Was it the one where the bad guy is running away in a boat or something and you chase him on a motorcycle? That's where I gave up because the bike controlled like shit and autosave was too far away.

I dorked around with it a little, but I absolutely hate it when failure in a mission means you have to drive all the way over there again. Replaying a mission is already repetition enough, but having to drive my ass over there again is just a terrible decision.

For some reason, under Windows 7 I can't even play this game properly, always crashes when I start a campaign and I can't fix it no matter what. I recently dual booted with Win 8.1, will give it a spin and see if it runs better. Worth trying - Maybe a dual boot with XP just for that game?

I have countless of games that I started, loved and never finished due to the fact that the game doesn't have cloud save. I have 2 homes and 2 computers. If I start a game that I can't continue to play due to the lack of cloud support I lose interest.

Dead Island. I must've tried to finish that game on the xbox/pc 20-30 times both single player and co-op. Furthest I've got to is the jungle. I blame boring repetitive gameplay, I really didn't like the human aspect, the shooter mechanics where awful.

I've been trying to beat FF VI since I was 6 years old. I had to start over like 6 or 7 times, because there was always a problem. My lil brothers deleted my data like 4 times (by accident of course, or maybe by "accident"), and the others were partially my fault. I'm 19, and I couldn't reach Kefka's tower so far.

RPG's are too time-demanding and rigorous. They are usually the hardest of all genres, with a high/steep learning curve. However, you can play "easy" RPG-action hybrids such as Diablo 3, Shadowrun: Returns, and Path of Exile; these games are not "traditional" RPGs and I personally found them easier to play.

Diablo 3 (Game is not on Steam)
Shadowrun: Returns
Path of Exile (free!)

Wow! I really see it as a good game. But, in addition to the terrible port, it gets really repetitive. I'm 15 hours in and I just wish it ends already! It was fun probably in the first 9~11 hours, but damn... You just keep doing the same thing over and over again!

As you can see, L.A. Noire is one of those love it or hate it games. Part of the problem was that people saw Rockstar and thought it was a sandbox game, but its not at all, which caused a lot of the hate. Plus, there are some odds quirks in the interviews, where some of your choices don't seem to match up to how the character actually responds. But that's a result of a last minute design change.

The options were originally Coax, Force and Lie, but they changed them to Truth, Doubt, and Lie, and didn't re-record any lines. So sometimes, when you're wanting to act merely skeptical, Cole will start yelling at them, which is a jarring disconnect.

I didn't know about this design change. That was big, man! And what you said about Cole is absolutely true. Sometimes when you press lie, Cole will say something random, leaving you not so sure about if you actually have the evidence to prove the lie. But sometimes he will just say the evidence right away, and then you just have to select it and hear him reaffirm what he just said. The inconsistency with what you choose and how he acts really shows up.

Yeah, they recorded all of the lines pretty early, while they were still making a number of design choices, and then never went back to make sure everything actually worked together. Team Bondi spent a fortune on the facial software, which is why they ended up folding.

Wow, I never knew that. The interrogations were what I wanted to love most about the game, but their absolute arbitrary bullshitiness was what I ended up hating the most about it. This explanation obviously doesn't help make it better, but it at least makes sense now why it sucked so bad.

One thing I did really appreciate was the ability to skip action scenes. This game didn't do action very well at all, and being able to just skip the nonsense after a couple failed attempts was really the only way I could finish it.

There was an article about it, shortly after the game came out, but most people never knew that, which is why I usually try and bring it up whenever there's a discussion about L.A. Noire. Its kind of bizarre that they thought changing it to Truth, Doubt or Lie without changing the voicework was a good idea.

The action scenes did kind of suck, but I never skip any gameplay in a game. I'm stubborn like that. I imagine they only included the action scenes because people would poop themselves if a game came out where you don't get to punch or shoot someone. A game where you just talk and solve crimes? Why would someone want to play that?

I really loved Saint's Row IV - but I was switching my old 500GB HDD to new 3TB. I was ~60% through the game. The game is supposed to use steam clould - so I just re-downloaded it to my new HDD. But it started from scratch... So I plugged in my old hdd, copied save files from it and what (I missclicked Ctrl+C into Ctrl +X, so lost original data....)? Cloud started to work proparly - so it overrided my save data with ones it got from cloud from after I started new game... All old saves lost....

This. I was surprised this wasn't in the poll. When my save gets corrupted or lost for some reason and I have to do it all over again, I give up. Sometimes, if it's a really good game, I get back to it after a few years and then finish it.

Yeah. In my opinion, a corrupted save is even worse than a broken game (I still remember VtM:B fondly, even though there were a ton of bugs... until my save got glitched and didn't give me the item I needed for the story that I had until I had to reload because I got stuck in the ground). I'll suffer through a lot, but usually not twice -_-.

I'd say almost any game that doesn't have a quicksave. The last one was assassin's creed 2. I spent at least half an hour climbing a tower, carefully taking down all the guards around it without being seen. When I got to the top, my assassination target bumped into me as he came down a ladder, knocking me off the tower, causing me to fall to my death. I had to restart from the last save point in another part of the city. Besides being a habitual quicksaver, I like the freedom of arbitrary session length. I don't want to sit down and think that I have to play "until the next save point" in order to make any progress.

Agreed, a thousand times over. I still haven't picked up Alien Isolation since the last time I played for 45 minutes, got killed, had to start all the way back at the save point, then played another 45 minutes and got killed again. 1.5 hours and zero progress - i just don't have time for that shit.

I didn't have much of a problem with the RTS parts of the game, although I do concede that they were probably a poor choice. Or they still could have included them, but fewer of them, and maybe as a set of optional side-quests. Especially since the demo made it appear that it was going to be a straight-forward 3rd person brawler.

How to Survive was an absolute piece of garbage. I played that game for 13 hours, got to the quest almost at the very end where I had to go around and pick up a bunch of packages, only most of the packages weren't where they were indicated on the map - they weren't anywhere, really. Couldn't finish the quest, so I couldn't finish the game, and ultimately couldn't be bothered to waste one more second of my life on it.

Also Dead Space 2. I was never a fan of survival horror to be honest, but Dead Space 1 was pretty enjoyable. However, Dead Space 2 follows a pattern of get through some place, get to other bad place, kill bunch of scary guys, repeat. The "kill bunch of scary guys" is what kills it for me. It really has a lot more of them than the original, and the feeling around them is so bad and heavy! I can play pobably 40 minutes ~ 1 hour before having to quit, and that doesn't mean this time is enjoyable. But I'm sure someday I'll man up and finish it! It's still a very good game.
