Games you just fucking gave up on.
 
Because they were horrible, too hard, too boring, any reason counts!

I've really been trying to play Morrowind, trying really hard. I had somewhere around 30 mods running, and even with all that, I really can't get past the fact that it's a completely abysmal, boring, unentertaining piece of shit. Playing Oblivion for real for the first time earlier today really sealed Morrowind's fate for me. Even unmodded, I was able to have infinitely more fun in about an hour playing that than I've had during all my 15+ hours hours wasted on Morrowind.

Fuck you, Morrowind, you are the worst game in the entire world. I sort of like your story, and wish you were just a book. You'd probably suck a lot less!

crime life gang wars the controls were awful and graphics worse

Emu Mar 25th, 2008 12:58 AM

I'm about to give up on Ys III. This game is fucking hard.

Supafly345 Mar 25th, 2008 01:04 AM

I give up on nothing. I have a disease.

executioneer Mar 25th, 2008 01:36 AM

i gave up on tengen's gauntlet for NES, it just gets too goddamn hard near the end :(

DuFresne Mar 25th, 2008 01:36 AM

I've never finished a single RPG besides Chrono Cross (and Pokemons Blue and Gold if those even really count). What's sad is that I really enjoy most of the Final Fantasies I have, but for some reason I always reach a point where I get bored and tell myself "eh, just play another game for a few days, then come back to this," but then I just never regain the willpower to pick up where I left off. But these days I don't even bother with RPGs at all because I know I don't have the time.

Actually, Chrono Cross is the only Playstation RPG I've ever even gotten to disc 2 on. :x

Edit: oh, I usually finish Zelda games, though, if those count as RPGs.

I don't know what the hell version you're playing, but my PS copy of Chrono Trigger only has one disc.

DuFresne Mar 25th, 2008 02:07 AM

Damn, how'd I fuck that up? I meant Cross. Oh well, edit time!

ElPila666 Mar 25th, 2008 02:20 AM

The only Final Fantasy that i finished was Dirge of Cerberus. I'm stuck in Final Fantasy X dragon thing that attacked you in the airship, i already made like 7 attemps, i think i gonna quit it. I can't even use a cheat disc on my PS2 :(

Guitar Woman Mar 25th, 2008 02:41 AM

Oh, yeah, Silent Hill 2.

I probably would have finished it despite how much I don't like anything about it, but I got bored wandering around the prison looking for the last sin tablet to put in the plaque under the noose and then just didn't play it again

Chojin Mar 25th, 2008 04:46 AM

condemned, but that was after the first stage ;<
bioshock, after a few hours
half life 2, after 4 hours
stranglehold, after the parking garage scene, due to the 360's awful controls for that game
duke nukem 3d, after realizing the level design was terrible
morrowind, after getting the star of nerevar or something ;<
oblivion, at various points (reformats usually kill my oblivion games due to all the mods not being the same)
countless mmos
ninja gaiden 2 after that wind stage jesus christ what the fuck
mario 64, about 40 stars in

pretty much my life has been an endless succession of failed gaming attempts!

executioneer Mar 25th, 2008 06:33 AM

i don't think mmos count for this, cause you can't WIN them

Dommin Mar 25th, 2008 07:13 AM

Ninja Gaiden for the NES. That last boss raped me. Many, many, many times. I have nightmares about it sometimes.

Esuohlim Mar 25th, 2008 08:33 AM

I never finished Twilight Princess, because I had already completed everything else except the very last boss and I thought "well this is it anyway".

This goes for countless other games as well. In fact I don't think I've ever 100% finished a game in the last 10 years.

GADZOOKS Mar 25th, 2008 08:45 AM

With the exception of freeware games and emulators now and then, I've given up on videogames in general :(

MetalMilitia Mar 25th, 2008 09:24 AM

Why is guitar woman ALWAYS complaining about how she has been playing some game for several hours and hates it?

Here is a pro gamer tip for your GW: If you've played a game for a couple of hours and completely hate it don't bother playing anymore. Even more importantly; shut up about how much you hate it because no one cares.

No one is forcing you to play anything and I sincerely doubt you bothered to pay for it, so you're not going to be out of pocket if you delete it.

Kitsa Mar 25th, 2008 09:32 AM

I gave up on Friday the 13th for NES when I was a little kid because Jason coming at me in the water scared the hell out of me. I don't know why.

Fat_Hippo Mar 25th, 2008 11:45 AM

I finish less than half the games I start, mostly because I get bored. I have a short attention span.

You've just got to grind for a bit to gain a few levels, and use the downward jumping stab to kill tougher enemies.

And seriously, GW, stop play game in the Elder Scrolls series. And once you've stopped, don't start again.

Sam Mar 25th, 2008 12:04 PM

I give up on pretty much every game I play. Then months or years later I go back to it and decide I have no idea what is going on or what I am supposed to be doing, so I delete my save games and start all over again, only to abandon it in a couple of weeks. :(

The best example of that is Vagrant Story. I have restarted that at least 5 times.

Guitar Woman Mar 25th, 2008 12:38 PM

Morrowind is the first game in a few years that I acutally bought, that gives me the right to be ANGRY :<


Also, as I said before, I like the universe it's set in. It is INTERESTING. It's something I want to go and explore and would be totally great if the game wasn't awful :<

It's sort of like, if an INCREDIBLE TREASURE were hidden deep within the flesh of my right leg, and if I got ahold of it it would be wonderful and make all my dreams come true, and all I have to do is cut the fuck out of my leg to get at it. Then I start to do that and am like, "this is terrible, why am I doing this."

But also the treasure is really boring and colorless and I probably actually wouldn't care anyway.

bigtimecow Mar 25th, 2008 12:55 PM

NiGHTS journey of dreams: i ended up trading this in towards brawl so it would only cost 10 bucks, but yeah, i really tried to like this game. the visuals were nice and the control scheme (no, not the wiimote one) was somewhat fun, but the artificial time limit was annoying. there was absolutely no reason for me to only have 120 seconds to destroy some dragon mouth floor disappearer that bursts into little bubbles that i have to fly around in circles to destroy.

but then again, maybe the entire game doesn't really make sense :/

Noodles Mar 25th, 2008 01:11 PM

I gave up on trying to beat Resident Evil 4 for the fifth time.

Chojin Mar 25th, 2008 02:08 PM

Oh yeah, same as esuohlim I quit Twilight Princess, but I did it on like the second dungeon because I couldn't see a fucking thing. LTTP is to date the only zelda game I've played, liked, and beaten. Since that had an overhead view, you could actually see all of the elements of the puzzles you were trying to solve, but in Twilight Princess I just couldn't find anything and kept missing jumps and falling into lava. And it was just cripplingly boring.

Also Willie I count failing at MMOs to be not getting to the level cap. Which I've never done, so maybe I need to set a new standard for myself :< Closest I ever got was hitting the level 40 cap on City of Villains, but they raised it to the City of Heroes 50 cap and I never got that :<

Esuohlim Mar 25th, 2008 02:11 PM

Ocarina of Time is in my top-five favorite games and I've never bothered to defeat Ganondorf.

Spoilers!
