Gorth Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 (edited) That would be two games in 22-23 years... NWN1, managed to get halfway through chapter 4. Failed Will check against boredom :sleep: Oblivion, Borrowed a colleagues game to try out for a week (since it's available pretty cheap from EB games here in Adelaide, I wanted to try before I buy). The only thing mildly interesting were the Dark Brotherhood quest. Nice engine though, maybe somebody will someday release a game on it that I would like to play Otherwise, I think I've completed each and every crpg that I've played Edited February 21, 2007 by Gorth “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Tigranes Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Gothic III because the lag-every-1-minute in 1.00 version was really really getting to me. I know I'll finish it at some point though. System Shock II, never got that to work properly on my game. I couldn't get into what little I saw either. Thief II/III, both got savegame corruption before the very last mission and that killed me off. the thing is I love the city missions but especially in Thief 3, I get fed up with mid-game where you have to go to caves and all that stuff. Thief is only really great inside urban settings, without crazy magic and all that. Vampire: blah blah Masquerade, I played the 1.00 version (heh) and the performance was really bad; it also got me that every piece of spoken dialogue, there woudl be a 2-second hang after they had finished the talking, so all combined it really really slowed me down. I liked the game though. Morrowind, got nearly to the end of the main plot then thought, this game really sucks. Oblivion was pretty fun though, but Morrowind was just ugly to look at, and even more lifeless. Never even played ToEE. I havent finished Shining Force 2 yet, but I'm still playing it. Let's Play: Icewind Dale Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Icewind Dale II Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Divinity II (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG1 (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG2 (In Progress)
Hurlshort Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Gosh, I finish very few games. I'd say for every 10 games I play, I finish one. I'd say adventure games are the only ones I tend to usually finish, and that's pretty much a dead genre. Here's a few: Quest for Glory V - Why did I finish all the others and not this one? Because it was bad. Baldur's Gate 2 - 2 frickin' long. Every JRPG except Secret of Mana and FFIV -Always hit a brick wall boss that meant I needed to go level. I don't grind. Every Elder Scrolls game - They have endings? Wouldn't that require a plot? NWN1 - *snore* Arcanum - Not sure what happened...I think I got confused about my goal in life. Any action-RPG after Diablo - I clicked enough in Diablo to not need to ever click again. PS: Torment - There was a lot of reading, and again...what is my goal here? I'm dead? Games I'm thankful I finished - Deus Ex, Quest for Glory IV, KotOR, Fallout, BG, JA 1 and 2, Xcom 1, Kings Quest 5, Space Quest 3.
Calax Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Usually I stop playing a game once I hit a hump point where you MUST be four times more powerful than the last fight you had to beat the boss... FFVII I haven't beaten but got to SAFER Xenosagas, usually got pretty dam close and quit in boredom. Wish I could say LOTR: The Third Age probably a half a dozen others that I forget. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Hell Kitty Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I played quite a lot of Gothic 3 before losing interest in it completely, and I doubt I'll ever play it ever again. I gave up on Wizardry 8 and Wizards & Warriors pretty quickly, Wiz8 because I just couldn't find the fun and W&W because of bugginess. Other than those, the only ones I never finished were really old, like the EotB series, or the first RPG I ever played, Dragon Wars.
mkreku Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I'm a games reviewer, for crying out loud! For every 100'th game I play I finish one!

CoM_Solaufein Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Nox was fun...not the best game even for it's type, but it had a warped sense of humor here and there. I grew bored with it after a while. Haven't played it since then.

Slowtrain Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I am pretty shocked at how many people have not finished or even started so many great games. I guess in the end the developers are right, people don't in fact finish most games, heck they barely start, so why bother giving them a game that takes more than a few minutes to finish. Depressing. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Archmonarch Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I am pretty shocked at how many people have not finished or even started so many great games. I guess in the end the developers are right, people don't in fact finish most games, heck they barely start, so why bother giving them a game that takes more than a few minutes to finish. Depressing. Personally, I feel it's more that life tends to get in the way and while I would like to get back to the games, after a certain time away from them, the draw lessens simply due to temporal and emotional distance. My personal list: SMT: Nocturne SMT: DDS 1 (Never got 2 due to not finishing 1) Shadow Hearts 2 Final Fantasy 7-9 + 12 Arcanum (Glitches after transferring to the final hell realm caused me to stop) Deus Ex (Got as far as the Paris Catacombs before my HD crashed) Anachronox LoZ: OoT and Windwaker (Got through Majora's Mask though!, Still working albeit intermittently on the new one) Planescape: Torment (Just before that maze) System Shock 2 (Stopped when getting stuck in a wall at the end lost near 7 hours of progress, I should really save more) Fallout (Never really got into it due to life) Gothic 2 Diablo (I was a kid when I first played it and the devil on the cover scared me, so I didn't get very far) Any Elder Scrolls game I've played Thief (Never got very far to begin with) Most of the older JRPS I occasionally try out (ChronoCross, etc)\ Legacy of Kain (the original and thus none of the others) I'm sure there are many more I've forgotten but those are the ones that come to mind at the moment. For the most part, I only play RPGs/the occasional FPS or Adventure, so my failures are at least limited. And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had
LadyCrimson Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 (edited) I am pretty shocked at how many people have not finished or even started so many great games. I tend to finish far more strategy/simulation/citybuilder or light-action (ie Tombraider/Drakan) games than RPG's. I play RPG's fairly slow, trying everything and may spend so many hours 'tinkering' with in-game things that I lose focus or interest on progressing the plot itself. Early on, I'd buy a lot of games to check them all out, without researching them at all, and only a few would really engage me; kind of like how there are a lot of brands of colas you can buy, but you're likely to find only one or two appealing enough to finish the bottle. Probably a bad analogy I know, the hour is late. Edited February 21, 2007 by LadyCrimson “Things are as they are.

