Everybody's got that one turd sitting on their hard drive. What's yours?

[HamburgerBoy]

I rarely uninstall games, so there's probably quite a few. Far Cry 2 is the largest (in terms of both gameplay and disk space consumed) turd.

Batman AA, I don't know, It was OK, but I could never say "hey, I wanna play this now" and whenever I think of uninstalling it, I just think I should finish it 1st just cause everyone says its so good.

I did that with Batman AA, but I don't really think about uninstalling games since I have gobs of space.

I also got tired of having Bioshock unfinished so I sat down and finished it in a day.

 

[Cheesetogo]

I was going to say Bioshock, but apparently I already deleted it.

 

[GoodRevrnd]

Civ 5

I've been saying "this next patch will be the one! I'll finally be able to play it" since the day I installed it. =/

 

[Bateluer]

Civ 5.

I'm unusually fond of that game.

I don't understand how some games are labeled the best game of the year now-a-days. Batman AA was fun but no way that good. Neither was Bioshock or Fallout 3. They are good games but not that good worthy of the praise they get.

 

[DarkKnightDude]

Dead Space 2 and Age of Empires III

Forgot about Fallout 3...yeah, I haven't finished that either.

The last games to really pull me in were Mass Effect 1 and 2.

 

[The Green Bean]

Cities XL.. hopeless game

 

[Powermoloch]

Devil may cry 4

 

[dennilfloss]

I only have one game installed at a time on my computer. Oblivion's been it most of the last few years.

 

[TechAZ]

Starcraft 2 for me. I haven't played 5 minutes of it since it came out. Just don't have the desire. Played the hell out of the 1st for years and bought this because I figured I would eventually get into it....hasn't happened yet.

 

[Lumathix]

Brink.

Haha. Sad but so true

 

[Lumathix]

Cities XL.. hopeless game

This too!

 

[gorcorps]

Mafia 2. I'm at least halfway through, but it's boring at this point. I have the disc space so I'll never delete it. I just can't see myself finishing it with all of the better games around now. There's so many I want to play but I can't find the time for them anymore.

 

[MustangSVT]

just finished singleplayer of bulletstorm. wow.. it was painful to go through the story and cheesefest dialogs.

although the weapons and its secondary weapon system was fun, as well as some huge bosses, the story is just soooo bad. and the lines... barf.

 

[dpodblood]

I don't tend to leave very many games uncompleted. I usually finish every game I start unless it's a total pile of garbage. If we're talking about steam backlogs though, I probably have 100 games I haven't played yet.

I'm a throwback, only 250 GB hard drive. Stuck turds can be particularly painful for me, and a relief to flush.

Especially when your looking at a game like DA:O ultimate edition which takes up over 26 gb of space. That's my next project.

I know it's not a bad game (a great one for some), but I can't get excited about it. In the end, it puts me in the same emotional state that the original campaign of NWN 2 did: This is work, not fun.

 

[frozentundra123456]

Just reformatted my hard drive due to general sluggishness and difficulty connecting to Steam, so it is pretty clean.

I reinstalled Fallout 3, and as much as the reviews praised it, I just couldnt get into it. I thought I was decent at FPS games, but the weapons just seem so weak and you are always running out of ammo. I guess I just dont like the post-apocolyptic setting either.

And I just bought Witcher I from GOG for 5.00 and dont think I will care for that game either.

 

[raasco]

The Witcher, $5 and 30 minutes I will never get back.

HL2 Episode 1, why make a player start at the damn tower again. I know it follows the storyline, but after playing through it for hours in HL2 why waste my time there again. I gave it 20 minutes and skipped to episode 2.

FO3 isn't really an FPS at all. It's more of an RPG that just so happens to be in 1st person. Once you level up your character you won't find the guns overpowered. If anything it will be the opposite.

 

[shortylickens]

I nominate UT3 (Unreal Tournament 3), not because it's bad relative to other modern games that are also consolized, but because of what it could have been and should have been and what it represents--encroaching consolization, the death of any hope for a real sequel to the greatest FPS game of all time (the original UT99), and increasing consolzation of PC games. In the state UT3 was released in, it really was a stillborn turd.

Yeah I played it for a grand total of maybe 4 hours before giving up. Luckily I didnt uninstall UT2004.

As for me: I have about 200 games on Steam, only 50 of which are installed and only 40 of those have ever been played.

 

[NoSoup4You]

My list of turds -

Bad Company 2 single player - it's pretty awful, doubt I'll ever get around to it.
Black Ops single player - see BC2
Dead Rising 2 - haven't actually tried it, been sitting on hdd for awhile now
Dragon Age 2 - 42 hours in, very bored, will finish at some point but no idea when...
Fallout New Vegas - bad graphics, rehashed gameplay, boring.
Mafia 2 - see Dead Rising 2
Neverwinter Nights 2 - 10 hours in, this is not a fun game.
Red Faction: Guerilla - Wish there was a way to remove enemies and just blow stuff up.
Splinter Cell Conviction - see Dead Rising 2
Tomb Raider Underworld - see Dead Rising 2
Trine - dunno but this game just bores me
Witcher 1 - after playing 2 and loving it so far, I may go back to the original at some point...

 

[marmasatt]

That's really funny. I only play shooters mind you, and mostly FPS at that, but my list is almost identical to yours with the exception of the Max Paynes.

And still haven't finished Bioshock 2 or Fear 2 yet....

Come to think of it now, rarely do I finish a game...

Edit: Oh and add me to the Far Cry 2 list. Did *anyone* finish that game?

bioshock. got to "the end" and then just said "fuck it"

other games i have not touched:

Riddick Assault on Athena
KOTOR I
Painkiller
Call of Juarez
Serious Sam II
Max Payne (played for a while, lost interest)
Max Payne II
Metro 2033 (lost interest)
L4D/L4D2 (haven't played either)
FEAR Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate
DMC4 (haven't played yet. i enjoy 3rd person hack and slash though. liked darksiders a lot)
