Kotaku: Piles of shame, by definition, are shameful. But while untouched games in cellophane taunt and beckon , there’s a special circle of torment reserved for the games we started, but didn’t finish. Games we enjoyed, maybe even loved, but abandoned before completion.
It’s too late now! We can’t go back. Too much time has passed… things have changed, we have changed. The world has moved on yet we — a couple of hours shy of resolution — have to live with the fact that we have left an incredible game unfinished. We’ve tarnished a holistic experience and we’re bad bad people.
I may be one of the worst offenders. With too many games and too little time, I start almost every major release yet seldom finish them. Among these hundreds, however, are a handful of games that resonate — games I am genuinely ashamed I gave up on. These are the top five.
The games in Persona series have a problem that they start really great, but halfway through them, I just want to finish them fast. The games are good, I'm playing 4 Golden right now, but there comes a time that I get tired of building the many S. Links and just want to see the end of the plot.
1. Metal Gear Solid 4
2. Borderlands 1 and 2
3. Doom BFG
4 Just Cause

My top 5 games i wish id never finished
1. Mass Effect 3
2. Gears of War 3
3. Uncharted 3
4. Bioshock 2
5. Assassins Creed 3.
I did finish Doom 3 years ago.. with cheats :P That game creeps me out w/o infinite health.
Unreal Tournament 3, I got it for X-Mas/Christmas and never gave it a shot.
I felt guilt not only because I didn't play them, but because these where gifts by my mom and brothers, I never played them in front of them.
But never mind i aint ashamed
Same as Chrono Trigger, did every single Side quest, revived Chrono, went through the Black Fortress, got all the way to Lavos, went in his Shell, killed the Lavos inside it, but never killed him when he split up into those three things. Never finished it.
