The "Volume change" was something I instantly saw through as the volume bar was different ;)
That game was REALLY hard to crack. This was before the internet and the only way to get through a tough spot was to call their Hint Line for $$$. I got 80% through and gave up.
FF13, Even though it just came out, i lost steam in playing it due to being preoccupied.
Guild Wars, my character is old as the hills from tyria, still havent finished any full games on this, need a good guild.
My other excuse was having to drag out the disc to play. The most recent patch I know about removes the CD check so that excuse is gone. :)
Not to change the subject but games I regret not ever playing: Half-life (Liked the demo), HL2 (Still have no clue what evil things Steam will do to the computer), The Turok game that came out a couple years ago (a 3D game without dinosaurs is like a car without a prime mover)..and I still have a coupon for Dirt 2 that remains unused (see Steam comment).
I regret not finishing the two NWN2 expansions... Buuuut I've just restarted the OC with a Lawful Good female Air Gensai Fighter, so I'll probably move onto MotB with her followed by SoZ.
You do realize that when it was released Metroid Prime had arguably the best graphics of ANY console game ever made before it? Gamecube hardware was awesome and as for "long, confusing" exploration, welcome to a Metroid game. /end residual Gamecube fanboy rant. :D
As far as games I regret not finishing I would have to say Hungry Hungry Hippos. One day I got it out and set up the whole thing only to find that my save file had tragically become corrupted. I never had strength to recover from the heartbreak and start over. :bawling:
p.s. Octavarium > A Change of Seasons :p
-Super Mario Galexy I technically beat but my little sister flipped the power during the credits.
-Breath of Fire 3: This was my favorite game as a kid (5-7) and I cant remember how many times i rented that and hid it from my parents when it was time to give it back. However, I was young and sucked at RPG's. I hope to find it again and finish it though.
-Legend of Dragoon: Plain and simple; That crystal boss thing is one annoying (am i allowed to use profanity on forums?)
-Sword of Mana (for the GBA): Im still currently working on this game but its incredibly frustrating that there is almost no way to truly know what the hell your supposed to do.
-Legend of Mana: Great game, but i found that the story (if there was one) was a little lacking. I loved the gameplay but the PS disk we had was scratched to all hell and it froze every 10 minutes.
-Turok (N64): This was one of the best N64 games ive ever played as a kid and even now. I only personally know one person who ever beat this game without cheating.
-Ur-Quan Masters/Starcon II: This game was incredibly frustrating to play and i wasted a good portion of my life just to get through it (there must be like 10 000 random unimportant solar systems). I dont exactly remember why i stopped playing it but i do remember that I was on my way to fight the Ur-Quan mothership (or whatever that was).
On a different note, im glad to say that Ive just beaten Final Fantasy Tactics for the PS and it was one of my favorite PS games ever! That last boss fight was ridiculously easy compared to fighting that white caped guy (what was his name again?) and Dycedarg.
Dead Space I had to give back to the friend it was on loan from.
Metroid Prime 2 had me stuck at one of the bosses for so long that I'm still afraid to try.
Killzone 2 which suffered from generation changing graphics but terrible game play. This is also the case for Unreal 2
Overlord and Assassin's Creed are unfortunately never finished and just gathering dust.
Lastly Supreme Commander for 360, PC version is great but my comp can't handle it 360 is too difficult due to crappy radial menus DAMN THOSE RADIAL MENUS I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!
I haven't beat Half Life either. Always lost my save games to reformatting. I think I might have mentioned that earlier in this thread though o_O
I got bored a few hours in, I hate having to sleep everytime I have to cast a spell. lol. Sad thing is I think I bought the expansion pack as well. One of these days I really have to dedicate a long weekend finishing all these games I have.
