Ever Purchased A Game SO Bad That You Couldn't Finish It?

Paul Battani from PlatformNation writes: Let's face it. Everyone at one time or another has taken the financial plunge and bought a bad game based purely on their own delusional expectations. I'm talking a game that is so bad and has had so many negative reviews, yet for some reason you still want to buy the stinking piece of garbage because surely, it can't be that bad. A game so bad that if your console could talk, it would berate you for buying it and refuse to play the game lest its circuits get tainted with the stink of the retched game. Luckily in this day, gamers have more options to guide their game buying decisions. Often times, games will feature demos, or at the very least game play videos. Bigger drawing titles will be prominently featured on channels such as G4TV and in the various gaming magazines. Websites will also play a big part in getting the news about games out to gamers with their reviews and news stories.

[Canucks23]

Still haven't finished Mercs 2 lol.

[PirateThom]

My friend and I finished it in co-op, was actually awesome.

Anyway, there's games I've bought that I haven't finished, but like books, if I buy it, I will try to finish it. Usually other reasons why I don't though, even being bad won't stop (Sonic Unleashed came close, luckily my save game was lost before I could give it up from being bad).

[Sunny_D]

Nah, just kidding. But, it would have to be Devil May Cry 4. Stupid, boring, repetitive music playing, backtracking made me yawn through half of it until I couldn't go on.

[hay]

FFXIII for me.

[Lou-Cipher]

5. Afrika
4. Army of two :40th Day
3. Tomb Raider Underworld
2. Prototype
1. Brutal Legend (biggest letdown this gen for me)

@hay
Did you make it to Chapter 11?

FF13 was a snoozer, until Chapter 11. Once you get there it really becomes a fantastic game. If you can find it in your heart to suffer through the first 10 chapters, I think you will find a completely different/wonderful experience after Chapter 10.

[Blaze929]

What kind of title is that? It makes no sense.

[Therealspy03]

ff13 just couldn't hold my interest. i wanted to stop at 5 hours in...forced myself to about 15. then i thought to myself...did i really pay 60 dollars to do something i don't enjoy? so now it's collecting dust.

@lou-cipher: i think that sounds about where i was. since i have the day off tomorrow, imma take your word for it and dedicate my night to reaching this amazing transition. but let me tell you...if that little bastard, Hope, doesn't die a horrible horrible death (or a really hilarious one), then i don't see how this game can possibly redeem itself.

[BiggCMan]

the only game that i havnt beatin because it was so bad was need for speed pro street, theres a few others i havnt beatin, but most of them i like. just havnt gotten around to em

[Xlll]

You shouldn't have to suffer 10 chapters to finally have some fun with a game.

[Arnon]

Final Fantasy XIII
Overlord
Far Cry 2

[RankFTW]

Brutal Legend

[LordMarius]

Final Fantasy X-2

[cry from the sky]

the online was terrible i called my internet provider and was just tripping out on how laggy it was.

[Shepherd 214]

Yea Mercs 2 was pretty awful, i never finished it either.

[Anorexorcist]

That game for me would be PO'ed for the Playstation and the 3DO.

That game was so boring (kill everything and the exit portal opens up, that's all) and the controls, graphics and too-fast movement always gave me headaches.

[HolyOrangeCows]

Superman 64 - I don't know a single soul personally that has gotten past level 1.

[rambi80]

Sonic Unleashed

[chrisnick]

ALONE IN THE DARK.......I WOULD HAVE RATHERED PLAYED A GAME WHERE I USED NATAL TO PLAY A SIMULATION OF ME POOPING!!!

[presto717]

Prototype is definately number 1. That game sucked big-time. Jumping off buildings gets boring. fast. Number 2 would be crysis. The game looked good but I lost interest quickly so I dumped it. Other games on the list would be Bayonetta (got the "superior" 360 version for my roommate's xbox; game was cheezy as f**k) and Red Alert 3.

[Tony P]

Magna Carta is just about the ONLY game I've chosen not to finish.

Because it's terrible.

[Darkstorn]

I'm going to get disagrees for this, but I couldn't bring myself to finish Resistance 2. I thought it was clunky, unpolished, repetitive, and the graphics were icky. The first Resistance (which I loved) was infinitely better than its lame sequel.

Other than that, only Dark Vengeance (an obscure action game from 1997) failed to get my attention past the first few levels.

[ChineseDemocracy]

These games weren't even that bad, it's just that i lost interest.

1. Devil May Cry 4
2. Prince of Persia

[Absolut_Turkey]

Joust. I know it's a classic, but still. Damn flying birds piss me off!

[zoks310]

Here is one I could not finish, Beyond the Beyond, which was publish by by SCEA. Granted it was one of their first RPG's but, man memories.... the game was horrible. I think I was around 14 years old when this game came out.

