This question popped into my head when I was playing Void Stranger. I just got done with the game and will probably never play it again despite not finishing it. The game is genuinely amazing but it just gets so demanding as you progress through it. I ended up watching the second half of the game on YouTube.

What is your favorite game that you feel is really cool and special but you never felt the pull of actually finishing it, and why?

Tetris apparently

Super Meat Boy, I think lol

It‘s not my favorite game ever, but it certainly is one of the best games in my library I‘ve too much of a skill issue to completely beat

Final Fantasy VII. I was never able to beat the sephiroth boss fight. I enjoyed the story, but I don't feel the need to play it again.

I honestly have no idea if I ever finished Skyrim. I finished a ton of quests and became an unbeatable bow hunting dragon killer who yelled all the time. I'm pretty sure I got to some castle where I had to choose a faction and just didn't bother. I explored for a couple hundred hours and never played again. 7 years later I played Morrowblivion and then replayed Oblivion (I couldn't get Skyblivion to work if I remember right). I've debated playing VR Skyrim, but I don't want to repay for the game.

I still haven't finished Bastion because I didn't want to break the loop.

I still haven't finished Planescape: Torment despite playing it over many years because I had too much fun reloading and exploring parallel branches.

At this point, FNV. Got it a year or 2 ago on PC with all DLC and I'm just now getting to New Vegas after an extended break of not touching the game.

That’s such a good one to finish, though. The final battle and conversation with Legate Lanius are good stuff.

The Celeste mod Strawberry Jam. It's a lot of fun, but I'd be more than satisfied with just getting through the expert levels, which are already at the point where simply watching gameplay of them would kill a small Victorian child, but I'm at just the right level of masochism that this is a tough but satisfying grind. But I've seen what's next, I'm fully aware of the horrors of the Grandmaster levels, and I know I'll hit my upper limit well before 100% completion.

Undertale. Got two of the endings and got to Final Boss of Murder Mode. Tried 50+ times and decided I’m just not skilled enough to beat that boss. Looked up a vid of the ending and was satisfied. What a wonderful game.

I've enjoyed a lot of Earth Defense Force, but it seems like there's a TON of missions in it. I'm up to 30 or so and have already had some big "This is our epic final battle against the Giant Insects!" moments - and it goes up to 90-something missions, plus DLC.

[-] sonovebitch@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Escape From Tarkov.

I love the game mechanics. But I suck so bad, I'll never get the last quests.

Well no-one else has said it yet but pokemon.
Over my childhood i played a hell of a lot of Red, Silver, Sapphire and Leaf Green, but i never got close to completing the pokedex.

On my first pokemon (silver) i had three pokemon at lvl100, and the rest of the party was lvl95-98 playing the elite 4 over and over and over with a single pokemon just to get the last few levels (after running out of rare candies) but i never got the dex closer than ~30 pokemon off. Even disregarding the trade or alternate version exclusives and the [practically]unobtainables (legendaries from event codes) it was such a grind to get some of the last pokemon with high evolution lvls and i just never managed to finish that pokedex.

I have come to terms that i will never infact 'catch em all'.

Risk of Rain 2 for me. I’ve “finished” the final boss but there’s so much more to unlock and do in that game that I’m not sure I’ll ever be done with it. Absolute blast to play with friends especially when you get those miracle runs where you get all the items that are amazing for your respective classes!

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.

[-] mo_lave@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Cyclist@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah I refuse to finish the main story line. We all know why.

Probably Hollow Knight at this rate. That 112% is a lot.

[-] simple@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

If we're counting 100%ing, then yeah, Godhome can suck it. Path of pain alone was pushing me to the edge.

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...

[-] FunkyMonk@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 1 year ago

Rust. TF2. Anything multiplayer...

Can't finish a game that doesn't end. 😌
