My list of shame

This is a list of games that I started playing and then set down for one reason or another. A list of games that are unfinished by me, and probably will stay that way to the end of my days. This is not a list of games in my sizable backlog of games on Steam, PS3 and 360.

I'd like to say that this list is as long as it will ever be, but that just wouldn't be honest, this list will likely grow longer than the number of games currently in my Steam backlog (142 games currently.)

There are one or two games that overlap with my backlog because I want to go back to and finish them one day, but I don't know that I ever will, so the majority of these games I do not count in my backlog.

This list will grow as I remember games that I have stopped and have no intention of finishing.

List items

  • I don't really feel shame that I won't ever play this game again, but this is a list of games I will (probably) never finish. Plain and simple, I hate this game, I made a category in Steam called "Don't Play This Game," it only contains Hammerfight.

  • I really want to complete this game, but I cannot bring myself to play it any more than the 25 minutes I already put into it. The atmosphere is just too oppressively crushing. Maybe one day, but probably not.

  • Being separated from my time with this game for several years allows me say that this game isn't "bad" but it is not the Final Fantasy game I wanted. To be honest, I don't know that I actually want any Final Fantasy game anymore. I played this game up to chapter 11, and once the game finally opened up, I got bored of it. I'm not sure what that says about me or the game, but I know that I will probably never put the game back in my PS3. Also, because Squenix took so fucking long to give any update on FFXV and instead pumped out sequel after sequel to this game, my interest in XV has waned to the point that I really don't care. I may never play a new FF game ever again, maybe I've just out grown a series that was a substantial part of my childhood.

  • I don't know why I stopped playing this game (three times) but each time I have played it, I have stopped right before the final battle, uninstalled it and went on to other games. I really wish I knew why I keep doing that, but sometimes I don't know my own motivations.

  • Probably the biggest "shame" on this list. I really enjoyed what I have played of this game, but these days I cannot play more than an hour or two before I stop. I think maybe I am spoiled by the controls and graphics of the two newer Elder Scrolls games, that going back to Morrowind is exceptionally difficult. That being said, Morrowind is a great game, and if they were to do a remake of it with updated graphics and controls I truly belive it would be the best ES game.
