final fantasy: crystal chronicles Crystal bearers.
i was nostalgic about the first one being better than average (because i had friends to co-op with) and thought they couldn't fuck it up too badly right?

no.

no map system, the combat was just awful, and the cinematics never ended. seriously, i dont want to wait 15 minutes between each actual gameplay section

for fuck's sake!

Logically, I shouldn't have played al the way through S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl.
Combat: Shit
Graphics: Shit

On to why I did play it:
Story: Decent
Cutscenes: Intriguing
Atmosphere: Fuckin' A!
Seriously, the city of Pripyat is a scary place, particularly in that big plaza in the middle.

Out of difficulty, never. I finished Guitar Hero 3 on expert, Ninja Gaiden 2 on normal, Black on expert, COD4 veteran, Halo series on Legendary, Vegas 1 and 2 on realistic. Anyone who complains games are too hard these days are wimps

Out of sheer dislike for the game, Morrowind yeah it may have been good for the day but it's brown, has a shit combat system, a lack of fast travel makes it tedious and I just can't get into it. I preferred Oblivion because the mechanics were considerably better

I also didn't finish Deus Ex but I played it far too late to enjoy it. It has not aged well but I am going to get the new one and try very hard to love it.

Final Fantasy XIII because it was shit, devoid of love and soul like the previous games. I was so hyped for it and crushed me and my childhood. Fuck you Square Enix

Lets see...
The Witcher- It was soooo hard to get into the game but when I finally did I really enjoyed it... I made it all the way to the final boss fight (the bigass mage guy) and I just simply could NOT beat him, no matter what I did.
Far Cry 2- bc that game is just a massive amount of suck all rolled into one title.
Two Worlds II- Idk, I had lots of fun at first but... fuck that game.
And
GTA: San Andreas- Bc as someone stated above... I got sidetracked all of the time stealing bus' and throwing 'nades out of the windows while banging hookers and working out.

GTA:4

The entire time I was playing I kept thinking to myself "Vice City is so much better. I should just go play that instead."

Gah! Somebody beat me to Majora's Mask! Besides New Vegas which is in my "eventually" pile of games.
And I am the only person that ENJOYED Far Cry 2?
Sure it had several huge flaws, namely the constant, ridiculous hostile A.I. and the sheer size of the map. But I always thought the idea -> story (ha) -> buddies built up to a very good ending, well I thought the last half of the game was pretty good. Maybe thats just me.

..

Oh, and I've beaten Farcry 2 three times. XD

Edit: And I forgot to add final fantasy x-2, but the only reason I could play it for more than 5 minutes was because of it's sheer stupidity

Legend of Dragoon, which kinda pisses me off, but I was on the last boss when my data was erased, and I just don't have it in me to go back through all of that shit just to do that damned fight. I'll go back eventually, but it's still a bit of a sore spot for me.

Final Fantasy 13. I'm so near the end, but I'm stuck and the story and characters (other than Sazh, he was believable) just don't hold enough interest for me to either go out and grind to get some levels and beat the part I'm stuck at (last Eidelon) or at least give it a few more shots to get past.

I don't know. I quite liked it actually but after defeating Orochi and saving the world, the story continues and a new villain pops up for some reason. Lost interest and never continued.

ONE game? PAH. I could give you FIVE, all of which are not finished due to "couldn't" "wouldn't" or "haven't".

Most prominently though, ANY METROID GAME EVER. Hell, any NINTENDO game ever...

Darksiders. It was so insipid and samey - it was all just "Face enemies, keep mashing attack button until they're dead, look for next enemy group."

Every Mega Man game I've ever played, with the sole exception of Legends/64.

1, 2, 4, 9, MM&B, X. Never beat a single one of 'em. The last levels and bosses always screw me over.

Super Meat Boy is starting to look like another one. I am stuck on the second to last level. I've almost made it a couple of times, only to die. Then I end up not being able to get past the first fucking jump despite the fact that I've cleared it 100+ times before.


Oh, and Final Fantasy XII. Too long. Too linear. Too boring.

OH, and LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring for GBA because of a stupid game-breaking glitch.

And also Dungeons & Dragons: Eye of the Beholder. But that's more because it's a crappy game.

Also Earthbound. I keep starting it, getting fairly far into and even enjoying it. But then I get sidetracked, don't play for a month and forget what's going on in the story. So I have to start over again. This process has repeated itself 3 times so far.

Red Dead Redemption

The boredom that this game exudes reached critical mass near the end, and I just couldn't for the life of my understand why I was still playing it. So I quit and never looked back.
This. How so many people claimed this as the game of the year last year I have no idea.

I usually put a game down if I loose interest, and there is a lot of those games. Some games I want to get back to at one point, like AssCreedBro and LBP2. Others I don't think I will ever touch again, like FF13 for being such a boring "game": Oh a corridor, oh still the same corridor, lets keep going straight ahead through the corri OH MY GOD GRASS PLAINS! aaand more corridors.

Wow, I'm shocked how many people said they couldn't beat FF13 due to the grind. Yet some people beat the game without using a single point of Crystiruim. That's right, beat the game, never boosting their stats nor getting any spell. Maybe there is some other reason hmmm?

Anyways, Majora's Mask, I got it from the Wii store a few days ago. After 10 years I'm finally going to beat it!

And any GTA game. Not that's their bad, I bought every GTA game from GTA3. I only do one thing in those games and that's cause chaos and destruction. Who needs story when you have rocket launchers and helpless civilians?

The first Ratchet and Clank.

Always died before the final boss one way or another.
So did I... Until I farmed 1.000.000 bolts and bought the RYNO! :D

OT: The last games I couldn't bother to finish was Brütal Legend and Yakuza 3.
Brütal Legend went from pretty fun to awful. RTS from third person perspective isn't very clever.
Yakuza 3 was just too dull. Kick some maffia boss' ass and then spend a few hours taking care of your kids problems. Over and over!
I think the ryno is 50,000 in the frist game
We're both wrong. 150.000 bolts was the cost!
Still, might as well've been a million. Took forever to get that much. :p

I never finished FFXIII. I watched cutscene after cutscene of kids going on about Snow and Serah (Is it just me, or does Snow look like he's 25 and Serah look like she's 11?). After a bunch of those, I got stuck on a boss battle. I quickly realized that I was not having as much fun as previously thought.

I also never finished Bayonetta. I couldn't stand listening to the dialogue anymore, the story confused me to tears, and the sexualization was very off-putting.

Aquaria.
I get that it's supposed to be a wide open world that allows for exploration and stuff, but it doesn't change the fact that it looks boring and takes far too long to travel around in. After spending hours just trying to figure out what the hell I was supposed to be doing I realized that I didn't care about the main character at all, the mystery was completely stupid, and that I wasn't getting anything out of the experience.
