If you can't beat the game - if you can't solve the puzzle, you're nothing but a loser.

I'm a renter, so MANY.

But the two significant ones are [PROTOTYPE] and Saint's Row 2.

Which is sad, I loved them both... also, the cinematography in SR2 was AMAZING.

And jumping from building to building effortlessly = fun, always.

Koudelka, everything about the game sucks, the voice acting, the music, the pacing, the graphics (thought it was a PS1 game so that's forgiveable), the gameplay and whatever I've missed. The only redeeming features were the story and characters, though I intend to go back one day and finish it, one day.

LoZ: A Link to the Past, I got very far through the game, then got to the dungeon with the boss with loads of eyes, it's too difficult to get from the start of the dungeon to the boss with enough life or magic power to beat him.

LoZ: Phantom Hourglass, awkward controls and that boring Temple of the Ocean King.

Resistance 2, got as far as the part with the bridge and there's these flying robot things with enrgey shields that I can't kill before they kill me.

Morrowind = ABSOLUTE SHIT, HOW THE HELL CAN ANYONE CONSIDER THAT GAME TO BE GREAT WHEN I COULDNT EVEN FUCKING HIT A STUPID RAT GNAWING AT MY FEET!!!?

Gotta go with this, I kept getting killed by damned rats in some lady's basement because apparently swinging a sword isn't enough in that game.

I could never work the combat either - it just didn't ever seem like the weapon was effecting the enemy at all.

If anyone knows of a mod or something, it'd be helpful...

 

[Tears of Blood]

There are a few games from previous generations that I can think of never beating, but none of this one.

EDIT: Okay, I lied. I still haven't done EVERYTHING in Fable 2, Fallout 3, and Oblivion, but otherwise no.

Final Fantasy XII. However, I have good reason for this. I'm a sucker for game plots, especially big overarching ones like pretty much any FF plot, ever. So I want to try and finish FF XII in one period of time, i.e. playing it every day or every couple of days until I finish it, so then I get all the story together and don't end up confused when I put it down and then pick it up a month later and think "WTF? Where am I now?". However, it's a PS2 game. The PS2 in my family is specifically a family console, whereas the Xbox 360 is my own. So when I'm at university, I can bring the Xbox 360 with me but the PS2 stays at home. So I can only play FF XII when I'm home for holidays, which is about a month at Christmas, a month at Easter, and three months over summer. Since I often have several games on the go at once, plus various other projects and jobs to do at home, plus my parents don't like me playing games for hours on end without a break of at least three or more hours, I can't simply spend full days grinding to complete FF XII in any of these breaks. Yes, even the summer holidays. So as a result, I end up making it some distance in the game, leaving for university, then coming home and having to start again because I don't know what's going on. I'll probably end up not bothering to finish it until I graduate, which will be in 2011 at the very earliest. Thank God FF XIII is on Xbox 360 as well...

Hitman: Contracts for the PS2 I have yet to complete. I am absolute ass at stealth games like this. I try for a while, I really do, but most of the time I just say "fuck it" and machine gun the whole place and hope to God I hit my target. Also, the game is too damn dark. I don't mean dark as in the dark and depressing tone (which the game does have), I mean as in I couldn't see a fucking thing half the time.

 

[Jekken6]

Dead Space, because of getting stuck/distracted.

GTA4, because I'm not supposed to have it, so i barely get to play it.

UFC Undisputed 2009, due to the obscenely high jump in difficulty. same for Lost Planet.

Dark Sector, got bored, might return to it though.

Fallout 1 and 2. The gameplay is so fucking dull and frustrating.

STALKER:SoC, because of a bug that crashes if i try to save at a certain location.

Morrowind, because of other games.

Brothers In Arms: Earned In Blood, because I'm stuck.

 

[chromewarriorXIII]

Sonic and the Secret Rings. There was this one level where you had to go forward and get all the rings that you could. Then you had to go backwards (and the camera view didn't change) and get even more. On top of that you had to do this a couple of times. Plus the crappy controls that made you tilt the controller forward to move forward made it even worse.

 

[Chronarch]

I never finished:
1. Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly - From what I remember I developed a hate for it for no reason.

2. Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door - I got up to the final boss and quit for no reason that I can recall.

3. Super Mario 64 - I could never beat that final Bowser battle. I could never throw him far enough to touch the mines when he changed the arena into a star shape.

4. Spiderman 3 Wii - I couldn't get into the control scheme so I never played past about 20 minutes.

 

[badgersprite]

Sometimes I don't beat games, just because I'm ADD and lose interest in it, but I usually do finish a game. I don't give up on games because they're too hard. I'll give up if the game fails to make me care about what's going on with the characters.

Then again, there are some games I won't finish because I don't want them to end; I'll play through games over and over and over again, but I won't get to the end, because I have a sneaking suspicion because someone I care about is going to die, and I want to bury my head in the sand and pretend that isn't going to happen. =P

 

[ajb924]

Final Fantasy.

Tried 2 of them, got bored very fast and got buyer's remorse.

I really, really don't get JRPGs.

Really? Which two?

It takes a while to get into some of them.

One was Final Fantasy vII chrono trigger on the PSP

The other was the one with that annoying whiney blonde jock as the main character, he played some form of air football in between being irritating and spouting atrocious dialogue.

I think it was 10 or 11.

Played it for 4-5 hours before finally admitting to myself that I hated it.

You mean FFVII Crisis Core.
Chrono Trigger is the fucking shit.

OT:
Mario Sunshine: It got boring.
Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories: Card=NO
The Biaten Kiatos (SP) games
Any Ratchet & Clank games between the first and size matters.
Fracture: Good concept, bad gameplay

That's about it. Usually if I get bored I cram beat something...

Half Life 2.
I finished the first one and loved it. The sequels just ruined the game for me.

How so?

Just didn't feel any need to keep playing. The original had this massive base which had you pretty much just trying to escape and that's it. I just wanted to get to the end to see if he does escape death from either the human soldiers or the aliens.

In this one, I don't understand why he is doing any of this. Yes, I understand it is the same thing. He is just trying to escape but there is all these people that seem to now him but I don't know them. Barry could be the HL:BS cop and I guess I can understand how he got away but how did the others get away? The white and black scientists got either nuked or killed by all the aliens/soliders/crumbling base.

I don't know...I just stopped playing and felt no interest to start playing again. I have tried playing the episodes out of order to garner interest and that didn't work for me.

Now if they made a Portal 2 ... I would be interested.


... played the Fracture demo and the game made me not want to play the game. I don't think I even finished the demo. From watching the trailer beforehand, I thought it was gonna to give the ability to alter the environment anywhere. But when I'm not allowed to do that then your powers just become an switch like a door knob or light switch.

 

[Optimus Hagrid]

Chrono Trigger. I just didn't find it that interesting. I also found it pretty yawn-some.
