Mass Effect 1 - Played for a while and got to the first hub area. Did the very first side mission, failed immediately because I didn't have enough Paragon/Renegade points. From what I read online the quest required nearly 100% of your meter to be filled (which is only possible if you play new game+), started doing other side quests, about half of them didn't have any choice in them or if they did again required more points in Paragon/Renegade than you could possibly have at that point in the game. Also, the combat in the original was boring, enough so that I skipped the other 2 games. I could be wrong, I bought the game like a month after release, and haven't touched it since.
Assassin's Creed - Played until you got multiple targets, and quit. The game was just too repetitive. I did pick up Black Flag with, while was still repetitive, was varied enough for me to finish the main story. I might even go back and clean up the collectables.
Morrowind - I'm way too spoiled with the compass and waypoint system. I want to enjoy it, but actually having to navigate an open world with real-life type directions.
"Go to town-name" Okay
"Find Store-name" Okay...
"Turn North" (No compass, and I don't think you show up on the maps) Ummm... which way is north?
"Keep going up the stairs" Okay?
"Turn right and enter the second house on your left" *Turns right* There's no houses here... Fuck, *heads back to store, gets lost*
Again, I think the problem with Morrowind is more that I'm too used to Oblivion or Skyrim's navigation, and the interfaces and such haven't aged gracefully to say the least.
Monster Hunter (3DS version) - Fuck the control scheme, 3D games like this almost REQUIRE two thumbsticks. If I had a Vita I would probably get it on that(It was released on Vita right?), but I'm not buying a Vita for one game.
Any game that's entire appeal is playing with friends w/ a leveling system. - Maybe my friends are just assholes with no self control, maybe my friends actually hate me, maybe it's because most of my gaming friends have no/part time jobs with a steady schedule, but any time I start playing a game like Torchlight, Diablo, Path of Exile, etc. My friends always say they'll play a character with me, they will for.... maybe 3 hours, than I'll have to go to work, or sleep to get ready for work, and when I come back my friend's character he was leveling with me is now 40 levels higher, and he won't reroll again. His response?: "Just catch up with me, it's only going to take a few hours." Fine, I'll platy solo/with randoms until I catch up. Okay, I got to level 60 something. Oh, hey... He's maximum level and has the game's best gear, and won't play with me at all until I get to his character and gear level. It happened with EVERY game we play together, He'll no-life it, or in the case of Dungeon Defenders will hack it, and call me a "baddie" for not hacking the game myself...
I think I just need new friends...
