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.... :)

  1. mw3, bought it to complete my call of duy collection but its pathetic. too short, to simple, multiplayer is full of morons and the gameplay sucks major monkey ass.

  2. brink, because it was the biggest disappointment ever.

  3. halflife 2, because its very boring in my opinion, not as exciting as halflife.

  4. Dark Sector, long ago because it was full of annoying bugs.

  5. manhunt, because its very boring.

i guess i have many more that i stopped playing, thats the ones i can think of right now.

I stopped playing it near the end
I stopped playing because my old computer broke, I didn't feel like playing it on my next laptop, and my current laptop can't run it for some reason ;-;.

Beyond Good and Evil - well, around 2005 I found myself in a situation where I had to move out quickly from my flat and I lost the CDs back then somehow... Two years ago I rebought it on GOG.com but I have some sick graphic errors every time I try playing it, I believe it's Windows 7's fault, not my GeForce's. I'm not going to install Windows XP just to play one game - even if it's BG&E.

Psychonauts - last level of this game is just so annoying that I lost all interest in playing it. Don't know if I'll ever come back.

Fallout Tactics - I really didn't mind a little change to the Fallouts since it was just "something in between F2 and F3" and I enjoyed it but I always get bored of it at some point where I stop playing, come back after few years... and abandon it again. Did it three or four times already. If I just knew that time that F3 will suck so much... guess I would complete it in one sitting, haha.

Jesus, so many. I have a habit of getting really far into a game and then stopping. A lot of the time I can go fight the final boss whenever, but either don't want to finish without 100% or just wander off because who knows why. I've played every Metroid game except Other M, and the only one I've finished is Fusion (a few times, actually) - and I considered Prime to be my favorite game before MGS3 came along. Got to the final bosses of Zero Mission, Prime 2, and Super Metroid, but never went that final distance.

I own Final Fantasy VII, VIII, IX, X, Legend III, and Tactics Advance, and I and II on PSP. And I've played VI. Only finished VII. Stopped playing IX on Disc 3, stopped playing X after I got inside Sin. I consider Skies of Arcadia Legends to be my favorite RPG. Never finished it.

I own every Zelda in some format (CD-i notwithstanding) except Seasons, Ages, Four Swords, and Minish Cap. I've played them all except Ages and Four Swords. I've finished Ocarina, Link's Awakening, and Minish Cap. Majora, Wind Waker, and Link's Awakening are my favorite (so there's at least one correlation there, finally).

I could go on, but I should note that there ARE a ton of games that I have finished, and a number that I stopped playing near the end and then went back and finished months later (both Paper Marios spring to mind). I've also got a ton of games I can't stand at ALL that I've finished - some to 100% completion.

I am an odd man.

Pretty much every game I have one steam, also on console. Why I get bored
It would be a lot easier say that I finished, Starcraft 1-2, Deus Ex HR(my brothers account), Gear of war 1-3. I have tons of games that I never finished, at least my brother finishes them so they are not totally a waste. Except for portal 2, games great but there was a game that came out soon after so I never finished it, but I will add that to my small finished games list very soon
