Games

Dungeon Master. I refuse to use a guide, so even though I've been playing it for almost 25 years, I still haven't finished it. Always run out of food...

Probably Skyrim because I haven't finished Dark Brotherhood yet, the last major vanilla faction questline remaining

I used to like playing hard games but I’m done with them now. I don’t have the skill to complete them without putting a lot of time in and I don’t have the time anymore.

Returnal was fantastic and Sifu was even more fun but I’ll never finish either of them.

Horizon Forbidden West; I went on holiday just before the final mission and when I went to pick it back up, I discovered that my controller was fucked. Now I'm waiting for the PC remaster because, I still find using a controller slightly unnatural.

Gta V will probably only be truly "finished" for me when gta 6 comes out (assuming that it's going to be as good of a game). 10 years later I still keep finding new stuff in it. I really hope 6 can live up to it.

Rust I guess? TF2? Anything multiplayer I had fun with people I know in. I can't start single player games anymore and put too much in unless I know it will go somewhere otherwise they kinda... get dropped.

Factorio with the space exploration mod.

A mod, not a game, but Terrafirmacraft.

I deeply love every part of it, except the ore prospecting system. I always use commands to find my first copper vein because I find it so grindy otherwise. Doesn’t help that the vast majority of TFC’s progression is locked behind copper.

So I guess technically I’ll probably never complete the game legit.

For me I think it is more for JRPG genre games as growing older makes me unable to access them easily as I was younger due to time constraint, somehow I am more appreciate shorter game because I can finish them faster.

This reminds me of my Final Fantasy XII International Zodiac Job System that I had on PS2, lost track where I was progressing and not really want to finish it as I felt the world is large enough with some hidden optional bosses. Another instance of unfinished playthrough is my SMT: Strange Journey because I had lost my track due to irl stuff while the save had 80hr on the clock.

Another series that I would not finish is Harvest Moon/Story of Season, had Back to Nature and A Wonderful Life on PS2 back then (and now on steam), could not complete them as it feels more like a chore. First year is enough for me to mark it as complete.

Payday 2 too with thousands of achievements that I did not bother to collect, I just played them for fun and with friends.

Underrail. I love the game so much but every time I hit the level cap I just lose interest completely. Doesn't help that the guy developing it is violently opposed to modding.

Probably shiren the wanderer, it's a pure roguelite so you can't brute force it like the more forgiving roguelites with permanent upgrades, but I only play in short bursts and always forget stuff when I finally play again.

I got into no man's sky late after a bunch of updates. I've got too much cool stuff to start over.

Fallout: New Vegas.

Love the game, it's potentially the best in the series. But I've hit the same game-ending glitch twice. Basically at a certain point an important faction decides to become completely hostile towards me despite me having positive faction rep and despite lots of tweaking with console commands to try to work around the problem.

I'd even restored a save from ten hours prior to triggering the bug and still had the problem once I progressed a quest line.

Super frustrating. I've experienced a lot of the early game multiple times but never gotten to the end of any of the major quest lines.

Right now it's hogwarts legacy. My friend beat it within a week of launch, I got it the same day and only played maybe halfway through. It's a good game but idk can't get myself to sit down and play

Ohhh too many to count. But the one that comes to mind is Demons Souls. I play all of the Souls games, but I just not built to finish a game like that.
