    Default Games You Wish You'd Finished

    Simple. Post a game you regret quitting or feel like you should go back and finish.

    For me it's... way too many games, but for now I'll say FF9.

    Got to disc 2 and just kind of stopped playing. Sucks.

    I really should go back and finish it.

    Grandia. I have just one more stage to go. I think I burned myself out on it because I spent so much extra time in the tower powering up my characters. Then I wasn't satisfied until I got Feena's final attack.... which took WEEKS of grinding to get.


    ........ Maybe I should finish it. Been taking a 2 month break from it. Then i'll go back to playing that buggy ass english version of der langrisser. Damn thing freezes every 5 minutes!

    Another one is Suikoden.

    I barely got started, really and since I put it down for so long, picking it up again is a pain, since there's no place to go to find out what the hell I'm supposed to do next.

    Happens constantly with RPGs for me. I play it, I put it down for two weeks, I come back, and I don't remember where in the game I am.

    I didn't used to be like that. When I was a kid, I didn't have many games. And there was no internet to download games from. So I only played a handful of games at a time. Actually, I would pretty much 99% of the time stay on one game until I finished it. Especially rpg's. As I got older, I eventually bought 100 PS2 games and started skipping around with playing them. Play a bit here.... stop. Pick a new one and start with that one.... and maybe go back to the first one later. Like.... 8 months later!

    It takes away from the experience. I should really break that habbit and stop that! It only got worse after I learned how to download!

    I somewhat regret never finishing Fallout 3, 'cause from what I hear it's an amazing game and a really cool story.

    But goddamn if I can bring myself to play it again. I just thinking about it.

    I don't play PC games. And it wasn't the story I found boring, it was the game itself. I'm not a huge fan of sandbox games, and I didn't really like the semi-RPG/FPS fighting style. At all. In fact, I hated it. So unless there is a mod that will let me play the game like DOOM, then something tells me no amount of mods is going to save this experience for me.

    Probably Final Fantasy 6. I actually dropped it rather early in the story and never went back to it. There's a few more, like Shadow Hearts 3, Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song, Arc Rise Fantasia, and Tales of Rebirth, but they're all games I'm definitely planning to finish in the future because they're awesome.

    I guess I should mention Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled as well. The game was kind of a frustrating mess, but I just wanted to see how the story unfolds. Too bad I lost my save file.

    I also quit playing FFX right before the final boss. After getting killed 3 times in a row by Jecht, I just couldn't be arsed to try again. I already know how the story ends, anyway. And unlike this game, I did actually finish X-2, so I also know how it continues afterwards.

    Final Fantasy XII actually, I played like 14 hours of it, turned it off one day and never played it again. I still have my old save but I have no idea what the story is, and it was like 4 years ago that I stopped playing it.

    I suppose Final Fantasy XIII. Not because I thought it was good, because it wasn't. But more because I wanted to like it so badly that I nearly finished it. I'm in the final chapter, and simply cannot force myself to pick it up again. So while I'm still mildly curious as to how the game ends, I just can't force myself to play through that last bit.

    FFVII. Got to the half of disc 2 and stopped. I don't know, but I think I was just tired of reading, LOL. I still have the save file, but I forgot what happened before in the story, so I think I'll start it over again.

    If you had just recruited that old lady, she tells you.

    In fact, as long as you have a base you will very rarely not know what to do in a Suikoden game. Chances are you didn't have one though, but yeah. PLAY IT.

    Random negative status at the start of battle . I have lots of DS games left unfinished, if I deleted Bangai-O from my microSD I would probably finish them .

    Planescape: Torment. I got to the tower of skulls or whatever, which is apparently really close to the end, and for some dumbass reason I stopped playing and now it's two years later. SHIT
