Ever just lost interest in a long game?

I got seriously bored of Final Fantasy 13, I think to was because you follow one path for absolutely ages.
yeah most recently that happened to me with okami, I guess there's a lesson here for me. Don't get too involved with the side quests, they may very well ruin the experiance if you're not careful
I did eventually beat all of these, but damn it took a long time.
Assassins Creed 1&2 (Fun for a bit, then way to repetitive)
Dragon Age (I refuse to play again because the Dwarf Kingdom is so fucking long and dull)
Fallout 3 (Ignoring the mass amount of bugs I kept having, I just got bored)
Oblivion (It was an OK game, but that is it. Wasn't enough to keep me going)
Mass Effect 1&2 (I loved them both, but just got bored after a bit)

Fallout 2 especially when I got the New reno car glitch. All those hours trying to get it (the car) to work, wasted.
I've still yet to finish Oblivion. I love the game, it's great, but no matter how many times I start it, I lose interest half way through the main story
JRPGs normally came with the "1 week curse" for me, as in if I left it for a week without playing, I couldn't pick it up from that point again, so I usually played them during the summer. I've gotten better now, but I still don't like to leave for a week (1 hour a week, even if it's just grinding).
As for some others, I'd say Bioshock, though that's more of finding the time when I actually want to play it, which is always right when I also would like to be sleeping, and Bethesda's RPGs after I finish up the first few levels, though once again I come back to them later on. Grand Theft Auto 4 also did it for me when I couldn't find anything in the game I really liked. Little Big Planet is another I frequently come back to, only for the game to slap me across the face at points and make me turn off my console in shame (it's usually only one portion of only some levels that do that).
Come to think of it, 3D Legend of Zelda games frequently stop me dead in my tracks for some reason. Right now I have saved data for Twilight Princess right before the final boss.
Same thing with a lot of 3D Nintendo games... Mario Sunshine, that one Pokemon game where you steal other people's, all three of the metroid primes that I own (first 2 and hunters), that one Star Fox game on the Dino planet... I think I'm going to skip the next few games Nintendo makes...

Almost forgot that one. Other than the side quests, the fact that there are atleast two big bads before you meet the TRUE big bad made me feel as if the game was just messing with me, especially since one of those two I fought hijacked my drawing power and used it against me.bioshockedcriticjrr said:

I stopped playing Burnout: Paradise after the third Driver's License upgrade. I was getting cars faster than I could actually use them, and mostly they were very similar.
I don't know if it is length or what, but some RPGs I haven't been able to finish. I'l at the last place in Star Ocean TLH and haven't finished it. I stopped playing it about 6 months ago.
But I don't think it's length. I've played hundreds of hours of Fallout, Oblivion and Mass Effect. Surely if it were length these games would have bored me to tears.

This is why I so rarely complete a campaign in a Total War game. Once the steamroller effect kicks in I'm like "OK, I could fight a bunch of one-sided battles just to resolve the campaign goal, but honestly? Getting to 20 provinces is more fun than conquering the other 25."
Holy shit, you've played every JRPG? I can see why you gave up on them...tendo82 said:
On-topic, FFX and Starcraft's Terran campaign. I'm still going on the Zerg one.
I'm completely unable to play Mass Effect 2. No idea why. I haven't even gotten halfway through it. =/
Huh same here. Loved ME1, did a 100% completion run, and then just couldn't get into ME2 despite the hype. Also couldn't do Dragon Age (I think Mass Effect ruined traditional RPGs for me).Onyx Oblivion said:
But lately, I haven't been able to finish most games. There's just too many good games coming out too fast, I wanna play them all and games are just getting bigger and grander, and for someone who has every system... it's an impossible task.
I don't think FF games need a strategy guide, they can be hard, but it's almost always an issue of leveling. When you are at par with bosses, then you get to the actual gameplay If you're using a strategy guide for the battles then all you're doing is running between towns? The strategy involved in battles is pretty much the only real part of gameplay!Chancie said:
