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
Witcher 3. So good. So hard to finish.
This is a game that should be my ideal game. Everything about it screams that I’d love it. But I’ve attempted to start it probably 6 different times, ranging between 2 and 10ish hours of play each time. I just can’t get hooked and now I’ve done the intro too many times :( I really want to love this game.
I found that I really had to put all other games aside and focus on it.
I actually started by playing the first two games before starting 3 and that really helped me focus on just playing 3 because at that point I was super invested. 1 and 2 are both pretty short games (compared to 3) but super different from each other so if you want to give that a try it might be worth it.
This. I have 80 something hours in but I haven’t played in years and I’m hesitant to start again.
Almost every game I have played in the past few years. Between personal life and a shit attention span it’s harder to finish games I enjoy before jumping to the next one.
I’m in the same boat. I’ve started taking a stance of only getting new games whenever I finish the ones that I’ve already started… Didn’t work so well because I just keep procrastinating playing those games. I think my problem is more about being unmotivated and depression than actually lack of time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
<Insert Open World Title>
So many. Skyrim among them. In the same vein, I’ve never finished Oblivion or Fallout: New Vegas, either, despite massive hour counts in all of the above and owning them across multiple systems. I think I have some kind of disorder that if I really like a game, I can’t force myself to finish it, because that’d mean it’s over. As a result of that, I have hundreds of games that are proably about 3/4s complete. I don’t get it.
I’m in the same boat with oblivion and Skyrim. Add Morrowind to that list as well. I love open world games but have a hard time finishing them because I get distracted by side quests and then distracted by life, stop playing for awhile, then when I pick it back up I forget where I left off, have a hard time remembering the mechanics, don’t want to restart from scratch, and just move on to something else. Now I’ve been playing (and replaying) mostly linear fps games like all the old Jedi knight games, the halo games, and a few other games that are more “on rails” that I know I’ll be able to finish.
Ha, I too delay the ending for as long as possible (even if its a mediocre game with good game mechanics). But I’ve wisened up and had a few games I forced myself to enjoy the ending before stuff was 100% complete. Like Jedi Survivor. And AC Valhalla.
AC Odyssey was completed eventually, but after AC Valhalla, because I put it away, tired out of side quests before the ending. Ive still not completed TES Oblivion. Or Mad Max. Or Dying Light 1. DL2 was a close call but got it done.
RDR2. I like every game design philosophy this game stands for. I love how slower-paced and contemplative, how tactile with everything it is. I just can’t summon the excitement to go through the story.
Yeah, the same thing happened to me. I was taking my pace but it took me so long to get anything done that eventually it just fizzled out for me. I don’t think I made it half way through the story and at this point I don’t think I can go back and play it because it seems like such a chore.
Bravely Default, Xenogears, Final Fantasy 5, Final Fantasy 9, Final Fantasy 10, Final Fantasy 11, Final Fantasy 12, Zelda ALTTP, Zelda MM, Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life, Xenoblade 1, Xenoblade 3…
I set a rule with myself. I’ll play games while I’m having fun and then stop when there’s something else. I don’t really care to beat games, I’ll play them to enjoy them! 😊
Rimworld
Does anyone truly finish Rimworld?
You don’t finish Rimworld. Rimworld finishes you.
Well yeah. Why would I leave a planet where I built a hotel for androids and nudists to visit and smoke weed on my couch?
Cities Skylines was that for me for 8 years. Not that theres an end credits, but I never played long enough to get to a max level city. I bought every DLC for it even, and never played more than one session before I put the game away, and started a new city next time.
Up until a few months ago. Just as they released the last DLC for this game I turned obsessed with it. Been through two full level cities now, and begun optimizing the later city to handle 100K population. Im at 80K now, and got two roads into the city that clogs up at anything, that I need to find a fix for if I wanna grow further.
Cities 2 incoming! I’m cautiously excited!
The fixed the traffic AI, which means it’s an instant buy for me.
The best way to reduce load is by creating more public transport and adding ways for people to cross over / under the highway. Also, try to add some more exits if you can.
lol I have never finished a game
Witcher 3. Cyberpunk. Shadow of War. Horizon zero dawn. Ghost of Tsushima. Red dead redemption 2. God of war. Ratchet and Clank. Control. Returnal. Fire Emblem Engage. Hollow knight. Xenoblade Chronicles 1, 2 and 3. Demons souls remake. Prey. FF7 remake. Half life Alyx. And many many many more.
I’ve played through most of them and tried replaying them multiple times but always get bored before the end.
I have a major “never finish good games” problem.
I have the same problem, either life gets in the way just long enough for me to lose interest/find picking the game back up to be too daunting, or I get side tracked on side missions and getting the best gear before fighting the last boss that I get bored/lose interest. Ironically, the games that I actually do beat, I am generally so overpowered by the end of it that the final boss/mission is little to no challenge and I lose interest immediately after.
Red Dead and HZD are in my top 10 favorites of all time. Try giving them another go if you get the chance!
Homeworld 1. Childhood favourite space rts but wasn’t good enough to finish it. Since progress and troops carry between levels, a screw-up early can really hurt down the line. The narration, the sound design, it was so compelling. I have the remaster, but always want to start a fresh run and try it all again. Never made it to the end without losing steam.
Persona 5 for me, its one of those games where if you put it down for more than a few weeks its hard to jump back in because of all the characters and systems you gotta remember.
Started it and played 40 hours twice. I still think about starting it again.
Red Dead Redemption 2
Final Fantasy 7 on the PS is a game i love but i never finished. Kinda just fell off for me when I couldnt beat the weapons.
Red Dead Redemption 2
I always make it deep in. Lots of side quest and hunting stuff too. But right around when you leave the major city in the southeast I just lose interest for reasons I can’t quite figure out.Oh… You should really try to finish. The end of that game is pure gold.
