My PIle Of Shame

by jimmyjackjones

I present to you, the Giant Bomb Community, my pile of shame.  This is my list of games that I own that I have yet to even start, or have started but never finished.  Most will fall into the latter category, but Steam is making the former much larger than I would like (that year end sale nearly ruined me).  I'm not including the games that I consider myself to be actively playing now.  No, these are the games I've set down for a minute, said "I'll get back to it soon!", and then let a month slip by before I realize I never did get back to it.  Another important note is that these are all games that I want to finish.  If I start a game and decide I have no interest in completing it, then I don't really think it belongs on this list.  This will be a work in progress, so as I have time and remember more games to put on here, this will be updated from time to time.  Also, if I actually finish a game, it will get removed from the list.  Now without further ado:

Showing 1-10 of 103 items

Dragon Age: Origins

1. Dragon Age: Origins

This game intimidates the crap out of me. I enjoy it when I play it, but I keep hitting moments where the choices freeze me in indecision, the freedom is too overwhelming, or the combat is too frustrating. Yet I still really want to keep going. I don't think I'm all that far in the game, so this may be up here for a while.

Assassin's Creed II

2. Assassin's Creed II

I beat the main game and loved every minute. Then I downloaded the DLC and have yet to touch either episode. Money well spent?

The Saboteur

3. The Saboteur

A more recent addition, as I bought this last month on the cheap from Amazon. I really like the tone of the game. Maybe I'll pick it back up if Red Dead Redemption doesn't give me open world fatigue.

Fallout 3

4. Fallout 3

OK, more DLC woes. Namely the "Broken Steel" pack.

Fable II

5. Fable II

I'm wondering if I should have this on the list. I like Fable II, but I don't feel all that compelled to go finish it. Until I'm sure I'm done with it, it will stay up here, I guess.

Red Faction: Guerrilla

6. Red Faction: Guerrilla

Bought it on sale from Steam. Never installed it. Shame on me.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

7. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Also bought it on Steam. Actually installed this one. Haven't launched it yet. Shame on me again.

Ghostbusters: The Video Game

8. Ghostbusters: The Video Game

Bought this on the cheap from Steam. Installed it. Actually played it for an hour or so. This was in December (2009).

The Witcher

9. The Witcher

I did recently go back and finish the first chapter, and I have every intention of getting back to finish the rest. But I have that intention for every game on this list, so here it stays until I make good on that.

Final Fantasy XII

10. Final Fantasy XII

Someday I will finish this game. Someday. The story is awesome and I really want to see its conclusion. I just have to push past all the grinding that's required in order to do so.
