Which games haven't you finished yet?

Splinterdog · May 15, 2019

I'm quite impulsive, especially when the Steam sale starts and usually graze from one game to another.
I still haven't finished:
Bought during the last 12 months...
Far Cry 5- almost there
The Division - those fire wielding bosses
Ghost Recon Wildlands - losing interest
Just Cause 3 ( the last transmitter is impossible)
Just Cause 2
Metal Gear Solid V - I got a tad bored
Sniper Elite V2 and 4 (Hitler escaped)
Alien isolation - it's just too f***g scary
All the Bioshocks - lost interest
Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 - lost all my saved games

All the Stalkers - just got bored stiff of all the dank atmosphere
Project IGI - still trying to complete the last level since 2002
Need For Speed - Hot Pursuit. such a great game that I'm not in a hurry to finish.
Forza 4 - too many silly emotes and hats
No Man's Sky - I thought the music was stunning.
Watch Dogs 2/BF1 - only just started them

The benefit of all this, is that I'll never be short of a game to play

TheLostSwede · May 15, 2019

Finished? You can finish games?

Chomiq · May 15, 2019

Pillars of Eternity - got into it, pushed through for a couple of days, dropped it mid Christmas break, never came back
Gravity Rush - started to play, got into it for a few hours, felt repetitive and story was a bit boring,
Borderlands 2 - got into it through co-op with friends, played for a few hours, never came back
Darksiders - somehow it didn't connect, I do plan to revisit the Warmastered Edition
Dead Island - couldn't get through the beginning, maybe I'll give it another chance at some point

Ebo · May 15, 2019

Ghost recon wild lands, just lost interest
Deus ex mandkind devided, just a boring game
wolfenstein: the new order I just hate boss fights

Ahhzz · May 15, 2019

Pillars of Eternity to start... my list is long. I'll add to it later

Nice hall of shame :toast:

Splinterdog · May 15, 2019

Hall of shame lol.
I like that.

Need to add:
Dead Space, which I got free on Origin and really struggled with because of those scary creeps with swords for hands.
Plants vs Zombies - not my cuppa tea.
Both Mirror's Edge games - liked them both tremendously, mainly because of the pace, but some of those jumps were impossible.
Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon and FC Primal - I must get bored easily.

Flogger23m · May 15, 2019

I don't get people who start a story based game, play a few hours and then switch to something else. You'd enjoy it more if you sat through and finished it. It would be like watching a movie for 30 minutes, then stopping, start watching something else for 15 minutes and than stopping that to watch 20 minutes of some other film. Just makes the story and lore much harder to get into.

Only games I stop playing are games that are absolutely so buggy that I can't finish or games that bore me within the first 45-60 minutes. Just Cause 4 is my most recent example. Barely 3 hours in, constant crashing. Must have been close to 20 times. Horrible graphics, bad gameplay, everything was terrible. Refunded.

Deleted member 67555 · May 15, 2019

I have 164 games on steam and I've beaten like 7 of them... LoL
I was excited for Rocket league until I played it.
I guess it would be easier to say I like Nether realm, Treyarch and Bioware... Liked every game I played from them

Splinterdog · May 15, 2019

I had the same experience with JC4 and also refunded.

I had the same experience with JC4 which I also refunded, like you.
I very often leave a game and return to it later, as I have done with most of the Tomb Raider games. There are evenings for tombs, evenings for slash and shoot and others for racing around a track. I don't see anything odd about that.
I do the same with Netflix and abandon a show if I see it's going nowhere. Or I'll be watching something my wife doesn't like while she's cooking or doing her hair and then return to something we both like, later on..
Variety is the spice of life.

blobster21 · May 15, 2019

After a quick look at what i have in store, the following games i did not finish:
Wolfenstein : the old blood
Wolfenstein II : The new colossus (did not even start playing)
GRIP : combat racing

I'm glad to say i finished most my games, several times

(and i'm just the shadow of the gamer i used to be, growing old mind you)

xtreemchaos · May 15, 2019

crysis 3, ive only just got past the thing with 8 arms just past the quadcopter ride and shoot up after blowing the big cannons up. my fault for having it on the hardist setting

.

blobster21 · May 15, 2019

my fault for having it on the hardist setting

Beware ! insane difficulty, aim bot, etc.... sometimes leads to frustration.....which leads to flying keyboards/gamepads across the room, rage quit and game uninstall.

