Final Fantasy 13 - Couldn't even make it to the beginning of the third chapter I didn't even feel like I was playing for fun. It felt like I was just trying to reach the next point which never has happen to me before when I play a game.
Rogue Galaxy - I loved that game and I still do but that damn weapon synthesis was a major pain in the ass for me.
A-are you me?
No, seriously. That's why I couldn't get into those games. I have them both, me being a FF fan and a sucker for space pirates. But playing FFXIII seemed more like a task unlike the other FF games I've played and Rogue Galaxy was too tedious. Shame, really.

That's actually very helpful! I'm not playing on Nightmare but... get the feeling I'm playing the game wrong. I'm lv. 15 and getting my butt kicked at the entrance of the Frostback Mountains. I only have 10 healing potions and stupid Wynne, my healer, just got butthurt and left my party.
I'm playing as a Warrior because, honestly, I hate Mages. Except for Morrigan. She's just awesome.
I wish there was a way to kind of grind in this game...other than going back and forth all over the map.
OT: I'm not the kind of person that gives up easily. I've toughen up some games without even thinking that I could have quit at any moment (GoW, DMC, Viewtiful Joe, etc). But now that I got school and a job, I just can't afford to tough it up.
So as of lately Dark Souls did it for me. I know the game is meant to be hard but come on! The first character you encountered at the beginning of the game at the graveyard/summit kept killing me over and over again because I accidentally attacked me. Then I got my friend to help me. I was trying to tough it out even though I was fed up with the game's bullshit punishing system. What finally broke me was when I was just exploring the place, minding my own business with my friend and another random character when I noticed someone invading my world. I was a newb at that point, mind you, since I had only been playing for like an hour or so. So this guy comes out of nowhere and starts attacking me. My friend tried to help me, him being a badass at the game, but he couldn't because that stranger chased me, killed me and left like the dick that he was.
Again, I know it was the point of the game but that did it for me. I enjoy a challenge but that was just dumb. I promptly returned the game after that.
And I guess if we're going for games that broke me in the sense that they were just too boring/tedious, then:
-Final Fantasy XIII (I like the story. But I kinda wanna play at some point too. For that matter, every FF game I've played with the exception of FFVIII. I try to complete every single sidequest but I end up giving up at some point. See: FFXII)
-.Hack: Infection
-The Jungle Book (SNES)
-Half Life 2
-Resident Evil 5
That is all.
