I only really have the one and thats Zelda: Links Awakening on the game boy. I must of been about 6 when I brought it, over the space of about 6-8 years I got quite far until I got lost in the rapids area. Every time I think about that game I die a little:cry: because I know I'm never going back to it, I never want to feel like that about a video game again so I only play games I know I will like and complete.

SE know my pain, thats why they re-released FF8:D

Final Fantasy I, V and VI, Xenosaga Episode I, Metal Gear Solid 3. I'm sure there are others but I can't remember them at the moment.

Breath of Fire IV, especially since it's still on my PS3 right now ready to play. :p

Grandia, because i was basically staring at the entrance to the last dungeon and then i forgot about it for long enough to lose the save file

The original Lufia.Did you play Lufia 2?

Breath of Fire 3, and Final Fantasy 13. But I'll remedy at least one of those.

Yes I did. So I regret not ever getting around to finishing the first.

FFVI. Got stuck in that tower where the boss casts Ultima or some other goo when defeated. It took me out twice and I gave up. There were some other gameplay things I didn't like and I don't think I'll ever start over to finish it.

If you ever get back to it, I warn you it has aged poorly compared to it's sequal, but it's still worth a run. :p

I think this is where I got up to as well, I was quite happily breezing through the game when I got absolutely destroyed by that boss. I moved on to other games and never came back to it, fortunately I rarely sell my games so I can still try it again one day.

Another would be Knights of The Old Republic, I played it for quite a while before buying an entirely new system and the hard drive with that save on isn't compatible with the newer machine and I haven't got around to buying some sort of transfer cable or something to make it compatible. I've tried playing through it again but I just want to carry on from where I left off rather than going through it all again.

Still haven't gotten around to finishing Persona 3. I'm close though. I think I'll play some tonight actually.

Yeah, I do recall the sequel being a much more polished game. It's a lot of fun!

I feel your pain. That is not a game that survives on repeated playthroughs. After I beat it the first time it took effort to just run through the TARIS part to get to the point where the game actually takes off.

I couldn't stomach Final Fantasy XII long enough to where Vaan becomes unimportant to the story. I'M CAPTAIN BASCH gave me too many Tidus flashbacks and I kinda clocked out on the game for a little bit and then lost interest entirely. But I guess it's a pretty good game once Vaan becomes pointless to the plot. So I guess I missed out on one of the last legitimately good Final Fantasy games?

There's also Xenoblade Chronicles, which I was loving, until my girlfriend moved in and poured all sorts of unnecessary hate and whiney'ness towards her distaste of British voice acting, and I got tired of hearing about it every time I fired the game up I quit playing both it and The Last Story. And I recently bought Pandora's Tower just to give Operation Rainfall my love, but I know I won't be playing that game..

Need to finish up Ni No Kuni and Valkyria Chronicles as well

Ico... but I still own it, so it's not like I can't complete it later.

Definitely FFX.

Me too. I plan to rectify this though by buying the HD release for my Vita.

I'm on a bit of a mission at the minute to finish some from yesteryear that I never got round to. Currently making my way through Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

Dragon Quest VI on the DS. I rushed into the game. Planning to start a new file in the near future.

I think I may be about to give up on Heroes of Might & Magic V (again) and the Witcher 2. Nothing against them, just getting kinda burned out if ya know what I mean.

Wild Arms 3, Star Ocean Till, Metal Gear Solid 3, Grandia III... there are plenty of games I own that I haven't completed (among them, Chulips, Tomb Raider, FFT, FF6, FF5, FF4, FF2, FF1, FF3DS, Chrono Trigger, Wild Arms 2), but those four I regret not completing because I sold them. I also never completed the Xenosaga games (I rented them and played each to just near the end).

I'd say that 95% of games I have purchased over my 26 years of earth-living, I have failed to complete. That's a lot of games! I will say that I need to find time to retry Final Fantasy XII though.