It was Summer in NY, I was board, and I was craving some RPG action so I went to Electronics Boutiques (EB/Gamestop back in the day) and picked this game up. I wanted to kill myself after I got home and popped this in, after about 10 hours in I gave up.
I was pissed because my summer job only paid about $6 per hour back then, pretty good pay for a kid in high school back in 1996, anyway, I was upset because it took me a month to save up for a game just to end up buying this crap, and I could not return it because my mother only allowed me to go to the Mall once a month and I had no car, and the bus ride was a painful 2 hours from my parents house to the mall ...... lol.

I gave it away for free to a friend a few weeks later, the following week he gave it back to me and said "WTF were you thinking?" So I said to him that you can keep the game, he said "hell no I dont want that crap in my PlayStation ever again"....LMAO.

Few years later I moved out of my parents house and went on my own, the game got lost some how, now look how much it goes for on Amazon.com.

[kwicksandz]

far cry 2!

sooooooooooooooooooooooooo boring

[SnuggleBandit]

This gen: Assassin's Creed 1 and just like many above me, Far Cry 2. That's pretty much it for me though.

[Tachyon_Nova]

Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 is easily the worst game I own for PS3. Haven't finished it, never will.

Far Cry 2 is another one. I don't know why they even called it Far Cry, there are no similarities between 1 and 2. Ubisoft, you neutered a Crytek game, shame on you!

Mercenaries 2 is alright, but it's certainly nothing special.

[Gamerbee]

Remember when they tried to compare it to inFAMOUS? lol..Kinda like Dantes inferno to God of War. Though I did finish Dantes. but was a GOW clone.

[Faztkiller]

yeah Two Worlds

[Arnon]

Lol apparently I didn't hate those games. Actually, Overlord wasn't bad, I just didn't finish it. FFXIII and Far Cry 2 weren't too great, though.

[Inside_out]

Mass effect has some of the best graphics, great/interesting characters and story...BUT...some of the worst bugs/glitches I've ever seen...just couldn't finish it...

Far cry was an incredible game for me...one you have to take in little bites over time...One of my favorites this gen and I finished it but not all the achievements...worth playing IMO...

Lord of the rings Conquest on PS3...Good graphics....disappointing game play...Pandemic made the stellar Battlefront games but don't know what happen to this title...Pandemic is closed now...

Medal of honor Airborne...Rental, never finished the last level...decent game tho with good AI...bad spawn killing Multi-play...

War hawk...multi-player only...played a couple times...yrs ago...still sitting there...hope it's worth something...

Fable...Past and present...Kids finished it, I never did...maybe the third one...

Overlord...half-way then lost interest...

Wheelman...fun bits...when I have company, everyone wants a try...never gonna finish, same thing over and over..,

Red Faction...Fun bits with crazy physics and vehicle AI, great demo...same thing over and over...maybe one day...

Viking-battle for Asgard...good graphics...maybe one day...

Kane and Lynch...wait for part 2...Bought most of my games used...usually I'll rent first to see if it's worth buying...too many games...

Any and all PSP, DS games....

Bioshock 2...Looks worse ( graphics ) that the first game which was a Masterpiece....Multi-player alot like Team fortress 2...maybe one day...

[Beefstew4u]

Folklore. Most boring game ever, and you have to beat everything TWICE to beat the game.

[Storm23]

I know I will get a ton of disagrees, but I really could not get into Bioshock. I respect people saying it is their favorite game this gen and what not, but it wasn't for me. Great atmosphere...but that was it for me and that couldn't carry me past about 7 hours in. Most overrated game this gen for me actually. I really wanted to enjoy it though.

[Dude420]

I'm going to have to go ahead and say Modern Warfare 2. I started playing the campaign and intended to finish it. However, with other games distracting me, I couldn't bring myself to finish that POS, I mean it's always the same damn thing. You always have to rush to the next objective because there's always a never ending wave of enemies. That scripted BS took my interest off real fast and I didn't care to finish it.

I've played its MP for maybe 2 weeks and I returned it, IW really screwed the pooch with that game.

[LIL WAYNE BALD]

Tekken 6
far cry 2
lair
Assassins Creed

thats more then enough dissapointments

[Noctis Aftermath]

Devil May Cry 4, i was enjoying it but then lost interest about half way through.

Lair, unbelievable bad, luckily i got it pre-owned for $19 or i'd be p1ssed.

Folklore, now while i haven't finished it i do plan on doing it at some point, i don't think it's bad... more like... not very exciting?

Disgaea 3, graphics = terrible, story = terrible, humor = horrendously terrible, gameplay is actually pretty good, but i can't play a game on gameplay alone.

