yeah but you only have to close those gates to get the extra soldiers and help that the towns offer to help close the great gate. Also, the Great gate is piss-easy too take care off therefore making the other gates completely pointless to close.TOGSolid said:
Super Ghouls and Ghosts. I spent hours trying to get through that fucking game and god knows how many lives, i finally make it to the second to last level or whatever and the princess tells me that in my hours of trial and error i had missed the hidden amulate and so i had to go back and get it. Then the game sends me back to level one...no, Fuck that noise, that is unreasonable.
Metal Gear Solid 2. Only played this for the first time recently, and I have to say it was the most frustrating experience I've had with a game in years! I got all the way to fighting Dr Octopus as Cyborg Ninja on that roof, gave it a few goes and gave up. I just don't think that game offered enough rewards to justify the rise it caused in my blood pressure.
Every Final Fantasy between Tactics Advance and 13 non-inclusive because they seriously sucked (13 was a huge surprise). While the games didn't get particularly difficult, I'd consider having experienced what I did of them as being dicked over.
Crysis, because I only got it for the sake of testing my computer (it was a triumph) and aside from the ball-busting requirements it's just another nothing-special FPS. I was all excited, but it's essentially just an incredibly well-polished turd.

C'mon, if I can do it, you can do it. Just keep at it - how far did you get, by the way?supertoast099 said:
On topic: I gave up on Twilight Princess and Metroid Prime 3, both for the same basic reason - motion controls really piss me the hell off. After the 12th time Link wouldn't swing his sword because I wasn't wagging my wrist correctly, or the tenth stupid door in Metroid I had to slowly pull out, twist, and then push back in, I gave up and longed for the Gamecube days where I could enjoy each series without this gimmicky garbage trying to force immersion.
"Ooo look Samus is aiming where I'm pointing! It's cuz I'M SAMUS! Hur hur hur" I'd rather have an interesting story to pull me in, instead of the fact that I have to do work every 2 minutes...
And speaking of interesting stories, FF12 doesn't have one. I played that game for hours and hours, only to realize that I didn't really care. I actually liked a few of the characters, but the pacing and story of the game eventually just bored me to tears.
Operation Flashpoint 2. Around the fourth mission. Because I just realized, I'm playing a horrible alpha build here.
Max Payne. After a nasty save issue that kept me respawning into certain fall-related death.
Modern Warefare 2 Multiplayer. When I just realized, we don't really enjoy this anymore, we just keep playing it (me and friends).
Descent 3. After I realized it made no sense whatsoever and not even my guidebot knew where it was going.

Those two goat things in Hera's Garden. Fuck those and whoever decided to make them impossible to kill.Thunderhorse31 said:
Prince of Persia 1 - it was a great game but too hard to really get into since I only had a friend's PC to play it on.
Oblivion - Yeah, what repetitive piece of crap that game was... I mean, even the voice acting was repetitive.
Fable - Dunno why, I just played it once for several days and never went back to finish it.
Black & White - First, I found a way to "break" the game by painting myself into a corner, so to speak. Second, the game bugged out half way through and I just gave up.
MMO's - I really want to like them but I just don't, so I've never made it to the "end game content" in any of them.

Painkiller. Really fun but quickly unforgiving, but that's not why i stopped, one level i spent ages trying to kill the dudes without losing a ton of health every 2 seconds, then i found out that i accidentally caused a glitch which makes it impossible to finish the level, can't be bothered to start again...
