Careless
The opposite of One More Turn... basically, you played to finish and then didn't really play again... or you play it in a lackadaisical fashion, not really bothering to do anything (story missions or sidequests) other than mildly entertaining random crap.
For me: games like GTA, Dead Rising, Halo, Fable (auto-save renders OMT ineffectual), Chain of Memories, Dirge of Cerberus
Jack: How do you know?
Will: It's more of a feeling really.
Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?
Will: No.
If Demolition Man were remade today
Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
Huxley: NO!
Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
Huxley: You need to leave, John.
Spartan: But Huxley.
Huxley: Get out!
Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.
By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
This is why I hate ordering my backlog, because you inevitably play a game solely for the sake of beating it.
The first F.E.A.R. was like that. I appreciated what it did for shooters at the time, but I really just wanted to finish the thing and get to the more fluid and varied F.E.A.R. 2.
I felt this way about Final Fantasy XIII, but after a while of reflection, I could see myself playing it again.
And most recently, Morrowind. I appreciate the setting and story, but strictly as a game it just wasn't any fun to play. It's not just things tied to graphics, either, like the clunky combat. It was a lot of intangibles, too, like dungeon design and quest progression. None of the quests had those "Random Epic Moments" that Oblivion had. It was always just talking to people or beating someone up.
The original Assassin's Creed. Awful game I rushed through just to see the story with Desmond. D: I never finished FFXIII or Fable III. There's definitely more but I can't remember them off hand.
AC1, FF13.

Most games I play actually. xD I'm not big into 100%'ing games. I've got too many other games to play to have time for that.
Most recently probably Oblivion because I just blitzed right through the main quest and called it good. The character design and general setting bugs me too much to do anything further. Someday I'll go back and do Shivering Isles.
Actually most of the RPGs I play fall under this category.

The only quest in Oblivion that had anything remotely like that was the one to stop the Daedric Siege Engine. Everything else was exactly what you describe, it was just given by inbred idiots rather than living gods. The important moments in Morrowind come from discovery through exploration and reading though, not OMG EPIC FITE, so...
I'm not so sure about that. In Bravil, I entered a mage's dreams to help him overcome his insecurities. I infiltrated the White Gold Tower through the sewers and Ayleid ruins underneath, then pretended I was Celia Camoran so the blind monks would give me an Elder Scroll. At the Imperial Waterfront, I went to sleep at the Bloated Float Inn only to awake and find it hijacked by bandits and stranded in the middle of the ocean.
I'm not saying quests like these aren't in Morrowind, but I didn't see any in my 44+ hours of playing it.
either I love something or don't really care at all. so I don't bother playing games I don't love
Final Fantasy games and pokemon fall into this category.
Hell, I hardly ever finish a game of XII I start, and pokemon is just a time sink.
Purely apathetic for the both of them.
Eyyyyyyyyyyyyy
FFIX and FFXI. I mean, I could be much further into both games with how much time I spent on them, but I just can't/couldn't push myself to do it. Nothing kept a hold on me. Suikoden (the first one), too. I'm sure there are a bunch of others. Resistance 3 fits into this as well, Danielle and I keep listing it amongst our "games we could play" and never played it past the early stages.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
I've yet to actually complete FFXII.
LA Noire.
Smurfed up an interrogation. Hit restart, took me right back to the start of the investigation losing about 6 hours of gameplay.
Turned it off. Haven't touched it since.
Sounds like what I would do if that happened.