[likedamaster]

First one I can remember from last gen was 50 cent's 1st game on ps2. NFS Prostreet & Bionic Commando for PC. Horrible games.

I actually liked POP the recent one. I remember maxing out the settings(on pc) and the game just looking beautiful, it let you play with a controller too.

[BannedForNineYears]

Oblivion on the PS3. I'm sorry, I freaking hated that game.
And Far Cry 2, once you get to the second section you're like "There's more? Screw this".

[Darkstorn]

@1.33-
Bioshock took a lot of risks, especially in its narrative, and it has become a very polarizing game as a result. I understand where you're coming from, but I consider it one of my favorite games this gen because of two things - the atmosphere and the social commentary.

I admit that the shooting in Bioshock was a bit clunky (not worse than Fallout 3, though). Still, Bioshock was such a revolutionary game in so many respects that I think it deserves great praise, no matter how much you might feel impartial to some of the gameplay elements.

As for the game's message, game developers need to have balls of steel to tackle Ayn Rand-style libertarianism and come out unscathed (mostly due to the rabidity of that particular ideology...)

[aaron5829]

although i finished it... i struggled.. not because it's tough.. it's boring as hell !

[nix]

now that was one hell of a boring game. 10/10? like really???

i haven't finished inFamous either but that's because the game is so freaking huge. finishing one city itself took me eternity. lol. q:

[mal_tez92]

Got bored about 5 hours in. That was a very boring week.

Also Far Cry 2 and MW2 campaign.

And Dragon age just lacked any kind of fun.

[Lykon]

I did enjoy gtaIV very much at times but once i'd unlocked the 2nd island stopped playing it the friends mobile phone calls irritated me,

heavy rain ...omg what a waste of time and money

[theEnemy]

you couldn't understand simple english ?

[brianpk80]

Agreed with the poster above who said Magna Carta. I'm thinking of the original Magna Carta for PS2. I didn't read anything about it online just saw it in the store and thought it would be a good fit with my tastes since I like JRPGs and like finding neat things outside of the mainstream. I felt like I knew the big surprise 3 hours into the story; it was too obvious. Couldn't justify sitting through it.

(Dis)Honorable mention would go to Dark Cloud. Unfortunately, I did finish it since it was one of my first PS2 games and I was excited to have the system back when it was new.

[Ocelot525]

rascal on the PS1(the most frustrating controls i've ever known)

GTA2

final fantasy X-2

motorstorm 1 on the PS3(fun for 1 hour, than it's booooooorrriiiiinnnnngggg)

[bnaked]

It was really hard to finish Tomb Raider Underworld and Modern Warfare 2. It was a turture.

But the only game which i havn't finish is "The Getaway". Frustrating piece of sh!t and a huge disappointment..

[hay]

@Lou-Cipher: Yeah, I gave up in 12th chapter.

[Shadow Flare]

Final Fantasy 12 - bored me

Resistance 2 - completed the first but some of the set pieces in R2 were ridiculous and I got sick of dying again and again and again. And im not a rubbish gamer

Oblivion - I guess its not my type of game but its one of the worst games i've ever played. I thought it was absolute crap. I guess im a jrpg person and not a wrpg person but I thought oblivion on ps3 was awful. The first game in my life i've ever sold. I always keep all my games but I didn't want that thing in my house

[NegativeCreepWA]

Vampire Rain, I didn't even finish the tutorial.

[yesah]

Sacred 2 and Afrika

[AssassinHD]

I put in over 100 hours playing Mercs 2 actually. I played through once by myself, and then twice with the same save file getting a friend of mine through his game.

[duplissi]

enchanted arms.....(worst game ive ever played) *shudder*

alone in the dark....

haze...

goldeneye rogue agent....

lair... wasnt horrible but i just didnt care about beating it.

gears of war... while fun it also didnt give me a reason to give a shi* about beating it

bloodrayne....

gex...

stalker shadow of chernobyl.... controls were far too jittery had a hard time even getting past the first mission which really pisses me off because i really want to play it.

[Brewski007]

Well at least one. . . Infinite undiscovery for me. Square-enix really dropped the ball on that one. Utter let down.

[novcze]

My biggest mistake was Formula 1 `98. F1 `97 was great, but they changed developer from Bizzare Creations to Visual Science and result was horrible.

[Christopher]

Mercs 2 is one of the games I just can't get into as well. Another one is Ironman. Ironman was only $10 when I bought it, but it's not even worth that much.

The one game I was surprised I just didn't like was Braid. So much critical acclaim and general like by the gamers, I just didn't see what was so good about it. Got the first stage finished completely and the trophy and went... I'm just not having fun playing this and haven't been back since then.

On the DS there was Superman Returns... talk about one of the worst games I've ever played.

