I hate leaving loose ends, but still there is becoming a sizable pile of games that I started and left by the wayside. There are all sorts of reasons. I got stuck, bored, distracted, busy or occasionally lost the disk. It’s getting to be a disturbing trend. With out further chatter, the games I really should sit down and finish. Well, maybe not sit down and finish some of them, but at least acknowledge the reasons I won’t.
Final Fantasy IV
Made it too the moon only to be destoryed by the fucking Demon wall like 40 times, and my last save is such that I can only go forward into the boss battle. Fucking evil structures.
Star Ocean: Untill the End of Time
I don’t even rememeber why I quit playing this, so I’ll just assume that the game became boring and I decided to do something else or that I saw something shiny and became distracted. Both are likely.
Legend of Legaia
Got stuck on one of the bosses. I don’t recall what his gig was but I rememeber he was some sort of silver knight with a jacked up sword who rocked me several times before I just got frustrated and quit trying. I think this was another scenario where I couldn’t delay the fight to beef up.
Torment
I think I’ve still got this old game installed someplace, waiting for me to come back to it, but man, I just haven’t got time to wander around trying to find that game’s story. I also can’t remember what I was doing when I quit so it might be impossible to start anywhere but the begining.
Devil May Cry
The first copy I picked up was on a defective disk and by the time I got around to grabbing a new copy I’d already beaten two and moved halfway through three. I might go back to this someday, but I’m afraid that it will feel clunky after 3 and 4.
Beyond Good and Evil
I got to the final boss in this, or at least I think it was the final boss, and then shortly after lost the game before completing the final fight. I’ve got no idea how the story plays out. I really do wish I could find that thing, especially with the sequel in the works.
Final Fantasy X-2
Five minutes in I decided that I’d had enough and that I liked the way FFX ended anyway. Happy endings are over-rated. To hell with them!
Final Fantasy 8
Right about the time when the main characters decided to colapse all of time into a singular existance to stop the faceless protaganist from the future from colapsing all of time into a singular existance, I decided that I had had enough of the annoying draw system and whiny characters, and that the story was no longer compelling enough for me to invest more time into it.
Baldurs Gate
Lost 1 of the five disks and could no longer go to certain parts of the world. That game may have been a bit too ambicious, but it paved the way for future action RPGs fantastically.
Patapon
It was cool for a little bit, but I can only endure tapping the same four button combinations in time to the squeaky chanting of armed eye-blob-things for so long.
Earthbound
I’m not sure why I didn’t finish earthbound. I only have good memories of it. It’s probably another of those times where my squirrell-esque attention span dragged me quickly away to something else, leaving the game lost in the back of my mind.
You know what? This is getting me no where, I’m going to go play something so that this incomplete list of incomplete games doesn’t get any longer quite as soon.
So, I’ve now a more full understanding of why little kids are always screeching into their headsets. I dare say they are nearly justified.
Alright so there were and are no vampires. I’m just a damn liar, but I fooled you didn’t I? HA! Alright enough with the undeserved taunting. I don’t really have anything to say, I just need something here to fill the space so I can get an idea of how things look. Or maybe I just like wasting time. Who can say?
