Has a game ever beat you?

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.
