For the egregious ones, I'd have to say:

Last of us - Played on ps3, stopped after beating the first fat zombie
Played on Ps4, stopped after beating the first fat zombie
Played the remastered on the PS4, stopped after the first fat zombie
Swapped my hdd for a new hdd and lost the save file..... played remastered again..... until beating the first fat zombie....

FF X - Played a few hours on ps2, ps3, and vita. Totally meh...
Witcher 3 -Played multiple times on PC every time I upgrade my rig, and on switch. Just doesn't catch me.

Everyone here knows I love JRPGs and everyone who loves JRPGs loves Ni No Kuni. But not me I hate that bloody game. The characters are so bloody annoying especially the two main ones Oliver and bloody Mr Drippy. Also the game is just so bloody easy. Got about 18 hours in and lost all will to live :rofl2:.

Any Elder Scrolls games.

I normally don't mind open-world games, but the Elder Scrolls games, especially Skyrim, feel too overwhelming with their "openness". Idk exactly how to explain it.

Not to mention the combat feels like you're just slapping pool noodles together. Feels way too clunky, and this is coming from someone who likes Souls combat.

I suffer from 'Too Many Choices Paradox'. With literally hundreds of DS, 3DS, PSP, Vita, Wii, Switch, PS2, PS3, PS4, iOS & Android games...I usually spend more time trying to decide what to play than I do actually playing. When I do, I like to use cheat codes to circumvent all of the 'grind' that many games make you go thorough. Hey, I have several hundred games to cram in while my mortality clock winds down. I ain't go time to waste!

I tried the Fantasy Fantasy games on the PS3. I really, really tried. They irritated me.

I did leave Bioshock and Bloodborne for a few years and I decided to come back to them this year.

Mass Effect is one that's on the backburner. With the Legendary version being released on Xbox Game Pass, maybe I'll try it again. Ugh.

Animal Crossing New Horizons. Sure, I technically "beat it," and I had little ideas on how to customize the island but after seeing so many posts by other players who went above and beyond with their games, it made me lose all motivation to keep going since they were doing things I never would've thought of.

South Park 64, the last Boss.

I was like 10 or 12 at the time, and goddamn that thing just did not die.

Also the last fight in Path of Neo for the Xbox, I came close to beating it but I never did, I kinda want to go back to that game soon though. Perhaps actually beat it this time.

MGSPW for sure. I have taken it off of my PSP and on my laptop's PPSSPP. Then I put it in the clouds, so I don't even have to look at it.

Resistance Retribution Will soooon follow, if it doesn't Let Me Win A Battle. :angry:

James Cameron's Avatar the Game, the visuals were decent, though everything else was just meh and so boring.. Repetitive combat, repetitive enemies, linear mission structure boring story..
Now i liked the idea of either siding with the humans or the natives, with humans you just shoot shit over and till the end, but with the Na'vi it was frustrating most of the time because the human enemies are overpowered, and they do swarm in alot and will spam bullets endlessly, and helicopters spawn way too often, and you're stuck with just melee attacks..
Either way i stopped half way, have no desire to go back to it..

Also with some of the military shooter games like COD, MOH & Battlefield etc, While playing single player campaign, i can only play them for short bursts like a mission or 2 and back out, i just can't keep playing after that.. I get bored with them, and with the linearity of the missions, i just can't keep on doing the same thing over and over, mindless & repetitive shooting, it gets on my nerves..
Not necessarily i give up on them, i just withdraw before it gets stale (when i used to play them anyway heh)..

Unreal.
It became a chore. I went up to a level where there was a 'mythical weapon' and the objective was to get it.
I think it was the rocket launcher of sorts.

One day, maybe.
Ah, the chizra temple. I admit that's a bit of a lull, as it might seem like the rest of the game is going to be new age temples. It's not: once you're through they're, you come across a village(that you can literally skip if you don't go left for it), and head for a crashed space ship with upbeat music (terranux, iirc).
But my main recommendation to get back into it is after that part... Then you're climbing the spire tower (the one you can see in the Sky earlier). And that's imho the best level ever designed for a 3d game. But the great level design is great after that as well(nali heaven, bluff eversmoking and nali castle, especially).

Then again: it's hardly a new game at this point, so it's not like you can impress people by beating it. ;)

Moon Remix RPG Adventure - I will never.

Proof you can love the aesthetics of a game to death and know you will never, ever, ever take the time to learn the intricacies of it to complete it.