[IrishAssa]

FFXIII, People say it gets good at chapter 11 but I got to chap 11 and it was just the same thing except it wasn't on one path, Fight fight fight fight fight. So boring the game was. I put it down during Chapter 11 and haven't played it since .

A few more games too, Far cry 2, Gta4,

[forcefullpower]

That has to be the worst game I have played in ages. Even my friends watching me play it where utterly bored by it.

Edit: Also Prototype I felt like throwing my pc out of the windows it was that mind numbing.

[JsonHenry]

Just this gen -

Gears of War 2 - not a bad game, just not for me.

Command and Conquer 4 - BIGGEST.LETDOWN.EVER.

Supreme Commander 2 - Gimped so bad due to "consolization"

Heavy Rain - again, not a bad game, just not for me. (my wife liked it though)

Just Cause 1/2 - just can't get into it. Sorry.

Dragon Age: Origins - great RPG from what little I played, but the graphics even on PC were so bad I could not get into the game. I actually plan on sucking it up and beating this one eventually though.

Lost Planet - what a snooze fest.

Dead Rising - I enjoyed it for about 2 days then it just got old.

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - I only had the Wii to play this on, and I HATED using the Wii-mote to play this game. Otherwise I would have finished it.

[Christopher]

Plan on a lot of sucking, then. I played it on the PC and it too me a good 60-70 hours to finish the game on one playthrough.

I _really_ hate the trophies/achievements for this game as they require you to play through the game a few times to get them, which is just such a mindless time waster since the only different elements are the beginning and end, really. Everything inbetween is very repetitive the second time through.

I very much enjoyed the RPG aspect of the game, though, and will play through it at least once on my PS3 prior to moving on to Awakenings.

[BYE]

I don't know really if it's bad though it's just so freaking hard and complicated with the controls I never passed the first level lol.

Siren is not bad btw. It's the second best horror game this gen after Dead Space, you just have to appreciate japanese horror.

[nycredude]

Splinter Cell Double Agent I got rid off before I finished it. Not that bad but I took too long and played some awesome games so when I went back it was outdated and I just couldn't get into it. That is also why I don't understand the hype for SC:C. didn't the same people also make Double Agent?

[DavidMacDougall]

Dragon Rising! Game was a mess, i ain't ever going to get a shooter from CM again.

[Sarcasm]

I hate to say it, but Folklore was definitely one of those. I tried and tried and tried. It ended up so boring it just sits collecting dust. And it's not even worth trading in.

[jeseth]

Assassin's Creed (Boring, Repetitive)
DJ Hero (Cool at first, but they blend too many of the same songs)
Devil May Cry 4 (What happened to this amazing franchise?)
Fight Night Round 4 (Analog Sticks for punching sucked).
Bayonetta (Dmc 4 with T%$ts)
Brutal Legend (....crickets ....)
Overlord 2 (1st one was hiliarious, 2nd one was like beating a dead horse).

[andron]

Not this gen anyway. Mercenaries 2 was very disappointing. All the bugs and subpar graphics, annoying play mechanics killed it. Played it solo though, but doubt I would enjoy it any more in coop.

Also Genji: Days of the Blade, I had to give up on. The game wasn't to bad, if it wasn't for the game crippling camera. It made it impossible for me to finish that game. Too bad, because I enjoyed the previous game in the series Genji: Dawn of the Samurai. Both had a great fighting system, but with the camera ruining it in Days of the Blade. You can't counter and dodge if the camera won't let you see your enemies.

One that stands out is Death By Degrees on PS2, I hated that game. I knew it was bad from the reviews, and I got it dirt cheap, but boy was it bad and annoying.

I have a pretty high threshold when it comes to bad games and have finished a lot of bad games, but I usually find some small redeeming qualities to make me see it all the way through. I have actually platinumed Alone In the Dark and Tomb Raider: Underworld. Not great games, but certainly not the worst I have played. Very easy to platinum too, so that helped motivate me.

Not that trophies helped me with Mercenaries 2, I had traded it in long before that patch was out.

[Pennywise]

AC1
Bayonetta
FFXIII
GTA4

are my best examples this gen.

[UnSelf]

Whoever couldnt finish awesome games like Mercs 2 or Prototype are simply wierdos

[ico92]

Fallout 3 so overrated all you do in that game is walk ,have awkward conversations with NPC's and walk some more i got so bored with walking in a wasteland i just stopped playing the game all together, amazingly boring.

[mikepmcc]

Mirror's Edge...it certainly isn't a "bad" game, but I got up to the last chapter and couldn't get the motivation to finish it.

[CrazedFiend]

GTA IV.

It wasn't difficult or anything. I just found myself trying to push my interest enough to get through the story and just was not having ANY fun. Any fun that I had in the other games of the series (going on crime sprees, driving like mad through the cities) was just not there.

