Games you've just stopped playing.

[thethingthatlurks]

Master of Orion 3. I love 4x games, but there was just something very wrong about the following:
I was around 10 hours into a game on the largest map, and I got pretty bored after massacring the 50th fleet my arch-nemesis sent into a fortified border system. Then there was the matter of my ally declaring war on me, sending his fleet to be slaughtered, surrendering, working his way back to alliance (yep, the AI requested an alliance, repeatedly), only to do the same thing again. I'm not sure if that was just an AI glitch, but it stopped being funny after the second time...
Then there was Fallout 3. Dunno, after finishing about 3/4 of the main quest and exploring almost all of the map, I just felt that I've seen everything. It was fun, but it couldn't hold my interest

Mass Effect. I got to the first planet thing, played around for a bit, and something about it made my brain go "Put it down. Put it down now and never play this again".

Come to think of it, I've never finished a Final Fantasy.

Conclusion: I always stop playing RPGS. J or otherwise.

EDIT: Also, Elder Scrolls, Fallout 3, LittleBigPlanet, Half-Life 2 (got busy with another game, I'll eventually finish it), any fighting game ever.

I have never finished a GTA title, although I plan to finish GTA IV (My Niko Bellic looks like a secret agent) when I have time. Sadly, I gave up on Psychonauts recently, I bought it when it was on Steam's Midweek Madness for 2 bucks (!!!). I played Halo 3: ODST for about 4 hours and put it down. Forever.

 

[Orange Monkey]

every Final Fantasy game i've ever played. Borderlands, Legend Of Zelda Majoras Mask/Ocarina of Time.

 

[MetaKnight19]

Valkyria Chronicles. I don't know why, I was really set on buying it and I found it used in my local GAME store. Got to chapter 5 I think then for no reason I stopped playing.

Another game is Ninja Gaiden 2, although that was due to a colossal amount of rage at a boss fight, I kept having to start with about three quarters of a health bar and one healing item. It didn't help that the camera that was more interested in the ceiling than the battle.

 

[Caligulove]

Before beating it?
Modern Warfare 2. I had a good day of playing the single player and multiplayer with a friend around December and then just never really picked it up again- until my roommate got it and even then I stopped playing after the estate mission.

Other games included in that would be, MGS3, Banjo-Kanzooie, Gears of War, Halo 2, Mercenaries... a lot of SNES games, I'm sure, Nightfire, Goldeneye

 

[Shepard's Shadow]

Prey. I finished about 6 missions and then stopped playing, I thought: "Hmm. This game blows." Mainly it was the protagonist I didn't like, but overall, I feel it could have been a lot better then it was.

 

[SLy AsymMetrY]

I had recently stopped playing Dragon Age. Struggling to get into it. Would start a character, level up a few times. Stop and start a new game. Done this a few times now. Its a great game, just not sure I like the controls.

 

[Tanfastic]

Metroid Prime. I love it but just can't bring myself to play it...

 

[Grey_Focks]

every final fantasy ever. I just get sick of the grinding. I think I'm good enough for the boss, I try, he kills me, I go grind, try again, DIE again, and never play the game again.

 

[veratixx]

Demon's souls: sick of dying
Every mario/sonic/crossover I ever owned: almost always the same
Fable: not much of a challenge imo..
Fallout 3: wasn't really fun
Final Fantasy II: one wrong step and you're battling enemies 20 levels above you.
Final Fantasy XII: stopped just before the last boss, licences bored me/I was overpowered.
Final Fantasy X-2: this game shouldn't exist
Legend of Zelda-Majora's Mask: stupid moon...

and probably some more, these were the ones that first came up.. =)

EDIT:
Assassin's Creed: the traveling took too long and you always had to do the same.

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

Has anyone here just stopped playing a game and never played it again? It could be unfairness, boredom, anything really. For me it was Brutal Legend with the fight against Ophelia, bloody Reapers.

Same for me. I just couldn't finish Brutal Legend

Most games that aren't ArmA2

 

[Deviltongue]

Mass Effect 2 on insanity. Too be fair I've really stopped playing 360 altogether(Replaced with the more portable DS), I only really play it when my friends are over.
