I completely agree with you there dude, and yet I absolutely love Red Dead Redemption to the point where I've played through it 3 times now.DSD12 said:

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time - I've got to the point where you become an adult and a bit further before I gave up on the game, i just could not find any fun in that game.
Knights of the old republic, Neverwinter nights, Baldur's gate, Dragon age, planescape: torment, Final Fantasy - none of theese i could pull through long enough to find fun, i would have blamed the fact that i don't like turn based games, but i picked up my old Chrono Trigger disk a week ago and found it really fun, so i have no idea what the problem with those games is for me, but i could bare through any of those games to reach the end.

Resonance of Fate.
I'm 30 HOURS in that game and I LOVE THE CHARACTERS. Story is kinda confusing but gameplay is tatical as well as action-y and it can be quite fun!
But the GRINDING. OH THE HOURS I SPENT AT THAT ARENA JUST GRINDING TO GET MY LEVELS HIGH ENOUGH.
Usually, I don't mind grinding much if the game doesn't require you to go up many levels. But this game has grinding has a core mechanic. The characters keep getting kicked out of the party so when they return, they are usually 8 or more levels behind and then I have to go to the area and do a shit load of grinding to catch them up.

I actually liked FF8. FF7 and FF8 are my 2 favorites of all time. So I guess I am in the minority.Pariah164 said:
But for me... The game I couldn't play/Finish was FF Tactics. Screw that game. It was so boring to me...I know a lot of people love it but I just couldn't get into it... I don't know why.
For the second time, I tried to play The Darkness on my PS3.
For the second time I didn't make it past the first hour. The storytelling and characters seemed to be pretty good, but jesus the controls were terrible. It takes something special to make a FPS work on a console, and this game does not have it.

Lets see...I never finished Harry Potter 1 (on the Game boy advanced or the Playstation but I did get the last stage in the playstation one.
I also did not finish Sonic the hedgehog (the werewolf one)
I only have to beat the final secret boss of sonic heroes
and also due to a loop hole in what finishing a game means Super Paper Mario I did not finish either pit of 100 trials (dieing on level 99 is one of the most painful things a gamer can experience.

Afro Samurai. I loved the game, but couldnt beat the first boss of the empty seven...at that town.
it's like the 1st serious boss in the game, after the 2 mini-bosses...the sword master and the daimyo. they were easy.
but yea, point being, i couldnt beat the first boss, got sick of the game since i had to watch the same fucking cinematic 100 times and start the fight from scratch, and then went "bleh...im sorry, im a loyal fan but...bleh...cant do it anymores."

Vanquished.
I love the game..No, I adore that game..I just can't beat it. I have no series reason why.

I have never finished a single Zelda game I started. I find them tedious. It got a lot more tedious when it went to 3-d.
GTA IV - Crap main character,annoying stereotype friends,dull story and crap controls.Gave up about three quarters of the way through the story and never went back
FarCry 2 - Bloody respawning enemies,enemies who attack on sight even when you're working for their faction,shitty weapons which jam after a couple of shots(funny how they never jam when the enemies are using them),massive empty map which takes age to get anywhere,driving anywhere means you have to pass through at least 3-4 checkpoints full of enemies who attack on sight,malaria which forces you to do shitty side missions,having to sit through those same bloody animations(pulling bullets and fixing cars)constantly.I'm sure there is more I'm leaving out.Put about 10 hours into the game and then traded it in
Half Life 2 - Just couldn't see what was supposed to be so great about this game.Put a couple of hours in and then quit out of boredom
Viking:Battle for Asgard - Got stuck on the final boss which is a shame as it's a game I quite enjoyed