Sadly, I TRULY believe that game's Metacritic score was created through gaming politics and not the game itself.

[unknownhero1123]

there is only two games that I have regretted playing in my life time, advent rising and lair(pre control fix)

1. advent rising-when i bought this game I thought it was going to be good and it was until 1/3 into the game where something about the story p!ssed me off(when i say P!ssed, I mean it. I personally declare it to be the worst game I have ever played!).

2.lair-I bought it before the control fix and I just couldn't play the dang thing. should have held out for the fix though.

[anti-fanboy]

GTA4
GTA4 has to be one of the only games that I had to force myself to finish. Everyone will say its the best game the is tons of fun. But when you put it next to past titles there is no fun its just a drive here, kill them rinse and repeat game. TBOGT was the only reason I finished the game. Everyone who says its the best game in the series must of never played the others and was not able to enjoy the fun of the previous titles.

Two Worlds
Yea, nothing more I can say there Its never going to be beat.

[superrey19]

far cry 2 was so boring and repetitive.

[Hellsvacancy]

Prototype, i rented it aswel, too much of an awful game 2 finish, i didnt totaly hate it, it did hav sum (i say sum) joyful moments but, oh dear, wot were the devs thinkin? or smokin when they made it

[jerethdagryphon]

strange prototype was just a hack and slash near the end i didnt see it as too bad finished and platinum ed it

sonic unleashed once you get past its controls was an ok game enjoyable at times

the only game that ive found to be really bad and couldn't finish was enchanted arms and bethedas sea dogs

[Anon7349]

Was Prototype..... God, that game was awful. It came out almost at the same time Infamous did too, and I had to get prototype. Bad decision.

Returned it as soon as possible. Only got 45$ back.

[Therealspy03]

Well don't feel too bad. You could have spent the money on infamous and felt the exact same way. at least you were able to recover most of the cash.

to be honest, i think prototype's story is so bad that it's hard to finish. i never finished it. but, i do enjoy turning it on even now for 20-30 minutes of random mayhem. that game excels at giving you plenty of fun ways to kill lots of sh!t, and it does it all pretty seamlessly. i still agree though, it's a pretty bad game overall.

[Hank Hill]

The fact that Prototype didn't have a demo should have told you something.

[Darkstorn]

@2.4-
Uncharted 2 didn't have a demo at first. Neither did MGS4. Those are some of the best games this gen.

[Hank Hill]

Uncharted and Metal Gear are proven franchises and did have demos, Prototype was a new IP and never had a demo.

[AssassinHD]

I enjoyed Prototype actually, and I can see myself playing it again at some point. I played through inFamous twice so far and I can also see myself going through it again.

[Christopher]

I've started Prototype and don't really care for the controls and combat, but I do plan to go back and finish it at some point. It's not _that_ bad, just not that good either.

[kaveti6616]

There's plenty of games that I loved that I didn't finish.

I loved Gears 2 SP but didn't finish it. I loved Fallout 3 but didn't finish it.

One game I hated that I couldn't finish was Mass Effect on 360. There was just too many technical issues. One day I will play it on PC because it's a great game nonetheless.

[Lou-Cipher]

Mass Effect :o

That's just crazy talk. :)

I loved Mass Effect. To me, Mass Effect is the best game on the 360 only behind Mass Effect 2.

Both games did have a bit to many bugs (especially Mass Effect 1)but they never really made the game unplayable for me.

hope you find a copy that doesn't bug you (pun intended) so you can enjoy one of the best games this Generation. Well, at least in my eyes.

[Therealspy03]

I do see what you're saying though. I, personally, played through ME a couple times, but i absolutely know about those very frustrating technical issues that caused me to almost stop playing. for example, the sequence where you're navigating a planet on a main story mission (so it's not an explore map - it's a linear point a to point b map) in your vehicle, and you get near the end after 10-15 minutes of fighting, only to have the edge of the front of the vehicle graze over some "lava" and the vehicle is apparently destroyed.

[BYE]

Don't play Mass Effect on PC. It's buggy and has performance issues. Not worth it.

Jump straight to 2, this game runs perfect and I didn't encounter any bugs at all.

[ClownBelt]

Assassin's Creed. God that game was awful.

[eggbert]

I kept telling myself "It'll get better" but it only got worse and more repetitive.

The "Greatest Hits" title it has is deceiving, makes it look like a good game.

[yesah]

Assassins Creed is a great game, played through both and loved it.

[PS360_37]

I LOVVEED AC2, but 1 was SOOO boring by the end. Maybe because I am a completionist and had to try and find everything. I wouldn't call the game bad at all. IT was actually very good for a while. After 20 hours of looking for flags, it got boring :(

[BYE]

Oh yeah, I forgot about AC1, didn't finish this one as well. Sooo boring.

