As gamer many of us come to this point in our life. There is a fantastic game which we absolutely love, we play the shit out of them, over and over even if there is nothing to unlock but the simple enjoyment of the experience.
It started with something going wrong on my laptop while I was trying to connect to a TF2 match, I thought screw it and just rebooted the whole machine. In boredom I turned to my PS3 and looked at the list of games which I had lost interest in playing, among them was the fine work of art that is named Metal Gear Solid 4. I had played this game over more times then I could count so I thought to myself why not ? I loaded a save file and continued an old play through, after 30 min in I remembered why I stopped playing this game(I stopped playing after a gaurd shot Old Snake to death while he was hiding in a dumpster). Not because I knew how to beat it or that there was nothing left for me to uncover but because the saved file I had made a while ago was on the highest difficulty, it was so challenging it was more about patience then actual skill. That is my reason to stop playing MGS4 , because the difficulty I had it saved on was too high and I don't wish to bother with starting a new save on lower difficulty.
Yahtzee once made a point on how games should allow you to change difficulty at anytime, he was damn right.
My question what was the great game you loved and stopped playing ?
