List your games that you've put hours of gameplay but still couldn't finish it after weeks or months since start because how boring it was.

Here's mine:

Deus Ex Human revolution - boring storyline and setting, gameplay is too repetitive.EDIT: I finished it :D

Just Cause 2 - bad storyline, bad driving engine

Darksiders - just boring

Final Fantasy VII - stuck at Chocobo Quest

Super Hexagon - It's too damn hard! EDIT: Finished it recently :D

Full Bore - The title says it all. The game is BORE-ing. You just dig in the ground and collect gems. That's it. Maps are big which doesn't help because moving around is awkward, you can't even jump. Meh. For fans of Toki Tori as it's similar in gameplay. It's not bad but it's not a game I'd enjoy.

The Desolate Hope - It's an adventure platform game and it was promising. However, I think the execution leaves a lot to be desired. It's easy, level design is very bad (no finesse at all), there's no controller support (in fact there are no settings whatsoever) and the game is just boring. Graphics and music are nice but that's unfortunately not enough to keep me playing.

Truffle Saga - An indie game where you have to clear each level in one shot of acorn. It's pretty nice but it bored me after a few levels.

Metal Slug 3 - This game is so overrated. It's average at best. Has its moments but in general it's nothing special and dying is what you'll do here every few seconds. I actually almost finished it but I can't understand how in the hell can someone be such a moron as to make every mission very short (10 minutes per one) but the last one very, very long. Too long. And of course you have the same amount of lives as during the short ones. Couldn't they just break it up into 2-3 missions and then have more missions altogether? Oh, hey, I have an idea. Why the hell not just make this game ONE.LONG.MISSION? That'd be fun as fuck, wouldn't it? And every time you think you get closer to the ending there's another boss and another and another... and it's too easy to die in this game, controlling the character is very clunky so avoiding bullets is annoying. You just spam the trigger button hoping for the best. MEH. AVERAGE AT BEST. OVERRATED.

Same here for optimization, my laptop can handle most games pretty well, but it handles GTA IV like shit because of the horrible optimization, hopefully GTA V will be better.

The Cat Lady. I'm not wild about P-n-C games to begin with but this one just drives me nuts with the poor control interface and s...l...u...g...g...i...s...h gameplay.

Mr.Bree+ was a gift and I confess to not enjoying the kind of platformer it is so YMMV.

Probability 0 - This can't be finished as the whole point of this game is dying I guess. But I couldn't stand it for more than minute. It receives generally positive reviews which is something I can't understand. This game is terrible. Gameplay, music, controls, everything in it sucks. MEH.

Bad Bots - The game is actually not that bad and I enjoyed it... up to the point of sleeping quarters. There's an area which you have to beat which is the hardest yet in the game but... it's not hard because it's actually hard but because some elements of the game are very poor. Stun lock is one of them. Basically when you are hit by a robot you get stuck for a second in one place and you're unable to move. Imagine being swarmed by 30 robots who hit you every half a second. It's IMPOSSIBLE to move. You have to constantly jump but even that doesn't always work because even if you're jumping they can still get you into this fucking lock. Not to mention you jump with "w" which is the up key and it's impossible to change it to any other key. It's not convenient. Well, up until that point I enjoyed the game. There's a lot of action, nice music and enjoyable gameplay (more or less). However, I'm not going to play games which make me die all the time not because they're hard but because they're poorly executed. And "stun lock" along with automatic jump back after being hit are the most annoying and stupid mechanisms a developer can put into a game. Shame. I've beaten more than half of the game and was leaning towards getting all achievements as well. This could have been a nice game if properly made.

Garshasp: The Monster Slayer - Very poor attempt at making a game similar to God of War. Garshasp is boring and uninteresting with an addition of bad controls, tons of bugs, awkward moving around and fighting, lack of atmosphere and so on. I got to the point of sliding the wall on the dagger and man... this was just too awkward and I couldn't even jump back on the wall after hitting the light (yep, you hit the light on the wall and your dagger is stopped, apparently) even though instructions on the screen claimed I could do that. It's a very low budged game so play it only if you're into those. Sometimes I like to play such games but this one is really bad. Maybe sometime in the future I'll come back to this when I have nothing else to play (which is probably never).

Volgarr The Viking - Another one of those retro style platform games which sole purpose is to be challenging. Well, Volgarr isn't easy but it's not because it is hard per se. The gameplay and controlling the character both suck and that is exactly why the game is pretty hard. If you jump right you can't actually steer left or slow down in mid-air which is extremely stupid. Very often you'll want to jump on a block standing before spikes but you won't be able to slow down to reach the block and you'll end up hitting spikes. Monster spawning all around you doesn't help either. Normally I don't mind that but in this game, with these controls it's just annoying as hell. This game is a perfect example of inability to make a good, challenging game. You don't know how to make a game challenging? Just give the player one life only, long distances between checkpoints and add clunky controls to the mix and hey, I bet players will spew venom every few seconds out of their mouths. That's exactly how you DON'T want to make a game look like.

ermm I'd say Skyrim, I've put over 100 hours into one single gameplay, it was awesome during the first dozens of hours, but my char got too strong, quest rewards were absurd (not worth finding and colecting those 10-whatever-they-wanted MMORPG style), as I was playing pure mage, all the good accessory and items I got from Wintehold quests, I pretty much remained to play the game for exploring purposes, because the environment is just fabulous... and I couldn't care less for the main storyline.. dragons again, I finished just the first couple of storyline quest and never returned to the mountain rasputins again

Two Worlds II. Clunky and dull game that somehow managed to make BASIC MOVEMENT painful.

I battle to finish games in general. These days I blame it on too many games and too little time, but before it was really because I'd play games halfway and get stuck or just feel like playing something else. I'm also guilty of avoiding finishing games when I really enjoy them, or simply wasting my gaming time replaying games I've already finished.

These are the games I currently can't finish:
Darksiders - I like the game, I just couldn't get into it
Batman: Arkham Asylum - I guess I just haven't had a long enough period of time to play it
Mafia II - I don't really know what happened there, I was really into the game then went away for a week and couldn't get back into it when I got back home.
Bastion - It seems a good game but I got bored pretty fast
Blades of Time - I got stuck on one of the early bosses, also the controls are messed up when I play with my controller, and don't like the keyboard and mouse controls, especially MMB to lock on :/
The Cat Lady - Got stuck on one of the chapters somehow
Hacker Evolution - I loved the concept, but I couldn't get past the tutorial!
Brutal Legend - I enjoyed the game, but I guess I just got bored after a certain point
FEZ - I just couldn't get into it
Torchlight II - It was actually the first game I got on steam and was given to me by a friend who got a 4 pack, but I played Diablo a lot when I was younger and was also in the Path of Exile Beta at the time and stopped playing both of them because I was simply over the ARPG genre

I plan to finish all of these sometime in the future, except maybe FEZ, because it doesn't seem to have much of a story there, I just need the time and motivation.
