-Dragon age: origins to much time chatting with npc's, not enough killing stuff
Oh, you are really gonna like Dragon Age 2 then... Waves upon waves of enemies.

-Metro 2033, it seems all the eastern european/russian fps/rpg games bore me after a few hours for some reason I cant quite put my finger on.
That reminds me... I've played Metro 2033, but never finished it. Near the end there were these exploding blob pools which I ran through without any trouble. But the stupid NPC that followed me, crawled through the whole damn place. Seriously, WTH were the developers thinking? Couldn't the NPC just ran after me? It wasn't like he was injured/crippled... Well, at least not until he dived into the gazillionth blob pool.

-Mirrors edge: had a jump that took 309203920 tries to make it, finally made it, in my celebration i fell down, tried it 2032030 times until I got pissed and uninstalled.
I actually made a comment about that in my previous post, before I read this. It seems a lot of people had trouble with this. I guess it came more natural with me. I did die a few times trying a certain jump, but no more than that. I got killed more often by the NPC's. But that had also to do with the achievement I was trying to get: do not kill anyone.

-Titan quest and expanion: bad D2 clone
There is a better (good) Diablo 2 clone? Titan Quest had it's share of issues. Most noteworthy the unpolished stats/skills/modifiers; it was too messy. But I still haven't found a better Diablo 2 clone.

Rayman 2: The Great Escape. Hey, I was about 5 when I got it, and when I went back to have another go later in life, I got to a point where the disk crashed every time I got about half way through one level, without any available patch as far as I can tell, so it might be a scratched disk or something. So I gave up all hope of ever completing it. Awesome game for its time, though.

Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood. Ran out of steam on the first one, don't want to spoil the story for it by playing the second one.

Dragon Age- Something just didn't click with me. Maybe it's because I was using a mage with shape-shift, which is reportedly woe-fully outclassed by the other specialization.

Kingdom Hearts 2, for making the final (I hope...) boss drag on and on and on.... Yes, I appreciate their attempts to change things up for each phase, but considering most of KH2 was a jumping-slashing-spell-casting game, the changes in game-mode didn't make sense to me. Then I failed one of the sections, because it was something completely different from what I was used to. You're really going to pull this? In the final boss fight? Which has already dragged on long enough? No more.

Witty Name Here said:
I tried to finish Hitman: Blood Money, but I was stuck on the ferry boat level... It was honestly one of my least favorite levels to tell you the truth. Unfortunately, my little brother gave the game away to a friend without asking me, so I wont have a chance to go back to it for a while.
That is the most God awful level. It takes away the sprawling non-linear-ness of the rest of the levels and replaces it with a cramped ship. There's only about 3-4 ways to complete that level aswell, compared to the 500,000 ways to complete every other level. Still, there's a cool zombie easter egg on there, so you can't complain (but i still will).

The only games i've not completed are Overlord 1 and 2. Overlord 1 because i just sort of forgot about it, though it was great fun, and Overlord 2 because it bored me in the first few minutes. Wow, clubbing seals, that's fun, but not when there's a seal clubbing quota you've got to fill before you can fucking continue.

Well I haven't finished off New vegas because I feel like I still need to get stuff done before I do the last couple of missions and I haven't finished the Broken Steel add-on for Fallout 3 therefore I haven't completed the main quest yet.

Mirror's Edge.

It. Was. So. Fucking. Terrible.
I disagree. It was a brilliant game. But I think you are referring to the jump sequences; falling to your death every few meters?

Or was it the first person view while jumping around?

I do hear those complaints a lot, along with the combat. But I never had an issue with any of them. The game had a certain flow that just worked well for me.
God, there were so many bad design choices I don't even want to get started. When I say, "it was fucking terrible" I mean there were literally no redeeming qualities.

Silent Hill: Origins
It just got boring, plus Lisa was in it. I really don't like her... at all.
HOW DARE YOU! I was in love with her when I was 11. Thought she was the greatest thing ever. Kinda admission there...
BTW, you're not missing anything. Ending was pointless

OT- I have a few of theses.
Tomb Raider- Underworld- Bored me to death
Star Ocean, a new hope- At the end, but I need to grind to get prepared. Just building up the confidence
Ateria Rorona- I wanted to get into it, but keep getting side tracked. OK thats it! Getting that done this week
Crisis 2- Really don't care for it
Tactics Ogre- I have no reason, just haven't played it in a while

I have a habit of getting distracted.
Sorry, just my opinion. We already had enough female characters, I'd prefer more males in that game... more males in most games. Not that I don't like any female characters...

