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

So many. Skyrim among them. In the same vein, I've never finished Oblivion or Fallout: New Vegas, either, despite massive hour counts in all of the above and owning them across multiple systems. I think I have some kind of disorder that if I really like a game, I can't force myself to finish it, because that'd mean it's over. As a result of that, I have hundreds of games that are proably about 3/4s complete. I don't get it.

Heretic, Hexen, and Hexen II.

Hollow Knight...need to put in the time to finish it at some point still.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Tons. Sometimes I don't get bored of the game, per se, just the genre, and start playing something totally different.

Witcher 3. Cyberpunk. Shadow of War. Horizon zero dawn. Ghost of Tsushima. Red dead redemption 2. God of war. Ratchet and Clank. Control. Returnal. Fire Emblem Engage, and Three Houses. Hollow knight. Xenoblade Chronicles 1, 2 and 3. Demons souls remake. Monster Hunter Rise. Outer Wilds. Death Stranding. Prey. FF7 remake. Half life Alyx. And many many many more.

I've played through most of them and tried replaying them multiple times but always get bored before the end.

The only reason I haven't purchased ff16 is because I know I won't finish it. That and it looks like a devil may cry clone so I'll wait for it to be on sale.

I have a major "never finish good games" problem. It's probably a shorter list to name games I have finished.

RDR2. I like every game design philosophy this game stands for. I love how slower-paced and contemplative, how tactile with everything it is. I just can't summon the excitement to go through the story.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

... most of them, embarrassingly. I buy games when they're on steep sale, but rarely actually gst to the end of them (Hollow Knight was the last one I completed, as I recall).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Played heaps of Warhammer and rarely reach the long victory condition. Ah well one day maybe I'll finish a full campaign!

Witcher 3. So good. So hard to finish.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This is a game that should be my ideal game. Everything about it screams that I'd love it. But I've attempted to start it probably 6 different times, ranging between 2 and 10ish hours of play each time. I just can't get hooked and now I've done the intro too many times :( I really want to love this game.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Almost every game I have played in the past few years. Between personal life and a shit attention span it's harder to finish games I enjoy before jumping to the next one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

...you're supposed to finish them?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

lol I have never finished a game

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Divinity Original Sin, the first one. Always loses me somewhere in the middle and then it has been too long to come back.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm sure my list is crazy long, but:

  • Factorio
  • Fortresscraft evolved
  • Any witcher game
  • I never accomplish my goals in star citizen before a wipe
  • I never accomplished my goals in wow before the next patch hit

And probably a lot I forgot about. My gaming career is a chaotic trail filled with the wreckage of unfinished games.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Shameful to say but The Witcher 3 WH. I love the game and the plot but somehow I always get overwhelmed and drop off.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Neverwinter Nights 2

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Darkest Dungeon, in my case. Love the vibe, love the gameplay, realise that I'll be doing basically the same thing for the next 60 hours if I want to beat it, lose interest.

The outer worlds by obsidian

Felt like a spiritual successor to fallout: new vegas, loved the story. I've puttens of hours into it over multiple run throughs, I just can't seem to stick with it to the end. Worst part is I have no idea how close I've got. Was I an hour away from beating it? 10 hours? I think I'll go download it again honestly

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I did finish this game and I was disappointed with the length (which is a good thing). But also i remember feeling that it was pretty obvious that the end game was coming up soon. So maybe you weren't close.

Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto Vice City. The missions are incredibly difficult.

And I never thought I'd finish Grand Theft Auto San Andreas until I finally figured out what I was doing wrong with Big Smokes Mission.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

All you have to do is follow the damn train.

I think Vice City is the only one I've actually finished from that era.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The list is long, I've started and stopped each of these games so many times.

  • Assassins Creed Odyssey
  • Cyberpunk 2077
  • Dark Souls 3
  • DOOM
  • Skyrim
  • GTA 5
  • Halo Infinite
  • Hogwarts Legacy
  • Horizon Zero Dawn
  • Mass Effect all of them
  • Red Dead 2
  • Titanfall 2
  • Undertale

I need help, someone tell me which to pick first and I'll just finish it!