Dark_Raven Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I blame mine on short attention span. If it doesn't hold my attention than I may not complete it. Or if it depresses me than I may not complete it like NWN2 and my failed first character I made. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Enoch Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 RPGs I've never played (which would be an interesting topic in itself): NWN1, Bloodlines, Deus Ex, Fable, PoR2, both Diablos, both Dungeon Seiges, most of the Ultimas, all of the FF's but the first 2 (on GBA) RPGs I played but didn't finish: Arcanum (world was interesting; characters weren't; game mechanics sucked royally) Wizardry 6 (computer died), 7 (got frustrated), & 8 (lost interest at the very end) FF2 Morrowind Oblivion Pool of Radiance (original) Curse of the Azure Bonds (got stuck and couldn't get out of Zhenthil Keep) QFG2 (I stunk at the combat system in those games) Gothic 2 (played for a few hours and decided it wasn't for me) RPGs I finished but regretted after the fact: FF1 TOEE

Darth Drabek Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 My RPG resume isn't too impressive, I know. But I've never had a PS1 or 2 (so none of those Final Fantasy games for me), and I grew up on action games. How many of you can say you finished Duke Nukem:Zero Hour for the N64? How about Road Rash 3 for the Genesis? Anybody? Bueller? Tried and trashed: Morrowind, Fallout 2, Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights Played and finished: BG, BG2, KOTOR, KOTOR:TSL, Jade Empire, Bloodlines, Fable baby, take off your beret everyone's a critic and most people are DJs

Slowtrain Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Well, for my part, I finish almost game I play. The excpetions are games that I am just trying to see if I like them. Obivously, if I am just trying something and I don't like it, then I'm not going to finish it. Those decisions are usually made in the first 30-60 minutes of play. Games that I have invested serious amounts of time in and don't finish are very rare: Baldur's Gate: I played this game for a lot of hours but each time I hit the level cap, I lost interest and stopped. There just wasn't any reason to keep playing once my party stopped leveling. So I didn't. If the level cap had been properly matched to the game I would have finished it. Fallout 2: I loved Fallout 2 and spent a lot of hours with it, but it was SO similar to Fallout, that the further I progressed into the game, the less I felt I was playing something that was actually new. Even the story was almost identical. Eventually I just petered out on it. I was pretty close to the end by the time I stopped, I think though. Diablo 2: Same thing as Fallout 2. Diablo2 was so similar to Diablo that I lost all interest in it shortly into Act 2. It was a fine game, but I had spent hundreds of hours on Diablo already, so I just couldn't find it fresh and interesting Thief 3: I played well into the game, but eventually ran into some bug that got me stuck behind a chest and I couldn't get free. I had no save that was even remotely recent, and being stuck like that really irritated me after all the time I had invested in the game, so I just quit and said I would wait for the patch. The patch came out and I never started a new game though. I might play this again soon though. I love all the Thief games. I'm sure there are a few others. Can't think of them right now though. Liek I said they are pretty rare. I even finished PS:T which was a game I didn't even really liek all that much. Heck, I even tried to replay it, but that didn't work out so well. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board.

Tale Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I just remembered some to add to the list Chrono Trigger: Literally at the last boss. Final Fantasy VI: Halfway through Final Fantasy IV: Just over barely touched. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Darth Drabek Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 I finished Road Rash 3 Mad props. Those last series of races seemed like they were a half hour long. Back on the RPG front: I got tired of the endless reloads from high-level wizards owning me in BG2:ToB, but I wanted to see how it ended so I cheated my way through. So, technically, I finished that one, although I didn't put much work into it. baby, take off your beret everyone's a critic and most people are DJs

So, technically, I finished that one, although I didn't put much work into it. I had to cheat the final boss. MASSIVELY cheat the final boss. I also had to cheat the final boss of the first Baldur's Gate. But, no need to cheat the final boss of regular BG2. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Fionavar Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Restricted Area - made it through half-way for each character and then started experiencing some major bugZ and the storyline though interesting, just could not compete with the repetition of the h&s of the same dungeon over & over.
