Forums - Gaming Discussion - If you do not like a game, do you push through until the end, or quit?

I usually just give up. Ive got better things to do than play a game that i dont like. unfortunately it happens to me alot. Hence why i rarely buy new games anymore outside the IPs i know that i enjoy. I usually find myself playing the same few games over the past few years. Namely League of Legends, Battlefield 4 and Starcraft 2. Thats about it for me



I mostly play RTS and Moba style games now adays as well as ALOT of benchmarking. I do play other games however such as the witcher 3 and Crysis 3, and recently Ashes of the Singularity. I love gaming on the cutting edge and refuse to accept any compromises. Proud member of the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race. Long Live SHIO!!!!

I beat Golden Sun: Dark Dawn in hopes that it was going to get better by the end.

I was wrong.

If I feel that I don't like the game early on, I'll put it down and stop playing. However if I'm nearly done the game, I would probably push through it to finish it. It's rare for me to like a game, and more then halfway through change my mind. In Jeanne d'arc, a game I beat recently, I didn't like it after a twist in the plot deviated from the true facts about Joan of Arc, but I pushed through it because it's still an okay game, and I was already mostly done it. I did this for a couple other games like Indigo Prophecy as well because they were good games for the most part, and I might really hate it after a bad plot twist, but like a bad movie, you still want to see how it finishes.

However a more common problem with me is getting bored of games I like because I either find myself interested in something else while playing it, or just get bored with the repetative level design. Right now Catherine and Grand Theft Auto IV exhibit this issue. Catherine is just too bloody hard, and I refuse to drop down to easy difficulty (even with a video guide, I just can't keep up....in a Puzzle game). Grand Theft Auto on the other hand is just too damn repetative, but I really want to finish The Ballad of Gay Tony before I get GTA V.

I don't get bored of my favorite games, but for games I only like, and not love, I often find myself putting the game down when this happens. I still push through eventually, but having these games on my shelf does annoy me.

Finish a game I don't like?

I only have like 30 games but I still end up quitting it if I do not like it, which is why I try to buy games that I know I will like. I pretty much beat 70% of my games and have a pile of the "do not play" games and a stack of "Play in this order" games.

One game that I disliked and played to the end is FFXIII, I just could not accept what had happened. But I still kept going on.

I quit the first infamous early because I thought it was just a decent game and deleted it off my HD and never got back to it. Love the 2nd infamous though.

Diablo 3 for awhile. Beat it on the first 2 difficulties, could not go on after that.

Skyrim, did not beat it but got good playtime and some fun from it.

Darksiders, thought it was decent game, fun in some parts boring in others. I got stuck at a part where you got to throw something to bounce off something blah blah blah. Got so angry that this was randomly in the game that I deleted it off my HD and did not even bother wasting time to see how to get past it.

World of Warcraft, despite spending 1000s of hours on this game I could not beat it :(. (JK guys lol)

Your going to have to make me hunt you down aren't you?

Meh, just my opinion on it. FF was a big part of my uneventful life for a long time, and now I have not played a new FF since 2010. FF Versus XIII not coming to PS3 was another huge blow since I cannot afford next gen that well, buying it used when it comes out :P.

I just stop playing. It helps sometimes if it's on PS+ or something or I'm borrowing it.

Star Ocean The Last Hope, I didn't mind until there was some thing on Earth that was ridiculous. Bad sound, bad voices and bad animation.

Jak 2 and 3. Racing games? I want a platformer, Jak and Daxter is near a perfect platformer. I really do wonder what happened.

Resonance of Fate - It's not that I didn't like it, but my god was it repetitive.

Xcom Enemy Unknown - Difficulty put me off.



Hmm, pie.

I quit. Have better things to do then working my ass through a shitty game. BTW totally agree on AC 3. What a boring, repetetive game *yawn*



Depends on how much i (dis)like it and how many other games i still need to finish :P



Quite often i quit a game if i am not getting on with it, and then go back to it a few months down the line and really enjoy it.
