What games have you, for whatever reason just stopped playing. Not a series, but an individual game. Maybe another, newer shinier game distracted you, you had a break and couldn't get back into it, or just petered out?
There are two games where this has happened to me.
Dead space 1.
This was before the 2nd one came out. It had excellent atmosphere, and the jump scares did set me on edge, but having to backtrack through areas, knowing to look at vents just became somewhat tedious I guess. I reached the point where there was a minigame, firing balls in anti gravity at a giant dartboard...and never moved on. Had a break from the game and it just seemed like too much....trudging........to continue.
Never finished it.
Rage
Excellent enemy and character animations, but I never connected/emphasized with the protagonist, MR Blandy Mc Nochoice. There was just no motivation as to why I was helping who I was helping, there was no real choice even the game seemed to be trying to convince me there was, and the driving was terrible and a real experience killer, especially the forced races.
Never finished that one either.
