What I mean by that, is there a game that you would have given up on, but refused to admit defeat to because it was stupid or whatever your reason was?
For me, it'd be Killzone 3. I don't know why I bought it when there were plenty of tasty gamecube or ps2 games at my local Play&Trade (If you don't know who they are look them up, great game selection at a lot of their stores even all the way back to the cartridge era) but for whatever reason I got it. I came home and started playing it finding it to be decent, then pretty good, then I don't know what happened. All the sudden I just got sick of the game and hated it. Most likely after the stealthy section as I felt it was almost a cheap knock off of Call of Duty 4's "All Ghillied up" mission. The cover didn't work half the time as you just sort of poked your head out of it all the time, still taking damage, and the enemies just never seemed to want to die. I don't know if there was some feature I was missing to have my guy duck his head down a tad bit more, or if my aim was really bad (I like to think of myself as a pretty good fps player, and a really good one in the single player mode of fps games) or I was just missing some crucial thing about the guns or enemy weak points or if it was the difficulty setting. The game just annoyed the heck out of me on so many fronts. But for what ever reason I forced myself to finish it. I don't know why I did, the final mission was basically a rail shooter, and the low gravity section, which could have been a fantastic way to make me forgive the bad cover in the game didn't work well because you couldn't shoot while floating around.
There were opportunities galore to make me forgive some of the mistakes the game made but they just were never taken. So has anything similar to this ever happened to you? And if so, share the game and story and what you didn't like about it. I'd be interested in getting someone else's perspective on Killzone because I am willing to give games a second chance.
