Rules:
Terraria
I have so many world with Moonlord arenas ready to fight him, but my completionist anxiety prevents me from ever using them
Life Is Stange
I went in knowing the decision I would have to make at the end. Over the course of the game however, I realized that I didn't wanna choose either of the options. So I gave myself a third option: Don't finish the game. Now the characters all live happily in the limbo of incompletionism
Factorio. Beautiful elegant game but hard af.
All of them. I can count with one hand the number of games I’ve finished and have fingers to spare. Celeste is one of those that I love but never finished
Borderlands 2. Never could be bothered with all the endless lot boxes full of trash... Killed by inventory management
I'm sure my list is crazy long, but:
And probably a lot I forgot about. My gaming career is a chaotic trail filled with the wreckage of unfinished games.
Outer Wilds. I got super into it for a few days, got distracted and stopped for a bit, then couldn’t remember what I was supposed to do when I picked it up again. I should really start again from scratch but haven’t been able to convince myself to do so yet
I was in to this one too but it made me car sick in the worst way. Eventually I just put it down and didn't go back
Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto Vice City. The missions are incredibly difficult.
And I never thought I'd finish Grand Theft Auto San Andreas until I finally figured out what I was doing wrong with Big Smokes Mission.
All you have to do is follow the damn train.
I think Vice City is the only one I've actually finished from that era.
The long dark
Zelda Twilight - there's a bit where you have a frog like monster that gives me trypophobia. I never was able get past that bit.
A lot of roguelikes. Especially if they use a grind to unlock system. Dead cells and rogue legacy 2 come to mind.
Omnifactory
Elden Ring, it seriously burnt me out exploring every crevasse...
This would have to be mine too. I played for 80ish hours and stopped right after I made it to the Capital. I still feel like I got my money's worth and enjoyed every minute of it.
Neverwinter Nights 2
Dishonored 2. Got tired of going for pacifist route to get the "good ending".
Pacifist? I beat them all up, Batman style. Every guard on every level got severe concussion, but nobody died, on my Good playthrough.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (12 hours played). Wasteland 2 (44 hours played). Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous (49 hours played).
And many others but those are probably the ones where I put more hours in before quitting.
I got like 40 hours into MGSV and I just got burnt out on it. I feel that going back I would probably have a better time but the first time I was obsessively doing the side missions and it just killed it for me.
Oh yeah, MGSV. Think I got to 50 hours, realised I was only halfway through, and put it away forever. Great game, but far too long.
Summoner. Originally had it on ps2, now on steam. I pick it up every few years, but have never finished it.
Pretty much every GTA game, unfortunately. I always get distracted. I bucked down and beat RDR2 last month, and it was amazing.
Also Cyberpunk.
Persona 5. Very good gameplay but too damn long.
I have 371 games in my Steam account, not including any GOG or Epic games. I have 1 game with all the achievements and my average completion rate is 25%. I would say I rarely "finish" a game. I just move on to the next one. And that's ok with me.
I have to restart Hollow Knight because I got stuck in an impossible area called the king's dream I think? I got fed up with the difficult challenge and could exit it so I quit
There's an indie platformer called Unepic that's genuinely one of my favourite games, one of the few I've bought more than once to have it on all of my consoles and my PC, that I've started multiple times. There's one boss I get stuck on, every single time. Normally, I'll just sleep on it when I can't get past a boss (literally, to give my brain time to solidify that muscle memory I built up in my attempts that day, try it out yourself!), the next day my playthrough almost always goes a bit smoother. But not with this game, oooh boy, not at all with this game. I end up rage quitting, every single time
Finally finished Pathfinder WOTR. Kept remaking characters and then finally played one all the way through. Took forever though.
