Games you never finished

StarBound · Post by **StarBound** » 29 Sep 2006, 19:21

Everyone is always talking about the new game and hte next biggest thing to hit your pc screen but looking back ( to my left actually) I see all those games sitting on my shelves that havent been finished and probibly wont be or either they might end up being finished a few months down the line if I am lucky.

How much do you spend on games that you wish you never bought? I used to go through a game in 5 days before WoW became part of my daily life. And here is what I am left with after all has been said and done:

Baldur's gate - It cost me R200 because I wanted to play it and now I am still stuck in Naskal waiting on some spark of influance to get me playing it again. Its been 2 months now!

Escape from monkey island - A R100 budget game that I havent touched in forever.

Titan Quest - Woot! A diablo style game without the diablo feel. I only play for about an hour before throwing in the towel. Sad since I paid R300 for it.

Instead of going on and on about why I havent finished my games let me rather put a list of games that I havent finished and leave it at "Not finished!"

NFS underground
NFS Hot persuit 2
Doom 3 expansion
Guild wars
Some PS2 titles now...
FF8
FF9
Ace combat 5
Resident evil Veronica X
Alien hominide
Crash Bandicoot , the first ps2 one

...and there are more but I cant remember them. What it all comes down to is I bought games that were on special or got a good score in a mag or was part of a killer series. The end result is I didnt sit down with the intension of finishing the game.

So any insight I can give to other gamers out there? Buy 1 title and finish it! Then consider getting another one. Never look back to something that was for it WAS then but isnt now.

Out of all my games I have yet to finish Area 51. Got far in the game then for some stupid reason my wife tried her hand at it and ended up deleting my save point.

Now I just can see myself starting from scratch again

Blind.

You should try starting Prince Of Persia : Warrior Within from scratch.

That's real fun.

There's a few more I just gave up on. Not because they were overly difficult, just that they were totally crap.

Legace Of Kain : Deviance I binned after 15 minutes.

Can't recall the rest right now.

The ending is pretty neat, it makes you anxious to get Ep 2.

All I can remember atm are:

Warcraft III
Silent Hill 3

Hech, a ton of others. Will post as I remember.

Though the earliest game I can remember is Kage on the SNES. It got way too tough, even with a second player. Well that's a good 10 - 15 years back.
