Games you never finished?

[lukester]

Most people have at least one game they got far in, but never/can't beat.

I guess I got a few.

Resident Evil 2: a recent one actually. I managed to beat Leon A, but am stuck in a tight spot in Claire B. I'll just have to move on to something else.

Ys Origin: Not a bad game, but very repetitive after having played Ys Oath in Felghana. Too linear, and the main character (Yunica) sucks. I'm halfway, so I could get back to it.

Far Cry 3: I wasn't too good, but long load times and bad framerate on 360 put me off moreso. I think I made at least 1/4 of the way through.

Legend of Starfy: Got this when I was younger. I was hyped, but the game was extremely easy and short. I could't beat the final boss though, since I couldn't tap the button fast enough.

I also couldn't beat Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story for the exact same reason, until I replayed it a few years later.

I've got a lot of OBEY that's just too hard for me to beat (mainly shewties); there's too many to list.  There's also quite a few that haven't been given a fair chance yet, but I hope to get to 'em some day.

For PSP, most all of 'em have been cleared or not yet played.  The ones that I gave up on are few, namely Frantix, Bubble Bobble Evolution, and Dungeon Explorer (90+ hours in and maybe half way).

You're playing Dungeon Explorer on PSP? Damn. I know it's not like PCE games...but I'd love to hear your impressions.

[Necromancer]

Dungeon Explorer on the PSP is Dungeon Explorer in name only.  It's a straightforward and rather bland hack 'n' slash dungeon crawler that wouldn't be all that bad if it didn't overstay its welcome (it's kinda fun in the beginning); but it's loooooooong and not in a good way with lots of differing content to enjoy.  I gave up on it at about 90 hours, after perusing the internet and finding I was a bit less than halfway through.  Yeah, 200+ hours of grinding..... 

There's some variety with occasional special missions and eventual big boss fights (each dungeon has a mini-boss, but they're nothing special), but you mostly play the same generic missions over and over and over again just to gain enough experience, and you won't stand a chance if you move on to the higher dungeons too soon.  Pro tip: change classes as soon as possible to unlock the best classes (check teh interwebz).  Better pro tip: play something else.

Wait. You beat Breakout?

Here are some recent games I never finished.  If I listed every game in history, it would fill a book.  lol.  Well, it would fill at least a few pages because I used to rent games all the time and hardly finished any of them.  But these days, I will finish a game 99% of the time.  The games below reflect my last 5 years of gaming (2009 - 2014). 

1.  Final Fantasy XII (PS2)- I got stuck in a building where I couldn't leave to level up some more.  The boss in the building was too hard for my characters.

2.  Disgaea (PS2) - I tried to get into this series going but it requires a lot of strategy to beat certain levels.  So I got bored and stopped playing it. 

3. L.A. Noire (Xbox 360) - Good game but can get repetitive.  Once again, I got bored.  Hehe.

4. Assassin's Creed (Xbox 360) - It started off pretty good, but once again got repetitive.  I heard the rest of the series is very good, much better than the first one.  So, maybe I should give the rest of the series a shot.

5. Willow (NES) - Excellent game and similar to The Legend of Zelda.  But I was right in the middle of another game at the time, so I was distracted.  I like to play video games one at a time.  This is one of those games that I will come back to.

Little Off-topic, but my favorite 2600 games are Yar's Revenge, Phoenix, and Pitfall. Can't technically beat them of course.

If you can actually play pitfall for the full 20 mins (or whatever the time is), your finished.   
And no, not just standing there. Actually advancing.

I've heard the DS version is a different game, and also better.

Which games have I never finished?
I can't even begin to count...

[xelement5x]

Magna Carta Tears of Blood is the standout game I tried and tried to play and beat but I just hated it so much I eventually gave up.
