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?

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.

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.

Factorio with the space exploration mod.

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.

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.

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

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