Oh, you felt nothing during the bathtub scene? I always get THE boner when I see it, still to this day.

Actually, I find THE LACK of any story can deter me.

If you are literally a guy with a gun, just going around shooting people, it usually immediately turns me off. I need to be more invested than that. Even a cool, interesting lead character is enough, as long as they aren't a complete douche.

You should play Rogue Warrior, super loveable main character you play as.

I should point out... this "Song" is NSFW or... well... it's just awful and offensive in every way, 18s+ language.

Whoever figured this was the sort of character that gamers would relate to... I mean It's just amazingly out of touch with reality.

I've known people that can't finish Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright/Conquest after they played the other version because...spoilers.

Not so much the story, but the dialogue in FF13.

I had never played a FF game before and decided to try because of the hype. The lines are so bad. So bad.

That's actually a major reason why I never picked up any of FF13.  So much poor writing, translation, and lines grasping for depth that don't actually mean a dang thing.

Yes, plenty of games where the story and game ended so I stopped playing.

Nah. No story has ever made me quit a game. In my opinion, 90% of the stories told in games are terrible so the story doesn't mean that much to me when it comes to finishing a game. However, I am moved by good stories.

Bethesda games... I often quit the questline just prior to the final mission. I refused to do the final mission in fallout 4 as of yet lol

Only one comes to mind: Castlevania: Lords of Shadows 2. The first one was awesome. But LoS2's story was weak and so annoying and basically ruined the character that is no surprise it killed the franchise as a whole. FU Konami.

Let's just pretend Lords of Shadow was the "swan song" of Castlevania and that it's sequel's never existed.

I came very close to quitting Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon both because its story was deplorable compared to earlier entries, and because its gameplay wasn't as good, stuck it out though. So no, don't think I've ever quit just on story alone.

Yes, Grandia Extreme was so bad, I did not care to finish it.
