Fallout: New Vegas - I've tried so many times but i just don't mesh that well with the Fallout games and it's a shame because it's an enjoyable title but just not enough for me to keep playing it and not get interrupted by other titles.
Portal 2 - I don't even know why i've never completed it. A fairly entertaining title but just like New Vegas i just got more interested in other titles and has actually never picked up where i ended all that time ago.
The Witcher
Dragons Dogma
Boring shite
I gave up on the Witcher 2 because I couldn't read the text on my screen. Sad, but true. Inventory alone was giving a headache, and I'm the sort of person who wants/needs subtitles.
I've never enjoyed a GTA game of any sort. The themes don't really work for me.
Skyrim... technically. I beat the game (twice?), but never came close to hitting most of the content or even the places. Too much grinding through useless loot and meaningless places, struggling to make real money for real things of use. If I play it, I only do one of the major sub-faction plotlines appropriate for my build.
I've never completed a Bioshock game.
It's a pretty common trait in civilization. Once I get in a dominant position, it becomes tedius to finish. Civ V actually helped this with it's one-unit-a-tile rule and limited use for roads, so I had less worker stacking and management.
I never finished FFX, but only because I could never beat the final boss and I couldn't stand the grinding. Got to the boss at least three times though.
FFXII, however, I dropped completely. Too many boring sidequests and such, and the plot-driving characters never caught my interest.
There's also one of the Zelda gameboy games... something about a labrynth with unkillable monsters? It wore me out trying to get more and more time.
It sorta-kinda happens in FNV: I've beaten the game four or five times, but with dozens of dropped playthroughs.
Metroid Prime 3. I had no excuse. It's just something I randomly stopped playing and finished two years later.
It was amazing though, I enjoyed it tremendously. I punished myself accordingly for neglecting it.
Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines...
I don't know... it just wasn-
BAHAHAH Yeah, f*cking right I'd stop playing that piece of genius half way through, what am I? A imbecile!? xD
Funny thing is, I tried it out once and gave up on it because the quest system was never clear. No direction or whatsoever.
Might play it again at some point, but I really hated the quest system.

Just play it for this line.
"Every problem a grain of sand. Each night I inherit the desert."
The writing for VTMB is the best you'll find in the industry. Up there with Planescape Torment and the Witcher 2.

Oh yeah I definitely enjoyed the story and characters alot. It was really just some of the gameplay that threw me off.
The optional info in the menu is educational, but most of that storyline itself doesn't really strike me as history-teaching.

The middle section of Portal 2 drags on FOOORRREEVVVEERRRR!!!!!
It was fun though.

the Witcher 1 & 2, really want to get into the series tbh, but combat stops me, but give it a go a coupla times a year
The Walking Dead - just bored me
Tomb Raider - again bored
GTA 4, Skyrim, Oblivion, Final Fantasy 12, Assassin's Creed 2 and Pokemon white version.
The games that come to my mind would be Baldur's Gate 1+2, although I never even got close to being halfway through them.
Also Arkham City, although it still has a spot on my "will play this someday" list.

One suggestion: conceputalize your character as someone with a fairly strong motivation to shape New Vegas's future and/or side with one of the factions. The first time through, I didn't - I was trying to play as a "small-picture altruist" who did her best to help in all the situations she encountered but didn't especially trust authority figures and didn't see herself as someone who could realistically influence the factions. She wasn't inclined to chase down Benny or the chip (seeing as she was nearly killed the last time she got near either of them), and I kept looking for the "throw Mr. House's caps on the floor and stomp out of the room" option when he was trying to get her to go look for the chip. Eventually I just had to give up on playing the character this way because the game wouldn't advance otherwise.

Although, in true Bethesda fashion, you could spend DOZENS of hours in the game not doing anything related to the main quest. I didn't even get past the most preliminary of major plot points until I had started my second playthrough, about 60 hours in.
True, and that's exactly what I did with my small-picture altruist character for a while. I was traveling with Veronica trying to resolve her issues with the Brotherhood, helping the ghouls near Novac get their rocket working, and doing some of the non-essential NCR quests since they were fighting the Legion even though I didn't completely trust them. (And getting my ass kicked in some vaults - the one with the lethal plants and the irradiated one somewhere in the middle of the map were tough in hardcore mode!)
I was hoping that the game would give me a different reason for going to the Strip than finding Benny - my character's attitude would have been, "He tried to kill me last time around, so why exactly do I want to see him again?" - but it never really happened. Colonel Moore, meanwhile, was one of the main reasons I didn't fully trust NCR and was the other person I wanted to flip the bird at and walk out, but then the entire NCR quest line stops.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
Bought it b/c of the hype and constant praise it was being given here on the forums and by reviewers alike. Played it and loved it. Loved the setting, the protagonist, certain characters, the story and general intrigue, and then just suddenly lost interest. I simply stopped playing and moved on to different games. Got interested in it again a month ago, decided to start from the beginning, but didn't get far til I yet again stopped playing it.

There are a bunch of quests that just take you to the strip if you go in that direction eventually. Odd jobs and such, as I recall.
I might add Bugout: Crash Vegas, unless I manage to fix the damn CtDing on the same exact spot all the time.

Besides Bioshock Infinite as I mentioned before, Borderlands, Fallout 3, LA Noire and The Saboteur. There are probably more but I cant remember them right now.

You may be right. I just remember reaching a point where it seemed clear that the game wouldn't progress if I didn't confront Benny at the Tops, and I'm thinking, "I don't want to see this guy at all - and now I'm going to walk into his headquarters where he has armed guards at his side and my weapons get confiscated at the door? On what planet is this a good idea?"

You're totally right about that part. The game does sort of stall if you don't confront him on his home turf. I just meant you can get to the strip without chasing him.
