Game I stopped playing: Professor Layton & The Miracle Mask

Why I was excited for it: I'd completed all the previous Layton's, and was excited to see the rest of the prequel story unfold.

Why I stopped playing it: Ran out of Hint coins just when I needed them on a tough puzzle, can't remember the puzzle number, might be 105 or 108.

Likelihood of returning to it: High, when someone finishes their Let's Play on Youtube I will see how it's done.

Xenoblade is ho-hum until you get out onto Bionis Knee. Perseverance pays off in a big way.

Game I stopped playing: Deponia

Why I was excited for it: It seemed really quirky and clever and I read some good things about it in reviews.

Why I stopped playing it: It gets damned hard in a way that's very time consuming. Sometimes you have to check ALL the areas of the map to see if something has changed. That can take awhile, so it can get kind of boring.

Likelihood of returning to it: High. I'll probably work on it now and then, maybe look at a walk-through if I get really, really stuck. I like the game other than how tedious it can get.

----------------------

Game I stopped playing: BioShock 2

Why I was excited for it: It's BioShock!

Why I stopped playing it: It just seemed kind of pointless, like a sequel for the sake of a sequel. I couldn't get into it at all. Maybe I just didn't get far enough.

Likelihood of returning to it: Low. It just didn't impress me all that much.

I agree about Bioshock 2. Got it for plus and am not impressed. Dishonored has got me too hooked.

It is definitely Dodo.  Even with Mallow it was not that difficult.  You just need to deal a few hundred damage and he runs away.  Then Mallow returns to your party.

Resident Evil 6 (and the RE series in general)
why i was excited for it: because RE4 was one of my favorite games of all time
why i stoped playing it: BECAUSE ITS FUCKING SHIT

Game I stopped playing: All of them.

Why I was excited for it: I used to like games.

Why I stopped playing it: I just can't bring myself to play them anymore.  I feel like I'm wasting my time when I play a game now.

Likelihood of returning to it: Probably at some point, GTAV might pull me out of the rut.

Game I stopped playing: League of Legends

Why I was excited for it: I have been playing it for a while now.  It is a fun time with friends.

Why I stopped playing it: They started Season 3.  I dislike just about every change they made.  The shop got some nice new features, but it is laggy now.  Champs I like getting nerfed left and right.  Items I like getting nerfed or just removed from the game.  I can't think of a single change I actually like.

Likelihood of returning to it: Medium.  The game gets patched all the time so maybe they will fix everything they decided to screw up.

Game I stopped playing: skyrim

Reason for stopping: playstation 3
