I've seen a lot of threads about "the best games/favorite games/Games you already played or beat This/Games you already played or beat that" but not one about games you haven't or have yet to beat.
Not necessarily ones you're "interested in", but ones you've definitely grown accustomed to ensure you'll love but haven't beaten for some very specific reason outside of "looked interesting - Didn't feel like or have the money/time to play it/care."
I'll start off and name a few as well as why.
Dino Crisis
I've played this game for the first time recently but had to stop to start over. (Sometimes when I get stuck, and I mean REALLY stuck, the best option is actually to start over as often times if I'm ACTUALLY stuck like that, it's most likely because I forgot a very obvious mechanic of the game that I'm supposed to be using to progress.) I haven't beaten it since, though, because I haven't had time to do so.
I am absolutely in love with this game and I generally knew I would be since it's a CAPCOM game + it's very Resident Evil, which I also love however the reason I haven't played it was actually because I didn't necessarily NEED to. There are some games out there that, when we play it, we really want to go and find more games like it. Depending on the game and what exactly you're looking for, you may find more than enough games like it and that was the case with Dino Crisis. Still to this day I haven't gotten enough of Resident Evil 0-CV. (This includes Outbreak File #1/2 as well as Resident Evil Remake) This isn't even including other games I love that give me the same satisfaction so with all of these games satisfying this itch, I didn't feel it was a huge hole in my heart that I haven't played yet another game I've plenty of already without.
Castlevania Dracula X (SNES)
I honestly can't stand this game though I know it isn't necessarily "Bad" so I guess one day I will beat it but knowing that there's Castlevania Rondo of Blood as well as Dracula X Chronicles (For PSP) which both I HAVE beaten, this game isn't really high on my priority since the gameplay isn't nearly as fun or fascinating as its more polished incarnations. It is, however, the only standard Castlevania with Richter so eventually I'll beat it as there aren't many of these that are 1: Canon and 2: Not Simon Belmont as the protagonist.
Megaman X5
I got so close to beating this game but when I found out that the ending being "true" or not comes down to unseen random numbers, I was immediately disenchanted... Though to be fair, I didn't particularly like this game much to begin with compared to every Megaman X game before it. I practically defeated every boss and was at the end-game when I found that out and pretty much just put it down in exhaustion and decided that I'd "Deal with it later" and, unfortunately, later never came. There was so much tediousness with its bogus level design but I fought through to the end of it's absolutely unforgiving difficulty... Just to give up by a technical revelation. It's quite humorous when I think of it that way but it's the truth. I didn't enjoy whatever was happening with the Enigma, nor it being absolutely up to chance which ending I'm stuck with. Imagine having to play an unbelievably tedious, difficult in the wrong ways and way too long of a game that ends up not being THAT fun.... Just for you to MAYBE have to play it again (and again and again) because the game... Decided to give you the same (possibly boring) ending you've seen your three other playthroughs. The entire ordeal is simply discouraging to say the least so the moment before the decision of the Enigma was made, I went to the internet to see if there is anything I can do to receive the best ending and pretty much just ended the entire thing when I found out it's random. One day I WILL go back to it, but most likely after I beat it I'll look up the other endings online as I don't love this game enough to receive each one myself.
Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 2+
I'll start off with stating that I've never played any of these games other than the first. I loved the first so much, however, that I am instantly attracted to the sequels! ... But that's where the problem is. It is going to sound strange but I actually DO love the first game SO MUCH that I just.... Can't get enough of it. I don't need MORE Ty, you see... Only more of the same Ty I fell in love with. Until that gets a bit stale or I desire more, there is no need for me to play the others (And potentially give the developers more room to possibly ruin Ty the Tasmanian Tiger (Or maybe enhance. No need for pessimism.)) but, of course, I will eventually as I do like the story and would enjoy seeing where it would go in the future games.
Aliens Dark Descent
This one is going to be pretty humorous... And unexpectedly sappy. The moment I played this game, I immediately fell in love with it, despite some technical game breaking (And even save-destroying) glitches. My save was never ruined, though, because when I was stuck (And reloading a save did not fix that) I would use mods to unstuck myself then save and continue without any cheating software, essentially fixing my save since I was on PC. Anyways, I got to the notorious end-game timer. A lot of people complained about this where it was even patched to have it as an option. I was and always will be perfectly fine with the timer. I think it's cool but it's also really nice that the developers added it as an option. Anyways I have a LOT of time left. I also mostly %100'd each part of the planet before this even happened so with that being said, I was NOT about to ruin my awesome streak! No timer would stop me so I continued the game as usual. I had more than enough time left... Until I %100'd the next area and there was another area after it. I was a little lower on my time so I decided NOT to %100 this area and speed through it - you know, before I as well as everyone else dies.
