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
The shorter list for me is Games I have finished.
This is the way
Zelda BotW, the game has all the elements of an RPG I like, but I just can’t enjoy it enough due to its weapon system. A metal sword shouldn’t break after 3 hits.
I’m having similar problems with Tears of the Kingdom. At first I really liked the changes to the game but after 5 - 10 hours I lost any enthusiasm to play it. I kind of remembered the experience playing BOTW which I really fought hard to try and like too.
It’s not just the weapon or combat system… I just struggled to care about anything after a while.
Shit that’s basically half my steam library, if I’m honest.
I have a bunch of games that I don’t like that I haven’t finished too.
What, you have like 2 games?
Probably close to 350 or so, if I had to hazard a guess. I just also don’t really complete games before I get distracted by another.
I think I’ve put over 500 hours into Skyrim and still haven’t met the Greybeards. What a game.
Final Fantasy 12 is another game I keep picking up every couple years and I swear I keep dropping it at the same point every time.
Dragon Age Inquisition I really need to pick up again, that was a good one, but I need to finish Horizon Zero Dawn first, then go back to Elden Ring, probably pick Witcher 3 back up at some point… yeah, I have a lot of unfinished games.
Horizon: Zero Dawn. I got absolute shite aim on the best of days and playing on a controller just makes it worse. Switched to m+kb eventually, but by then, the experience was already marred. Think I’ll give it some more time, then try again.
System Shock 2. Scary. I start pooping from the front around Hydroponics and can’t continue.
I have such an issue with not finishing games that I really enjoy because I don’t want them to end. I put off the final part for so longer that I stop playing the game. Never killed Ganon in BOTW, never actually finished Elden Ring
Most. lol
The Stanly Parable. Just can’t seem to get past the broom closet.
on a serious note Starcraft 2 Legacy of the Void. I’ve literally not even touched single player.
You might be interested to know that a bunch of the people involved in SC2 made their own company to start working on a new RTS called Stormgate because Blizzard wasn’t interested in letting them make another RTS.
I’m strangely not as hyped for Stormgate as I thought I would be when it was announced
all of them. no seriously, I have a habit of avoiding the endings thinking I will play more with open worlds and then stop playing.
Define “finished”. A lot of the games I enjoy are ones that don’t have an “ending”, like Crusader Kings or Civ.
In general though, I try to finish games I’m enjoying and quickly stop playing games I’m not enjoying so that I can move onto something else.
Yep, I have a bad habit of getting like 3/4 through a game and never finishing it. I’ve been meaning to go back to Yakuza: Like A Dragon at some point because I’m pretty sure I’m nearly at the end by now, but for some reason I can’t bring myself to launch the game again and just finish it.
Final Fantasy 7, for some ridiculous reason. I’ve stared it so many times, then get distracted and stop, planning to come back, and then I forget.
Some some recent ones are Control and Pentiment. I got into both, then got distracted with other games and never got back to them.
Doom Eternal - I played a few hours, was having a good time, but put it off to play something else and just never came back.
Atelier Sophie- always been interested in the Atelier series and finally bought one. I enjoy what I see when I play, but I’m constantly dropping it for something else, only to come back months later, play a little, then drop it again. It’s a vicious cycle.
Divinity Original Sin 2- while I enjoy the game, it’s so tedious to play that it wears me down every time I try to play it until I drop it.
Guild Wars 2- as much as I enjoy it, I keep thinking I could be playing FF14 instead, which I like more and have a hard time trying to come back to it.
So many! Right now I’m chipping away at Persona 5 Royal, but also on my list are RDR2, Witcher 3, Divinity Original Sin 2, Elden Ring, Dragon Age Inquisition…I want to pick up Yakuza Like a Dragon and Diablo IV but it doesn’t feel worth it yet since I don’t have much time to play these days
That’s a great list of games for this question. Several good games on there with pacing issues in the middle, the kind that would make you drop the game.
Only one I don’t relate to is Witcher 3.