Yep, that makes two. Tried several times and never really stuck around for long.

Rahnak · May 16, 2019

Not an extensive list.. I know there's quite a few I'll never get to (looking at you, Sonic games).

Games I've started
Agarest: Generations of War - Started this game twice already and lost interest both times. Third time's the charm?
Batman: Arkham City - Played about halfway through long ago, lost my save somehow.
Chaos on Deponia - Story got a little too boring and it lost me. Gotta finish it one of these days.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse - Got stuck in the story, I think?
FEZ - Didn't play for a while, totally lost my bearing. Need to start over.
King's Quest - I was enjoying it for the most part. Started playing something else with a little more action and never came back to it.
PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate - Little more than halfway done.
Psychonauts - Got bored.
Starbound - Stopped playing because the game stuttered too much.
Tales of Symphonia - Got lost in the story.
Transistor - Something more interesting came along.
Trine & Trine 2 - One day...
Valkyria Chronicles - Played the first mission and liked it. Dunno why I stopped playing.

Games I haven't touched yet
Broken Sword 3, 4 and 5
Dust: An Elysian Tail
Goodbye Deponia
LEGO: The Hobbit
LEGO: The Lord of the Rings
Magicka 2
Pillars of Eternity
Sanctum 2
Shadowrun Returns
Shadowrun Dragonfall
Shadowrun Hong Kong
A Story About My Uncle
Assassin's Creed Unity
Assassin's Creed Chronicles China

On the PS4
Persona 5
inFamous Second Son & Dying Light

"ALL OF THEM!"

infrared · May 20, 2019

I'm terrible for not finishing games! I want to finish Prey and metro exodus at some point.

I finished Prey but the Moon Crash DLC I started to play, and since I haven't bothered with it.
Started playing Pillars of Eternity but I never finished it.

Toothless · May 20, 2019

Let's just say all of them.

I can't finish Prey it wont bloody let me but all the rest of the games I own I have some 3 or more times like Skyrim and Grid and few others

EntropyZ · May 21, 2019

I haven't even started Deus Ex: MD, I find replaying Deus Ex: HR to be a complete chore on the highest difficulty, the first boss is just OP AF and I run out of ammo to throw at him.
Postal 2, it's just been sitting there after I got it for pennies on steam store.
When I was a kid, I've only seen my brother ever play Project IGI, I wonder if he ever finished the game, he was retrying this one mission so many damn times, you could see the anger on his face. Maybe it's something I should try, you know for my mental health.

Played a bit of Metro: Last Light after beating 2033, and I got bored, didn't pick it up since then, that was 4 years ago... Maybe I found out S.T.A.L.E.R CoP exists.
Trying to get all achievements in Skyrim SE, but I keep creating new characters all the time so I just give up half-way through after completing the main quest and both DLCs.
Serious Sam 3, because playing on higher difficulties is a save scum fest.
Rise of The Tomb Raider, because of Skyrim.

StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void & Mass Recall mod, because of Skyrim, again.
Dark Souls 1 & 2, because turning online play is fun, amirite?

I found out what qualifies a good game for me, it's something that I can complete in 2-5 sittings, and the first few hours make me want to see the whole thing through until the end.
But there are times when the story drags on, or I just start doing optional stuff as a completionist, lose myself. Start playing another game at some point and completely forget about the one I played previously.
OR it can be something I just have to do, 'cause if I don't, it feels like this in my head. "Ohhhhh, son. I am dissapointu, do not show your face"

So it wasn't just me, only played roughly 3 hours.

I'm telling you, that game seems... Off. The guns feel strange, enemies have attacks that you can barely avoid and you're made out of wet paper.

And. AND. That stupid level in the beginning where you're in the dark the whole time. Breaks my nuts.

Someone made mods like this... even though they disable achievements.

There's nothing more than I hate in classic games, like knockback that makes you fall into instant kill pits or hitscan enemies. I'm getting Ninja Gaiden 1 flashbacks, feels like I've gone through that game like yesterday.

biffzinker · May 21, 2019

Thanks for the links, wasn't aware of the mods. I never bothered looking at the game again.

Still need to finish the Talos Principle. I got stuck on a puzzle, and I'm not sure if the puzzle I was stuck on I figured out.
