After 11 Years...

I don't expect much, but I can admit that I have an addiction.

My brother is far worse at this then I am. I swear, the only games he's EVER finished are the Pokemon games.

As for me
Fire Emblem (the first GC one) - I love this game, but for some reason, once I get onto the island and get Jafar to join me, I always stop playing it. Then I start over from the beginning, and stop there again.

Pool of Radiance - Ruins of Myth Drannor - This game was one of my first D&D style games, a Diablo knock off, before I knew what Diablo was. I must have played the game for days on end, but could never get through the massive, underground city. At the time there were no walkthroughs available online, and even today, I've never found anything that actually helps.

EDIT to ADD Dark Cloud - Very similar to Prpl_Mages experience with the sequel, I could not ever beat the Divine Beast. I never understood the leveling system. A year or so later I tried again, and I did understand, but I got so involved in it, that when I realized that my sword was not the right PATH to the ultimate weapon. I quit and started again, a few months later. After almost 200hrs of gameplay, maxing out ALL characters final, ultimate weapons, I fought the boss, won, and never did finish the extra, 100 floor dungeon.

Final Fantasy 8 on - I have never finished any... cause they all suck. Square Enix needs to go out of business. Emo kids as their main chars, lame stories, and ANNOYING characters. Especially Yuna. Whoever did the voice work for her in FFX needs to die. Do you really need 5 minutes before each SYLLABLE? I..(5mins).. am...(5mins)....Yu...(5mins).... Na.
Mind you, I hated 7 too, but at least I forced myself to complete it.

What about getting a real gameboy? ;]

I own one, but didn't bring it with me when I moved out of the house. Only so much room in the van and all that. Don't really regret it too even in light of this discussion. Thing was becoming a major battery eater as it aged.

There are tons and tons of games I've never completed. I never completed any of the new Prince of Persia games because I kept losing interest. Never completed Steambot Chronicles, Star Ocean TTEOT, Final Fantasy ___, etc. I think the first game I ever completed was Metal Slug 3... Zombie alien clones... But my problem is that I tend to get a new game and become distracted by that... I'm getting close to completing Shadow of the Colossus though... Wish me luck!

Interesting, I can't get myself to complete Platform shooters such as Metal Slug, Contra, bunch of old games for the snes and gameboy and even some Metroid games. And FPSs of course. They either make 'em too realistic or ridiculously easy. And harder enemies mostly means that they have more HP and deals more damage. Which tends to get stale.
I have no problem sitting with the same ATB system for 70 hours though...

Yeah, Pols Voice! What the hell!? How is any normal kid supposed to decipher that meaning!? XD

The first non-3D Zelda game I played was Oracle of Seasons, which outright stated that the bunny things are called Pols' Voices. I also knew what all of the Zelda enemies were called through owning strategy guides to OoT and WW, so if I ever played whatever Zelda game you're talking about, I could cinch it. These days though, everyone knows what enemy a Stalfos is, probably due to that one line during the Poacher's Saw quest.

You mean the first GBA one released outside Japan. It's actually the second GBA game, but it takes place chronologically before the first one, which was never exported.
It's my favourite in the series. I can't believe you've never passed the Dread Isle. The story just gets so much better after that. The ending almost made me cry. Amazing game, very emotional.

I just lose interest for some reason. I did mean the first GBA one released in America. I think the problem is I never want to let a character die, and I want to get ALL the characters, and I keep losing someone or missing someone at some point and start over, then get sick of the level and start a new game.