Bioshock 2: Its not a bad game per se, but the original makes it look worse than it is.
Portal 2: gave me motion sickness and it dragged on for too long.
Daek Messiah of Might and Magic: Also, gave me motion sickness and was mediocre. Probably would have finished for the lulz though.
Kingdom Under Fire Heroes: Too difficult.
Fallout New Vegas: Just got bored with it, its a good game but I don't like the setting enough for it to hold my attention.
Space Siege: I actually quite liked the old school design philosophy, unfortunately it was old school done badly.
Fable 2: The fact that Baldur's Gate 2 is my favourite RPG ever should be sufficient explanation for this one.

I think that is all of them.

Most of the games I've bought in Steam sales. Generally, they're old or badly designed indie games with little to keep me interested.

Of course, there are the badly designed big games like Burnout Paradise and Overlord that I haven't completed too. I'm not saying that it's only indie games that are bad.

Oh boy, a bunch of games I haven't finished...

.hack//Quarantine: It was really annoying that you needed so many virus cores in order to proceed with the main story. And since you are so late in the game, its quite annoying to get some of them. Not to mention that it felt like almost every other monster that came out of a portal was a data bug, so you'll be data draining like crazy(least thats the impression I got as I believe one of the main story missions had a dungeon filled with data bugs). Then I played the G.U. series, and I find it really hard to go back.

Devil Survivor: I'm not really sure. I guess it was because I didn't really have strong enough demons/useful skills to do a mission. I believe it involved saving random npcs, and if any of them died, it was game over. Found it really annoying.

Final Fantasy 3 DS: I'm only 3 hours or so in, but I guess the story didn't grab me. Will go back later though hopefully.

Final Fantasy 12: I absolutely hate the combat system. That and the super big areas were a bit too much. But mostly it was the combat system and the really annoying fact that enemies kept respawning.

Xmen Legends 2: I was getting my butt handed to me in one of the missions. I mean, I was getting wrecked.

Valkyria Chronicles: I love this game sooooo much. But I got to a point where I need to level up my squad a lot in order to proceed(think I need access to the grenade launchers). I already bought the 2nd game, but I really do plan on finishing it.

Dragon Quest 8: Not sure really. I was enjoying the game, but for some reason I just stopped playing. Wasn't getting too hard(though it was sometimes annoying); I just stopped.

Final Fantasy 7: I got to the final dungeon with my party at level 70 or so. Ran into this big dragon that kills me in 2 hits. Course, this was about 10 years ago, and I'm trying to pick it up again.

Final Fantasy 8: I know I got to the last disc, but I stopped for some reason. Think I was trying to get the bahamut summon but couldn't figure out how(like ff7, this was years ago).

Arc the Lad 2: I was at the final dungeon, but I kept getting lost(which would cause the very hard monsters to respawn). I remember saving then stopping for a month. When I came back, my save file was gone for whatever reason. Keep in mind that in the final dungeon, your characters would be around level 120-140 or so. It was one of the few games to go beyond level 100(with the starting level being around 5 or so). Haven't touched it since then because I was absolutely devestated.

Persona 3 FES: Love this game. But honestly? That final boss for 'The Journey' was really fraking annoying. Takes about 1 hour to get to his final form after going through so many others, then he constantly kills me. Wonder how much easier it is on the PSP, seeing as how you can actually control your characters in that one besides yourself. Though I must admit, it was my first SMT/Persona game. Haven't done 'The Answer' yet, but I know what happens.

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn: Love the series, and I managed to beat the really annoying/hard(for me anyway) Path of Radiance. But this game is really hard. I know I got to one certain map that I instantly knew I was gonna get crushed on(this is back with the first character you use, Sothe an Micah I believe?), and haven't touched it since then.

While I haven't really bought these games, I have borrwed them from others

Prototype: I honestly cannot get connected to this game at all. I don't know what it is, but I just can't.

Red Dead Redemption: I got through the first act, and did a bunch of missions in the 2nd, but like prototype, I just can't connect to it. Then again, I wasn't really much of an 'Old West' type of guy. Also, I hate almost every single person I see in the game. Everyone is just so...unlikeable to me. Then again, maybe its the appeal of the game.

Sure I'm probably forgetting something, but thats all I can think of right now. Sorry for the long post! Lol.

Dead Space One and Two.

I always got towards the end and then no matter what I did I just couldn't beat it.

Also GTA and Just Cause 2.

It's not that they're hard,it's just so easy to get sidetracked from missions.

I don;t think I'mma finish the PS2 port of ultimate alliance 2. And I prolly won't beat Guilty Gear X because I keep gettin' my ass handed to me.
I haven't beaten Tales of Symphonia because that one part is really disturbing to me. That part where that one girl is giving medicine to her dads corpse.
