It happens to a lot of people. Maybe getting stuck on a level, or it was just to boring to keep playing.

it sometimes happens if a new exciting game comes out you drop everything to play it, i picked up Dead space 2 pretty late and i got maybe a quarter of the way through but then Gears 3 had just come out so... you can see how this story ends.

Dead Rising. Loved it at first, but the novelty wore off really quickly.

The Darkness, Prey and Need for Speed: Most Wanted to name a few. I bought all of them really cheap from an old friend who was selling his Xbox and just never got around to finishing them. Out of the three I'd really like to finish The Darkness but every time I try I just get distracted.

Only Oblivion & TDU2. Oblivion wasn't very fun to me, and TDU2's licences tests became too hard for me.

Didn't IGN have a stat about saying most gamers never finish their games?

EDIT: It drives me nuts if I bought a game and still haven't beat it yet. Rentals, I don't care much. If the game doesn't hook me or is just bad, I will just send it back..

It happens to most, but not to me. I'm very much a completionist and if I don't beat a game, I feel I bought it for nothing unless it's simply a matter of too difficult. That said, there have been a handful: Starcraft (too hard, but I will go back!), Gran Tursimo 4 (was fantastically bored. Would have sold if it didn't go peanuts at every retailer), the real Super Mario Bros. 2 (too hard, won't go back), Lunar Knights (really hated. Sold it), F-Zero GX (too hard. Sold it). I've owned a couple hundred games in my life and those are the only ones that I can recall that I've given up on in some form... A little less than half of the rest are still unfinished, so it's possible others will join these guys' dubious rank.

I have a couple I haven't beaten, but it drives me nuts if I don't. Currently I'm trying to beat Last Remnant...AGAIN! I think I'm on my way to beating it this time around though!

I'd wager there isn't a regular gamer on the planet that has finished every game they've started, for one reason or another.

For me I have to be in a certain mood to play a certain game so often I'll get stuck on a level or just get a new game and be preoccupied with that and later I don't feel like playing the game I put down before.

I have a lot of games like that. Either I get stuck, lose interest, or lose my saves or Achievement progress.

I do this a lot xD. I buy too many games, then I end up playing one of them, and starting another game, and forgetting about it :/

Bayonetta is one of them

I haven't completed most of my 90 PS1 games and I have yet to bet Sonic Heros and the Revenge of the Sith game even though I've had thme since 2005. Also I am a big Sonic fna but I'm not going to lie I've never beat the first Sonic game.

I stop playing when the game gets boring, disappoints me or makes me feel like im forcing myself to continue. Some examples were Star Wars Unleashed (I got bored and irritated with the controls before finishing the first level) and Halo 2 ( game froze on me and didnt enjoy playing it all that much). Honestly if the game isnt fun I put it down.

I very strongly try to finish everything.

A major one I haven't completed yet is Oblivion, and I'm forcing myself to play it.

Just go invisible and run past all the enemies to make it go faster. That's what I had to do at the end to finish it.

That rarely happens to me and whenever it does I just put the game down play a different one and then evantually return to it. Yeah I mostly play games on split screen so that helps finish games. Fragile Moon: Farewell ruins of the moon on the Wii is one. Man I can't get through it simply because the game is pretty sad. Always seems to get me and it definitely captures that lonliness in the world atmosphere.

Anyone ever get that you get real far in a game and then get frustrated as the last few levels or whatever are too hard and so leave the game for a few months then come back and find it really easy and finish it real quick? I do this loads lol.

all the time, i get far to easily distracted by new releases!

i do usually finish things eventually though, if a game hooks me from the start then chances are i wont get distracted from it, but if the game doesnt hook me straight away then i do get easily distracted by something else, even if the original game i was playing was actually good

i will always go back to it eventually though, next time there are no new releases im wanting i will be finishing off Dead Space 2 for example, its been sitting on the shelf waiting to be finished for far to long now!

i complete 99% of the games I start even if they are terrible but there are a few games that where so bad I just couldnt finish them, and the first one that comes to mind is Battlefield 3's single player, got about 30 minutes in, died during a firefight and it loaded like halfway through the level so I had to go through 10 minutes of walking and talking to get back to the firefight so i just quit, can't stand when dumb developers put checkpoints BEFORE a long sequence of talking or having to follow people at a crawling pace.

Venetica - glitchy and boring

Jet Force Gemini - could never get all the tribals :evil:

Dragon Age Origins: Awakening - forgot i had it, need to pick it up again

Read Dead Redemption - got bored

Final Fantasy 13 - too frustrating and wasnt a fan of the combat

Lemme think for a bit....

GTA IV I've been playing for two and a bit years and still haven't completed (it's too fun to do all the campaign missions. Every time I pick it up I just like messing around). I will definitely complete it before GTA V is out hopefully.

I never completed the final boss of Bioshock because I barely had enough ADAM and money left to buy ammo

I also never completed the final mission of Just Cause 1 (on the old Xbox), mainly because it was too hard and I gave up.

The only other game I've not manage to fully complete single player wise is Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, again because the final few races/hot pursuits are too long and time-consuming to bother retrying over and over again.

Other than that I'm usually pretty good at seeing games through all the way to the end.

Quite a few actually. The latest ones were Condemned 2 and Warhammer: BattleMarch. I sold Condemned 2 awhile ago and just haven't picked up Warhammer again. I have too many other games I want to play.
