Out of over 700 games that I own, these are top 50 or so (in no particular order) that I regret never finishing or, in some cases, never even started. In my defense, I buy alot of games simply for collecting purposes. But some of these are too shameful to even attempt having an excuse.
Just never finished it.
Just picked it up at PAX 09 from Pink Gorilla, but I fear I'll never get to it.
Probably my favorite game that I never finished. I dream of retiring in 40 years and finally finishing it.
I loved the first one, but by the time the sequel arrived, I was addicted to EQ and never even took disc 1 out of the case.
Shamefully never bought it until recently at PAX 09 from Pink Gorilla.
Another RPG I never began.
It just was never my thing. I tried several times but never got very far. I loved 4 though.
I think I grabbed this while working at GameStop when someone foolishly traded it in...then never played it.
I remember looking forward to this game, then played maybe two hours of it.
Yet another RPG I simply never completed.
The one Zelda game I just simply did not like...at all. But being a Zelda fan, I should have finished it.
I wish I had a different excuse, but I just got bored.
Never even put it in the PS2.
Picked it up a few years ago for the collection. Still never started it.
Another casualty to my EQ years.
Played maybe four hours or so.
Never saw the inside of a PS2.
I bought the Slime Controller from Hori, then never played the game. WTF is wrong with me?
Don't know why, just never finished it. I marathon'd the sequel though and beat it in two sittings. Who knows.
I love Naughty Dog, but I don't think I even started this one.
I was very close to the end, then I moved. Once I unpacked, I never bothered to finish it. Lame, I know.
Decided I wouldn't start it til I finished the first one. See above.
See description for MGS above.
Probably in the top 5 most shameful in the pile of shame. I think it's still in the plastic.
Another game I was looking forward to and just never started.
I got about halfway through and got lost in the shuffle of the releases of that year.
Very cool game, but maybe not my thing. I don't know.
RPG #384 that I never completed.
I didn't get an Xbox until the Summer of 2003. So I missed the first wave of the Halo craze.
I really love BioWare, and I can't remember for the life of me why I never finished this. I'm sure something else came out right around the same time.
Not playing this makes me feel guilty for the demise of Oddworld Inhabitants as a game developer.
Still factory sealed. For shame.
Such a unique experience, but never completed it.
One of the first two GameCube games I owned. I finished Sunshine, but not this. Figure that out.
I appreciate its awesomeness, but it just wasn't for me.
That shit got ridiculously hard somewhere around the middle.
I meant to play it on the flight to and from PAX 09, but I ended up playing FFVII on PSP. Go figure.
I bought the red PSP and never even played the game that came with it. I have problems.
I had a lot of fun with this one, but something else came out Banjo got chucked onto the pile.
Just picked this up in September 2009. When will I play it? Who knows.
It wasn't good, but it was better than people gave it credit for. With that said, I quit about halfway through.
Only played about four hours of it and didn't get very far.
Got the collector's edition, then never even started it. I was really looking forward to the multiplayer too.
No explanation for not finishing this.
This game is hilarious. I cannot fathom why I never completed it.
Such a cool game. Maybe I wasn't smart enough to finish it.
I really liked this game. I went back to it about a year later, but still never finished it. I remember thinking it was a pretty long game for the amount of time I spent on it. But half of that time was probably reorganizing my inventory/bank and trying not to throw stuff away.
This came out the same week as Unreal Tournament 2004. UT2004 won my attention first.
I got stuck in some type of sewer room and couldn't figure out how to get out. Then I never went back. I know. I'm a bad person.
