.
RimWorld and ONI end when everyone dies or you get a cooler base idea and restart. I don’t think I ever played either to the proper end.
The Stanly Parable. Just can’t seem to get past the broom closet.
on a serious note Starcraft 2 Legacy of the Void. I’ve literally not even touched single player.
You might be interested to know that a bunch of the people involved in SC2 made their own company to start working on a new RTS called Stormgate because Blizzard wasn’t interested in letting them make another RTS.
I’m strangely not as hyped for Stormgate as I thought I would be when it was announced
I should continue playing StarCraft 2. Played the crap out of the first and loved it every second, but something is missing in 2
the story line is kinda trash, multiplayer is good but because of good path finding units clump together making AOE incredibly effective.
High burst DPS just means games can end in seconds after possibly 10 minutes of build up, it can get real old real fast. but watching professionals do it is still great.
I have such an issue with not finishing games that I really enjoy because I don’t want them to end. I put off the final part for so longer that I stop playing the game. Never killed Ganon in BOTW, never actually finished Elden Ring
I think I’ve put over 500 hours into Skyrim and still haven’t met the Greybeards. What a game.
Final Fantasy 12 is another game I keep picking up every couple years and I swear I keep dropping it at the same point every time.
Dragon Age Inquisition I really need to pick up again, that was a good one, but I need to finish Horizon Zero Dawn first, then go back to Elden Ring, probably pick Witcher 3 back up at some point… yeah, I have a lot of unfinished games.
So many! Right now I’m chipping away at Persona 5 Royal, but also on my list are RDR2, Witcher 3, Divinity Original Sin 2, Elden Ring, Dragon Age Inquisition…I want to pick up Yakuza Like a Dragon and Diablo IV but it doesn’t feel worth it yet since I don’t have much time to play these days
That’s a great list of games for this question. Several good games on there with pacing issues in the middle, the kind that would make you drop the game.
Only one I don’t relate to is Witcher 3.
Yep, I have a bad habit of getting like 3/4 through a game and never finishing it. I’ve been meaning to go back to Yakuza: Like A Dragon at some point because I’m pretty sure I’m nearly at the end by now, but for some reason I can’t bring myself to launch the game again and just finish it.
Most. lol
Dark Souls 1 and 2. Never beat their final bosses because I don’t want the game to be NG+ afterwards.
all of them. no seriously, I have a habit of avoiding the endings thinking I will play more with open worlds and then stop playing.
Horizon: Zero Dawn. I got absolute shite aim on the best of days and playing on a controller just makes it worse. Switched to m+kb eventually, but by then, the experience was already marred. Think I’ll give it some more time, then try again.
Most games I’ve ever played
Subnautica:Below Zero.
I got quite far, I think. But the overworld bits are just kind of bland, and boring.
It seemed to be missing a key ingredient in the level design that the first had.
Yeah, that’s part of it for sure. Another part is that exploring felt much more natural in the original. You got a radio signal, went to the coords, and maybe you’d find something you hadn’t before. It helps survivability and allows more exploration. Below Zero didn’t have that, instead it had me find body parts for an alien, which doesn’t do anything till the end game.
