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
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.
Red Dead and HZD are in my top 10 favorites of all time. Try giving them another go if you get the chance!
… 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).
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.
Tons. Sometimes I don’t get bored of the game, per se, just the genre, and start playing something totally different.
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.
I’m in the same boat. I’ve started taking a stance of only getting new games whenever I finish the ones that I’ve already started… Didn’t work so well because I just keep procrastinating playing those games. I think my problem is more about being unmotivated and depression than actually lack of time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
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.
Death Stranding started playing it twice, played throught almost the whole story but never finished it.
The story is truly great. I understand the gameplay can be a bit boring, but maybe try to look at it as more meditative than anything.
Strangely enough, I quite liked the gameplay.
I loved it myself as well
…you’re supposed to finish them?
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.
The Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
I got to the point where I nearly finished it, but I just stopped playing. I was enjoying it so I figured that I’d wait a few years till the whole of it was out to finish the first part. That way I can go through it and not have to be stuck listening to news and rumors as to when the story would finish.
Shameful to say but The Witcher 3 WH. I love the game and the plot but somehow I always get overwhelmed and drop off.
Same. Towards the end of the game feels like a slog
Hollow Knight…need to put in the time to finish it at some point still.
Divinity Original Sin, the first one. Always loses me somewhere in the middle and then it has been too long to come back.