..... Until there was ANOTHER area after it! D: Now I was stuck. I physically did not have enough time to finish what I assumed was the last area of the game. Somehow I completely underestimated how many areas were left in the game. It really felt like that last one would be it! I just defeated some end-game boss and all. Are we STILL not done!? ... I believe I was able to speed through that one just in the nic of time.... To have revealed to me that there was another area left. Well, it goes without saying that I failed my team and we all got blasted off again. (Again as in the first time and now my save needs to be deleted.)
That's ok with me. I really enjoyed it! I'll go do it again any day.... Except now when I had the time my computer broke so I'm unable to play it at all as, currently, fixing it would be far too expensive.
Bummer...
Silent Hill Book of Memories
Let me start this one off by clearing the table so I have space to put down my deck of cards: Firstly, I am a HUGE Silent Hill fan. 1-4 + PT (And 2 Remake) all of the way. I know all of the dirty and suspicious looks I'm getting right now for even putting this game on this list of ones I "want to beat" but the reality is... I REALLY like Book of Memories. It's not Silent Hill. It just isn't. It's a really fun game where you beat up monsters and join friends in rewriting your memories and making new ones. It has nice graphics and gameplay. Literally the only thing holding this game back is the fact that Silent Hill was greedily slapped onto its title. If we just pretend it's a non-canon fan game where you play as your own character and have your own unique Silent Hill-like experience unrelated to the main games, you'll find that this game is not bad at all! It's just an insult to Silent Hill fans that never asked for such a thing to exist in their universe but good thing you have to turn your Silent Hill-colored fan off because it's pretty ice-cold in this room right now anyway. With that being said, yes. This game is pretty awesome, even if it isn't Silent Hill at all and I won't even pretend it deserves to be called so. I got all of the way up to the second-to-last dungeon and stopped. The reason for this is because I was having issues understanding exactly how the memory rewriting system worked around the, like, second dungeon so I decided to look it up and it made sense to me! I played normally but went back to dungeons to get all of the different memory paths just so I can "choose" which one I think is best suited to the player I'm playing as. (If my memory serves, I just wanted to get all Light memories but I'm not sure what I was going for exactly.) The issue arose when the second-to-last dungeon I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to trigger the memory I desired. I don't look up cheats or guides or anything to a game I HAVEN'T beaten unless I really believe a game has been glitched and I'd like to confirm that or something of the sort. (Or in the case of Megaman X5, I simply don't like the game enough to have to redo something drastic because of a tiny detail I was ignorant to.) I know I'm doing something wrong so I decided to give it a rest at the time. I never went back to it since but I definitely would like to. This game is so fun! Maybe I'll just suck it in and get whichever memory and move on from this dungeon and do it after I beat the game so I can feel like an honest video game player that only looks up SOME stuff after I beat a game and did my best.
Yooka-Laylee
On the contrary to what I see everyone online state, I really did enjoy Yooka-Laylee! I didn't like how dark and play-dough the shading and graphics looked as is kind of common to lower-budget indie games or whatever but I still enjoyed the game, playing it as I would Donkey Kong 64 or something where I try to get as much stuff in the world as possible. However, I stopped playing when a few things happened. Firstly, I got far enough in the game where the level design felt just a bit stale, like I beat the entire big level just to progress to.... Doing the same thing in a different looking area. At least in Donkey Kong 64 or many of the similarly-structured Mario games, each new area feels so different regardless if whether what I'm doing is a bit similar or not. I wasn't sure how much I felt I'd survive if the entire game was just level after level of them all feeling the same so I sort of slowed up playing it. However, at some point I needed space on my storage device and I wanted most of my games. Yooka-Layle was a pretty large game for the system I had it on so I had to make a decision whether I wanted to get rid of this game or other games I cared about so I choose this one and never ended up going back to it. I will one day, though. (By the way, Yooka-Replaylee looks a bit too similar to games like Super Mario Odyssey, which we have way more than enough games similar to it, that I think I'll likely prefer the original Yooka-Laylee over it for being something more unique than what I can get literally anywhere else.)
Diablo 3
Ahh.. This game I saved for the end. Diablo 3 is quite grand of a story here. For a bit of back story, I absolutely LOVE diablo 1 and 2. 2 Resurrected is my favorite of all. (1, 2, 3 and 2R are the only I've played.) I've beaten 1 and 2. I was hype for 2 Resurrected when it came out so I played that and loved it. I skipped out on 3, however, because years before Resurrected was announced, I tried playing 3 on my Playstation 3. (The game was a few pennies...) I played it for a bit (And didn't really compare it to 1 or 2 at the time) and... Something just didn't click. 1 and 2 weren't fresh on my mind at the time so I didn't really know what it was but it didn't so I just put it away for years. Eventually I got 2 Resurrected and got back in to Diablo 1 and 2 as well and had so much fun all over. I remembered I actually had 3 (From years ago, of course.) but never really played it more than a short period of time. I don't remember what the issue was at the time that made me stop but I hoped it was probably me just being interested in other games at the time and it didn't quite click for me. So I turned it on. I even had a buddy to play locally with me.
