You know, those games that you have abandoned in the corner of your room collecting dust. They await your return continually sinking into sorrow. Yeah... The ones I can think of are:

- Fire Emblem Awakening
- Final Fantasy 13-2

Both I have not completed for the same reason. The games are great, but the playstyles are completely different from what I'm used to playing and there just seems to be a lot more that goes into the combat system. What are your abandoned games?
 
Bought the Wii U for Wii Fit (i know, lmao) and there it is, played two times with the idea of ''this is such a great idea! I will make exercise everyday because Wii Fit is obviously super fun!''. Haven't touched the thing since december.
 
Ironically for where I am on rhe internet, but New Leaf. It was fun at first, but then It just got repetitive, and I haven't played it since August.
 
Oh god, I have a ton. xD I have a knack for not finishing games.

Zelda Wind Waker
Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon
Fire Emblem Awakening
Pokemon X (I mean, I've beaten the champion but I haven't finished the looker mission)
Sonic Heroes
Sonic Generations
Kirby Triple Deluxe
Sonic Riders
Many more ones on PS2 and Gamecube that I've forgotten about.

It's not that I hate these games and refuse to play them... I just get distracted with Animal Crossing, anime and the Internet. xD
 
Oh man, so many

Pokemon Alpha Sapphire
Pokemon LeafGreen
Fire Emblem: Awakening
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
Metroid: Fusion (I actually got stuck on this one, I didn't just abandon it out of nowhere)
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker

And maybe more I can't think of atm
 
There's quite a few:


Final Fantasy XIII-2/XIII-3
I think the XIII trilogy is damn awful and I only own the games to keep the Final Fantasy collection complete. I forced my way through the first game and tried to do the same with XIII-2. I checked a walkthrough to see how far I was and I'm pretty much at the end of the game (last boss encounter if I remember correctly) but I really can't be bothered finishing it off.
Lightning Returns I haven't even touched. I picked it up for ?5 just so I had it. I don't actually plan on playing it at all.

Demon's Souls
I've had it for like 2 years and barely touched it. It wasn't because I found it hard (it was actually rather easy), I just couldn't see a damn thing in that game. Saying it's dark would be an understatement, the game is essentially just black a lot of the time.
I've picked it up again recently because 'why not' and I still have that issue. Changing the brightness doesn't really help much either. It would be fine if they gave me a torch or something...I'll probably end up dropping it again by the end of the week.

Lair
Got to the 'start' screen.
I picked it up for 50p so I've essentially got my money's worth just from that. It's apparently an awful game anyway so I'm probably not missing much.

Heavenly Sword
Played it for a few hours, haven't touched it since.
It was actually really fun...I'm honestly not sure why I didn't finish it. I think another game came out that was higher priority to me.

Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D
I never completed the original either but after buying and playing this, I don't really understand all the hype for it. I'm at the 'ice temple' and honestly, that's probably the farthest I'm going to get.

Fantasy Life
Why do I still own this?

Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time
Again, nothing wrong with this game, I just stopped playing it for some reason. I think Kingdom Hearts 1.5 came out whilst I was playing this and that took priority....Speaking of which...

Kingdom Hearts 1.5
I've gotten the platinum trophy for Kingdom Hearts Remastered, so I've done that.
Chain of Memories though? God damn, I hate that game. I wish this game was released as HD cutscenes instead of the other one...

Final Fantasy X-2
I own both the original and the remastered version of this.
- The original I got 'the bad ending' and decided that was 'good enough' since I didn't really like the game, so it was an excuse to stop playing and claim I had still actually completed it.
- The remaster I think I got to chapter 2 and stopped.

Link's Crossbow Training
I never actually planned on playing this, I just picked it up for ?1 because it was there.

Metroid Other M
I've not even touched this. It's not because I hear it's a bad game (I would rather play it and decide myself), I just haven't gotten around to actually playing it yet.

Hyrule Warriors
I've done the 'story mode', just not really anything else. I do keep coming back to it regularly though, I just find it hard to sit there and play it non stop since it is a very repetitive game. For perspective of how 'complete' it is, I'm still on the first adventure map and haven't even touched the DLC maps.

ICO/Shadow of the Colossus HD
I've completed the originals on PS2 but with these, I bought it, played Shadow of the Colossus for an hour and stuck it on the shelf.

Stitch: Experiment 626
This is one of those obscure PS2 games nobody seems to know existed. It was kind of awful anyway so you're not missing anything...The only reason I even bought it was because Stitch was in it.


I won't include my PC library...I'll just say "95% of it".

