For me:
-
Breath of the Wild: 400 hours in, have done only 50% of the game. But now that TotK is out, I’m not sure if I’ll ever complete BotW. Perhaps if I’m stuck on a deserted island with my Switch and have nothing better to do, I may pick it up again.
-
Skyrim: Countless hours, never really done much of the main storyline, always get lost in modding and optimising the game. Own it on practically all platforms too. But one of these days, I’ll get to the main quest…
-
Dangerous Dave: Been playing this DOS game on and off since 1990 but still haven’t managed to beat it. I always die around level 6/7, blasted sun keeps killing me.
Does EVE online count? 1k+ hours, only dipped my toes into null sec a few times. Mostly spent in low sec blowing up expensive things.
I loved that game pre family, will never have time to go back to any game in that way until retirement. I also low key miss Dust 514.
Yeeees… I wish something more came out of Dust 414, such a neat idea.
Terraria. I am like 100 hours in and I don’t even know where all that time went. Also Factorio. That game had me waking up after late night sessions being like “who built all this?” :P
Edit: Oh and also Subnautica. Love subnautica, but after I got the cyclops and did some exploring I felt satisfied and haven’t looked back. And Satisfactory, very fun. Got the little dune buggy and was just like “Welp, I’m gonna go play something else!”
I had to stop playing factorio, biggest time sink I’ve ever seen, I swear I’d look up from the screen and a week past before I noticed
Factorio legitimately puts me into a factory building fugue state where I’m questioning whether or not someone hacked my computer last night and put a bunch of solar panels on my base O_O
Does Terraria even have a quest or ending?
Rimworld. The game has an end, but it really isn’t worth getting to. The journey is the best part.
Only gotten the archo ending once. Never ever have gotten either the ship or royalty endings. Almost 3k hours in.
Witcher 3, Oblivion and Skyrim. I always get caught up doing the sidequests. And I don’t even play around with mods (yet).
I have kids and am middle aged, so I can only do main quests in the limited free time I have. It has its pluses and minuses, but I miss that period between 15 and 22 when I could dedicate all my weekends and evenings to gaming
Yeah, I miss that period too. But I’m a completionist, so even without having the time on weekends and evenings, I still go out exploring the map and doing sidequests. That’s why I don’t finish those games…
Rimworld and Skyrim.
Skyrim, same reason as everyone, I’ve finished most guilds though (yeah, not you, Companions).
Rimworld I just can’t be arsed to work towards any of the endings, playing thematic colonies with mods is where it’s at for me.
Steam tells me I’ve played ~100 hours of Monster Hunter World and I didn’t even finish the story of that.
I’ve got around 1000hrs combined in the Big Ant cricket games (Don Bradman, Ashes, Cricket 19, etc) and I know they can’t strictly be completed I have almost no trophies from any of them. I just fucking love batting for days and days.
I’ve played every historical Total War game up to Attila, and I’ve only ever beaten the campaign on Shogun 2 and it’s DLC Fall of the Samurai. I always get tired of the faction I’m using and restart as another one in the early-mid campaign of the other games.
Stellaris because I keep getting wiped out.
#OxygenNotIncluded, I’ve got 1500 hours in it and I still haven’t gotten to oil, let alone launched a rocket.
Chrono Trigger
You’ve never beaten it? In what sense, like never seen the ending or haven’t seen any of the 21 endings?
Yes

Thinking about it, I rarely finish games, even when I love them.

Classic roguelikes. Been playing Nethack for about 20 years, Crawl (DCSS) about 10 and Brogue more recently. Have yet to ascend in any of them.
