Monopoly
Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077. Both amazing games (latter after the many updates that brought it over to the good side).
If it’s “too” long (really, no such thing, but situationally this can be the reality) it can happen that life turns so that there’s no more time, and when I try to get back, too much time has passed and I can’t orientate myself anymore, can’t remember where I was and what I was doing etc.
On the other hand, I can’t start again either, for a few years, because I remember everything before the point I left off at, once I get into the places and puzzles and whatnot.
Annoys me to no end.
But c’est la vie.
Yeah I had to go nolife for a while with Cyberpunk, got more than 100 hours in that game, definitely a commitment, although the main story is pretty short if you just want to do that
Celeste. Like done others have mentioned, I just met my match, for too hard, and I lost interest.
This may reveal me to be some kind of weirdo, but I’ve never managed to finish any Zelda other than the very first one on NES. I’ve gone back and tried other Zelda games over the years, they all seem interesting to start with but I just end up putting them down at some point and losing interest entirely.
I love a lot of single-player action RPGs and always have, but for some reason the most popular series of them ever consistently fails to vibe with me.
I was actually coming in to say the Switch Zelda games. BOTW and TOTK were both fantastic, but I never finished them because it never felt like I had done “enough” to actually go fight Ganon.
So odd as I feel I may be the Ying to your yang. The first zelda is maybe the only one I haven’t completed. I think it was incredible for it’s time but I think modern controls have left me in a place where I get bored with that entry too quickly.
Baldur’s Gate 3.
I played through one single player save and two multiplayer ones with different groups, enjoyed it all - but only got a little ways into Act 3 on any one save. A combination of middling performance with my older rig and just having sank so much time in I burnt out a little.
Still think it’s a fantastic game, but I don’t know if I’ll ever go back to finish it - I feel like I’d have to start a whole new save.
I’m in the same boat. I want to like the game and it is fun, but I got stuck with some area with orbs and my save corrupted…one of the orbs just disappeared after 50+ hours and I can’t bring myself to play again and possibly have the same bug pop up. Maybe someday but it’s just such a big game.
Yep, love the game and got a good portion into act 3 but then just lost all will to play.
It was the same with divinity original sin 2. The final act was so large, disorganized, and not fun. Like they had a lot of ideas they needed to use but didn’t know where until then, so they threw them all in a big city and called it a day.
I have that game and never made it past the first 20 min. Maybe I’ll give it another shot.
Despite my complaints, its one of my favorite games of all time. I highly recommend it. Let me know if you want to do a co-op run (on PC)!
Spider-Man Remastered - 80% completed the story and left it there. Lost interest. Didn’t see any point in exploring most abilities when a hand full of AoE enemy clearing abilities were so effective.
Guacamelee 2 I left close to the final boss and still think of it as one of the best games I ever played.
Cuphead - had plenty of fun, but lost interest in replaying bosses so many times over and over.
Eldest Souls - excellent game, but I took along break from it and when I came back I forgot how the mechanics and ability synergies worked out and felt like I was relearning it from scratch (except I was on advance and difficult bosses).
Overcooked 2 - my wife stopped making time to spend on the game and would rather watch TV together instead.
It Takes Two - my brother’s schedule never lined up with mine.
Sifu - got too difficult.
Dwarf Fortress
I don’t think you can finish dwarf fortress
FFX
First time I played was at a boyfriend’s house. I got like 80% of the way through, then we broke up.
Second time, I let a friend borrow my GameCube in exchange for his PS2. I got about 80% of the way through, then he wanted his PS2 back.
I finally got my own PS2. Played about 80% of the way through but had a couple bad builds and couldn’t beat a boss. I didn’t have energy to grind my way into a better build, so I just never finished.
It’s been ~20 years. I still sometimes think I’ll break out the old PS2 and see if my save file is there. I probably won’t.
The remastered copy on Steam let’s you speed up the game. It is much quicker running around at x4 speed and clearing random encounters. Then slow game speed to normal for major bosses and events. I would highly recommend this route rather than trying to find a PS2 again.
If you haven’t played FFX-2 or FFXII then those are worth checking out too.
Omg, I had no clue that existed. Thank you!
I like playing minecraft. But i have never gotten to the credit screen
Same, played since beta era, haven’t even gotten to the end world. My potato farms are doing ok, though.
Im honestly not sure the last time I actually finished a game.
A combination of not having enough play time and those rare occasions I do have the time I tend to burn myself out playing the game.
Elden Ring. It was fun at first and I got farther than I thought I could which makes it better than the other souls games for me.
But now I have terminal skill issue and I dont really desire to bang my head against the wall trying to beat bosses. I also find some of the later stage content a little too unsettling for me. Stuff like caelid and just the general body horror of some of the enemies. I dont know why that stuff has such an effect on me but it does.
Fallout 4. I just stopped for some reason. I think I was close to having to pick one of the factions to support and I couldn’t decide, then got distracted by other games. I tried to pick it up again recently and didn’t remember the story. I’d love to sit through and read summaries of all the quests I completed so I can catch up on where I was and what I did one day, and then I can finally properly finish it.
Almost all of them. I rarely finish a game. For a variety of reasons, all added together. The closer I get to the end, the more I want to put it off if I’m enjoying a game, so I will keep finding more and more nuanced stuff to do instead. A new game comes out and I eventually completely forget one of the 10 games I’m currently actively playing when it temporarily becomes 11, then back down to 10. My friends stop playing a game, but my character relied on them… maybe I’ll just start over with a character that can solo. Maybe that game will just go on the pile of “not today, but I’ll play it soon”, until it’s been in the pile so long that there isn’t much point anymore.
I should mention I am autistic and likely adhd but I haven’t got that diagnosed yet. So while some of this is probably normal behaviours, some of it probably isn’t too.
Witcher 3. it was my first RPG, and as much as I enjoyed it I just did not have the patience
I’m in a seemingly significant minority of people who just don’t like TW3. Never liked the controls, inventory system, or story.
I don’t have the patience for RPGs but I was invested enough in the Witcher lore that I was pushing through, but my ADHD eventually betrayed me.
Haha I understand, it definitely took a lot of attention and patience to follow the branching storylines!
The high quality tits didn’t hurt
I’ve finished nearly all at least once.
But I’ve played Skyrim for thousands of hours and only ever completed the main questline once.
