Do you have any games that you like but you never finished for any reason? Which game is it? Doesn’t matter how many times you play and replay it you just never get to see the credits roll. I think Skyrim gonna be a quite common answer xD
Tons. Sometimes I don’t get bored of the game, per se, just the genre, and start playing something totally different.
…you’re supposed to finish them?
… most of them, embarrassingly. I buy games when they’re on steep sale, but rarely actually gst to the end of them (Hollow Knight was the last one I completed, as I recall).
Witcher 3. Cyberpunk. Shadow of War. Horizon zero dawn. Ghost of Tsushima. Red dead redemption 2. God of war. Ratchet and Clank. Control. Returnal. Fire Emblem Engage, and Three Houses. Hollow knight. Xenoblade Chronicles 1, 2 and 3. Demons souls remake. Monster Hunter Rise. Outer Wilds. Death Stranding. Prey. FF7 remake. Half life Alyx. And many many many more.
I’ve played through most of them and tried replaying them multiple times but always get bored before the end.
The only reason I haven’t purchased ff16 is because I know I won’t finish it. That and it looks like a devil may cry clone so I’ll wait for it to be on sale.
I have a major “never finish good games” problem. It’s probably a shorter list to name games I have finished.
I have the same problem, either life gets in the way just long enough for me to lose interest/find picking the game back up to be too daunting, or I get side tracked on side missions and getting the best gear before fighting the last boss that I get bored/lose interest. Ironically, the games that I actually do beat, I am generally so overpowered by the end of it that the final boss/mission is little to no challenge and I lose interest immediately after.
Funnily enough I managed to sit down and finish Skyrim not too long ago, DLC included. What I have been struggling with is The Witcher 3. (Which a friend gifted me back in 2019)
In a lot of games i feel the need to do all the side content and never manage to finish the game proper before I end up really burnt out and bored.
It’s pretty much like being a completionist but not enjoying it at all lol
Skyrim … Yes I played over 200 hours but never finished the main quest. I always start a new game.
Fallout 4, Elden Ring (I got around 3 fights left), Borderlands 3, Dying Light, Dead Island
honestly most single player games. While I enjoy the games, I much prefer to play multiplayer games or games that let me unwind better.
Witcher 3. So good. So hard to finish.
This is a game that should be my ideal game. Everything about it screams that I’d love it. But I’ve attempted to start it probably 6 different times, ranging between 2 and 10ish hours of play each time. I just can’t get hooked and now I’ve done the intro too many times :( I really want to love this game.
Hollow Knight…need to put in the time to finish it at some point still.
Almost every game I have played in the past few years. Between personal life and a shit attention span it’s harder to finish games I enjoy before jumping to the next one.
Darkest Dungeon, in my case. Love the vibe, love the gameplay, realise that I’ll be doing basically the same thing for the next 60 hours if I want to beat it, lose interest.
Borderlands 2. Never could be bothered with all the endless lot boxes full of trash… Killed by inventory management
Factorio. Beautiful elegant game but hard af.
A lot of roguelikes. Especially if they use a grind to unlock system. Dead cells and rogue legacy 2 come to mind.
RDR2. I like every game design philosophy this game stands for. I love how slower-paced and contemplative, how tactile with everything it is. I just can’t summon the excitement to go through the story.
Yeah, the same thing happened to me. I was taking my pace but it took me so long to get anything done that eventually it just fizzled out for me. I don’t think I made it half way through the story and at this point I don’t think I can go back and play it because it seems like such a chore.
