I've started Deus Ex several times, but never finished it. When it was new, I got to the part in Hong Kong where you get the sword, but then my save corrupted and my previous save was far enough back that I didn't want to do that stuff again. Doesn't help that the opening mission in the Statue of Liberty is easily the worst part of the game.
If you think it's bad now just wait until college. At first it will be great because you will have tons of "free" time and not stuck in jail for 7 hours a day. Then once you get into harder classes everything is much more demanding. When I feel I have nothing urgent to do all I want is to lay around and watch movies or go drinking. Come to think of it I probably did more gaming in school than out of it. I had an xperia play with racing games and Mega Man X 4,5,6. I played it relentlessly and my teachers never really cared because I was a good student / class clown/ smart ass. It kept me quiet, so they let it slide.
I've started the third Tomb Raider on the PS1 5 or 6 times, but I always grow tired of it before finishing it. It's the only game in the series that I haven't managed to finish yet.
Believe me, I'm dreading it. I've got barely any college money and student loans scare me, and I've got bad grades. Hell I don't even know what college I want to go to, let alone how to write an application letter or all that crap. Maybe I'll just stay in my parent's basement (I kid, I kid).
Dark siders 2 was an amazing game, I wanted to clear it 100% But I got stuck in the end-game-labyrinth and stopped playing.. meh
I've played the standard edition of the game on PS3, and tbh it didn't feel like a TR game to me, but more like an Uncharted chapter featuring Lara Croft. I miss the old series design with less action and more jumps. Also, the jumping parts seemed so easy, I felt it was almost impossible to miss a platform. It's indeed a good game, but I would have preferred it to be a spin-off series like Guardian of Light. I also understand that times have changed and platform games are not as popular as before.
Never finished L.A. Noire although I'm almost done (Gas Man case). It started to feel like work half way in, and the dialogues proved to be quite frustrating. Sometimes only "Doubt" is correct when the eye movement and nervousness would make me think that the guy is totally lying. It's also quite annoying when you have to trial & error yourself through these long interrogations for multiple times... even extremely well-done scripts and voice-acting become boring when you have to listen to them 3, 4 or 5 times in 30 minutes. I soon began to follow a walkthrough rather than to screw up my mission rating every single time, and from that point on the gameplay was of course even duller than before. It's a shame because I really dig the atmosphere of 1940s film noir. I watched lots and lots of old Hollywood crime movies from the 1930s and 1940s in my teenage years, as German TV channels would often broadcast them from 11pm - 3am ish on the weekends. I love the game for bringing these movie scenes to life in an interactive, detailed and gorgeous-looking virtual Los Angeles, but the gameplay just sucks in my opinion.
I think I got to the exact same part of it as well. Just got bored watching it over and over again, set it down and never came back.
I did finish LA Noire, but I will admit that the last quarter of that game just felt like a chore to get through. It's one of those games that I lose interest in, but since I know I am so close to the end, I have to complete it. The style of game play it has just doesn't keep you hooked that long. I do think it was a worthy game to play, it just doesn't have any replay value.
Let me see. I usually finish every game I play. Some fighting games in the hardest I can give up some times, but not always. A game I need to finish is Robotron 64. IIRC, it has 200 levels and I've stoped at 140-50.
Something tells me it's going to be All the Metal Gear Solid games....... Since I'm playing 3, Peace Walker and 4 at the same time.
I've never finished any of the Mario RPG / Paper Mario games for any of the Nintendo consoles. Though I owned Super Mario RPG as a kid and invested 40+ hours into it back then as well as fairly recently when revisited it I stopped maybe 80%-90% of the way finished. Dunno why, but also I put a bunch of hours into Paper Mario Thousand Year Door for GC (I'm incl. this as it's an RPG of sorts) as well as Super Paper Mario for Wii and again I've repeatedly stopped or abandoned playing them 3/4 of the way till completion. After multiple times playing through a big chunk of the main story for 7 Stars, Thousand Year Door and Super Paper Mario without ever beating 'em, I feel like I got enough enjoyment out of 'em to move on and not play 'em again. Earthbound for SNES, I've tried three times over the years to complete the story, and I logged 20+ hours my last attempt playing it. It's been lurking in the SNES section of my backlog for years!! Oh, and also Conkers Bad Fur Day for the N64. Few years ago I almost completed it with a large amount of the optional collectible stuff done. The save file was on a cart that I sold a while ago, so now the effort of tracking down a reasonably-priced physical copy just to redo and recollect stuff so I can finish it doesn't sound so great, since having a completed save file on the physical cartridge is, to me, much cooler / more satisfying than emulating it!!!!
I've never finished the newer Elder Scrolls or Fallout games. I always get excited about them when I start playing but it kind of fizzles after 10 or so hours. To me, the biggest issue has to be the writing, it's mostly boring or just straight up stupid. Many times the side quests are a lot more interesting than the main story. Don't get me wrong though, they are fun to play. Technically they're impressive and you have lots of things to do, but without a solid story to accompany it I just can't be bothered. Bethesda desperately needs better writers. That being said, I do intend to start Skyrim for the nth time and this time actually finish it, maybe even do some streaming. Another one that I've started at least half a dozen times is Dragon Age Origins. It's not a bad game by all means, it's actually quite enjoyable but I still loose interest in it pretty quickly. But then again, I do lean more towards sci fi than fantasy when it comes to games and especially rpg's, hence I couldn't get enough of Mass Effect. (Spring 2017 can't come fast enough!) To me the biggest reason why I do not finish games these days is time. Having two kids, a two year old and a month old, keeps my schedule fairly busy. So a game has to be pretty exceptional if I'm going to devote the small amount of game time I have for it.
