If I can't finish a game, that means said game is bad, and too hard for the wrong reasons.

I picked up Armored Core 3 for the PS2 and put 40 hours into it. Game was awesome except for one problem. The controls were too wonky, and the enemy AI was inhumanly good. Enemies could jump up and down constantly, while zig zagging left and right all while keeping a perfect bead on you to fire away. The controls had sliding left and right be R1 and L1. Looking up and down was R2 and L2. Looking left and right was the analog stick.So you had to control your aiming with a wonky combination of shoulder paddles, and analog stick.

So life has never gotten in the way? On an infinite time span this would never happen but as games are so long, I don't think there would be a gamer alive that hasn't had to put aside a game for some reason or another besides it being insurmountable. 

Life gets in the way all the time. I just keep playing whenever I possibly can. Oh I only had 30 minutes to game today? Ok then, but I'm not putting this game down till I finish it. During really bad weeks I might just get 10 hours of playtime. But I just keep going. I hate the idea of putting a game down. I'm stubborn.
