Just Cause 2. It's fun enough, the world is really big and looks great... I just don't care. I don't care about anything going on in that game. Tried twice to finish it. Failed both times.
Vagrant story - was loving it then my save got wiped 20 hours or so in and just couldnt be bothered to redo it.
Mario galaxy 2 - loved the first one really didnt have any fun with this one so after 7 hours or so I just stopped.
Baldurs gate 1 and 2 - the first one is just terrible so slow and ridiculous you have encountered a bear you died, yeah thanks. The second one ive tried multiple times but just cant get into it or care about the characters (yet) even though I can see there is a great game in there somewhere.
Neverwinter nights - played for ages got to powerful and the story wasnt enough to keep me going.
Halo:ce and 3 - got to the last warthog section on halo died never played campaign again, halo 3 I just found terrible.
Call of duty 4 and mw2 - hated story in 4 loved mp, disliked it all in mw2.
Grand theft auto + 3 + 4 - dont know why I keep buying them I just mess around with them for a bit having fun on a killing spree then try the missions find them incredibly boring ultimately fail one on first attempt and give up.
Burnout 3 - ridiculous cheap A.I racers with their rubber banding tactics had me (for the first time in years) shouting at the screen in frustration and if that happens I just take the game out and put it somewhere I will never see it again because if I carry on something will get broken.
Tomb raider angel of darkness - no explanation needed.
loads of others to but I usually do finish most of my games eventually even if it takes 10 years or so.

Star Ocean: Till the End of Time
-Stick figure animation
-Horrible voice acting
-Combat mechanics that *could* have worked, but didn't
-Oh god, the dog$%@# writing and story
I was only able to tolerate it up to (I think) the halfway point when I finally said "Good god, enough already!"

Dead Space. My GOD, those first few levels were a massive grind. So much so that I just stopped caring.
Oblivion.
I could never drag myself through the main missions. It's go here, kill this, talk to him, rinse and repeat. It's wierd as I've completed Fallout 3 and Fallout NV and didn't have the problem, but something about Oblivion really bugged me.
I also completed all the other missions on it, but the main quest - I don't know if it was just something with me, but eurgh it was horrible.
Bioshock 2.
Simply because I could never be bothered. I was just bored and it appeared the whole game was just filler and couldn't interest me in the slightest.
Ilomilo as they never fixed the damn bugfor the DLC so I can't complete every level. VERY annoying. Why make a broken game, then not even make an attempt to fix it? The level freezes everytime I go into it.
And lastly Trials HD. Inferno 2 is the most annoying level ever. That one level makes me hate the game - which is a shame as I really enjoy the earlier, easier levels.

I duno, I really disliked Resistance, just couldn't get into. IT was just so... it just didn't grab me in any way.

This. This. This.
I feel your pain, Croutons. I've been a crazy C&C fan since I was 7, and my best friend and I battled each other in Command & Conquer over our dial-up modems.
I even liked C&C 3. I thought EA did a pretty solid job of continuing to series, even if the game was a little buggy from time to time and it did take two minutes to save a game. I also thought Kane's Wrath did an amazing job of bringing RTS controls to a console. The gameplay was crazy smooth, and I loved the siege multiplayer game type both games had.
Then, C&C 4 came out. I don't know whose idea it was to get rid of tiered building and tech trees, but I hope they got fired. I hope they got fired a lot.
*sigh* I'll never forget the day I had to look up the Command & Conquer wiki to see how the series ended.
Oh, well.
Far Cry 2. I hate it.
However, I did manage to force my way to the ending. Which sucked, I might add. The game's music still haunts me.

Being a huuuge fan of the Mass Effect series, I thought of trying Dragon Age out. It's a Bioware game...I may like it, I thought. Yeah, I had fun with it through the beginning, middle and...well that's when it stopped. Right when I named Alistair king...I found myself not CARING what happened. The archdemon is going to ravage the world? I...I don't care...this is amazing, 80 hours in and suddenly the interest is GONE. Where did it go? How did I have the patience to play the majority of the game to just LOSE IT? The game is still in my PS3, haven't played it in two weeks...I feel lazy for wanting to drop it...what do I do? T_T
Also couldn't finish Final Fantasy XIII, 'cause, well...do I need say it?

As much as I love it I haven't been able to complete BlazBlue story with every character only Ragna, Jin and Noel Vermillion and not even up to 100%.
Heaps of Online RPGs Warhammer Online and Aion I know you can't complete them but I've never gotten past the early twenties before getting bored, and the worst would be MGS 4 got wayy to frustrated was used to the Uncharted 2 control sceme so died allot.

Ephemeral Fantasia. I kept getting lost for one thing, and this made me miss out on potential party members because I took to long to get them. Worst yet, the parts where you play the guitar or whatever that instrument is. It was so random with no instructions.
I was watching the cutscene where the main guy meets like the princess of the kingdom (or whatever, can't remember the story), the dialogue says "You are inspired by her beauty" or whatever, and he pulls out his guitar. I thought it be a musical number he would do HIMSELF, but noooo...the game wants ME to pull some miracle outta my ass in trying to figure the buttons before I screw it up! It was only later that I found the practice option or something, and by that time I said "Forget this! I'm playing Devil May Cry."
Plus, I've played better looking PS1 games.

I thought it was relatively fun...for a time anyway. The dancing stuff to build up that hyper bar or whatever...that was ridiculous.Forever of the Stars said:
Games I couldn't finish:
Golden Axe: Beast Rider, just...dumb. stupid stupid game. Returned it the next day.
Darksiders: God that got boring! And a sequel is on the way! WHY!?!
Prototype: Actually I DID finish this one, and I wish I didn't. Almost as stupid and boring as Golden Axe and Darksiders. Again, sequel on the way....
Folklore: I LIKE the game. I just get bored after playing it for a few hours. Then I won't pick it up for a few months and I'll play for a few days on and off again.
There are other games I haven't finished, but not really because I feel they are bad, but because I get interested in newer games and just forget to go back. I guess those can be chalked up to boredom too, but these are the ones that stick out the most for me.