I bought Sonic Free Riders, but then I heard that it gave people physical pain (you steer by moving/tilting your body left to right, and to do tricks you literally had to jump and other ridiculous things like that). I never opened it

Sly Cooper 2 and Pokemon Omega Ruby. I just don't really have the time to play with school going on. By the time I finish homework I'm just tired and want to do nothing but read or watch videos on YouTube.
 
Kid Icarus: Uprising is one for sure. I got it free from Club Nintendo, and I just don't like its play style. I also hate Palutena. It's aggravating that she's constantly there... I wish I could turn her off lmao. I love Pit though, so I'll struggle through it for him.

Assassin's Creed III is another. Great game, but it's a bit slow-paced so I'm never hyped to play it, you know? I can spend several hours on it when I do pick it up, though.

Odin Sphere... Started it and haven't touched it for years. The characters are so cute. I need to get back to it.

Other than that, I generally finish games I start unless I don't like them and sell them.

Ugh. Sonic Free Riders... I'm a big fan of the Sonic Riders games, but that one was terrible. The Kinect rarely registered my movements and they were too lazy to put cutscenes in the game. That's also the first time I heard Shadow's terrible new voice. Bad memories of that.
 
I have quite a few. Most I'll finish someday while others... yeah, probably not.

3DS:
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D

Wii U:
Hyrule Warriors (Can you technically "finish" this game? I don't know)
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD

Playstation 3/4:
Alien: Isolation
Assassin's Creed
Call of Duty: Black Ops II (lol never going to finish)
Infamous
Injustice: Gods Among Us
Little Big Planet
Mirror's Edge
Resident Evil 5
The Evil Within
 
Games I never finished:

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse (Stuck on 6-2)
Endless Ocean (Really?)
Rabbids Go Home (Clipped through the floor)
Drawn to Life (Same reason as the RGH)
Halo (Donut was dead)
Link's Awakening Deluxe (WHEEEEERE IS IT!? >:U)
Gold (Sucky battery and it's also lost)
Mario Galaxy 2 (Impossible for me)
 
I've abandoned so many games mid-playthrough, it's absolutely ridiculous. A lot of them are PS1 RPG classics that I'd wanted to revisit, despite having beat them years and years ago, to see how my perspective has changed regarding the story and characters... but half the time I end up just asking myself, "How did I put up with this [horrible battle system, clunky controls, etc] when I was younger???" and I put it down. I'm always intent on coming back to it later, but by the time I want to pick it up again I've grown detached and the only solution would be to start over from scratch. What a pain.

I've done this with Final Fantasy IX, Okage: Shadow King, Star Ocean 2, the Tomb Raider reboot (2014) and Chrono Cross this year alone before settling in with things like New Leaf and various Dragon Age games. I think I tried replaying Dishonored as well but gave up on it, since I originally played it on console and trying the replay on PC is so... so weird. I'm not a PC gamer at all really, unless it comes to MMOs, and I'm too cheap to go pick up a controller or whatever so there you have it :p

I have FE:A sitting on the shelf behind me but I haven't cracked it open yet! Looking forward to it though. Hopefully I'll see that one through to the end.

I dunno if you have either of them but regular Xbox 360 and PS3 controllers work with a PC.
- Xbox 360 controllers 'should' just plug in and play.
- PS3 controllers work but you need to download free software for it (since they're not really 'intended' to do this).

I'm sure every other controller will work with some sort of work around but I pretty much tend to stick with my PS3 controller for PC, so I wouldn't really know.
 
hmm. I don't have many that I actually own, really. which feels kinda odd. lol

Final Fantasy X-2 - I am actually pretty okay with this game. ooooooh plot twist! but I'm stuck on it. I won't get the good ending anyway, I don't like that that game has that kinda thing going on with it. too much dumb side junk I'd have to push through and I'm too lazy for it. I'd like to finish it someday...

both Trauma Center games for the DS - just too hard for me to progress any further. I try and I try, and I try until my hands/arms are tired. it sucks. I wish I could complete them for myself, but it's never going to happen. I only started playing the second sooner because I was stuck on the first. but then I also just got stuck on the second. meh. a shame because I love and adore the series. >:

I guess there's also the 2 games I'm replaying. but in those cases, it's FFIV and Tales of Symphonia and I've just currently lost motivation. they'll be picked up again someday.

there's also one game that I used to own that I never finished being...

Sonic Heroes - I just couldn't get all the chaos emeralds. I don't know. I guess I was just horrendously bad at the special stages. oh well, whatever. since that was like, 10 years ago... well. LOL
 
Assassin's Creed 4 and Watch_Dogs... Mainly because my PlayStation broke, but now that it's working I really have the sudden urge to play them right now....

I had Drawn to Life but I ended up selling it when I couldn't solve a puzzle... Oops
