I love RPG's but I hate making choices because I want to do everything! I have yet to beat ME1 and won't play ME2 til its done, but its so difficult because I hate choosing who to have on my squad cuz I want to see all the relationships. That and I always take forever to select perks in Fallout and terrible in deciding my skill tree. If it is a good game i don't mind palying through again but sometimes it does not seem worth it. That and I am extremely ADD with games, but I usually come back around to them eventually.
I stopped playing final fantasy 13 because after seventy hours of playing the game, my characters were still not strong enough to face the final boss. I wouldn't mind backtracking, if it weren't for the fact that i racked up those seventy hours of game time within a two week play period.
Had that problem with Golden Sun 2 for a while. There was a little ledge you could jump across about half an hour before Piers joins your party that I for some reason never really noticed. So I had a hugely over-levelled party for most of the game as a result of spending waay longer than necessary on the game's opening...tomtom94 said:
I stopped playing Timesplitters 2 because I was afraid of the zombies in the game. Then again, I think I was somewhere around 9 years old, so... I don't know, I just didn't like them.
I stopped playing Oblivion because I didnt realize you could fast travel right away without having to visit the town first (I played Fallout first), and I wandered off somehow, tried to get on a horse, and was murdered. Ive tried to play it since, and I cant seem to get interested, even though I know its a good game.
Fable III. Right at the end too. I loaded it up and my save file had corrupted. There was no way in hell I was playing through that crap again.
And DA2. I was doing another playthrough and decided to be FemHawke. And that was the day I discovered I couldn't stand FemHawkes voice. :/

I temporarily stopped playing Harvest Moon: A Wonderful life on the gamecube because my memory was wiped by my silly friends who deleted the save file because they were pretending to be hyper. I was in the last chapter of it, I was very rich and had every upgrade to the farm and all the tools. I couldn't pick it up again until 7 months later.
I also temporarily stopped playing Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem because I only got to play on it an hour after I bought it, and for some weird reason it really put me off the game. I've started playing that again though, it is amazing.

Usually just hit a brick wall. Either a difficulty spike or sheer boredom.
Assassin's Creed II was the latter. I was loving it, played it every chance I got, thought about it when I wasn't playing it. Got to Rome and a switch in my head just flicked to 'Bored'.
Tried AC:II: Brotherhood, but cannot find any enthusiasm for it.

Fallout 3: GOTY edition for PS3.
Okay, nice game and all, but GOTY edition port on the PS3 sucks like a bucket of ticks.
I always knew exactly how long I would play the game: till it crashes on me! So, despite all its flaws, I kept playing the damn thing, sometimes filled with joy, sometimes filled with frustration. I managed to finish the main quest (and most - if not all - of the side quests) and I had begun working my way through the first expansion. Alas, the damn thing crashes again simply because I went into V.A.T.S. mode and I quit. And I mean quit, I had enough of it.
But, you know, almost a year later, you check your collection again for games yet to be completed. So I see Fallout sitting there, staring at me. So I picked it up, put it in and... For the life of me I can't remember what I am supposed to do. I was in the middle of nowhere, far away from any mission. I was probably looking for something (a bobblehead maybe?), I didn't remember the armor I was wearing and I had no clue where I was in the story.
So I just quit because I was oblivious on everything that had happened. (Maybe the game just didn't leave enough of an impact on me, I mean, I can't still recall pretty much every event from a game like, say, Final Fantasy IX.)

TimeSplitters 2? HOLY CRAP, I LOVE THAT GAME!ajofflight said:
Funny you should mention it, because a couple of days ago, I decided to put that old disc into my PS2, even though last time I tried it was scratched to the point of unplayability. But then, lo and behold, it worked! On some levels, like 1932 Chicago, 1972 Atom Smasher and the Hanger and Chasm arcade levels, the music skips, but other than that it works fine.Yeah, the Feeder Zombie and the Sewer Zombie are a bit freaky, but it's still a damn fine game. Better than Future Perfect in my opinion.
Stopped playing Devil May Cry 3 on the PC 'cause:
a) it was a horrible port. I was using a gamepad to play it and the analog sticks were reversed (right one was for moving and left was for camera). The keyboard was even worse and for some reason the game refused to let me change the button set-up.
b) later on in the game I thought I had to defeat a certain boss (Nevan) again and I blatantly refused to since said boss was a real pain the first time I fought her.
A year later I picked up the game again and finished it. Great game but whoever ported it to the pc deserves a good beating. Ugh...

That's too funny. I laughed at having no morale when making mankind pay in blood, but your virtual son not getting anything nice...The Virgo said:
I have stopped playing several games, for various reasons, but none have been as strange as OP's. I have stopped playing games if I cannot invert x and y. I can play a game without inverting as long as I can play at my own pace. But if it's an FPS (for example) where I'm required to play in the middle of war and I cannot just hide on a rooftop and snipe, I get nauseated. Seriously. If I have to run, aim and try to soot, I can't do it if I can't invert. I run at the walls like a drunken monkey, shoot at comrades or aim at the sky. After a couple of hours of running into everything there is to run into, having died a thousand times due to my lack of aiming and seeing the same scene more times that should be allowed, I throw the game to my shelve and let it be. I hate games that don't give me the option to invert...
I stopped playing Batman: Arkham Asylum once it let me out into the world and realized it was open world. I went "I have no time for this open-ess! I have school and junk to do!" So I returned it to Gamefly and got something more linear that I wouldn't need to spend as much time on.
I did go back and finish that game this summer when I had more time.

I stopped playing Fallout 3 and took a hiatus from New Vegas due to a bug where my quicksaves and autosaves sometimes decide not to happen and I lose progress because I don't do full saves that often. It sucks because I've yet to find a resolution for it.
Also, in every game where I've played a female character (Mercenaries, Fallout, etc.) I lose intereset. I just stop playing. It's kinda weird.

I don't recall which game it was but I know one of the more petty reasons I quit a game was because I couldn't rebind controls and the preset ones were too awful for me to tolerate.
