Ever had a game where you started playing but then something got in the way? I am not talking about those games that were so horrible that you stopped playing because you could not bear to stand another moment of it. Rather, I am talking about those games that you enjoyed (even if it was mildly enjoyable). If so:

  • What was the game?
  • When was it that you stopped to play?
  • Why did you stop playing (i.e. what was it that got in the way)?

Here is my list of shame:

  • Prey: got stuck in one level after nearly shitting my pants, and then went for lunch... he wasn't heard from since :P Seriously though, got too much RL stuff going on to really enjoy this game at the moment, and it deserves my full attention.
  • Nikopol: this is sadly my greatest shame. I won it here on SG long before it was on the bundle, but I only managed to run it once for 20 minutes, before being engulfed in life's problems (think I am getting too old for games :/)
  • Portal: Never really understood what was going on at first... its on my "to play again" l;st though...
  • Gothic 2:: Dunno why it is taking so long :/ Though I must admit I am a thorough RPG player and it took me 167 hours to finsih Gothic... I am still at 75 hours I think for this one...

Your Turn.... :)

Far Cry 2: Nothing to say here, everybody knows that this game sucks ...

Crysis: Good Graphics doesn't make a good game ...

Personally I enjoyed Crysis, the single player was decent - Crysis 2 on the other hand..not so good to my taste.

Overall I think Crysis is more about graphics than actual gameplay/story, and coming from the NES/Amiga/C64 era I really don't value graphics that much. (Though sometimes it's fun to fire up a nice looking game and just look at the monitor in awe)

The first Mass Effect. Had a blast throughout the game and got to the end and just lost my urge to play it, not sure why.

-Resident Evil 5

-Act 5(close to the end)

-I wanted to make some space to install Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

-Earthbound(SNES)

-In the second city, "under" the first city

-I didn't know how to heal myself from poison

-Grand Theft Auto: IV (PC)

-I don't remember

-I couldn't get 60 fps with an ATI Radeon HD 5750, that game isn't optimized for PC even with the last patches (1.0.7.0 I think)

-Warcraft III

-Fighting against the elves(I don't remember the exact name of them and I played it in Spanish)

-I got bored. Although I will play it again some day

And a lot of other games.....

Crash Bandicoot on ps1 because the save system really annoyed me and I kept dying on one of the last few levels and had to re-do 2-3 levels to get back to it every time

Play it on an Emulator, since you can make save States in emulators it makes games with annoyances like that much better.

Fallout Tactics.

I've gotten the Fallout Collection, and in the subject of high nostalgia, i ended up playing both games in a short amount of time (FO1 took around 8 to 10 hours, FO2 took around 24hrs), by the time i said to myself "NOW ITS TIME TO FINISH THIS ONE AGAIN!!" i got fed up with Fallout, did the first mission flawlessly, and i left it there. I'll pick it up again when i feel like doing so.

ARMA 2

While i really enjoy the game, i always have problems seting it up so i get a nice smooth FPS and can actually tell a soldier from a bush, that and considering i'm not used to THAT amount of realism (i have played Operation Flashpoint and Arma1, but i dont remember them being so arbitrary in terms of missions), i'll pick it up again when i get a burst and feel like playing something similar (and Swat 3 is not installed).

-Demon's Souls - Stopped playing it to move onto Dark Souls. I'm only a couple bosses away from completing so I really should get back to it soon.

-Final Fantasy XIII - After playing it for 5 days straight I got bored of it, only had 3 chapters to go. Though I recently revisited it and now only have the final chapter to get through...one day.

-Darksiders - Played about halfway and then...I don't quite remember why I quit playing it.

-Assassin's Creed II - Got bored it a little over halfway through. Plan on one day finishing it and moving on to the rest of the series.

-Dante's Inferno - The music drove me nuts, finally had to trade it in. I honestly have no idea how far into it I was, maybe halfway?

-The Chronicles Of Riddick Assault On Dark Athena - I love Riddick I do but Dark Athena is nothing compared to Escape from Butcher Bay. Probably got around 3/4 of the way through it.

-Fallout New Vegas - I'm actually pretty close to end, just haven't ever finished it.

That's just a few of the games I've started and have to finish. I'll eventually finish them all...eventually.

Oh man! I nearly destroyed my monitor because of Bit Trip Runner. Fun game though! I'm almost done. Can't conjure up the gusto to finish the hard levels. Plus I have a big backlog of games.

I could spend days listing all the games I haven't finished. I have hundreds in Steam alone, thousands counting all my consoles and non-Steam games. Although if a game is exceptionally good I will make sure to finish it.

Never finished Baldur's Gate II. I imported my paladin from BG1 and played until I learned that you have to work with the thieves' guild in order to save Imoen. Instant loss of paladinhood if done in any tabletop D&D game.

Portal. I liked it, but I've got lots of other games I like better, and a limited amount of free time.

The Life, It's very hard game to finish...Infinite Quests, XP rate is too small and HP doesn`t have regeneration...ah yes, one more thing, if you die once you don't get respawn, the death mark lasts on this character forever...

Well I heard one guy actually respawned, but if you ask me he was just lagging and ran straight into a cave and into the wall for three days straight.
