    I've been trying to complete the bioshock series for awhile. Also I started half-life 2 but I doubt I'll ever finish it.

    Assassin's Creed Brotherhood - I didn't like the story.
    Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning - The story is very cool, but the game is way too easy and the bugs ruined it for me.

    There have only been a few games I've stopped and haven't gone back to complete. One is Jericho. Another one - and I'll probably get flogged for this - is Assassin's Creed. I felt pretty bad about it too because I wanted to like it, and the story seemed interesting, but I couldn't get into the gameplay. I did enjoy Brotherhood's online multiplayer though.
    I do see myself possibly going back to finish both at some point, but it's not a priority for me.

    Penumbra: Black Plague is a lot better than Overture. You should definitely finish the first and try it out.

    I can't start nor finish Skyrim. Though I finished the prologue, the next day I can't even touch it again. I don't know if there's a disorder regarding this.. Gamer's Block? :p

    I forgot to mention Modern Warfare 3 too. I feel sorry not only for an unfinished business, but double posting as well. Apologies. :(

    I didn't finish GTA:SA, just couldn't get past that one with the biker. Lol

    Bioshock, Diablo 3, Return to Castle Wolfenstein are some that come to mind. Starcraft Broodwar, C&C Tiberium Sun, Dawn of War series (just played multiplayer in that), Total Annihilation, HL series. Currently still playing Skyrim...

    Whatever game I don't finish I watch the story on youtube :) It's just easier to watch it if you dont have time to play but have time when commuting or at work:)

    I did it for F.E.A.R. 1 & 2, Max Payne 1 & 2, Halo 2.

    These are just games you have to know the story, same with other titles you guys are listing. Reminded me of other games I need to watch.

    Here comes my huge list - and this is just the games I wish I had finished, not the ones I don't care about:

    Bioshock - never got a chance to start Bioshock 2 even though I own it

    Fallout New Vegas - I stopped since I hadn't finished F3 yet
    FarCry - I think I was near the end
    FarCry 2 - I stopped since I hadn't finished FC1 yet
    Final Fantasy 3 (or 6 in Japan)
    Final Fantasy VII - I kept starting over after disk 1 since Aeris kept passing
    Final Fantasy VIII
    Final Fantasy XII
    Final Fantasy XIII
    Gran Turismo 2 (didn't get as far as I would've liked to)
    Grandia
    Half Life
    Half Life 2 - never got a chance to start the rest of them (ep 1 and 2) even though I own them
    Hard Reset - lots of fun for the time I played it
    Kane & Lynch 2 - even though I never played K&L1 and I own it I just came into this game too late
    Kingdom Hearts
    Mass Effect - never got a chance to start Mass Effect 2 even though I own it so I didn't buy ME3
    Metal Gear Solid
    Metal Gear Solid 4
    Panzer Saga
    Phantasy Star IV
    Prince of Persia: Sands of Time - got this at launch and never finished - pretty much the same for most of the following episodes
    RAGE - Looks beautiful, I will come back to this one for sure
    Resident Evil - I was told that I was at the end when I quit playing it forever
    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - I keep starting and then feeling like it's going to consume too much time so I never make it anywhere
    Super Mario Galaxy
    Super Mario Sunshine
    Shank - my save game got corrupted and I didn't feel like working my way to the last act again. This has prevented me buying Shank 2 even though it's been on sale a few times. (I bought Shank 2 anyway - but never installed it.)
    Morrowind
    Oblivion
    Skyrim - I'm working on this slowly because I don't want it to end
    Torchlight
    Trine
    Trine 2
    Zelda Ocarina of Time
    Zelda Wind Waker

    Looking at this list makes me feel like getting older sucks.

    Every GTA except III. Always hit something hard and find it more fun to rampage (plus I just didn't like Vice City).

    Both Batman games. Always hit something hard in that "you have to be console-twitchy and reload 20 times" way, and find it more fun to quit.

    Crysis. I didn't like it.

    But in general, I'm a finisher. I used to not buy a new game until I finished the current one.
  11. Darth Shiv TechSpot Maniac Posts: 691   +51

    Forgot "Fury of the Furries". Great game! Pity the old Amiga was so slow it made it very time consuming to play.
  12. DamianN7 TechSpot Member Posts: 24

    LNCPapa that is a HUGE list lol...damn

    from all those games you have to finish Mass Effect :) please finish it lol
  13. ReederOnTheRun TechSpot Booster Posts: 253   +40

    Never really thought about it, but I have a surprisingly long list:

    Amnesia: Dark Decent - BF3 took over my life right after I started it
    Dead Space 2 - Got too low on ammo and couldn't get passed a certain part
    F.E.A.R. 2 - Got repetitive
    Half-Life 2 - For some reason the game crashed at a certain point so I couldn't play further
    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Bought it because I thought it was supposed to be scary, wasn't
    MW3 - Did the single player, but I dont think you've really beat the game until you've prestiged at least once. It just wasn't that good of a game.
  14. Julio Franco TechSpot Editor Posts: 6,055   +121

    Most games I've played in my life with a handful of exceptions: Far Cry, Diablo 2, Half-Life, Max Payne, and a few oldies like Doom, Duke3d and Wolf3d.
  15. PC nerd TechSpot Enthusiast Posts: 263   +23

    Never finished Skyrim or Deus Ex Human Revolution.
  16. Benny26 TechSpot Paladin Posts: 1,516   +36

    Final Fantasy IX.

    I was playing as a 12 year old and because I loved VIII so much, I thought IX would be just as great. I got about half way through and got stuck in some sort of puzzle so just left the game and sold it. I keep meaning to buy it again to finish it properly though...
  17. nazartp TechSpot Enthusiast Posts: 173

    I'll list the ones I never finished because I lost interest:

    Oblivion - main story too linear and Oblivion gates are annoying;
    Fallout New Vegas - just became bored midway through;
    STALKER - all three are just horrible. I bought them because they are loosely based on the iconic sci-fi book I read as a child.

    The one I am sorry I finished: Mass Effect 3.

    The one I am sad will never get a sequel: Masquerade Bloodlines.

    The one one I am positively giddy will get a sequel: Witcher/Witcher 2.

    one of the star wars games on ps2 where you play as jango. I think the most popular star was game was STAR WARS THE OLD REPUBLIC.
  19. Rage_3K_Moiz Sith Lord Posts: 7,246   +16

    I've owned the entire Sam & Max series but I've only ever finished the first season. =\

    I've also yet to complete Halo 3: ODST, even though I've had it for a while now.
  20. Arris TechSpot Evangelist Posts: 4,308   +17

    Been so many over the years, but most recently... GT5 and Infamous on PS3, Deus Ex - HR, Star Wars - The Old Republic (I know it's not really finishable being an MMORPG but I said to myself I'd play one characters story through before cancelling but never did), I'm sure there are a heap more but I've found that the evolution of gaming into the online multiplayer/vs creature that it is now means for a lot of single player titles and "Story" modes of multiplayer titles I just can't seem to come back to them to continue.
