boredom and difficulty. Probably the latest example I can think of is Final fantasy: 4 heroes of light. I had no idea what I was doing in the story after a while, especially after they all split into separate groups (not really spoiler cos I'm talking about after first boss here) but I stopped when I got to a boss that was on top of a tree that proved too hard, which i realised I wasn't enjoying it that much.

A few things:
1: I am outnumbered 10 to one.
2: I am playing with people that I know for a fact have some sort of hack or program that increases their power.
3: I have somewhere I need to go at that very instant.

Real life, I suppose. University came around, and I just didn't have the time to finish the last 140 hours of Titan Quest.
Unlikable characters (Alpha Protocol you piece of crap) and bad mechanics (as in Epic Mickey where the camera sucked and using paint or thinner usually results in painting or thinning your feet since Mickey is a midget in the game space). Those are the two big ones I've had recently.
If I've played it too much, which is why I never play some games like Castle Crashers and Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: The Game anymore.
Pretty specific case, but when the game's changed too much. I loved Team Fortress 2 because it was balanced, everything was fair. Now what have we got? Scouts that have rapid-fire shotgun pistols, Soldiers regenerating all their health, Heavies with miniguns that are both ultra powerful and encourage camping, the list goes on.
I haven't really quit it, but when two updates after about 10 other ones since its release make someone go from two hours of day to maybe once a week, they've done something wrong.

In Okami at the moment, it's so I don't just plow through the storyline way too fast and end up with nothing to do at the end and have all the gameplay compressed into a few days.
That being said, I'm 6 hours in and just got to... Tsuta Cave, I think it was called. Something tells me I'll spend aaages on this game, it be awesome.
Usually it's just when I'm bored though

I quit playing FF13 when you get to the part were you have to kill the tower fal'cie on pulse...
when each battle starts to take more than 30 mins, enough is enough...

If I stop having fun is the main reason.
I don't get a sense of accomplishment from beating a game on any difficultly. Gears or War 2 was the first game I started trying to beat on harder difficulties. But I wouldn't have tried that if it wasn't one of my favorite games.
Also if I don't like the game/it gets annoying. Red Dead Redemption for example. Couldn't handle listening to whats his face anymore after playing through 3/4 of the game so I didn't finish it.
