Games you owned but never beat
AssMan's thread got me thinking, I've beat a lot of games multiple times but then there are those games I've owned but never finished for whatever reason.

XCOM Terror From The Deep - The was a glitch in this game that prevented you from ever completing it if you researched out of sequence.

Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne - Got quite far into it before I got totally fed up with every boss raping the shit out of me and having to start again from the last save point, which is often a few hours before the boss.

Kingdom Hearts II - Don't know why I never finished this one, I might have been trying to beat a secret boss or something and got bored with it.

Shadow of the Beast - Fuck this game.

Die By The Sword - There was some stage with giant gears that you clearly had to cross, but the controls were so awful that I just couldn't do it.

There are probably more, especially Nintendo and Sega games, but these are the ones that stick out to me. What games have you failed at?

90% of my collection, honestly.

Mainly because I'll get bored of the game, then want to play it a few months later. But if more than a week or so has passed since I played it I need to start over, so it's a vicious cycle.

Last 2 or 3 Zelda games, almost completed them all but for some reason got sidetracked by something and never went back to them. If a game comes out of the console i tend not to go back to it for a while no matter how close i am to finishing it.

I would say probably about 20% of mine now. I have beat all the RDR, Assassins Creed 1 & 2, Braid, Lego Starwars, Lego Indiana Jones. You don't really beat wii sports or sports resort, they are just a ton of mini games. Same thing goes with Magic the Gathering, Risk Factions, and Monday Night Combat, you don't really beat them, you just keep playing, unless you mean getting 100% completion or beating the tiny mini-campaigns in Risk and Magic, which I have done. I haven't beat Portal because I can't figure out this fucking puzzle or get the timing right because I'm dumb, and the rest of orange box bores me. So that and some really awful games I own I never beat.

Complete opposite of me. I pick things up again after a year, and continue where I left off (I'm the same way with books). For this reason, I finish most of my games.

Currently incomplete:

Oblivion: Bored me. Might get back to it one day, if I run out of more exciting games.

Fallout 1: Stuck in an insanely hard fight with Deathclaws.

Resident Evil: Nemesis: I'd have to start this again, since the save file was about four computers back. I'd rather replay Resident Evil 2.

Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir: This expansion was utter shit, and I will not be completing it.

If we're talking consoles, then probably 90% of the games I owned were left unfinished, since I was a child (Children have attention span issues).

I had about 40+ hours on that, i completed the 1st quest and then fucked around with the guild side quests. I only completed the 1st quest because you need to actually get out of the sewers to really start the game.

It's also hard for all of the wrong reasons. It is hard because it is so glitchy and temperamental that if you don't play it perfectly you die. I'm all for hard games, but come on that game was stupid-hard.

I think they made the games super hard on purpose in order to sell Game Genies.

Donkey Kong 64: I literally did everything I could. At like 99% or 100% I think, but I never beat King K Rool and the end. Just never could get the job done, always annoyed me too. That is all I had to do to like 101% the game.

Majora's Mask: Not sure if my game glitched or I was an idiot. But I got maybe half way through, little more and could NOT find the next temple. I looked online to see where to go, I went there and there was supposed to be a cave after you beat a level. There was no cave. Eventually just said fuck it and gave up.

Conkers Bad Fur Day
GTA Vice City and San Andreas - Can't past the driving required missions
LoZ Ocarina of Time - Got to Gannon but never bothered to beat him
The Punisher (NES) - Got to Kingpin and almost killed him
Soul Calibur II - Missing 1 character (Lizzardman I think)
Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt - Never could make the long jump on one of the World 8 levels
Super Monkey Ball 2
Bubble Bobble
Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Got to Bowser but never bothered to beat him

I think they made the games super hard on purpose in order to sell Game Genies.
Games were "super hard" so people got more out of what would normally be a 1-2 hour max game.

Gotta agree with Xero, many games nowadays are only difficult on the hardest difficulty.

Like God of War is only difficult on the highest difficulty.

I have realized that the most difficult temples in recent (64 and up) LoZ games are always the water temples. Majora's Mask water temple was a nightmare.

I used to very rarely beat games. Only the great ones. Like on SNES and Sega when difficulty was much higher and there weren't a lot of save points. Mainly continues.

Then when 64 came along I started beating more games, but most of the time I'd also lose interest in them (or have to return them). So I'd really only beat the great ones that I owned.

Now I really only buy games I think/know are going to be great, and almost always beat them. It's also much easier to beat games now, as long as you put the time in.
Not that it's any less fun. But the fun is more in the gameplay and narrative of the game now, so they give you infinite continues and generous save points.
Challenge used to be most of the attraction.

6 and 1/2 dozen really. I still love both types of gaming experiences. I do like a little mix though. I enjoy having to grind out a mission a few times before I get it.

Probably like 85% of all the PS2 games I bought. I would buy a game cheap and some of them I would play once or twice and then put it away and never look at it again. I have gotten better with my 360 though.

Sports games seem to be the worst for me now though, they used to be all I played, but I bought Madden 10 and played it like twice, same with NBA 2k10 (although my brother played it a lot when he was over). I sold both of those and bought NFL 2k5 thinking I played it so much on the PS2 I would play it a lot again since you can still get updated rosters, also bought NBA Live 10 thinking I would like it better than 2k, but I have played both of them once. Fight Night Round 4 I get very streaky with I will play it for hours for a couple days then not look at it again for months.
