The legend of Zelda Twilight princess.

I finished the last dungeon, collected all the extra stuff and every side quest I could find. I literally got right up to the lead up to the final Gannon fight... Then I was like "meh, I'm done".

i do this all the time. when i get close to finishing the game, i HAVE to go do all the side quests i neglected to finish along the way. Then i get burned out and beforei do the final boss... But my SO has similar video game tastes as me, so i end up just watching him do the final boss on his save hahaha

The one that still pains me to this day is Black Mesa.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, I even played it before the last chapter was done. I was really excited to go through the redesigned Xen levels, and was enjoying every minute.

Then they throw that massive spider into a huge arena filled with micro obstacles that prevent you from properly avoid all the multiple types of attacks it throws at you, while absorbing insane amounts of rockets.

I'm not a skilled gamer but I was moving through the game just fine until someone decided to crank the difficulty to eleven.

That killed the game right there for me. Other than that, it's a brilliant game that I heartily recommend.

Dying light

I've never finished even half of Final Fantasy 6. That game is fucking long. It's the only game I actually like that I have never beaten.

Well, and Nethack without cheating.

Wolfenstein: The New Colossus.

Just doesn't hold my interest the way The New Order did, the stealth seems to be a lot worse and buggy which makes it hard to avoid enemy reinforcements from being summoned, and while the suit is cool that you get, the lowered max health makes the game a lot more frustrating. I've beat The New Order twice, I still have yet to beat The New Colossus.

Okami. Don't know where I have to go. Still thinking about starting over.

I mostly play roguelikes, which is to say there's a lot of games I haven't finished and have a great time with.

The last big title I played that was really enjoyable for the first half was unicorn overlord. And I even played through the first half of a couple of times. After that micromanaging the units gets annoying, so I put it down and haven't picked it back up.

That's the last game I really enjoyed that I didn't finish. But I like to buy games on sale and check them out, partially because I have an interest in-game design and game theory. So even if I only play a game for a few hours, if I get it for cheap I'm still pretty satisfied.

There were some critical items that were near impossible to find without a guide.

Yeah, Back when I was a kid we used to roam those point and click adventures a lot. We'd get stuck all the times. Sometimes a friend would have an idea and we'd make some progress. But the internet was slow and we still had dialup. I guess there weren't that much walkthroughs available. At least not in the parts of the internet I knew my way around... Yeah, and English is my second language. So information was kinda scarce antways, before I learned the main language of the internet in school... Everything developed and now I have everything available. I even have those old games sitting on an SD card on a Raspberry Pi and waiting for me. I really should finish that game at some point. On the flipside, I'm an adult now and it's difficult to find the time to play point and click adventures all day long 😆

And regarding the items: I tried ManiacMansion, which I believe is included in DOTT. That's properly impossible without an expert at your side.

Tears of the Kingdom. It took a few years to finish BotW though. I kept putting it down for various reasons.

Baldurs Gate 3, The Witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption 2 and many more. These games are all great and I liked them. But sooner or later I just stop playing. I can't even tell why. Maybe I am not a story gamer or the world's are a bit to big.

Been meaning to go back and finish Subnautica. I had a good time with it but one sea moth got destroyed bc I couldn't find the zap key in time and I got ejected from another when it was really deep and couldn't go back down and get it without collecting more resources.

I enjoyed the game but I wish it was like 10% easier with QoL improvements, like having a bigger inventory, your ship respawns, etc.

[–] Deconceptualist@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

I highly recommend giving Subnautica another shot. It quickly became one of my all-time favorites. The devs have gone back and made improvements and even brought some buildables and minor features from Below Zero into the original game. It's not perfect and you could still potentially lose a seamoth to a bug but I was able to finish it on hardcore mode (one death erases your save) if that tells you anything about stability.

Unfortunately Stardew Valley. But now I don't have much time and I lost my save file, so I would have to start all over again.
