Lack of time mostly. And when i do have time to play the game i have lost all interest in it. For that very reason i still havent beaten skyrim and i doubt that i'll even try to play deus ex HR again.
As for glitches, in dragon age 2 one of the final boss's minions turned immortal for some reason and i had no other saves, can't say that i was very pleased.

The biggest glitches I've encountered are actually the ones I've made. I started toying with the Creation Kit to make some of my own mods for Skyrim, and one of my brightest ideas I had was to make the dragons bigger. How big exactly?yeti585 said:

Don't let the relative stability shown fool you, the only reason this situation even worked was because dragons don't care about the size of the building they perch on. Things just get plain messy on the ground.

Some may recall an early patch for the game causing issues with dragons, such as causing them to spiral and fly backwards. What people probably didn't realize is that the state of dragons in Skyrim is one of very delicate balance; change any one thing, and the whole mess will explode. I didn't just replicate the glitches seen in that flawed patch, I made them ten times worse... yeah, it was quite funny.
I've experimented a fair bit since that particular mod, but dragons remain a problem. It takes very tight control of the circumstances to avoid the many glitches involved.
The final boss of Max Payne 3 is still too annoying for me. I know now that I should spam jump-shoot, but I still haven't worked up the courage or will to go back and finish it.
Bioshock and Bioshock 2 were both games I ended up taking long, long breaks in the middle of.
Stalker: Clear Sky is just a bitchy game with a terrifying disregard for save points.
Dead Island ate 4 hours of play and just wasn't exciting enough to go back.
Grand Theft Auto 4 became too repetitive and I lost interest.
Sniper: Ghost Warrior was... well it was fucking Sniper: Ghost Warrior.
I haven't finished Oblivion because I've sunk hours and hours into a character that has points in an unnecessary combat skill (thus causing the enemy leveling system to think she's a lot stronger than she is)
And lastly I didn't finish Morrowind, which I played when I got tired of Oblivion. I had just hiked miles out to reach some little middle of fucking nowhere quest location, and after having completed the quest realized I would have to walk back, and that the journey would be just as difficult without anything interesting happening at the end.

Yeah, I guess you could say I'm kind of a flake.

I seem to very rarely have bugs. Even when I'm playing Fallout 3, it's rare I get any bugs or glitches. Though I did have one on AC Revelations the other day. I was playing a later mission, when Suleiman asks you to get a Janissary armour set for an upcoming kill, and I decided to head from his balcony across the rooftops to my target. I somehow ran into a glitch that forced Ezio underneath the city, where there's apparently a massive invisible underground lake. I could swim all I liked under the city, but there was nowhere to actually come up to normal ground. Seems that he dropped through an invisible hole in a rooftop to get there, I had to restart the entire game from the previous save to fix it...

I never really cared about the affinity values or tears. But yeah, the forging system in general drove me to quit that game. When you need a guide to make decent weapons for your character, you know there's something wrong with the game.
Let's see... Usually for me I quit a game when I forget to save, or lose essentially hours of work through some means. Or if I lose enthusiasm for the game. IMO, RPGs in particular are hard to pick up after they've sat for a month.
Also, I'm not sure if Alduin was a glitch. What was your bow enchanted with? Iron arrows generally suck.
Go to the Via Infinito in Bevelle, and just work your way through the levels. You get a pretty decent amount of grinding there anyway, but at something like level 40 (out of 100), you get a boss where if you win you get the Catnip item. That makes all damage done by the wielder equal to 9999. Just give it to Yuna, make sure she has the Trigger Happy Lv 3 ability (easily gained from the previous grinding) as a Gunner, and the rest of the stor is piss easy. Kind of a cheap way of doing it, but ah well. And the side plot of the dungeon is pretty interesting too, fitting in nicely with the main plot, but you don't really have to go further than the Catnip reward dude if you don't want to. I made it to like level 80 or something before the bosses were too hard and I gave up. On the plus side, with that amount of grinding it took me about ten seconds to beat the final boss - for each of his forms - which has to be a record for me, given how tough I found Braska's Final Aeon in X. I've only beaten that time when I fought Orphan in FF13, and that was again because of silly grinding times...Lilani said:

I played the PC version, so I didn't get that kind of problem. I hear that some of the bugs are really bad on consoles.
I beat Alduin as a 2 hand melee/heavy armour character. Do you understand how hard it is to fight dragons as a melee class without dragon rend? I spend triple the amount of time required to kill one because I have to use bows given my low skill by comparison.
I also have yet to finish a Call of Duty game because I find them incredibly tedious. I'm also surprised I managed to finish Gears of War 3, it was so horribly predictable and formulaic I had to push myself to finish.
So basically the only reason I don't finish games is due to boredom attributed to being crap or unfun<--apparently not a word.

Quantum Conundrum.
The game was just too shit, and when a stupidly hard puzzle came along, I just gave up. didn't bother looking up the answer, I just gave up. I looked up the ending on youtube, which was even worse than the game.
I'm glad I didn't finish it for that.

Yeah I pretty much stopped playing when I realised it wasn't going to get any better. Which was about a quarter from the end -.-.TizzytheTormentor said:
If the story is lame (in the cases where it has a story), it really makes it difficult to muscle through to the end. I started Just Cause 2 recently and didn't get anywhere because the story was just so meh. Same with Saints Row 2. I'm playing Pikmin 2 now and I'm within $1000 of clearing the debt and I just don't care at all. What, is the gameplay going to amazingly grow and develop into something new? Is it going to be revealed that the manager is a mob boss and the whole thing was a massive crime ring?
I guess the key idea here is lack of variety. I was able to muscle through Skyrim because I liked the storylines, but now that I've exhausted everything that I want to see and I've almost maxed out archery, I can't play it anymore. I don't care about the Stormcloaks or the daedric artifacts.

I think I beat the crap out of Alduin with a Skyforge Steel Greatsword.
It really helped that the 3 hero people with me were absorbing all the damage he was dealing, he went down in about 20 seconds.
I still haven't finished Lost Planet, I got about 5 levels in, the story wasn't engaging, I hated all the characters, and the boss fights were either too difficult or too boring. So I think that's definitely the worst game I ever bought.

Shitty controls that require some level of inhuman prescience (no, I'm not going to memorize enemy location after 30 reloads - that's so 90s) to progress.yeti585 said:
Also, very shallow stories layered on non-platformers. Haven't finished Assassin's Creed because of this. I just can't get into the story, and being able to wrist-stab people doesn't cut it for me.
I don't remember any particularly notorious glitches. I don't buy a lot of games in the first place (see: shallow stories), and those I do are usually from studios that put out reasonably operable games (Valve, BioWare, Stardock, indie studios).
I dunno, arrows didn't seem to make a difference to damage output after a while. An higher level bow with some decent enchantments, some fortify archery buffs and a high skill level will do stupid amounts of damage even out of sneak, I guess to compensate for Oblivion's lackluster marksman skill. Not meaning to brag but, my level 50 has a bow that does over 300 BASE damage without a sneak bonus and I still used iron arrows, and if you're finishing the story at an earlier point in the game than that, then I'm interested to see how you went through the game as a whole.PrinceOfShapeir said:
