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

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.

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.

Terraria

I have so many world with Moonlord arenas ready to fight him, but my completionist anxiety prevents me from ever using them

Life Is Stange

I went in knowing the decision I would have to make at the end. Over the course of the game however, I realized that I didn't wanna choose either of the options. So I gave myself a third option: Don't finish the game. Now the characters all live happily in the limbo of incompletionism

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I did the same with Life is Strange. But it still was an amazing time playing it.

The Final Fantasy 7 Remake.

I got to the point where I nearly finished it, but I just stopped playing. I was enjoying it so I figured that I'd wait a few years till the whole of it was out to finish the first part. That way I can go through it and not have to be stuck listening to news and rumors as to when the story would finish.

Zelda Twilight - there's a bit where you have a frog like monster that gives me trypophobia. I never was able get past that bit.

Outer Wilds. I got super into it for a few days, got distracted and stopped for a bit, then couldn’t remember what I was supposed to do when I picked it up again. I should really start again from scratch but haven’t been able to convince myself to do so yet

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I was in to this one too but it made me car sick in the worst way. Eventually I just put it down and didn't go back

I have to restart Hollow Knight because I got stuck in an impossible area called the king's dream I think? I got fed up with the difficult challenge and could exit it so I quit

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I have 371 games in my Steam account, not including any GOG or Epic games. I have 1 game with all the achievements and my average completion rate is 25%. I would say I rarely "finish" a game. I just move on to the next one. And that's ok with me.

Dishonored 2. Got tired of going for pacifist route to get the "good ending".

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Pacifist? I beat them all up, Batman style. Every guard on every level got severe concussion, but nobody died, on my Good playthrough.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Finally finished Pathfinder WOTR. Kept remaking characters and then finally played one all the way through. Took forever though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Summoner. Originally had it on ps2, now on steam. I pick it up every few years, but have never finished it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (12 hours played). Wasteland 2 (44 hours played). Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous (49 hours played).

And many others but those are probably the ones where I put more hours in before quitting.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I got like 40 hours into MGSV and I just got burnt out on it. I feel that going back I would probably have a better time but the first time I was obsessively doing the side missions and it just killed it for me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Oh yeah, MGSV. Think I got to 50 hours, realised I was only halfway through, and put it away forever. Great game, but far too long.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I love the MGS series, I used to play the first MGS over and over again. I played and loved 2 despite Raiden, loved 3, loved 4 despite Kojima's insistence that actually the best gameplay is a movie length cutscene. I was so amped for 5, played through Ground Zeroes, launched 5, finished the escape from the hospital at the start, and haven't played it since. Somehow 5 is where the weebery got to me. I need to give it another chance.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Heretic, Hexen, and Hexen II.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Pretty much every GTA game, unfortunately. I always get distracted. I bucked down and beat RDR2 last month, and it was amazing.

Also Cyberpunk.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Persona 5. Very good gameplay but too damn long.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Shadows of Mordor. I've started the game a few times. Thought "oh yeah this is a game I could sink hours into". Then I get bored, turn the game off, and won't touch it for another year.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

Monster Hunter Iceborne and Rise. The problem is that I keep trying to get all the Hunting Horns! You can't get every weapon without going crazy. Love those games though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

A lot of other people's nostalgia games. Controls were so bad back in the day. The most notable example would be Vampire Masquerade.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Divinity Original Sin Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle Yoshi's Crafted World Skyrim Ixion (I definitely wanna go back to this, though) Donkey Kong Country (all 3) Fallout: New Vegas Fallout 4 (at least, I don't THINK I got a credits roll) Space Chem

There's an indie platformer called Unepic that's genuinely one of my favourite games, one of the few I've bought more than once to have it on all of my consoles and my PC, that I've started multiple times. There's one boss I get stuck on, every single time. Normally, I'll just sleep on it when I can't get past a boss (literally, to give my brain time to solidify that muscle memory I built up in my attempts that day, try it out yourself!), the next day my playthrough almost always goes a bit smoother. But not with this game, oooh boy, not at all with this game. I end up rage quitting, every single time