AC2 was great though, one of the best games and biggest surprises of 2009.

[Sunny_D]

Every 360 game ever released...

[kaveti6616]

You're a bit of a twat, aren't you?

lol.. i clicked on "Open Zone" exactly thinking someone might have said something like that. and bang! the first comment was exactly that.

chill people... it's an Open Zone for christ sake. i come here only for laugh and some rude, crude truth.

[Wrathman]

actually..i havent bought a ps3 game in 2 years so i havent had a bad 1 yet.

but the worst game i have bought this gen has to gears of war.i bought a limited edition version at launch.played it for 2 hours and returned it the next day.total trash.couldnt see the fascination.i like shooters but GOW went something like this...hold down the right trigger for the entire game!!!

edit..i played resistance once..OMG! that game sucked assballs.and you people talk about R3 like its good!lmfao

[Defectiv3_Detectiv3]

The SP is as mediocre as it gets, this game is all about the MP. There is just something about it that is so well balanced. All of the weapons are fun as hell to use, the headshots are actually challenging, and I like the fact that it doesn't try to be all uber realistic like CoD. When I play 1on1 matches w/ my friends, we'll use all the ammo in our guns and run around the map picking up all kinds of stuff. The headshots are actually challenging, there is nothing more rewarding then popping someone's cap with a sniper or a pistol.

[Auron]

Its most likely because youre too poor and cant afford games right? Or is it because you think you are cool backing a videogame console so you bash the other one like it slept with your girlfr....oh wait your defend videogame consoles you have no girlfriend lol.

In any case i hope its because you cant afford games.

[hamoor]

you most be the biggest xbox 360 fan because you bought every game for it

ha funny your mom said the exact same thing when i enquired about you she said "some homeless man gave HIM to me, said HE wasn't worth sht. "

Gears is alright but I completely agree with Halo being GARBAGE. I own Gears 1, 2 and Halo 3. Halo is painful for me to play.

I had to force myself to finish GTAIV. If i hadnt wasted € 70 on it i probably would never finish it.

[glennc]

first game that came to mind was GTA4.

[SmokeCheebah]

GTA4 bored the crap out of me, even though I was close to the end I just haven't been able to get back into it. It was more fun making cab drivers fight each other then it was playing the story and online.

[nix]

true.. that game was really boring. i just couldn't go on after 33%. all i did was drive the bus around the city but even that got boring. so there it goes.

[BYE]

GTA4? Are you trolling? This game is great!

It's just people were expecting it top be the next gen San Andreas which it isn't but it's still awesome!

[mivanc]

It took me persistence to finish it. I played a couple days, then stopped out of boredom.
Got back into it a couple weeks after that and finally finished it.

I ignored "friends" calling and just focused on story missions.

The game is not horribly BAD, but it was a let down.

Good thing I only paid 25$ for it.

[Rageanitus]

Popular games you never finished.

For me it was Halo Series... way to over hpyed for a Standard FPS. I think that is what cause me not to finish them...

[Tony P]

That is a flame war waiting to happen.

I could probably anger the whole of the internet with the popular games I have absolutely no interest in completing.

Edit: Ha. And apparently I've already angered someone just by mentioning that.

[STICKzophrenic]

So you played the first one, and didn't like it, so you decided not to finish it.

Along comes the second one, and you decide to play it, only to not like it and not finish it.

Halo 3 releases, and you played it, didn't like it, didn't finish it.

At what point do you stop being dense and realize the series isn't for you and just stop bothering with the games?

[Rageanitus]

I only played multiplayer, , the 1st two I gave it a good 7-9 hours and said phuck dis.

[Xlll]

MW2....yes i bought it....what a waste of 69.99 that was..

[duplissi]

lol yeah, but i finished it- not because i wanted to but because i sneezed and then the game was over..... traded it in 4 days later.

[Imalwaysright]

Frank herbert Dune for the PS2. That game was just awful.

[sukru]

Dante's Inferno
Saints Row 2
Conan
Tenchu: Ninja Assassin (fortunately only rented this one)
... and others

Although there were some I finished even though I did not enjoy. For example Force Unleashed is the top of that list (the controls were terrible, while the story was great).

[cool cole]

For me it was Shellshock 2, good thing I rented it though. Still a waste of rental money.

[Aphe]

Yeah that game was terrible, possibly the worst game I've ever played.

[cool cole]

Agreed

[soulzero]

ff13

[Bush]

Haze and Section 8

[CountDracula]

God of War 1,2,3

[chrisnick]

ok so here's what i think, you're either a troll, or just missing a chromosome.

