No reason to hide, this is more or less true. Same with Ubisoft and DICE.

My definition would be either a game that was little content, poor overall quality, severe lack of polish, major and/or game breaking bugs or are delivered missing one or several features we were promised for some time.

Examples of unfinished games, by my own definition; Gran Turismo 5 (the vast majority of cars were re-skinned PS2 models and only a handful of vehicles sported interiors, online was paltry at the beginning).

Assassin's Creed: Unity; the bugs were huge and game breaking and the title had a great lack of polish.

Battlefield 3; server issues galore and for over 6 months, and even after you could connect, there were major issues with lag, bungee lapses, clipping and bugged balistics.

Fallout 3; yes, it's open world, yes you can go everywhere you want. But why would you want to? If you've seen two-three sites, you've seen them all, it has a crippling lack of variation that reviewers somehow missed or ignored and even though the gameplay is solid, it kind of defeated the purpose of an open world with its lack of variety and flair.

GTA V; or GTA Online to be specific, this one should be self-explanatory...

Evolve; ridiculously small amount of content.

Dragon Age 2; not only unfinished, but also piss poor overall, it should never have been released and showed everyone how low Bioware are willing to stoop to please EA.

Everything you say is true and makes sense and was implicit in the OP. Except the "An unfinished game is unfinished" remark, which doesn't quite answer my question. Unless your saying an unfinished game is a game that is currently in development and/or was cancelled and there are no released unfinished games.

And I'd say that's a valid opinion but who hast it is someone who never complains about a game being released incomplete

A game that is buggy to the point where it's unplayable, and/or a multiplayer game where the online doesn't work at all is what I consider unfinished.

Great, 6 months later because of updates. Game should have come out 'fixed'.

An incomplete game. Where it is obvious cuts in content and quality were made to ship it out the door or to sell later as DLC.

For example Mortal Kombat X is an unfinished product. The story mode is shorter than the previous game with the story going for a sudden ending with alot of story elements left unanswered. What happened to Smoke, Stryker, Liu kang, sindel, kung lao, kitana? Some of them are playable and in their regular form.
What was up with the placeholder fighters? 3 characters you fight in the story mode that arent available as playable characters.
There are only 12 stages + training stage. Less than its predecessor. Theres less playable characters than its predecessor.

Day one DLC Goro, ripped out of the disk. DLC characters, wich come out a few weeks later and were announced before release. Am i to believe Netherealm develops a character every 2-3 weeks? Then the roster should be alot bigger in the final game.

All these are aspects of a game that was ripped from the developers hand because the publisher wanted the minimum enough to be able to sell to consumers under the pretense that it was finished.

I would complain about the quality of the game, the scale of the game or the amount of content. I would not claim those games to be unfinished.

Ok seems fair.

I agree almost totally with you. Only case I'd complain about it not being finished is, like I said in OP, glitched and bugged games with. I believe a game can be bad in quality but a game with lots of bugs and framerate issues is because they didn't even botter to test or ootimize it.

Bug-filled game.

I could choose to interpret 'unfinished' in a good way if I wanted. I could say Splatoon's unfinished because Nintendo's not finished with it and will continue to add new modes and maps as free dlc.

Really we shouldn't be shoehorning the word in discussions in such a vague way. If a game's broken say it's broken. If you think it's short or lacking in content for the price just say so.

Unfinished, to me, means it's not released yet and still requires development.
