Games you abandoned without meaning to.

I meant to finish Oblivion and was doing well on one run through…then the save file got corrupted after a two-hour session. I was so angry I deleted it. Sigh.

Oh, here’s another one with a Seinfeldian reason for abandoning. Dragon Age: Origins. I played it for about 8 hours, and it seemed promising, but I got sick of the way my mage looked, especially in the hat he was wearing (it was one of them leather helms that didn’t suit him at all). Maybe the bickering of my companions also turned me off.

I couldn’t bear to equip a mage with those fugly hats. Finished the whole game and the expansion with all my party mages bareheaded.

A new one for me: Dragon Quest.

It’s a stupid little game for your phone that I played for a month or three but I never signed in with facebook because I hate that shit.

Got a new phone and everything was deleted. Cest la vie

That pretty much describes every game I’ve ever played more than a couple times that I didn’t beat. And seeing as I’ve only beaten maybe two handfuls of games, that’s practically every game I’ve ever played that has an end.

This would happen for various reasons, but never because I didn’t like the game. I’ll admit some early games I stopped playing because I couldn’t beat them, and got tired of replaying the same things over and over, though. The first few levels of every Mario game will never leave my head, for example.

I was playing Ni no Kuni on my PS3 when my wife’s fish tank developed a tiny leak.

The fish tank sat two shelves above the PS3 in the entertainment center. The water pooled in the corner of the shelf, dripped down the back, and landed directly on the HDMI cable going into the PS3. From there it trickled down the cable into the PS3. I’m not sure how long it had been doing this, but it wasn’t instantly fatal to the machine. By the time it stopped working the whole bottom of the PS3 was full of water, and large sections of the circuit board were corroded beyond recognition.

When I finally got around to getting a replacement, I already had an XBox One and most of my gaming switched to multiplayer BF4 or Titanfall with friends.

I find your reason for not finishing the game acceptable.
