What Adventure Game DIDN'T You Finish?

Zlatko · 09-25-2006, 02:45 PM

For me...i have to admit that there is one game that i have no finished after buying it

Grim Fandango...

*ducks for cover*

I installed the game on 3 seperate occassions and just got stuck at a certain part and got so frustrated that i uninstalled it, and this is even with a walkthru mind you...

I feel so ashamed

Myst

artwking4 · 09-25-2006, 03:39 PM

I never finished Myst, of course. No surprise there, I suppose.

Or the original Discworld (I wanted to, but the puzzles were completely illogical, and I couldn't bring myself to finish it with a walkthrough even).

I also never finished Syberia. That was last year, so the wounds are still fresh. I got as far as the University and said "ENOUGH!!!" Beautiful does not necessarily translate to good fun. The pace was too slow, and there was very little interactivity. Kate Walker runs like she's in Chariots of Fire.

For some reason I bought Forever Worlds and didn't even get to play it for twenty minutes before realizing it was complete trash.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

What can I say, I got fed up with all the fighting.

Oh, and Discworld Noir, it wasn't adventurey enough for me and I got bored.

RLacey · 09-25-2006, 03:46 PM

Myst and The Moment of Silence.

Pinion · 09-25-2006, 03:48 PM

I'll be honest and say there are several I haven't finished but re: Lucas games, I haven't finished Full Throttle...yet.

Sometimes I wonder if I like collecting games more than finishing them, is that a crime?

Myst and Quest for Glory IV (CD). QF4 was partly due to bugs, and Myst was well... because it's Myst.

Bad mojo- just couldn't get the hand of moving the roach around- didnt think it was exactly adventure.
Also gave upon Forever Worlds-it was just too bad. I mean, really bad.

Myst

...I didnt like the game so I couldnt be bothered to finish it...or basically start it

Captain Blondebeard · 09-25-2006, 07:33 PM

Took 3 attempts to finish MI4 and Discworld 1.

Skye · 09-25-2006, 07:34 PM

Rama - all that strange math and of course the timed puzzles which I absolutely hate!

stinking_dylan · 09-25-2006, 11:03 PM

Moment of silence, just wasn't in the mood.
Broken Sword 1, found most of the puzzles being in the vein of talking, re-talking and re-re-talking to characters, and the lead was annoying.
Schizm, boring.

Spikey · 09-25-2006, 11:22 PM

Myst, for one.

I also had a Monkey Island Collection (the rare Australian one) that not only did I never play, I never opened! Too many Sierra games to play back then, I guess.

Discworld Noir also, and Dr Brain 4 (although that's not really an 'adventure game'). I'm sure there's more too. Inca, Kyrandia 2, also.

Jobabob · 09-26-2006, 12:52 AM

Lol at all the Myst lovers here

Riven for me, i'm suprised I ever finished Myst
Still Life, I just couldnt get into the game, I'll try again someday though
Feeble Files, however 'fun' the game may turn out, the interface is so bad it detracts from my enjoyment considerably

Kurufinwe · 09-26-2006, 01:10 AM

One of the few games I could never bring myself to play for more than a couple of hours was Schizm 2 (Chameleon). The way the camera kept following the pointer made it very difficult to manipulate all the various machines, and I just gave up (Myst 3 handled this much better, allowing the player to switch between a "movement mode" and an "interaction mode" (the latter with a fixed camera)).

I've never really finished Maupiti Island either, but that's really no big loss.

kostas · 09-26-2006, 01:32 AM

Post Mortem...

I really tried to look past the problems but it was impossible

Jelena · 09-26-2006, 02:07 AM

I still have Sentinel installed on my computer and I intend to finish it, but it seems there's always a more interesting game to start. Sentinel is all about puzzles and earlier I had my days when I really just wanted logic thinking. For the moment I enjoy stories. So, it's not (yet) finished.
