Do you have any games that you like but you never finished for any reason? Which game is it? Doesn't matter how many times you play and replay it you just never get to see the credits roll. I think Skyrim gonna be a quite common answer xD

Suikoden 1 and 3. My first exposure to the series was Suikoden 2 and I absolutely adored it.

Suikoden 3 was on the next Playstation console and the combination of not yet mature emulators and insufficient PC hardware made it too painfully slow to continue playing much past the first chapter of one character. On the other hand, getting the appropriate PlayStation console, a compatible TV screen and a physical copy of the game would have required braving the wilds of ebay and paying an exorbitant amount of money. I once checked for just the game itself when a flatmate had a PS3 or PS4, but the only offers I found were in triple digits dollars.

Suikoden 1 I got pretty far a bunch of times, but it's quite a long game and so far life interrupted before I was finished every time I picked it up again. By the time I would return to it, I'd have forgotten where I am in the story or lost the save.


Minecraft is another one, if finishing it is a thing. I just always burned off my interest in it before I reached a state where I was happy/satisfied with what I had achieved. Part of it is that I hate grinding but creative mode is simultaneously pointless and not powerful enough for me (creative inventory in particular).
