games you don't want to finish (because they're so awesome)

Mussels · Dec 27, 2009

now that the threads back on topic

My games that fit the OPs question:

Fallout 3
Dragon age origins
Borderlands (barely, it was a lot better in the first half of the game)
Portal (who doesnt want more?)
Trine (last level sucked, everyone wishes there was more game, and not that

)

See this is one of the reasons why I like sims. Even with a structured game like NFS Shift, theres always a millisecond you can shave off the time (and Shift isn't even the best example, though I like it).

Something like DCS Black Shark, the Russian heli-sim, has so much depth to it that I can play for ever. And if you get bored then just build your own missions, brilliant!

olithereal · Dec 27, 2009

World of Goo
Dragon Age: Origins
Mass Effect
STALKER games
Fallout 3
Portal
The Witcher
Oblivion...wait nvm(need more RPGs with open endings

).

Frick · Dec 27, 2009

Freelancer. Sweet lord, that game should never have ended.

Yukikaze · Dec 27, 2009

Dragon Age: Origins - The ending was EPIC.
Mass Effect.
Knights of the Old Republic.
Baldur's Gate.
Baldur's Gate II.
Star Control 2 - Amazing, amazing, amazing game. I still play it (Opensource clone) and the thing was released in 1992 !
TIE Fighter - I broke several Joysticks killing those damned rebels

I have a feeling there are lots that didnt read through the OP...

This isnt a thread about games that sucked so you didnt finish them

This is a thread that a game was so good, you did----not----want---it--to-end.

Read Carefully!!

yup exactly, I was just sitting back going like wth :confused:

douglatins · Dec 27, 2009

Oblivion and Bioshock, Bioshock because it scares me, and Oblivion because every time i start to play the game I install a truck load of mods, but then in the middle I find out that one of them is fucking with the game balance, like, awesome equip/magic in the beggining.
I would like to start to play the game but the graphics are too old now

PP Mguire · Dec 27, 2009

OP original question.

Dragon Age Origins
Halo
Mechwarrior 4
Descent 2 Vertigo
Oblivion (first time around pre-mods)
CoD MW2
Fable

Mass Effect is the only game I can think of in recent memory.

Bingo.

I'm already drooling over the prospect of ME 2

.

Bioshock was nice too.
ff7 is mandatory and rightfully so..lol

SNiiPE_DoGG · Dec 28, 2009

Assassin's creed II has been an amazing game so far, I'm many hours in and I am pretty sure I have played over 15hrs - truly a great sequel which totally fixed all the repetitiveness of the first game. did I mention its beautiful and absolutely filled to the brim with things to do?

Bjorn_Of_Iceland · Dec 28, 2009

GTA4.. I wanted to follow through the story but somehow, knew it was going to end wich gave me that lonely feeling.

Portal also gave me that feeling. Reading reviews first, I knew that it would be short..

Ahhzz · Dec 28, 2009

Oblivion.

The rest I finished, but REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO.....

Orig. Baldur's Gate
Deus Ex
Wing Commander
Bioshock

FordGT90Concept · Dec 28, 2009

If I didn't want to beat it, I wouldn't have bought it.

crazy pyro · Dec 28, 2009

Saints row 2 (if you want to whinge about it, get over it, it's fun and that's what matters).
Halo 1 and 2, played through both on legendary with my friend, good times

.
Half-Life 2+ Episodes and portal, loved these so damn much it was unreal.
Rayman 2, pissed me off no end but still incredibly fun!
XIII, I never managed to get to the end because the difficulty curve seemed to go through the ionosphere at one point.
I'm enjoying GTA IV but can't say how much it'll be a case of this (can't wait to get back home and play more though!)

Soylent Joe · Dec 28, 2009

I usually lose interest in a game after about 3 hours of gameplay, except for some select titles (TF2, GTA 4, Gmod). So it's not really that I don't want to finish games, but that I can't. Oh, I do remember when playing LittleBigPlanet and Loco Roco, I was really sad when they ended and I wanted to play more, so I did, which was a good thing

boise49ers · Dec 28, 2009

Lots of them

Almost all the Call of Duty games. Doom 3, Half-Life 2 I couldn't wait for the other episodes to be released.
FEAR , so I'm playing it a third time. Quake 4. A few others I just can't think of them now. I'm always bummed
when a game ends if it was a good one.

+1 on Final Fantasy 7. I just didnt want it to end. After I beat Emerald and Ruby weapon, I almost had no choice but to end the game after I found everything and got the Gold Chocobo....

HookeyStreet · Dec 28, 2009

I didnt want Modern Warfare 2 to end............but they split it in 2 to make a 3rd part

I see SPY! · Dec 29, 2009

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
Knowing it would be the last game featuring our beloved Old Snake, I had been looking forward to playing it. When I finally had it in my PS3 and was looking at the main menu I just couldn't believe that I was finally going to play it.

Then, as I advanced through the story, I was feeling kinda sad because after ending it there would be no more Solid Snake. And when I finished it :ohwell:

The ending was so emotional :cry:

By the way, this was probably the best game I ever played in my life. My opinion, of course, but totally non-debatable :eek:

Solid Snake is awesome. And Big Boss too *wink*wink*

Just bought a PS3 with MGS4. It's a great game so far.

The Metal Gear Solid series is definitely a fantastic bunch of games.

Call of Duty MW2 (xbox)
I didn't want to finish it because it was so good But IW ended it before the mission was over........
so i don't feel like it's over dammit...

I think those Greedy Bast*rds did it on purpose, not for MW3, So they could sell it in expansion packs Like Half Life2, plus I bet they think it will make everyone feel better about paying for the new map packs.....

And every Wing Commander game ever made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (except 4)

johnnyfiive · Dec 29, 2009

FINAL FANTASY VII.

FF7 was the only game that I spent every day wanting to play anytime I had free time. Took me months to beat the game and I enjoyed every minute of it. I miss being 14 and playing Playstation.

Marineborn · Dec 29, 2009

um...fallout 3, i was sad when i finished that, like DAMMIT THERES SO MUCH MORE TO DO!! so i went back on a previous save and just never finished, then my wife overwrite my save with a new game and i died a little inside
