too human hmm where to start hay you remebe that reveiw yhatzee did and he claimed that the dev just copy-pasted each room till the processor melted 100% correct each level is about 4-7 hours long and atleast 1 of those hours is watch the same over long death animation a billion times
Games you just couldn't play/finish...

Rainbow Six Vegas 2, because of that level where they strip away the squad mechanics that made the game unique and instead sent you in to take out the enemy base all by yourself. What finally tore it was when you were in a room with no cover and many enemies with flashbangs, grenades, and shotguns camping outside the door.
Tales of Vesperia: I got about one hour in, and then decided that the ear-hemorrhaging dialogue, clunky combat, prolonged cutscenes, and immersion-shattering sound was too much to bear (electric guitar? In a medieval fantasy game?).
Far Cry 2's copious amounts of driving turned me off from the game. Permanently.

Diablo... neither the first or the second, both were boooooooring and lacked interesting story and had a too repetative grinding style gameplay for my taste.
fable 3 since it felt like the game f**ked me over when preparing for the end invasion.
Dragon age II because I was so disappointed I just couldn't finnish it.
Shadows of the colossus because... (this has cause me great embaressment, and my friends have laughed at me over and over..) I lost the colossus. I think it was the 5:th or the six:th boss, I engaged it and then I lost it, it was flying around somewhere and that stupid totem-mask thing kep telling me to shoot it with my bow, but I couldn't find the goddamn target... so I quit the game and gave it back to the friend I borrowed it from.

Uncharted - Uninspiring combat and tedious trial and error platforming.
And here's a controversial one
....Half life 2. Honestly it just dragged on for me, own the game both on Steam and in the Orange Box collection on the 360 and have still not got round to finishing it, nor do I even remotely feel motivated to do so.

Crysis 2...
Everything at the very start of that game stunk of a mediocre title being held up by good graphics. First they did the blatant Aliens drop ship scene rip-off, complete with a quote from Hudson. Then the very first achievement is self-servingly titled 'will it run Crysis'. Every little thing about that game just got on my nerves.
I managed about 10 minutes of actual game play after that before I took it back.

Killzone 2 - I don't know why but it just didn't hold my attention.
Homefront - It was as ugly as a swamp pig and had the worst hit detection I have seen in this generation of gaming. The tragic part is that the concept was so damn good. I wanted to like it, I really did but after I realized that all I wanted to do after I started the game was play something else, I decided it was time to shelf it. Maybe Ill trade it in for store credit when BF3 comes out.
Bad Company 2 single player - bleh.

Oh and forgot to add LA Noire to this. I got to the Vice desk till I decided it was far too formulaic to hold my interest, and I don't think I've ever seen a protagonist as unlikeable as Cole Phelps was. Traded it in before I even had the chance to finish it.
Fable 1, I like the fable series, played 2 and 3, but the controls for this game is the worst I've ever had to deal with. I tried on pc, died every five seconds. The dodge command and magic command had to be done fluidly on this one boss battle to keep from dying. Couldn't do it. I stopped playing after that. I rented it for the xbox, couldn't hit ANYTHING. Why were my arrows bouncing off surfaces they should have stuck on? Gonna have to just watch a playthrough of that one.
Legendary, has to be one of the the worst games I have ever played. Story was retarded and the difficulty was just massive. You have to suffer charging, high health enemies for a long time before they finally give you a shotgun. Jesus. Tossed the game at gamestop for a few measly dollars.
Dragon Age 1, played the game totally wrong. Never played team based rpgs so I never utilized my teammates often. Because of which, I found the game insanely difficult on normal and was too proud to put it on easy. The story makes it worth it to go back and play the game right though.

Mirror's Edge. Great ideas, poor execution. Tried so hard to push through, till I realized I was only playing in order to finish, and wasn't actually enjoying it.
Assassins Creed 2 - i HATE Ezio, i really can't play the game because i can't sympathize with him. I completed the first Assassins Creed in 2 sittings, i was hooked and i loved it. It just felt more authentic..im not sure if thats the right word, but the game just grabbed me. AC2 just didn't, i forced myself through 3 assassinations, then i realized i was FORCING myself to play and quit. The game felt like a chore. Unlike say Uncharted 2 which flys by and is a pleasure to play from start to finish.
COD VII
I kept dying on the chopper (in the final chapter)
and I simply said to myself "I have beaten the game"
I,m pretty sure I completed it for about 99%
also mirrors edge it also didn't help that much it was frying my videocard.

dammit! you made me lose The Game!Dectomax said:Lost. I played about 5 minutes of it and then got bored. Then i went on a much better game...Viva Piñata
I don't know what the reason for this was, but i just couldn't get into Oblivion. I wanted to, but I was so bored the entire time. I'm gunna give it another couple of goes, and we'll see what happens.
Half-Life -- Xen. Need I say more?
Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 -- Alright! This game is kick ass! So now I have to go and wipe out some guys at an oil refinery... without my squadmates? I have to do that whole section alone?
...
Shit.
Call of Duty: United Offensive -- So I died and have to go back to a point I was at 30 minutes ago because the game failed to autosave when it should have? AGAIN?!?! *ragequit*
Far Cry -- Trigents. I wouldn't say they killed the game for me, but they are one of the reasons I just stopped playing halfway through.

Not many really.
Ecco the Dolphin - I may have finished the final stages, but I had to do it by using a level select code so I could skip that one level I just couldn't finish. Don't ask which one though, this was 19 years ago.
Outland (that game that came out on XBL recently-ish (and maybe PSN as well?) - got to the flying serpent boss, just couldn't kill the damn thing. So I just gave up.
Homeworld - the last mission. Just when the homeworld was in sight, I couldn't get past that accursed Taiden mothership.
