Games you've spent tons of hours in but never beaten?

[SolemnlyDoc]

Around 200 hours in Skyrim, over 1000 in Minecraft, and 100 or so in Final Fantasy XV.

I love an open world game with a laid-back atmosphere that lets me relax and play at my own pace. I can't say for sure what separates Cyberpunk 2077 from the rest, as even though I have 200 hours in that game, I beat it every time I play. All I know for certain is that a world with good story-telling, simple mechanics, and a vast expanse of unknown to explore will consume hours of my time.

I've never retrieved the horn of Jurgen Windcaller in Skyrim, visited the End in Minecraft, or gone any further than claiming the Power of Kings in FFXV. Yet I complete every side-quest and collectible I can find along the way.

What are the games you've spent the most time in but haven't completed?

Well, I've never beaten Simpsons Hit & Run. Wasn't by lack of try anyway, I did try cheat codes back in the day.

Has to be Mgs Peace walker... 200 hours given only to side ops and special missions but never managed to pull through the last of the story missions. Same with skyrim, and mostly all point and click adventures.. Full throttle, Broken Swords etc. Boot them up and play halfway only to delete em for some reason then boot 4 months later again play the same way only to reach the same point and getting burned up to delete em again yikes :-|

Beating 5-cell difficulty legit is just beyond me, and you need to do it to "really" beat it, but man have I had a good time with this thing over the years

I can barely beat it with 1 Cell, haha. I know why ascension systems exist in roguelites but I can't say I like the arbitrary restrictions they impose.

I was playing it a ton early last year and managed to knock out 4-cell, but the final update added these weird like... plague doctor guys that can show up on levels, and I haven't played much above default difficulty since then. It's nice to just burn an hour doing a run and seeing how it shakes out. :)

My current roguelite go to is Balatro (funny thing is, I don't even like poker as a game, but Balatro is really clever), and the ascension levels are called stakes. I haven't been able to beat White Stake (base diff) yet, haha.

Rimworld, i never build the spaceship, i'd rather just live it out until the colony gets overwhelmed by RNG. Over 2k hours btw.

 

[ThunderBoy]

GTA San Andreas.
Many hours spent on it doing wild things but never got to finish the main story.

 

[Carleigh]

Spelunky HD. Played mostly the multiplayer, but also a ton of singleplayer. Too fun yet too difficult for me.

 

[dr grim]

I'm more a player that enjoy the trip instead of the finale.. so yeah.. too many of em. too too many.

the ones i regret not trying a little more to finish.. Neverwinter Night 1 - 2. Star Ocean ( all of em ) Tales of phantasia, GTA 4, Disgaea..

 

[Sir Auriel of Lionel]

Any GTA title seriously just car jack and drive everywhere and enjoy the radio oh yeah and run over people. Oblivion and Skyrim's main quest, FFXV like you mention. I did that to SO3, FFXII, Shadow Hearts 2, in that I played a lot of hours and then reset the game to relive it before saying goodbye and finishing the title there's more but those are the big three. Unlimited SaGa in I tried every character but I can't get past the leveling system to commit to trying to beat one playthrough.

 

[stealthRUSH]

Tales of Destiny back in 98', stil have my original save file need to finish that one day. Oh and if you count series then .hack on PS2 I've put in tons of hours but never beaten it all.

 

[Cu-Neo]

Skyrim, yesterday started another playthrough, this time as a full Mage and now I think I will complete it (both dragon dogma and Dragon crown made me love playing games as a Mage/sorcerer), another one in the same situation is Kingdom of Amalur, now I'll try playing it as a full mage.

Grim Dawn. Great game, but anytime I got bored I started a new game, and now I have three characters with whom I never finished the game.

What? You guys not finish games? Every time I play a game I end up finish it , its a must do.

Minecraft nor MMOs have a proper ending.

 

[DunkeyKong]

Ratchet and Clank 2016, I did finished it all in easier difficulty, but I'm a bit stuck when I've played the harder difficulty. Achievement wise, I never got platinum

It depends, if you meant by the main story then most of us would finish it. But 100%? That's quite hard

Yeah that's my problem with MMOs every damn time you beat the villain the game goes "wait guess what there is even a bigger and stronger villain" yeah I prefer stories with an ending.

Not exactly 100% just the supposed ending of the game the final mission or zone that gets you to final boss or quest that gets you to credits.

I see, then that depends if the game is worth finishing

7 days to die, though not a true ending, but trying to get the last achievement of reaching lv300. Sunk 400+ hours into it mostly cause a bug deleted my save file 200 hours in. Also Palworld, I actually did beat it, but since they added new stuff, means i have to leave it alone and not play it again. 150 hours on that according to my console stats.

Current games i am working on are: Visions of Mana, My time at Sandrock, Xuan Yuan Sword gate of firament, Sword and Fairy(3d ARPG newish game), and Super Robot Wars OG 1+2 for ps2. I already beat the gba ports, but SO WANT TO FINISH THE SUPERIOR PORT.

I work in the way of "if I start something then I must finish it" mindset

Gundam SEED Destiny Rengou VS ZAFT II Plus

Never played the storylines or arcade much, just kept playing the Free Mode battles and reenact the famous battles in the series and in SRW. Did it whenever I need to destress over the years up to now (started in 2016)

It's my casual game, up there with Gundam VS Zeta Gundam

 

[destinyduelist]

The Binding of Isaac, I've got a couple hundred hours across platforms but I never truly beat it

 

[goregoregoregoregoregore]

I have more than 500 hours playing Quake 1 and never actually played a single mission pack lol.
I have 534 hours in Borderlands 2 and have all the DLC and every time i beat the whole game trying a new build but when it's time to play the DLCs i just get a strong urge to play another run with another build.
Also played FFXV so much but never finished it properly or played the DLCs
