My small list of games (on the closest shelf) that I have yet to complete:

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl
Painkiller
Rayman Raving Rabbids
Sacred
SpellForce
Hitman: Codename 47 and Bloodmoney (completed Hitman 2 though)
Age of Wonders
O.R.B
Titan Quest: Immortal Throne
NeverWinter Nights
Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth
Scrapland
Will Rock
Enclave
The Witcher
Perimeter: Emperor's Testament
Fallout 2 (completed FO1 several times though)
Universe at War: Earth Assault
Monster Madness: Battle for Suburbia
Galactic Civilizations
Emperor: Battle for Dune
Z: Steel Soldiers
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Super Mario Galaxy
Sonic 3D
Baldur's Gate 2
The Temple of Elemental Evil (constant crashing did that game in for me, I'd have completed it otherwise)

Some of them (like Rayman and Baldur's Gate 2) won't be completed by me ever due to their gameplay, others (like Metroid Prime 3) just need the right time and place. It is less than half the games on that shelf though.

I wasn't wrong at all. What I meant by they won't get any mmos on here is, this site itself won't be selling them. Not that people would be listing them.

Yeah Age of Conan is horrible. I disliked it for different reasons, game development issues really. I wrote a big review about that one and Warhammer (not on this site.)

I love City of Villains though, and the newer game itself is a lot better than how CoH was 3 years ago.

Vanguard would have been okay and I could have even overlooked the kind of ugly player models and unimaginitive armor, if they just let people solo the hardest stuff, which is my biggest dislike for mmos. I don't want to argue about mmos "needing" to be group based since it's a MMO after all, but I miss the old days for some mmos, when some classes could solo the hardest stuff or at least duo it. Duo is good. More people seems non-challenging or boring for my playstyle. Like those big raids in WoW, it becomes less a personal challenge and more of a repetitious, mindless act you perform with a bunch of people for items. To me that takes all the fun and tosses it out of the mix.

Horizons was good in the very beginning but it went bad. I liked aspects of that game a lot. It just had so many bugs and as you said focusing on the dragon race. They didn't focus too much on that though when I played. The game looked a lot different in it's early months to maybe half a year, than it did a year later from release. My Elemental Archer was level 118 in the first 4 weeks of the game, due to a nice log out bug to recycle one of the skills that turned the bow into a machine gun. I don't recall the name.

I hope Darkfall is good. It seems they are taking a lot of tips from how UO was in the old days (before trammel/facets/item based play) which to me is still the best mmo (until Sunsword and EA games got involved.) Skill based mmos are better than level based in my opinion.

Anyway, I mostly play FPS games or RPGs.



Oh and Hey, thanks DeathKitten!

Grom: Terror in Tibet
I am not good in RPGs, probably because I am not playing them very often. Every time I play this game, I can not reach the end. Mostly being about a halfway of this title I am left with 2-3 balls and about 8-10 Nazis (or daemons) to beat. Noone gonna win that.

Casual games and games with repetitive gameplay
I am getting bored with games very easly. If a game can not surprise me during gameplay, I am getting bored. This thing is happening while playing casuals. 150 levels and after first 20 the gameplay is the same, exept less time for finishing.

Oh man, that game was so awesome, I think I borrowed it from a friend because I haven't seen it since I first beat it, but I just loved it so much. I'd give anything to get it again, I may have to go buy it on ebay.

American McGee's Alice
Great graphics, but I hate the klutzy feel of interacting with the game. I never got past floating down the river on a leaf.

Not ashamed I never finished it.

Um... you do realize that's what your party (aka "cannon fodder") is for? :) Wizard, sorcerer, and sometimes rogue can be tough through the first 5 levels or so, but they improve vastly once you get up to 3rd/4th level spells. Still, you want that screen of party NPCs in front of them to keep you from blowing spells in combat from Concentration check failures. (I'm assuming a non-multiclass build here.)

I favor the cleric class personally, and generally have them wade right into the thick of things with no trouble. Bards, if slanted right, can do the same, though I found the NWN2 changes to the bard class took some getting used to.

Edit: Oh yes, as to the original point of the thread...

Halo. Granted I'm not big on FPS/TPS games anyway, but I actually cannot play Halo. I can't even watch my spouse play it for more than 5 minutes. It gives me terrible vertigo. Thought I was crazy until I found out my brother-in-law had the same trouble.