[swiftshot93]

Its says a lot that you didnt finish 1 or 2, and still bought 3. You wanna stop being a tool and go troll where you're supposed to?

[Darkstorn]

The God of War series is a bit overrated (like Halo), but it's still a great experience. I'm playing through GoW III right now and it's one of the best games on the PS3.

[CountDracula]

I did finish all 3 games, but they all left me feeling so unsatisfied in the end of each one that they felt like the games that were unfinished. (Short as hell even for a hack n slash)

So a waste of time all the same.

[sukru]

Why did you bother to buy the second one if you felt the first one was unsatisfying. Let alone buy the third, after seeing first, second, and a demo!

At first I thought your post was sarcasm, now I believe you're just trolling...

[Boody-Bandit]

Another new troll account for them to police.
It's not like there isn't enough garbage on this site already.

[Darkstorn]

@13.4-
Actually all the God of War games I've played have been lengthy for an action game. I took 12-15 hours each for both GoW 1 and 2.

[CountDracula]

I'm not trolling I just bought the games because I thought all the perfect scores had to amount to something but sadly, no, only disappointment.

When God of War 4 comes around and gets perfect 10 scores by biased video game websites/magazines, I wont be fooled again.

[Xlll]

@jlg112592 whats your psn handle i want to see if you really did finish 3. Oh don't feed me the "i played it at my friends" line either troll.

[Aphe]

I finished GOW 1 last night, and thought it was excellent. Can't understand why you didn't like it tbh.

[Christopher]

Soo... then they weren't so bad you couldn't finish them, because you just said you did, you just posted them because you wanted the attention.

Gotcha. How about next time you stay a bit on topic rather than just wanting some attention?

[SpartanZero]

Every game with a mandatory install I couldn't finish turned it off after 5 minutes and throw it in the trash

[Darkstorn]

So your stubborn ways caused you to miss great games like Metal Gear Solid 4 and Bioshock? Whatever. Your loss.

[Agent_Cody_Banks]

I've never finished any game I've purchased. I don't know what the hell I'm buying them for. Typically they just give me a headache or cause me to black out. Wasn't ever really entertained by any game except that Crash Bandicoot cart racing game.

[nix]

wow... i hope you're joking. otherwise, it's sad.

[Auron]

and or stop buying them.

[PopEmUp]

Gravy Robbers is also known as a DUMBASS

[CountDracula]

Lair

and

God of War 3

[Xlll]

yup another troll.

[Eidolon]

recently FFXIII lol

[dkgshiz]

1.Far Cry 2- It was extremely boring. It literally made me sleepy.
2.FF13-It was just boring and I stopped playing two hours into it.
3.Devil May Cry 4- It was probably the most boring and unsatisfying game Ive ever played.
4.Dantes Inferno- I never even got passed the 1st screen. I just watched the intro were Dante is stitching himself up by the fire then the game started. Then I realized all I was playing was a horrible GOW rip off.

[CountDracula]

Last Rebellion

and

Bayonetta (the PS3 version)

[dkgshiz]

You should troll somewhere else.

[glennc]

what better place to troll than N4G... the home of trolls

[Hank Hill]

I don't understand how people buy bad games. That's what reviews, demos, Gamefly, and Blockbuster video is for.

[Darkstorn]

Parents buy crappy games for their kids.
Oh, and speaking of underrated media, King of the Hill is awesome ;D

[glennc]

it is because what annoys one person doesn't necessarily even get noticed by another person. i hated the vanishing cars/people in GTA4 and expected more than just a pixel update (and a bad one at thet) over the previous one. as far as i remember GTA4 reviewed quite well, but we all know why now.

there are also genres and stories that appeal to people so they buy it hoping it isn't as bad as the reviews say.

[silvacrest]

how many casuals read reviews? a fancy ad on TV is probably enough for most

gamers have no excuss

[Timesplitter14]

I've got a handful of good games that I enjoy but I never finished them.

Hitman 2, Syphon Filter, Spy Hunter to name a few

[ReBurn]

Same here. I have some pretty excellent games that I haven't made it all the way through yet. I get sidetracked by new games or my attention goes elsewhere.

I still haven't made it all the way through Assassins Creed 2 or Infamous, and I've had Infamous pretty much since launch. I'll go a month or so without playing it then start over because I've forgotten where I am.

[Dave1351]

Borderlands and Operation flashpoint for me. The games looked so cool but they were a waste of 60$

[dkgshiz]

I also bought Borderlands thinking it was going to be a great experience. It just put me to sleep.

[JeffGUNZ]

I got Operation Flashpoint on goozex.com and I was so excited. I put it in and the whole first mission I spent running around a map and didn't shoot my weapons once and didn't even see anyone. The AI was terrible and the story was so dry. Terrible game, I was so let down by that game. Put it back up for trade an hour later.

