Yeah, I know that Victory is just a branch of EA - but the fact that they put it together shows that they are confident enough to make more, and I don't know a single C&C fan who would shell out for another C&C4 so lets hope that EA takes note and *tries* to make a better C&C game.Geo88 said:

What are you talking about? The first level (after the tutorial) in Zeno Clash had no instant death pits whatsoever. In fact the only death pits in the game are the patches of fog near the edge of the world, and even those don't take effect instantly. So, I have no idea what you're talking about. Maybe you hit some weird glitch.febel said:
More on Topic: Duke Nukem Forever because it was such an anti-thematic piece of shit. The only thing that game does well is the dicking around. Once that ended the game fell apart really fast.
Quest 64 because it was a simplified stripped bare RPG (the fucking game didn't even have a money or bartering system.) I remember liking it as a small child because it was pretty much unfinished and thus accessible to five-year-olds. It was the only bad purchasing decision I made based on nostalgia. Good thing I only lost $5 bucks.
All the final fantasy games, they don't disgust me it just becomes a relentless grind somewhere in the second act and i can't see where I'm headed or why I'm going this direction...
Saint row 2's PC port disgusted me to the point where i stopped playing. that was because the PC port controls made it unplayable, but it still counts.
I never finished ocarina of time. 2 reasons or this. reason/excuse 1 i never got a chance to. I never had an N64, my dad was all about the future at the time and saw the winds shifting towards CDs so i got a PlayStation in those times. then i got a GameCube and pre-ordered wind waker, and wouldn't you know it i got OoT. however this copy was suppose to be lent to a friend for like 2 days so he could check out master quest. however his house burglarized and my copy along with his game collection got stolen. So never had enough time to play the game through enough. I suppose i could get for my wii virtual arcade but that brings me to reason 2. OoT is in my opinion a long game. And after the water temple i start getting tired of it. i don't think its needs to be dumbed down or shortened i still recognize as a great game and what i do play i enjoy, it's just it would take me a long time to play this all the way through...

I have the most obscene adult ADD. I love & enjoy playing & replaying games, but I very rarely play them all the way though before I start playing something else.
Right now I'm reinstalling a game, eating dinner, working on a sudoku puzzle, listening to a review, & watching glitch videos on youtube while thinking about the book I read last night.

Baldur's Gate for the PC. I bought this a few months ago when it went on sale on GOG.com. That first cutscene when you launch the game is a masterpiece, and got me really excited to play the game. But, as I got a few hours into it, I lost interest and have not yet finished it. If I can figure out how to transfer save files to my new PC, I'll probably start playing it again!
Resonance of Fate, it had a pretty interesting story line, and the battle were okay, but HOW the battles worked, and the controls OMG i rage quited
At 5 I was still trying to figure out how to open that door in the forest at level 20 or so. Got stuck there.Iron Lightning said:
In general I have a bad habit of not finishing games. See, I don't feel right if there aren't at least half a dozen games I'm playing that I haven't finished. It's so sad when you get 100% completion on a good game.
There are a few games I know I will never finish or go back to playing again. "Heavy Rain" is the most recent one I can think of. I get enough of those pointless decisions I hate making in real life, I don't need a game to emulate them, I play games to escape doing that.
And I really like Penny Arcade!'s defense for the game too: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/9/6/ But I just cannot play this game, its painful.
"Till the End of Time" is very appropriately named for how freaken long that game is. It was advertised at having 90 hours of main story, and damn they weren't lying, if anything that is an understatement. My least favorite Star Ocean game, far simpler than other games and a lot of bad cutscenes that are also unskippable. There is an interesting story in there, just takes way too long to tell the interesting parts. It was the first game to ever have Trophies, predating achievements, but getting all 255 takes even longer than forever -you have to beat the game a minimum of 3 times and usually that's not enough to collect all of them. ...so yah, can't blame you for quiting while you were ahead. It's better than FF8, but not as short.

I've tried to finish that game a few times. It's just so boring. A battle every step you take, identical to the last battle. And characters are so limited in moves, if you try mixing it up you'll likely be less effective to the point where you'll die.Forever of the Stars said:

FF12 sits almost beaten with no desire for me to continue. Though with gambits, I could probably just leave the game on with forward button taped down and the game would beat itself.Pariah164 said:

-Final Fantasy 7. I just didn't like it at all.
-Just about every RPG I've ever played with an overly complex customisation system: every Final Fantasy save 1, 4 and 6; Fallout 3; heck, even Fire Emblem annoyed me in that regard!
-Half Life 2. I'll admit, the electric fence in Ravenholm is just too much for me.
-Chrono Trigger. I liked it, but it really doesn't like me.

Mass Effect.
I've installed this three times in total. The first two times, I stopped in the Citadel after the first mission while sidequesting after totally losing interest. This is probably tied to my poor sense of direction in 3D scapes and would probably have been less of a problem if it was something like, top-down perspective or so. Nevertheless, I simply got bored and gave up.
The one time I got further around to planet hopping, I found that I really didn't enjoy the basic gameplay anyway since the driving sections really got me more annoyed than anything and the gunplay didn't interest me.
Sengoku Basara 3. I used to love the series. The game wasn't horrible but the story mode implementation felt even longer and taxing than the 2nd game and I got bored.
FFIV Compilation. I enjoyed FFIV a long time ago, but I think I've grown too jaded to enjoy it anymore as it is.

The irony is that I actually intend on going back to some of them (especially as you mention, RPGs) but by the time I return to the game I forget what I was doing. That is why one of my fave RPGs was Tales of Symphonia.... it had an in-game recap of what had happened and what I was doing so that I could return to it after 6 months.ogrebushi said:
Frankly, after I heard about how it ended (I looked it up because I knew I would never, ever beat it), I'm glad I didn't put in the effort and try to get through it. I would have raged so hard that walls would have been broken with my TV by the time I was through.ManInRed said:
Dragon age 2 it was just really boring and the story wasn't interesting the characters were bland the environments were bland everything was just rushed.
Got through 3 hours and stopped as opposed to my DA:O save 4 saves each 100+ hours.
Haven?t picked it up since I got so many other good games at to play at the moment after I finish my vacation.

Oh and San Andreas got to the fourth last mission then I dropped my computer Im trying to play though again but It?s just such a long hard game
The only game that I just couldn't bring myself to finish was Dante's Inferno. I tried to like it, I really did. I love Visceral Games and I thought they did some really interesting things with the game, but I just got to a point where I realized I didn't care about what I was doing and I just couldn't be bothered to keep trying to grind through it.
Conversely, I haven't finished Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood because I keep getting distracted by other games. I really need to go back to that...
