There's plenty of stuff in this forum about many and stuff about what have you finished and hated but what games you still like and seems awesome even you have not finished.

For me it is prob Assassins creed IV. It seems to get boring but it still is fun.

You know those games where you think that "best game ever" even they are not but process is the most fun part.

The Witcher: I started playing it, but then I went on vacation and when I got back I couldn't get back into it. Consequentially I haven't even started playing the second game.

Mirror's Edge: I can see why people like it and the first few times I played it I really liked the visuals and the concept, but after a few hours I got bored of it.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines: I don't even have en explanation here. I love the atmosphere and for it's age the game plays very well. I don't know why I never finished it.

Shadow Warrior (2013): I got to a part where I kept dying, but I'm too stubborn to turn the difficulty down.

Serious Sam: The second encounter: I played the first Serious Sam and loved it. The second is more of the same with even more content. No particular reason I stopped.

Fallout 3: It's good, but never really appealed to me enough to finish it. I should start New Vegas which I'm told is better (should probably even try the old ones).

Space Quest II: Bet you didn't expect this one! Admittedly this game is before my time, but I really enjoyed the first one and after finishing the first one I attempted the second. It has attitude and will not be kind, but If the player is willing enough to endure it you get a classic Sierra game experience. I lack the will, as the game is very mean. :p


Hopefully writing all of that will force me to play some of those to completion. :)
Arcanum: Quite a fun game. I started it, got a fair bit through it (I figure over half way), then got sidetracked with some other games. Never did get around to going back to it and now I don't know if I will. I can't imagine starting up where I left off, since I have no idea where I'm at or what I've done, and I don't really dig the thought of starting all over gain. Maybe one day though.

Hotline Miami: I actually don't like the game, but for what it is, I'd recommend it to anyone that enjoys this style of game. It's well done, just not for me.

Darksiders: Another one I set aside while I started something else, fully meaning to get back to it. But I never did. A pretty decent ARPG though, and one I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. I hope to get back to it again some day, but not sure if that's really in the cards.
Far too many to list. I've said this elsewhere, but while I love games, I rarely beat them because I'm no good at them. Not to say I haven't beaten plenty of games I recommend, but games like Fallout 2 and Xenoblade I love and easily recommend, but never beat. Not that I don't plan to beat them, just that as of yet I have not.
A quick list of some, though:
The two above
Last Story
Any Tales game
Any Final Fantasy I play
Wolfenstein 3D
Wind Waker, The Legend of Zelda (I have beaten Zelda games, just not this one)
Metroid Prime 2 (ditto)
Serious Sam
Rome: Total War (I've beaten campaigns in Medieval II, but not this)
Arcanum
and many more.

Hopefully yes but more than that it gave you a lot's of humanity points. Great reply.

At least for me there are plenty of games (and this) where I suddenly thought that Risen 1 was greatest game of all times when I haven't finished it.. it almost was.

Apok: The Witcher: I started playing it, but then I went on vacation and when I got back I couldn't get back into it. Consequentially I haven't even started playing the second game.
IMO: The second one has much better gameplay (though a somewhat weaker storyline than the first). The second one also manages not to spoil much of anything of the mid- to late-game plot of the first. If you couldn't get back into the first because of the game mechanics, I'd highly recommend giving the second game a go.

In my opinion Witcher 1 is better in every sense, second one has too much political baffle. That combat.. how I could like witcher 2 combat because it was so small and linear so i did not even have a chance to understand that mechanics where you had to guess when to drink a potion..

I tried the demo and it seemed great. If i would have the money i would have bought it. It does have some weird controller selections when you heal and other stuff but otherwise seemed really fun game

I agree with the controller issues. Makes it harder to pick the game up after not playing it for a bit.

Fair enough. I really wasn't too keen on the story of the second myself, I just felt that the game's pacing (apart from chapter 3) and gameplay were better. If we could take the gameplay and quest design of TW2 with the story of TW1, I feel like we'd have a really great game rather than two really good games.

Yeah.. you have to remember that combo. =P

also that shooting.. it was not so nice. I liked much more that swordplay which is awesome. Perhaps if i'd play in easy I will slice and dice everyone.. hopefully. Well i played the demo and good demo it was I wasted 2 hours in that and had a good feeling.

Same here, only that in my cases the reasons I let myself get sidetracked by other games were two in the grand scheme minor but to me at the time pretty annoying things:

(1) I wanted to do all the quests, but the solution to some were really obscure and for fear of missing something I felt compelled to check the walkthrough more and more often, event though I don't really like using walkthroughs; and I was also quite pissed on finding out just how obscure the solutions are and how much backtracking and running to and fro they actually require.

(2) I fought my way through a dungeon only to find that the NPC supposed to be at the end was missing. Googled this issue and found out there's no fix for it and I wouldn't be able to talk to this NPC and finish this quest, because supposedly I did install some patch, community fix or mod in the wrong order (even though I thought I had followed the instructions to the letter, but apparantly I was wrong).

These experiences were all the more annoying because trivial as they are, they still kind of spoiled my fun, ruined my playthrough and put me off for long enough that I'd have trouble continuing now, and I had already put 20-30+ hours into it and I hate replaying story-oriented games, so I'll probably never finish Arcanum although I liked it.

Second that. It's one of those games that I've approached many times but never finished. The writing, the world's design and atmosphere are brilliant. It's just that the quest design makes the game incredibly exhausting and eventually I always stop. It's one of those games I'm willing to recommend to some people even though I haven't gotten myself to beat it yet.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN YOU BASTARD!? DON'T EVER LEAVE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN! :D

I'll go Torchlight 2, GTA San Andreas, and all of the Settlers games.
I know we're on GOG and it's a cliché to recommend it, but I'd have to say Planescape: Torment. There's a reason why I haven't finished it, yet: I don't want it to end. I bought it last year because I had missed out on it while growing up (and all the other Infinity Engine Dungeons & Dragons games, as well) and thought this was too good an opportunity to pass on. I don't regret it one bit, at first I was a bit disappointed, because it looked like your standard D&D game, with all the THAC0s and the "perfect builds" and min-maxing and dice rolls for attack and defense -- all boring 'meh' stuff, to me --, but then as the game went on its themes started opening themselves to me and -- my god! -- did the game suddenly became awesome! I've avoided all spoilers I could and I know I'm closing in on the end of the game, hence why I haven't been playing it as much. This is one of those games I'm not ready to replay as soon as I finish, so far it has been my personal experience, with all my human flaws in it, and I don't ever want to replay it "just to exploit the game and see all available outcomes of my choices". I may not be pleased with the ending, but it's my ending, that Nameless One is my Nameless One, carrying my choices, good or bad. I can't recommend this game enough. I know now why it was the second most wanted game on GOG (and, in my humble opinion, it should have been the first, it is so much better than System Shock 2 in any conceivable way).

On a lighter tone, one game I haven't finished yet but highly recommend is Total Overdose: A Gunslinger's Tale In Mexico. This one is just uncompromising good old fun, and I haven't finished it as of now because I can't seem to invest as much time in video games as I did when I was younger, and I have been playing it for short bursts of time, just doing some side missions, blowing stuff up, driving around that gorgeous faux-Mexico landscape and occasionally doing a story mission. If, by any chance, you think of this game as some sort of "poor-man's GTA", trust me, it's not. I can see the resemblances, but there are major differences that make the GTA series and Total Overdose completely different beasts -- I should know, as I don't enjoy the GTA series at all, but I seem to love this one, so, I guess it does at least something differently.
