    I also never finished:

    East India Company (yawn)
    Empire TW (yaaawn)
    Assassin's Creed (great but started to yawn towards the end)
    frogbeastegg's TWS2 guide....it's here!

    Come to the Throne Room to play multiplayer hotseat campaigns and RPGs in M2TW.

    The most shameful one is Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It was hard but I'll try again soon.

    Off the top of my head...

    Super Smash TV (difficulty too hard)
    Final Fantasy VIII (quit somewhere in Disk 1, didn't like it)
    Xenogears (set aside due to a new game I started playing; still have save file; plan to finish eventually)
    Final Fantasy XII (same as above)
    Final Fantasy XIII (borrowed the game, returned, plan to reborrow)
    LaPucelle Tactics (lost track of game mechanics, have to replay from beginning)
    Persona 3:FES (took a brake but invested too much in it not to finish; 100+ hrs already)
    Valkyria Chronicles (plan to finish, just busy at the moment)
    Okami (same as above)
    Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? (took a break)
    Diablo II
    Age of Empires II campaign
    Call of Duty: Black Ops (didn't like it in general compared to CoD:MW 2 so returned it before I could finish the campaign)

    Grand Theft Auto, too long for me, and Oblivion. Started them but couldn't finish them.

    I finished at least a campaign in each TW game.
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Assassin's creed I and III - I liked them all, but loved the second one.
    Arcania - Gothic 4 - I've played Ultima, and this is a cheap knock off. I can say that after playing 19 hours of it and having no interest in finishing it.
    Napoleon TW- That game was a piece of over-priced crap.

    I never really finish Games, I play them in open ended/ sandbox ways. I've always been unsatisfied with game endings, so I'd rather not see them.

    I never finished Assassin's Creed either, it got old quick. They make these intricately detailed, alive-feeling cities...and then give you nothing to do in them but the same 4 or 5 mini-games.

    They nailed Assassin's Creed II, though. It was freaking great.

    The Assasin's Creed games completely fall apart when you get caught, instead of being forced into a game of cat and mouse you can take out anything with ease

    I am incredibly dissapointed in you guys! Not finishing a campaign in M2TW, not beating the masterpiece of Far Cry 2, not finishing AC1, Battle for Middle-Earth, Rise of Nations, Bad Company 2, OBLIVION, Fallouts 2 and 3, Black and White 2, MORROWIND (Seriously, how can you not beat this game? It's amazing).

    I mean come on guys. You're robbing yourself of some seriously awesome games here. I'll admit I don't play most of them anymore, but that's because I beat them (some of them multiple times) and don't want to do the same stuff again, or just wanna move on to a new game.


    As for me, the only games I never completed were on PS2, way back years ago. From my best memory, these are the ones I haven't completed. But don't think bad of me for it, because I think at the time Spyro the Dragon came out, I was about 3. And I'm sure we all know how very dedicated to completion of games 3 year olds are.

    Incomplete games:

    Kingdom Hearts 1 (I just could not beat one of the last bosses on the island. The big giant black one that wont let you fight with your team)
    Spyro the Dragon (3 years old)
    Spyro 2 (I think so at least. A bit fuzzy really)
    The Mummy
    Donald Duck Goin Quackers (I actually might finish this soon, since I just found it again)
    Never beat the New Vegas campaign if you side with Mr. House. Beat the other two though.
    Haven't yet beat Dead Space, though I'm getting close
    Imperium Romanum and
    Grand Ages: Rome (these two games were basically clones, though I didn't realize it until I bought the second one. They are horribly slow, boring, and over-complicated games)
    The Guild 2 (I think I always got to a point where I had so much money and businesses that I was robbing caravans, taking their supplies, giving them to my businesses, and selling what the business made for a much greater profit)
    Settlers: Rise of an Empire (Just too slow for me, always ended up same result anyway; turtle til I get a few units, then kill everything else)
    Stronghold Crusader (Was too young, didn't really make sense)
    Resistance: Fall of Man (waaaaaaaaaay too hard)
    Viking: Battle for Asgard (I think I got frustrated and quit)

    Like others, there are so many more I haven't finished than have.

    The first game I ever finished was was Ultima IV. I was so thrilled, I left the ending screen up all day. Periodically, I'd go back into the den, re-read the screen, thrust my fisted hands into the air, make large-crowd-cheering noise and then run down the hall, arms up and "cheering" in a sort of victory jog. I was about 27 years old at the time. I don't remember what my wife's reaction was, but I'm sure she was glad the neighbors couldn't see in our apartment.

    Those that I remember finishing:

    Ultima IV
    Doom 3
    Mercenaries
    Temple of Elemental Evil
    Starcraft & Brood Wars

    Mostly (old) console games. I generally am able to finish all the PC games I play because I don't play many. However, I still haven't finished GTA IV, not because of the bug but because the damn final mission is so hard. I can't navigate the helicopter well enough through the city while keeping up with Pegorino/Dmitri.

    Mafia- I honestly want to know why people liked this game. Sure the story and music were great, but the gameplay was awful. Friendly AI was idiotic and often died, resulting in an automatic game-over, the pointless car stealing quests were just pointless padding, and the terrible driving, which took up about 85% of the gameplay, was BORING. Nothing happens during the driving sections. You drive in silence except for the repetitive music.
    Requesting suggestions for new sig.
