NOT because its a bad game
NOT because i found it repetitive

Just because i just did...IL probably play it more in a few weeks or in a month but i kinda have stopped playing it
I stopped playing that today as well. Turns out once you become a werewolf you can't smith, enchant, or use alchemy. God damn 1.03 patch.

SMT:Nocturne-There's an involved teleportation maze near the end that I never felt like doing

Morrowind-Fantastic setting and storyline lost me on the sticky, slow combat

Vampire the Masquerade:Bloodlines-My computer sucks too much to run it

FFXII, Was playing it nic3 and happily, then I bought my XBox 360, and my PS2 broke (strangely within 2 weeks of eachother) So I never got round to finishing it!

Fallout3, Accidentally saved just before end of game without realising you couldn't carry on! Downloaded the DLC that allows you too, but for some reason haven't been bothered yet! And now i'm considering a new character anyway!!

FFXIII, Got to the bit where suddenly you didn't have to follow a single narrow path, ran around for a bit, decided I wanted a Chocobo, so played until I got one... Haven't put the game in since!

Dragon Age: Origins, Got to the bit where you can fight incarnations of yourself, but got stuck! Came up with an idea: I'd get rd of my companions and have a 1 on 1... It worked! I got through... Didn't realise that before I could get back to camp and get my companions back, I had to fight a hard boss... Impossible on my own!! Gave up, haven't played since!

God... My ENTIRE PS2 collection... Which includes everything from The Bard's Tale to Zone of the Enders (Though I'll wait until the HD remake comes out for it) and Xenosaga 1-3

On the 360: Saints Row 2
Mirror's Edge
Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga
Alpha Protocol
Army of Two: The 40th Day
Batman Arkham Asylum/City (I got them for $28 total on Black Friday. Don't care for either.)

On Ps3: Every game I have, which includes things like Trinity Universe and Brutal Legend.


On PC: Just about every game I own on Steam

For me it's Valkyria Chronicles. What I have played of the game I loved and was really into it until a certain boss.
That Boss is a giant tank with machine guns on every side and after a good 45 minutes of positioning and whatnot, the 2nd phase had started where the woman with the artifact proceeds to lawlerskate around the map to 1-shot my troops.
That, I just found to be too tedious and I haven't even felt like messing with it again since I spent hours on end trying to complete it (without losing a unit).

Oh yeah, another good game I stopped playing: Final Fantasy XII. I care not that so many people disliked the game - I have enjoyed every bit (even the characters) EXCEPT the reason I quit playing it: The grinding. Being a FF fan and ex-MMO player, I'm pretty used to grinding but I spent two days grinding my characters up and equipping them well, handed a boss it's ass on a platter, then proceeded to the next area only to be utterly DESTROYED by that boss. I said to hell with grinding for another two days. When I did that the last time I thought "This should last me a while..." Especially after rolling the boss which made me sit back and grind in the first place.

I'll finish them both some day!

Yeah I think I'm gonna jump on the Skyrim bandwagon here.
I don't have as much free time as I used to and Skyrim took up so much of it.

I've completed companion quests, thieves guild quests, dark brotherhood quests.
Still not done the main story. I will eventually, just...not for the moment.

Odd, I never had that problem. Became a werewolf early on and I'm still happily smithing away.

God of War 1. It was a good game, but I got to a part that I just couldn't get past, and I'll probably need a walkthrough to help me do it. Trouble is, I've been too lazy and bogged down by other games to actually go about picking up the game again and consulting that walkthrough. I also have both Resident Evil 4 and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time sitting unbeaten in my collection for similar reasons.

Age of Empires 2 : Conquerers Expansion, that game WAS my childhood.

Why'd I stop playing?

My PC broke down.

Oh my list would be so long. I have such a terrible habit of not finishing games, and I don't know why! Like, L.A Noire for instance, I've only got 2 more cases until the end, and I STILL have not finished it. And that game is REALLY great in my opinion, I played it for hours when I first got it. I am confused by my own attention span.

Then there's Fall Out 3 and Oblivion, which I haven't finished mainly because of being distracted by side quests and random pillaging. I haven't played those in months. Gah!

Many games.
New Vegas (The Bugs...)
Deus Ex: Human Revolution (Fun, but felt boring after the first boss)
Resident Evil 5
God of War 1 & 2 (Got stuck.)
Half-Life 2 (An hour of boat driving? Silly VALVe)
Oblivion (Generic RPG is generic)
Saint's Row 2 (It was fun but felt a bit out-dated)
Assassin's Creed 1 & Revelations (Playing as Altair in Revelations reminded me that the series needs innovation)
Final Fantasy 1, 3, 7, 13
Mass Effect (I got lost in the Citadel for 5 hours)
Pokemon: White
Pokemon: Soul Silver (Not sure)
Battlefield: Bad Company (Story was funny, but the self-heal kind of ruined it)
Call of Duty: World At War, Classic, Modern Warfare 3
Metal Gear Solid 4 (Wasn't used to the whole "Cutscene for half-an-hour" vibe)
Sly Cooper 2
Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep
Kingdom Hearts: Re: Chain Of Memories (Beat the original, wasn't up for another romp through the castle.)
GTA 4, GTA 3 (So. Boring. I enjoyed San Andreas and Vice City, though)
Prince of Persia 2008
Dragon Age: Origins (It was good but I just stopped playing. Not sure why)
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (Going to start over in the HD Collection)
Dead Nation
Persona 3-Original (Switched to the PSP verision, instead.)
Legend of Zelda 1 & 2, Majora's Mask
Banjo-Tooie (Played the game for ages, yet, never finished it)
Donkey Kong Country: Returns
Metroid: Prime, Prime 2, Prime 3

While some might say otherwise, I love RAGE, and I think it's a great game.

But for some reason I decided to do a HeartGold Nuzlocke run last week and I haven't played it in a since.
