Tried to justify Lord of the Rings: The Third Age. Gave up on the "it's fun to see the story from a different view" and never beat it (I think that's the only game I've ever just stopped playing).
FFVII Dirge of Cerberus. However, I didn't TRY to justify this game. I DID. FVII=must play/watch/own for me. I knew it wasn't going to be great, X-play's review of it confirmed that, the controls where difficult, the story was...wierd, but the fact that it was a continuation of VII's plot and characters was enough justification for me. (So now people start saying I have no taste, right? I'm new at this.)
