How quickly have you given up?

[crudus]

I got passed the 3rd stage of Devil May Cry 4 and stopped. I stopped playing Grand Theft Auto 4 after about 3 hours. Shinobi (I think) I stopped playing when that sword started draining my life and I couldn't kill the enemies with any weapon I had.

Devil May Cry 2 didn't even last past the first stage with me.

Really? I know it is the weakest[footnote]DMC4 isn't a Devil May Cry game and if you say otherwise you deserve to be punched(no cookie for reference)[/footnote] but I felt it deserved to be finished.

 

[TheTaco007]

Just Cause 2 - 3 hours.
Dead Rising 2 - 2 hours.

 

[HGinCT14]

Bioshock 2. Never finished it and probably never will. Please make Bioshock: Infinite good.

slaughtering rat people of Blorch

why would you draw that?
zim ftw.

Definitely quit each halo game and mass effect. I gave them all fair chances, even went back to them. . . Just couldn't stay interested in halo. Mass effect I never liked... really odd I guess.

Lost Planet 2. I played about ten minutes, went "Fuck this" and played AC2.

Shadow complex- Not that it wasnt good. But I got stuck at a part about an hour in. Quit and forgot about it for a couple weeks. Jumped back in... Then couldn't remember how to sprint jump and I've never been back.

this.

played the demo "the fuck is this i dont even.."

Does the Dragon Age 2 demo count? I gave up upon seeing that I needed to create an EA account just to play the damn demo.
Seriously, EA? What the fuck?

Mass Effect 1. Too much dialogue, and the gameplay felt horrible too.

A bit like Fallout 3, but I'm actually trying to give Fallout 3 another chance.

Dragon Age VI (< 1 hour).

You definitely should come back to the game. I'm about 25 hours in and it's absolutely fantastic, even with the static battle system. It's a pretty goofy game that handles drama much better than the later Final Fantasy games.

Bioshock, Dead Space, Saints Row 2, and Assasins Creed. I stuck with Bioshock for a long time because everyone was saying how great it was, and I kept waiting for it to get good. As soon as my suspicions about Atlas were confirmed I quit and uninstalled it. Dead Space I played for about 45 minutes before I quit out of boredom and frustration at the stupid camera. Saints Row 2, my Steam account says I played it for an hour. I guess it took me that long to work out every aspect of it handles like a piece of crap. Assasins Creed I played the prologue, but then I just felt no need to play anymore, I just didn't care enough to keep going. None of these games were fun to play, (On PC at least they may have been playable on console, I doubt it with Bioshock though). Bioshock was ok for the first hour but by then the novelty of Rapture had worn off.

1) Dead Rising - Gave both games a pretty fair go actually, about 3-4 hrs. But the boss fights, and saving just still wasn't good enough for me. I gave the second one more of a chance but still annoyed the shit out of me losing hours of gameplay due to the saving system. And escorting people is just...no. Especially carrying them, paying them, leaving them behind by accident, or having them turn and shoot at you. What tha hell?!?! It wouldn't be half as bad if you didn't have to replay from so damn far back.

2) Fight Night Round 4 - Realized I couldn't map the hooks and jabs to the face buttons, and was forced into their "realistic punch motion" or whatever the hell it's called. After about 1 hour of doing hooks when I wanted jabs and jabs when I wanted hooks I turned that shit off. Curse you EA, I really really liked Round 3 :-( why take that option out? It doesn't hurt anyone!

3) Lost Planet 2 - not going to iterate this for anyone who has tried it knows why.

 

[Echo136]

Devil May Cry 3, second level, right after you leave his shop. Thats like 5 minutes of gameplay. I couldnt beat the first friggin horde of enemies outside.

Also, Bioshock 2. I loved the first one passionately but the story in the second one made my teeth grind and my computer kept crashing, and i had a sound error where the big sister violin music would keep playing. it got irritating.

 

[farq1414]

FF13 only got played it less than half n hour before I stoped. it was really bad

 

[Asuka Soryu]

FF13

Got sick of the boss Game Overing me in two hits.

Sorry, but after playing 1 and 3(I saved the worst for last), 2 just felt like a waste. That is actually pretty frightening to think about since the new DMC reboot might be around soon.

Other than that, I really didn't have much of a choice since I had bought the anniversary collection. I only wish that it didn't come with the second game.

Now I understand why my friend ignored the existence of that game. He kept saying that it didn't exist and that I was insane.

It wasn't ultra quick, but I haven't done a awful lot on Little Big Planet 2. I just can't get my act together and actually MAKE anything. I don't hate the game, it's just not my thing.

 

[Mnemophage]

I think I've played about thirty minutes of Infinite Undiscovery. The only way I can see it ever getting interesting is if the main character is stabbed thirty-two minutes into the game and replaced with a character who possesses drive, enthusiasm, any bare hint of a sympathetic trait, really.

Recently tried playing Mega Man 10's special stages. Died once. Changed games.

Shortest time? Probably Lego Indiana Jones... When I bought Xbox 360 it came with it. Gave it a try and then threw it somewhere.
