Blasphemous. Fantastic game, great atmosphere, but a little too tedious, too much backtracking, etc.

Im honestly not sure the last time I actually finished a game.
A combination of not having enough play time and those rare occasions I do have the time I tend to burn myself out playing the game.
Breath of the Wild 😞
The world wasn’t interesting enough for me. It felt like the same 45 minute game loops over and over again.
Too many chores. Too much filler in between (very good) puzzles. Traversal way too boring.
All imo of course. I feel the same way about almost all open world games these days. I don’t play video games to do chores.
If I could play just the dungeons in BOTW & TOTK all in a row, 10/10.
The Talos Principle.
I just stopped playing it one day and never touched it again. I didn’t dislike anything about it.
Same, but I’m stuck at one specific puzzle near the end.
Same.
Oh damn… You should try to finish it, the end is so satisfying!
Baldur’s Gate 3.
I’ve put over 500 hours in, play it almost every day, and still have yet to complete the main story in any of my playthroughs. It’s just so good, and I feel like completing the game will give it too much finality.
Wolfenstein: The New Colossus.
Just doesn’t hold my interest the way The New Order did, the stealth seems to be a lot worse and buggy which makes it hard to avoid enemy reinforcements from being summoned, and while the suit is cool that you get, the lowered max health makes the game a lot more frustrating. I’ve beat The New Order twice, I still have yet to beat The New Colossus.
Subnautica. I always have so much fun exploring and crafting things, but then for one reason or another I end up putting it aside. By the time I get back to it, I’ve forgotten how to play so I end up starting a new game, only for the cycle to repeat. One of these days I’ll finish it!
I really struggle to enjoy crafting in Subnautica. Something about it just feels clunky and/or a step removed from me, and I don’t engage with it very well.
Please do, it’s so good.
Subnautica is absolute fire all the way through. But then again quitting before completion, forgetting all about it, and being able to perpetually start anew as it were your magical first time playing sounds like a pretty good plan for game edging :>
Baldur’s Gate 3. I never finished Act 1. I’m sure it’s great. I enjoyed what I did play. I just put it down one night and never picked it back up.
Baldurs Gate 3.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the game, and I’m sure I will finish it at some point. I just played it too much for a while, and found myself rushing for the main quest and ignoring side quests right after arriving at Baldurs Gate. I took that as a sign that I was in “just get it over with”-mode, so I decided to take a break for quite some time so that I can one day return to the game, take a step back, and continue with the pace that I had to begin with.
Dwarf Fortress
I don’t think you can finish dwarf fortress
FFX
First time I played was at a boyfriend’s house. I got like 80% of the way through, then we broke up.
Second time, I let a friend borrow my GameCube in exchange for his PS2. I got about 80% of the way through, then he wanted his PS2 back.
I finally got my own PS2. Played about 80% of the way through but had a couple bad builds and couldn’t beat a boss. I didn’t have energy to grind my way into a better build, so I just never finished.
It’s been ~20 years. I still sometimes think I’ll break out the old PS2 and see if my save file is there. I probably won’t.
The remastered copy on Steam let’s you speed up the game. It is much quicker running around at x4 speed and clearing random encounters. Then slow game speed to normal for major bosses and events. I would highly recommend this route rather than trying to find a PS2 again.
If you haven’t played FFX-2 or FFXII then those are worth checking out too.
Omg, I had no clue that existed. Thank you!
I mentioned your comment to my partner after I saw it. Last night, he showed me he’d bought the FFX/X-2 bundle on Steam for me! So I guess I might actually finish the game after all :D
Awesome. Have fun.
Don’t sleep on FFXII. That’s on the Steam store as well after you’re done with this.
Morrowind. I loved exploring the world, hoarding stuff, and leveling up, but towards the final boss area I just kind of fell off and played other games. I don’t even remember why, it has been a few years now. Definitely put like 2-3 hundred hours into it. Also used several gorgeous graphical mods which made exploring the world even better.
I like playing minecraft. But i have never gotten to the credit screen
Exactly the same for me too haha, I’ve beat the ender dragon with friends before on shared worlds, but I’ve never beaten it in my own single player world.
I generally have really short bursts of playing MC these days, and by the time I play again a new update has come out so I usually just completely reset to new world features and such. I know that they generate in unexplored chunks and that you can go prune chunks and whatnot, but rather than spend time doing that I’d rather just spend the time playing. Hell, these days I don’t even usually get to the stage of getting Netherite gear.
Same, played since beta era, haven’t even gotten to the end world. My potato farms are doing ok, though.
Subnautica. Basically can’t figure out where to go next. Fortunately I got it as a physical release on Switch so I can just sell the cart.
When I beat Subnautica, there were long periods of me just wandering around gawking at the scenery until I stumbled upon what I needed to do next. To me, that wasn’t a bad thing either. I wish there was some way to selectively wipe from my memory everything I remember about the game so I’d get to play through rediscovering everything again.
Hint: ::: spoiler spoiler go deeper :::
I don’t even need to know where you left off in the game.
