Forums - Gaming Discussion - The Games You Stopped Playing in 2012

Sleeping Dogs & Max Payne 3.

Reason: None of them are bad, but none of them are special either.

Assassins Creed 3

Reason: I've got an AC overdose.

Borderlands 2

Reason: Great game, but it's a bit too lenghty and by the time I've put 20 hours and more into it, other games came out that I wanted to try.

Games I stopped playing:

Paper Mario: Sticker Star
This game just is nowhere as good as Paper Mario GCN

Xenoblade Chronicles
I loved this game, but a power outage erased my progress of about 1h. Never touched it since then.

Paper Mario GCN
Repeatedly lost against the final boss, couldn't motivate to leave the final dungeon to level grind and restock my items.

Mirror's Edge
Lost interest in the game halfway through. The controls for PC simply felt too inacurrate.

Team Fortress 2
Lost interest after about 200hrs



Game I stopped playing: Kirby's Return To Dreamland

Why I was excited for it: I hadn't played a Kirby game in awhile and it seemed quite fun.

Why I stopped playing it: This game became somewhat boring after awhile. Not a dissapointment, just kind of boring.

Likelihood of returning to it: Somewhat High. I'm sure I'll go back to playing it just to finish the game.



I often only stop playing when something new comes out that i want, and then come back to later. There's games that i started playing 2 years ago that i'm only just coming back to, to finish!



Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch will sell better than Wii U Lifetime Sales by Jan 1st 2018

Xenoblade people were hyped about it I even participated in that OP rainfall
It just never clicked for me. I got about an hour and half in and IMHO it was kinda boring.
Ill return to it when i start clearing some of my games, dont want to give up especially considering all the crap i gave NOA for not intially releasing it.

This one is the same for me. I got sucked in to the hype and played the game for quite bit longer, I even went through the annoying characters (I was very happy for one thing which happened in the game to my least favourite starting character) and... well, the supergood part never came up. It was just the same and when I took a look at my inventory and the freaking gems which should be melted or sold or whatever, I thought hell no and never touched the game again.

If I ever get a pro controller, I will finish the game.

Metal Gear Solid 3. I got excited cause its metal gear, but I played part 3 right after 2 on my vita. The games controls felt so different and my mind/hands got so used to the controls of part 2. I'll probably go back to it, but not anytime soon.



 

Bet with gooch_destroyer, he wins if FFX and FFX-2 will be at $40 each for the vita. I win if it dont

Game I stopped playing: Zelda: Skyward Sword

Why I was excited for it: It's Zelda... TP was amazing.

Why I stopped playing it: Fi didn't shut up. Control issues. The constant reuse of that damn nose boss.

Likelihood of returning to it: I resumed playing it on Dolphin.



Game I stopped playing: Oblivion (PC)

Why I was excited for it: Skyrim got me interested in the Elder Scrolls series & it was only $5

Why I stopped playing it: It's to big & confusing.  I got the GOTY edition, I did maybe 10-20% of the main game, then just did the DLC & quit.

Likelihood of returning to it: I could in the future, but I'd be just as happy forgetting about it.



Sleeping Dogs: good overall game but I see no reason to go back and play it.
Tales of Graces f: Really good RPG probably the best of last year. I will probably play it again once or twice until Tales of Xillia comes out in the US.
