Grand Theft Auto IV, easily. Looked like it should be fine, but the driving mechanics and constant babysitting made it so tedious I couldn't get very far.
Games you sincerely wished you could enjoy, but just couldn't get into them

BioShock. I've tried the game twice, but there's something about it that just doesn't work for me, so I've never gotten past the first couple levels.
Also, most 2D games. My first game console was a Nintendo 64, so I grew up on mainly 3D games, and as a results can not get into anything from the SNES era or earlier. I like my Marios, Metroids, and Zeldas in 3D.

Lot of games for me. Minecraft, Super Meat Boy, Left 4 Dead, the X-COM games, just about any fighting game...
If I can't actually understand the game enough to have fun within the first hour, I'm not interested. In Minecraft and L4D's case, I just can't have fun even when I understand the game.

Half Life 2. On two occasions I really, really tried to get into it, but it just didn't stick. I tried it once shortly after it's release and once about two years ago. I don't know what it was, but I constantly had to remind myself that this is one of those games you 'should' lay to the end. I just couldn't do it though. Guess some games just don't "work" for some people.
Killer 7. I will admit that it is visually one of the most interesting games I've ever seen. I just cannot for the life of me figure out what the fuck I'm supposed to do. I've never made it past the first level, and the controls bug me so much that I just don't really feel like checking gamefaqs.
Sacred 2: it had good potential, co op mode, lots of content, but just lacked that fun factor.
really. those reasons are a little pathetic to lose interest in a great game arent they.Judgement101 said:
I can understand that, chapter 8 had Ty the Overpowered in its first half and excessive attack down enemy rounds in its second. Honestly, I'd consider that chapter to be the low point.summerof2010 said:

Deus Ex. Simple, I just hate the shooting.
MAG. I may have only tried the beta, but again the shooting was so unappealing for me that I just couldn't see myself still playing it in two months.
Fall out 2. I don't know really... not enough direction I guess? I'm going to try again in a few, but as of now I'm just not having fun with it.

While I'm not saying they'll be the time of your life, the starting area quests have been vastly improved with Cataclysm, in my opinion.drwow said:
Anyways, I'd have to say most Valve games. I try to like them, but the community (fanboys) hype them up to the point they're impossible to enjoy.
Umm... no? Maybe you were doing it wrong or maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I always played Deus Ex as a stealth RPG. More like Elder Scrolls than an FPS. I'm not an FPS fan, but I love RPGs and have a mushy spot in my heart for Deus Ex. Whomever told you it was supposed to be a good FPS was talking out of their ass.Proverbial Jon said:
Fallout New Vegas. I don't even know why. I loved Fallout 3, and did pretty much everything I could possibly do in it. (100% achievement rating, all the DLC, et cetera.) It kept my interest for a long, long time. New Vegas, though...I don't know. It doesn't have the same immersion as the first one. Part of it may be the extreme number of ways to finish the endgame, what with the different factions and such. I think that's where I stopped, as I was honestly unable to decide what to do with it. In concept, it's pretty sweet, but for some reason I just didn't enjoy the game in general as much.
(That, and it felt more like an expansion to Fallout 3, as opposed to the dramatic change between that and Fallout 2.)

fps's in general fail to hold my interest for to long
also i could not get in to the first legend of Zelda. it does not even have directions or a map and i am not in a mood to wounder around searching for the a dungeon.

It's such a shame too, because I really liked the core mechanics and found the personality quirks of all the little foot soldiers to be endearing. Not to mention that the art style was very pretty.A random person said:
...But the menu interface and lack of auto-save can eat a big flaming dick. Inexcusable stuff, IMO.
Everquest 2 (beyond level 20... blech), warhammer online, any game with poor sounds but great gameplay really. I have a lot of trouble playing games that use sounds that just dont... 'feel right'. Warhammer had this problem really bad and i couldnt put my finger on what was wrong. World of Warcraft recently changed almost /all/ of the move sounds to the druid sound mangle (which sounded like an urn falling into stained glass from a big height... annoying). Especialy since that sound played EVERY SECOND during a fight, every fight, the whole time. I played WoW far too long and its funny that the SOUND CHANGE is what made me quit. xD
