Every relatively recent RPG I’ve played, except Fallout.
I was really into Planescape: Torment (I am a sucker for romance, let me tell you) and then we had to reformat the hard drive, so I’ve yet to reinstall it. But I WILL, damn it! The story’s so good, you could seriously make a movie out of it.
Fallout 2: just too freakin’ hard. Got to the very end and got obliterated. Oh well.
Arcanum: similar situation as Planescape: Torment–actually, identical situation. I’ll restart it someday.
Baldur’s Gate: I’m reeeeealllly trying to play this right now, cause I want to get to BG2 (again, the romance…blush), but I’m having a tough time clocking even 20-30 minutes a day on it. It’s tedious!! Too much fighting, not enough thinking!! (Also why I never finished Diablo, or bothered with the 2nd one.) I’ll finish it, though…grumble
Final Fantasy 9 (the only one of the series I’ve ever played): got to the very end, but I’m only level 40-something and think I need to be level 60-something to beat Big-Bad-What’s-His-Nut. And…I just don’t care.
OH…and, I don’t know how popular this one was, but…I tried recently to play Quest for Glory 4: Shadows of Darkness (a great game, by the way), but couldn’t finish it due to a stupid, stupid bug for which no one seems to know the antidote. Sierra’s answer: don’t do that! :rolleyes:
I think it’s funny how many people have mentioned the Final Fantasy games. Final Fantasy 3 (U.S.) was the first one that came into my mind. Everyone says it’s their favorite of the old FF’s and yet I can’t seem to get myself past the train. Not because of difficulty though… I just stop playing.
I’ve also made it to the very last mission of both GTA-3 and Vice City and haven’t finished!! I refuse to use cheat codes, and after 20 failed attempts I just decide I’m not good enough, and I’ll maybe come back to them later… uh huh.
Final fantasy 10. I stopped after my characters kept getting killed by a giant jellyfish thing. I attempted FF7 for the third time and gave up after the characters were killed by the first boss.
Black & White–I actually made it to the 4th island, my big happy cow all aglitter from his good deeds (contrasted with my demonlike claw of a hand from all of my bad ones). Decided it was getting too tedious and quit.
FF1–Quit after I finally made it out of that inland sea, I just kept getting my ass kicked and never had enough money.
FF5–In the 3rd world, have all of the summons, just haven’t gotten the initiative to pick up the controller again.
FF7–Spent so much time getting a gold chocobo I didn’t have any to complete the game.
I did manage to finish FF6, 8-10, thankfully.
Might & Magic 6, 8, and 9–kept telling myself I was gonna pick these up again one day, but a hard drive format ruined that forever.
Heroes of Might & Magic IV–loved all the previous HoMMs, but I just couldn’t get into this one with all of the radical design changes.
Splinter Cell–sigh, I’m sure I will someday…
GTA3 & Vice City–missions just got boring after awhile (fortunately running people down is always fun!).
Huh… I really liked the storyline of Undying. Honestly, it’s what kept me playing until 3 AM some days. That, and the fact that it scared the hell out of me. I’d recommend giving it another shot, the ending is a nice surprise, and well-done.
Engywook, I also loathed the voice acting in Homeworld: Cataclysm. In fact, the game as a whole was pretty lame compared to the original HW. Don’t feel bad about not finishing it, the ending is profoundly unsatisfying. Looking forward to Homeworld 2, though…
As for me, I have yet to finish “Star Trek: DS9 - The Fallen”… just haven’t had time for it. And I never had the interest to complete “11th Guest.” It just bored me.
Actually, it is funny that everyone keeps mentioning FF games. I’ve finished several, but now I started thinking about some of them:
FF5 - started this, got halfway through (got stuck at a tower that splits your party in half, neither half was strong enough), then moved, and forgot to go back to it after moving.
FF8 - started it, got about 2/3 of the way through, needed to do some “boring party build-up stuff”, lost interest, haven’t gone back to it.
And we have FF9 and FF10, because my wife likes those and has finished them, but I haven’t been willing to start them, since I didn’t finish 5 or 8.