.... Boy was I IMMEDIATELY hit with the STENCH that is Diablo 3. I was introducing my buddy to Diablo at the time so we played 1, 2 REPLAYED 2 with the Lord of Destruction DLC and then 2 Resurrected all in that order. That buddy knew Diablo at this point and the MOMENT I turned this game on... Mind you, I don't remember anything about my experience with 3 other than something I just didn't like something about it and decided not to play. I told my buddy that as a warning before I turned it on and made sure to include the bit that I don't exactly remember what it was that didn't click... and when something doesn't click for ME then, even years later, it was definitely a reason why.... And it most certainly was. The first thing we were hit with was the absolutely rank art style. We played for ten seconds and we needed a multi-hour Google montage of research on what the hell happened here before even actually playing! Well, from our research, it turns out that the geniuses at Diablo Studios (Or whatever) decided that they absolutely had riches raining on them when they designed Diablo which piloted the MEGA anticipation of Diablo 2 that was guaranteed (And fulfilled) to just break the camel's back, spine and all vital organs with more riches upon release, that they decided "Hm... What can we do to top the riches of Diablo 2? OH I KNOW. We can look at our other games we've made that give us even more ungodly riches - NAMELY WORLD OF WARCRAFT - and just.... Copy/Paste the art style from there so we can bank both Diablo riches AND the mega-successful World of Warcraft we milk even in the afterlife so we can be buried in riches to the moon!" and then we have this abomination-sight that is Diablo 3. This game is plain ugly. Of course it's all my opinion but I DO NOT like World of Warcraft and I never will. It's unfun plus it's also everything I DISLIKE about the video game industry today so that's "nice". Ontop of that, I'm not a fan of its art style. I loved Diablo's very dark and gritty setting and atmosphere. Instead, they just threw that out of the window with this obnoxiously cartoony fairy fantasy style that is Diablo 3's art direction so even if this game was the best game in the series, it's already distasteful just by looking at it the moment it's presented to me. Of course my buddy and I decided that's ok. It's just a stupid art style and we can still love a game for what it is, we just need to give it a chance so we do.... FAR too many chances than it deserved. We literally get to the END of the game. Now before we even got there, this game's story is so boring to both of us compared to the easily comprehensible and tense story that is 2 and the straightforward story that is 1. (Which hints on a more in-depth story here and there through the in-game books) The gameplay, especially with everyone being ranged by requirement, pretty much, and weapons being useless outside of just holding it for "Stats" to boost the power and stat numbers of your skills... It's was very wrong in so many ways that made things unfun for us and, unfortunately, I fell asleep while playing multiple times in our sessions. So often, in fact, that I requested my buddy to continue playing without me IF I fall asleep and just recap a bit of what happened when I woke up and I'd do the same... If I had the ability. (It's on local play so we're on the same system - Same save.) It started happening too often because the game bore us so much and was simply unfun that I decided to finally call it quits right before the game ended and said that I couldn't take anymore of this torture. We were so invested on at least beating it but to be honest? Blizzard (Or whoever made it... Diablo Studios I guess. XD) made not caring to do so pretty easy for us. They made the game take place many years after the events of 2 that it doesn't even matter much what happened afterward. They SPOILER - Killed off any remaining Diablo characters we loved anyways and, worst of all, we find out that Diablo 4 is pretty much just a massive multiplayer online service game that takes place even further in the future. The service thing already doomed my interest in ever playing it so in conclusion: Not only does anything after Diablo 2 not matter story-wise, Diablo 3 is unfathomably boring and ugly and Diablo 4 is an online service game. (That's like telling me that I need to play Umbrella Corps. to get the full Resident Evil story because it shows some Umbrella operative training. I'll pass on online-service games no matter how imperative to a story they are.)
I hope you enjoyed my stories and I look forward to yours!
Not necessarily ones you're "interested in", but ones you've definitely grown accustomed to ensure you'll love but haven't beaten for some very specific reason outside of "looked interesting - Didn't feel like or have the money/time to play it/care."

The service thing already doomed my interest in ever playing it so in conclusion: Not only does anything after Diablo 2 not matter story-wise, Diablo 3 is unfathomably boring and ugly and Diablo 4 is an online service game. (That's like telling me that I need to play Umbrella Corps. to get the full Resident Evil story because it shows some Umbrella operative training. I'll pass on online-service games no matter how imperative to a story they are.)
I hope you enjoyed my stories and I look forward to yours!
