Games you Bought and played Once

Hedge · 24 May 2011 at 16:03

I have bought a few games in the past that Ive only actually played on the initial install. Anyone done similar?. Some of these games are well reviewed, yet I simply never felt the desire to continue.

Dragonage 2 -considering ive got 100+ hrs on the first this was annoying

Fallout New Vegas - Attempted it after never getting on with Fallout 3, but
thought it needed a chance, gave it an hour or so... never since.

Metro 2033 - Played for a few hours, enjoyed it a bit, but never actually been back.

Beyond Good and Evil - Think graphics were too dated for me at the time.

Op Flashpoint : Red River - I got it free.. Tried it out... its horrendous. Truely

Civ IV - Just couldnt get my head around it.

Worms Reloaded - Guess the old school appeal is gone for me

Audiosurf. Man, that game was boring.

AWPC · 24 May 2011 at 16:14

Crysis2 - Truly horrible & so uninteresting never been back to it once no interest.

Fallout New Vegas - Poor compared to Fallout3 got fed up with bugs which stopped quests being completable unlikely to ever play again its medicore & boring.

HAWX2 - Looks fantastic in DX11....plays horrible & has exacting missions which mean a few feet in the air out the mission ends you have to backtrack a long way. Poorly thought out save system.

COD BO - Completed once. Uninstalled + deleted all saves etc etc. More QTE than FPS....

All of em pretty much. If it has a storyline I generally hate replaying again. Some of the multiple character based ones aren't so bad.

I once rented Rise of the Robots and felt totally ripped off.

WHAT?! :O How can you not continue this game? I have had the second one for a few years and always got so addicted I played till the end. I recently got the first one last week and I got addicted to that one too. They are sooooo good! At least I think so anyway

Most of my games I have only really got round to getting half way through, but to actually stop playing shortly after install:
Metro 2033
Fallout 3
Half-Life 2
NFS: Shift
Red Faction Guerrilla

I know these games are really good, I just either didn't have time to finish them, or I've just lost the excitement and am not too bothered about them anymore, or got distracted and just never came back. I do intend to finish most of them at some point. I don't play games as often as I used to, probably down to lack of time, but it is something I would like to do. Probably wont ever get round to it though

Crysis 2 and FFXIII are the only ones I can think of for the last few years that I have just been unable to gather any interest in even after hours of "giving it a chance".
