Games you've been playing for years but never completed

many - I have a very small attention span when it comes to games. The ones I have finished are all the ones I'm likely to play again. The ones I got 80% through are likely to get a replay at some point, and the many that I started and didn't finish are probably doomed to gather dust on my shelf.

I really should go back to IWD2 and beat the bosses there. Lost a few times, then just got bored, have yet to return. Haven't played them "for years" though.

That about sums it up, the other games I have never completed I wouldn't even want to complete nowadays anyway (Morrowind, Oblivion *yugh*, that's about it).

Morrowind can be worth it if you mod the shit out of it - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tN0vYp9nabQ

Also if you get the Sixth House mod you can play the opposite side of the story and be a bad guy. The combat can be fixed to make it real-time.

GTA 3
Far Cry 2
Pretty much any Tomb Raider game after Tomb Raider 2 (which I now realise is the vast majority)

Someone mentioned Civ IV, I bought that on Steam with all the expansion packs then played it about three times and stopped because I thought it was a big dull pile of suck. Teach me not to buy software without pirating it first.

You know when you click reply then look at something else while waiting for the reply page to load and forget what you were going to say? I did that just now.

Oh, and I'm aware it's entirely a matter of opinion but Civ IV is dull because it's like The Sims on a grander scale and I don't like The Sims so I probably wouldn't like "the same thing only bigger".

I did like the icon representing the Internet though.

Sorry, as a Civ fan that comment about Civ IV triggered instant fanboy rage, until logic kicked back in. Now I am back to normal mode. I personally find Civ games to be EPIC, and whilst slow they are fun for me to play. Except the one for consoles, that one gave a a headache very quickly.

[Morti]

Yeah, despite my complaining about it I totally accept that it's simply in a genre I don't enjoy and as a representation of that genre I'm sure it's very good. Like many things you either get it or you don't, so this isn't a game I'd ever hope to review objectively.

System Shock.

Same, actually. I got close the last time I played but then I went through a door that closed behind me, died, respawned, looked around for a way to open it up again and couldn't find it, then stupidly saved and quit to go look up a guide and see what the hell was going on, only to find I had just completely ruined my game. >_>

Ps2 Sims singleplayer campaign.

the what now? Sims has a campaign mode?

Basically you design your dude and then you start off living with your mum, and then once you got some money to buy a microwave or something you end up going to stay with Dudley or his sister if you are female, then some other places, then I got stuck at the point where you have to give Timothy the bum or something food etc...

Pretty sure that's one of the spin-offs, and not Sims 2. The Sims bustin' out I believe.

[Dead-eye]

Yeah there where a lot mentioned that I realized I had never beaten.

Black & White
System Shock
GTA 3 & 4.
Tomb Raider Anniversary
Far Cry
Silent Hunter 4. (Although I don't know if you can beat this game.)
Company of Heros
x3: Terran Conflict
Doom3
Doom2
Finale Doom
Lost Planet: extreme Condition (haven't even installed... ever)
Hexen 1 2 & 3
Every quake game
Railroad Tycoon 3
wolfenstine 3D
Freedom force vs. Third Reich
Commander Keen

Some of these games I got for real cheep on steam, for example I got every game made by ID softwere ever for $30. But I didn't care too much for any of their games so I never installed some of them.

Way back in the day I would have added Deus Ex to this list before I got a computer that wouldn't have frame rate drops when climbing the statue of liberty. The jump from a 600mhz to 2.7ghz processor finally convinced me to give the game a try.

I still haven't beaten The Nameless Mod when working for the evil(er) guys yet.

[Xesum]

Excuse me.

You have not finished Commander Keen?

You sir have just entered my hate list.

Good day.

[Epifols]

Half Life 1

I've started it 3 times now, it just doesn't pull me in.
