Dark Souls. I fell down a trap in the damn Depths and got cursed. I plan on going back eventually, but I was so discouraged and I just stopped.

Civilization.  The entire series. Tried several times to pick it up, but the complication alone beat me :P

EVE.  DAT LEARNING CURVE O_O

And lastly, Demon's Souls.  Oh Demon's Souls...I made it all the way to Old King Allant.  After losing multiple times and regaining my body multiple times I was killed by a player from the FREAKING PANTHEON who decided to go to the first level of the freaking game to kill a player to get his body back.  At that point, I had no means of getting my body back other than killing a boss or getting ANOTHER stone of ephemeral eyes, so I said screw it and was done.

Ninja Gaiden on Nintendo damn boss at the end. Ninja Turtles on the NES. Mike Tyson Punch Out. Actually i don't think the NES was a kids system at all. Those games were rather difficult.
Goldeneye for the 64 1st game i had to use a strategy guide. Getting the Golden Gun had me frustrated beyond belief.

Pfft, weakling. Good old-fashioned trial and error while shooting the safe floor tiles is the way real men beat Goldeneye.

Many games, most of them recently. I simply don't have the patience to endure games I don't enjoy for whatever reasons.
This is just a selection of games left unfinished:
- Lords of the Fallen --- I don't find enjoyment in repeating checkpoints a dozen times. Enemies are very tough, the game's pacing is painfully slow, it takes minutes to defeat the simplest opponent. And what I found most irritating is enemies respawning as soon as you walk behind a corner. Kills any will for exploration. Endured the suffering until I beat the second boss, then quit forever.

Shadow of Mordor - just too much extra stuff to do. I can hardly ever make it to the mission, as there is always some enemy to fight, some captain to defeat, somebody to avenge... It doesn't help that everywhere I go I need to either fight three orcs that multiplies to thirty in a heartbeat, or that if I want to avoid them I need to sneak around like an idiot. Makes even the easiest collectibles a chore to get to. Sure, there is lots to do, but it just seems to go nowhere.

Alien Isolation --- 4 chapters of sneaking through vents is plenty enough to call it quits, when I kniw there are a dizen more to go, with androids around every bend. A very slow and boring game.

Bound by Flame --- well, this game just plain sucks.

Bioshock --- once I realized that the entire game will be me shooting stuff in a submerged corridor, I gave up. That was chapter 2.

Honorable mention: The Last of Us --- I actually finished this game. I persevered because of a promise of things getting better, sadly they never did. I started on PS3, made it about halfway until I just couldn't take it anymore. Then I borrowed the PS4 version, had to suffer through the same part ("It gets better right after that part, trust me" said some of my friends). I vowed to finish it, never had I been praying more that each chapter is the last one. About 5 chapters after I had enough, the game mercifully ends.

There are more games I never finished, these are just a few recently. 


Damn this was funny. The way you described your Last of Us play through makes me think of the time i forced myself to finish Star Wars Force Unleashed 2. I felt nasty playing it. Definitely agree about Shadow of Mordor. It got so damn boring towards the end.

Man soon as i read pattern on the floor i dropped the book and just sat back thinking lol. There was no other part in that game where there was a puzzle on the floor. I don't even think there were any period. I for the life of me could not understand why that gun kept shooting me.

Fuck that game. Check out the end of this video for just one example of the bullshit.

Demons souls. No explanation needed. I didnt even passed the tower knight.


I love that game.

I've lost a few 1000+ playthroughs in morrowind, ff tactics and other games due to mishaps (freezing, glitching, power went out) during saves. Does that count? I did play those games again but with more saves. haha.

really early into Dark Souls i kept going the wrong way and kept getting killed by skeleton's that wouldn't stay dead and didn't realize until months later i was going the wrong way.
