What's your favorite game that you will NEVER finish?
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?
Underrail. I love the game so much but every time I hit the level cap I just lose interest completely. Doesn’t help that the guy developing it is violently opposed to modding.
Factorio. I’m almost at the stage where you can build the launchpad for your rocket, which is technically the end of the game. But the Pyanomod and Space Exploration mods literally add like 1000 hours or more to the game, and I just think I’ll probably be dead or society will collapse before I finish those up. The game is literally infinite if you want it to be.
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
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.
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!
I for sure will never ‘finish’ this game in the way you can finish things like binding of Isaac. I just love to play it for fun and no objectives in mind when I play.
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’.
Over the years, on and off, I’ve put 2k hours into that game, and I’ve never, ever built the ship or helped the High Stellarch or found the Archo Nexus. Never even gotten close. I love building bases and growing colonies, and with all the DLC+mods there’s an endless amount to do, but yeah… doubt I’ll ever actually get to the end.
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.
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.
