Far Cry 2. I hate it.
However, I did manage to force my way to the ending. Which sucked, I might add. The game's music still haunts me.

Being a huuuge fan of the Mass Effect series, I thought of trying Dragon Age out. It's a Bioware game...I may like it, I thought. Yeah, I had fun with it through the beginning, middle and...well that's when it stopped. Right when I named Alistair king...I found myself not CARING what happened. The archdemon is going to ravage the world? I...I don't care...this is amazing, 80 hours in and suddenly the interest is GONE. Where did it go? How did I have the patience to play the majority of the game to just LOSE IT? The game is still in my PS3, haven't played it in two weeks...I feel lazy for wanting to drop it...what do I do? T_T
Also couldn't finish Final Fantasy XIII, 'cause, well...do I need say it?

As much as I love it I haven't been able to complete BlazBlue story with every character only Ragna, Jin and Noel Vermillion and not even up to 100%.
Heaps of Online RPGs Warhammer Online and Aion I know you can't complete them but I've never gotten past the early twenties before getting bored, and the worst would be MGS 4 got wayy to frustrated was used to the Uncharted 2 control sceme so died allot.

Ephemeral Fantasia. I kept getting lost for one thing, and this made me miss out on potential party members because I took to long to get them. Worst yet, the parts where you play the guitar or whatever that instrument is. It was so random with no instructions.
I was watching the cutscene where the main guy meets like the princess of the kingdom (or whatever, can't remember the story), the dialogue says "You are inspired by her beauty" or whatever, and he pulls out his guitar. I thought it be a musical number he would do HIMSELF, but noooo...the game wants ME to pull some miracle outta my ass in trying to figure the buttons before I screw it up! It was only later that I found the practice option or something, and by that time I said "Forget this! I'm playing Devil May Cry."
Plus, I've played better looking PS1 games.

I thought it was relatively fun...for a time anyway. The dancing stuff to build up that hyper bar or whatever...that was ridiculous.Forever of the Stars said:
Games I couldn't finish:
Golden Axe: Beast Rider, just...dumb. stupid stupid game. Returned it the next day.
Darksiders: God that got boring! And a sequel is on the way! WHY!?!
Prototype: Actually I DID finish this one, and I wish I didn't. Almost as stupid and boring as Golden Axe and Darksiders. Again, sequel on the way....
Folklore: I LIKE the game. I just get bored after playing it for a few hours. Then I won't pick it up for a few months and I'll play for a few days on and off again.
There are other games I haven't finished, but not really because I feel they are bad, but because I get interested in newer games and just forget to go back. I guess those can be chalked up to boredom too, but these are the ones that stick out the most for me.
Every Final Fantasy game except VII. I usually start them up all 'Wow, this is Final Fantasy, this is going to be soo cool.' Then three hours later I just get bored with the plot or sick of the irritating characters and put it down.
I picked up Dark Void for the jet pack awesomeness, but I got about halfway through the game to this escort mission and the game kept failing me even when the dude I'm supposed to be protecting was still alive, so I never finished that.
Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, because I wanted free-roam web-slinging goodness and got a mediocre action game instead.
Oh, and Bioshock. I got it because everyone and their dog was raving about how great it was, but I could never bring myself to finish it, no matter how many times I tried. I'd get X far and just get bored.

A modern shooter takes 8-10 hours, tops. Most people can knock them off in a weekend, and the shorter ones in a single sitting.febel said:
That's when I stopped too (and I'd already done that "Holy Knight pilgrimage thing", finished the Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild, gained access to Black Soul gems and enchanting altars ... there really wasn't much left that interested me).Popadoo said:
OT: FFX-2 and the Witcher, both because of the combat. Dragon Age Origins, because of the combat (combined with that 'RPG' thing of only being able to have a single build, and that's not even getting to the limited experience thing).
Nah, don't do that. That's the only proper way to play the game. Or at least the only way I could play it, inured horror fan that I am.UltraXan said:
Hey, some people actually follow that "take a fifteen minute break every hour." deal, that tends to stretch it out a bit. Not me, of course I think my record is playing for 15 hours straight.Jason Danger Keyes said:
Psychonauts - really like the game but got stuck on the "controller snapping difficulty" of the end like Yahtzee mentioned. It will be on my bucket list.
Dragon Age - Looks great and has some really good writing but just not enough for me to do in combat. Tried twice.
Fallout 2 - Bugged. Got to the NCR fort and game crashed when I leave to do a side quest.
Crysis - not squirrelly enough to play FPS games well.

I always went out of my way to avoid completing the main story in Oblivion. When I accidentally stumbled into Kvatch, I promptly turned around and walked away.

The Witcher, I got up to the 3rd chapter and just had no motivation to finish it, the combat was boring, and to be completely honest, scaled terribly. There were enemies who I could slaughter en' mass and those who would slaughter me without a second thought. Not to mention I found the story to be paced terribly and as such I couldn't get into it.
To be honest I could rant for pages on what was wrong with that game including alchemy, spell system, level up, quest system. But I think you get the point.
Luckily I picked it up on steam for $5 or so, so it didn't bother me that much but it certainly stopped me from purchasing it's sequel no matter how good the reviews.
