Plenty. Some notable ones:

Zelda TP (Wii)
Okami (Wii)
Zack & Wiki (Wii)

Mind you, they are not bad games per se. However, at some point in some situation they all annoyed me with bad game play mechanics so that I stopped playing them and never returned.

fallout 3 and heavenly sword

fallout 3.... the close combat sucked... the guns felt weak and i just felt like the game wasnt going anywhere and i wasnt about to use vats i came in looking for a game more along the lines of borderlands and when borderlands came out i bought it and got what i wanted :D

heavenly sword... hated the main character and the combat felt unresponsive there was just nothing to keep me finishing the game... the story didnt catch me i didnt like the combat the main character i hated and it was a short game i would probly never play again anyway with no trophies and there was just nothing keeping me into it.

(on a side note i may one day go back and try fallout 3 again as i bought it on steam but i doubt it)

People really beat every game they buy? I never got around to beating the majority of my NES, and SNES games! I usually beat around half the games I buy, but never get around to finishing a good chunk of them! Sometimes it because the games are just plain bad like Little Big Planet and sometimes something new comes along and I just never go back to a game such as I did with Metroid Prime Corruption!

I never beat LBP either, then I brought it to a friends place, he, his wife and I played it through to completion in 2 games, only stopping to sleep :)



Unicorns ARE real - They are just fat, grey and called Rhinos

Yes.

The only one in my long gaming career that I couldn't even bother to finish because it was excruciatingly boring to me. Far Cry 2

And I loved the first one, had about 8 Gb of mods for it and it was a major breakthrough back in its day. But FC2 simply was the most boring game ever >_

Well, let's see: I dropped Killzone 2's SP for months near the end of the game. I simply got so bored of it. Eventually at some point I forced myself through to the end. But the SP was just not enjoyable.

I also couldn't bother to finish Blue Dragon. VERY boring.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

I only have two games that I haven't finished because I thought they sucked horribly:

- Siren: Blood Curse
- Far Cry 2

I had no issue getting rid of those two before I had finished them, they were just horrible! I've got plenty of games I haven't finished, simply because they couldn't keep my attention though. Half-Life 2, Bioshock, Dragon Age: Origins (I actually intend to finish this one though) and others.

CGI won't be pleased...

The truth needs to get out none the less
