I never finished a massive pile of games, mostly because they failed to grip me, or because I got bored of them in short order. I'm probably getting old, and by far prefer reading books for storylines (if anyone here hasn't read Iain M. Banks' Culture books, DO IT) rather than play games in recent years. As a result I tend to put hundreds of hours into things like Crusader Kings 2, Stellaris, Cities: Skylines, Rimworld, Battletech (Roguetech mod), FTL (Endless mod) and the like, rather than play storyline based games (whereas previously I played Baldur's Gate 2 multiple times, and Mass Effect 1 and 2 as every possible combination of classes, romance subplots and paragon/renegade choices).
My list of gaming shame includes (in no particular order):
Metro 2033
S.T.A.L.K.E.R
Half-Life (and this no 2, and hence I don't care for the HL3 memes)
The Witcher (and as a result I never played 2 or 3)
Heavy Rain
Dragon Age II
Final Fantasy XIII
Metal Gear Solid V
Deus Ex: Human Revolution (and as a result none of the rest of the series)
Red Dead Redemption 1 (and thus no RDR2)
Skyrim
Fallout 4
Xenonaunts (But I played it a lot and I'll still get Xenonauts 2 - This is very much my kind of game, I just didn't really feel the need to finish a play-through after several)
Starpoint Gemini 2
Void Destroyer
Frozen Synapse
Orwell
This War of Mine
Borderlands (and thus no Borderlands 2 - I actually love the game, but it is rather grindey)
Pillars of Eternity