My wife & I still have a couple accounts of UO running. We jump on from time to time, but very breifly. We really should drop em, but my wife doesn't want to. She's sentimental that way. lol

I'm just really worried about Darkfall. They talk of 500 skills at launch, but I don't know what one of them is. Crafting, what is available. They seem to be releasing more screenshots and rprmises on what is going to be in the game than any solid info on what is actually going to be there. I hope, but I am very pessimistic right now.

I think the only one for me was Descent 3.

I had gotten to around the second to last mission and just completely lost all interest in finishing it. It just got so confusing and dizzying at times. Other times it was a thrill ride.

I just hope mostly that like with the ORIGINAL Ultima Online, we can solo everything. Even when up to the expansion that added necromancy (because I quit then) I was able to solo everything, even the champ stuff. I liked that aspect. Yet I could play with friends when I wanted. No restrictions. I hope Darkfall is like that. I can understand the sieges obviously needing people but I hope the rest of the game is explorable and soloable. I got more immersed in UO when I would solo than any other mmo. That's mostly because in all these other mmos people talk about stuff in group or guild chat that has nothing to do with the game. Being female it just makes me get asked disgusting questions. I hate it and I hate that developers think it's acceptable and okay. Positron with his merit system in CoH/V Issue 13 better be available for soloists, but i bet it's group only. In which case, it's time to go out in style with cheats if necessary. I don't want to group with more than 1 person and listen to the "r u a girl 4 real?" chat and then all the sexist junk. I'm tired of the "gangsta" talk in mmos too. They should just drop the RPG of MMORPG because it's dead thanks to people like that.

Here's my list of games that I've started that I'd actually like to finish:

Super Paper Mario
Rogue Galaxy
Kingdom Hearts 2
Super Metroid
World of Goo
Final Fantasy X

I have a ton of other games that I've started, but don't care to take the time to finish at this point.

I haven't followed COH for a long while. A few months after launch my wife's arm gave out and she couldn't play games let alone use her arm properly. So we quit COH. Which was too bad, both of us really enjoyed it.

MUCH worse than the games you don't finish is the games that don't finish! I always remember the game called XIII and how you had to solve a problem and then at the end you found out you hadn't solved the problem at all and would have to start all over again in part two, except the game never sold enough for their to be a part two, so in effect, with XIII, you have a 'non-game' in that the place you start is the place you end up!!! (Sorry to be cryptic, but I HATE spoilers for ANY game!)

I could quote other games like this, that don't finish because the publisher assumed there would be a second title!

That is a MUCH bigger crime to me! :)

I've never finished Fallout 1 or 2, even though I consider myself a RPG fan. I missed out on both of them when they first came out, so I first played them years later... that was the first problem, because by then the graphics were outdated. I got very close to the end in Fallout 1, from what I could tell, but I hit some weird bug that screwed up my save. Since I didn't have the foresight to make several saves, it was either start over or shelf the game. I chose the latter out of frustration. Several years later, I tried playing through it again, and made the same exact mistake. I guess I'm just dumb. :P

Anyway, I played the second one a little, but it didn't really draw me in. I didn't like the interface of either one, and I hated the combat (I preferred the combat in Fallout Tactics, because you could go into real time when you wanted)... waiting for the AI to take its turn got old very fast. Sadly, I don't see myself every playing through either one. The atmosphere is awesome, and the roleplaying of the game was good, but the other parts of the game made playing it too much of a chore.

That will always be my secret shame - I love RPGs but I never played the first two Fallouts. What makes it even more shameful is that I almost always finish games. I can't begin to count the number of average games I've forced myself to complete, yet I can't bring myself to finish Fallout 1 and 2.

oh yeah, Baldurs Gate 2.
Now i love everything about BG1. Its up there in my top 20 ever., but i just agve up on Shadows of Alm because the levelling curve seemed less steep and more like like a straight vertical climb. Now correct me if im wrong but are you supposed to stick to the opening city and follow an order because every enemy was always way too powerful to beat.

Always felt guilty about shelfing that one...

Yeap, that was very frustrating to me too. But the game was based on a comic, maybe the answer to know how it ends lies in the comic?

I have a relatively large pile of unfinished games, this has been happening specially with the mos recent games. I don't know i think newer games are not as compeling as some of the older ones.

let me make a list of those unfinished and I later post it here.
