Sound Off: Amazing Games You Never Finished?

Amazing games are, strangely enough, few and far between. In any given year, we usually end up with three or four exceptional games, about a dozen serviceable ones and then a huge pile of crap. But even though the truly great games are limited in supply, it’s difficult to find the time to play them all to completion.

Take Skyrim, for example. By all accounts, Skyrim is one of the best games of the year. However, its ridiculously large 300+ hour experience is simply beyond the time the average gamer has to invest, and many will leave the game’s world with their missions unfinished. It’s not uncommon to walk away from a game, even when it’s a good one.


So in today’s Sound Off, we’d like to know which amazing games you’ve played that you never managed to finish. Games that you enjoyed, but just couldn’t find the time for. They’re out there, and we want to hear about it.


I’ll start – Red Dead Redemption. I’m not normally into Rockstar titles, but I found the natural open world of Red Dead alluring, and the characters interesting. I loved every minute I spent in that game, but for some reason just never found a way to finish it as new games hit shelves. It’s still sitting next to my Xbox, and even though I know it’s very good, I just haven’t had an interest in completing it.


What about you? What great games have you left hanging? Sound off!

there are various reasons why you couldn't finish a game. maybe the system died or something.

ive never finished secret of mana or xenogears.

mana i have no idea why i stopped, but xenogears, i came to the dues fight on disk two, but popsloader had that glitch. pissed me off.

Yeah but if it was amazing you would start it up again and curse and swear up to the point you left off then continue.

Ahaha...same bug & issue, and also, I also got pissed with he game cutting corners on disc two...engaging story in disc one, then happy "skipping " on the disc 2.." oh lets do giant robot battle..for no reason!!"...seat ona chair and narrate what could easily go into hours of talk and dungeons on disc 1 , just because they didn't have time to create a map... big bummer.
Now, if you didn't play secret of Mana is a big loss...one of the best RPG I ever played...great pixel art, Ring system, etcetc.

Need to go back to RDR toot :-( (family man's life is a tough one...)

F3AR
Bulletstorm
Persona 2: EP/IS
Persona 4
Castlevania: PoR/OoE/DoS
Fable III
Fallout: NV
Final Fantasy IV
Shinobido
Battlefield 3
Fate/Stay Night
Deus Ex: HR(DLC)
Minecraft

Also Skyrim has unlimited quests I think...the main quests(Alduin, civil war, guilds, etc.) don't last too long.

Have you ever finish anything in your life..ever..education, food, defecation, sex? Just curious. :P

P.S. Also I have this great idea for a brand new comical superhero. M'sieur Incomplet(Frenc h) kinda cross between Peppy Le Pew and Mr.Bean :lol:

# RE: WowAkaiOtoko 2012-01-11 18:01
Here's some answers to your questions -

Education: 11th grade
Food: Sometimes
Defecation: Yes
Sex: Male

Also, lol, that superhero might actually be good except he'd never finish anything so...he'd just be a super, without hero.
:P

Took me like 12 years to beat Ocarina of Time .. but I did it!

A couple games I never beat were Super Mario RPG, GTAIV, Bayonetta.. I think the older I get, the less of an attention span I have. It's either that, or they just don't make games with plots I care about anymore. I never even beat Dead Rising 2 when Dead Rising 1 was my first new generation game that I pwned. AND I beat MGS4. So yeah.. I don't know what makes some games beatable and others boringable

There is alot of crap out there these days. I find myself playing games for 10-20mins and switch off cos im bored.
Its mainly down to storyline so many games have crap ones. Plus they mainly focus on graphics these days. How many of us find ourselves playing sega,snes, Amiga etc etc games still to this date. We arent playing them for the graphics thats for sure. :cry:

Can't pick any single game i regret not completing it's more of a whole genre i don't get to complete anymore, because i used to love these 60 hour+ RPGs but the amount of free gaming hours I've got now it'd take a good 5 months playing only that game to complete.

No kidding. I love Skyrim, but I spend more time in Battlefield just because I can play it for 30 minutes and turn it off.

with you on that. i can't play more than 1hr at a time and that sort of is stretching it.

thing about battlefield, one round can last like 30mins at a time. i've played about 5 games since i got it 2 weeks ago

Nightmare House 2. That motherfooker is scarier than Amnesia! Flickery flashlights and unexpected loud noises get me every time. I can take a weird deformed monster chasing me in a dark basement, like a boss, though.

Basically games that I can play online or create the hell out of it. or both I never bother to finish the story. with the exception of FF10. I let my cousin borrow it and have no idea what happened to it.