[chaostheory]

I can't get myself to finish Bioshock or Half-Life 2. The reason is I bought them on recommendations despite not liking first person shooters hoping they would be different enough to hold my interest, but despite interesting environments and some good moments I just can't get myself to enjoy the gameplay.

[Darkstorn]

WHAT!? Bioshock was one of my favorite games this gen (mostly for the social commentary, but the gamelay was impressive as well, IMO).

I do see what you mean about Half-Life 2, though. It can get repetitive and feel quite dated at times. I'm a completionist, so I finished the entire Orange Box collection, and came out liking the experience. Just remember the timeless advice that has been passed down from HL2 player to HL2 player - it gets better once you get out of Ravenholm.

[chaostheory]

I'm past Ravenholm I think the last thing I did (it's been a while since I played) is break some people out of prison or something. I'm currently stuck is some radioactive tunnel or something and I can't figure out how to get out.

As for Bioshock, I enjoyed the social commentary and loved walking through the environments and messing with the plasmids I just didn't find combat fun and just eventually lost the will to go on. I'll probably go back and finish it at one point when I'm board and don't have something else on my game list and don't feel like running through Uncharted 2 or Shadow of the Colossus one more time instead.

[closisawesome]

Borderlands
Mirrors Edge
Fallout 3

I hate those games

[BaSeBaLlKiD721]

the first Army of Two...

[redDevil87]

I played it a lot at my friends house, we basically aimed to do the campaign together as i didn't have a PS3 then.

WTF kinda game is that!

Drive, get ambushed, kill guards, repair car, drive some more, take malaria tablets, drive, get attacked randomly then die. Repeat it over and over again.

Thats basically the whole campaign, bored the sh!t out of me and my mate.

[ReBurn]

For me it was Halo 3. I bought the game thinking that it might just help me get interested in shooters.

I ended up trading it at Gamestop when they had a 10% bonus for Halo 3, which was going for $34.99 trade-in value, and a 20% trade-in bonus toward Super Mario Galaxy. So I ended up pretty much swapping Halo 3 for Super Mario Galaxy. Good deal if you ask me, all things considered.

[swiftshot93]

campaign was never Bungie's strong suit, but god damn you got a good game for Halo 3. Cant wait galaxy 2.

[Bathyj]

I dont know if I've ever bought a really terrible game.

I've return a few that didnt hold my interest but I dont know if I've ever bought a real stinker.

Hmmm, Conflict:Vietnam was pretty forgetable.

And we did have Strawberry Shortcake on Atari 2600, but that was my sisters.

[ReBurn]

Oh my gosh, I bought so many terrible Atari 2600 games. But I'm the kind of person that likes trainwrecks, so I played them anyway.

I actually enjoyed playing Pac-Man and ET on the 2600. Yeah, I'm that guy. The only bad games that I really, really hated were the Swordquest games. The instructions were awful and I had no idea what I was doing.

[troncoparati]

Bionic Commando, Godfather 2 and Halo ODST...

[Raptura]

The two I hated the most were Prince of Persia and AVP. I rented them, and regretted it.

[unicronic]

Pro Evolution Soccer (current gen versions only) - persistently broken multi player never fixed in 2 sequels

Lair - very shallow on rails game regardless of control system

Most Transformers games

Bionic Commando - Invisible Walls of Death & No backtracking

[jerethdagryphon]

lair isnt on rails you are in controll of the dragon and have your levels rto fight in, its pretty good if basic story and can be enjoyable

on rails means your just shooting in a fixed path not so with lair

[DigitalHorror81]

Never bought it, but Superman 64. Honest to God GARBAGE!

[STICKzophrenic]

I bought Splinter Cell: Double Agent and didn't like it. Traded it in to GameStop for a horrible return. Even if I were to never pick it up again, I regret that decision. I'd rather let a game collect dust than to trade in with them again.

Games I GameFly'd and didn't finish:

Far Cry 2 - Horrible game.
Kane & Lynch: Dead Men - This was such a bummer because the trailers were phenomenal. Too bad the gameplay sucked so bad.
Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction - Just isn't my kind of game.

[jesuisankit]

Come on guys we can go before games of this gen like Farcry 2, Lair, Vampire Rain etc...

I am sure some of the crowd here has heard and played the mighty "Legacy of Kain" that was the one game I tried hard to finish but gave up around 60% through the game... I am still shocked how I even went that far.. I didnt met any gamer so far (except one) who actually finished that game.. !!! The game itself wasnt bad .. but the camera, controls and platforming really killed.

[gareno]

for me:

1. GTA 4
2. Prince of Persia
3. Bayonetta

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Anything with a storyline really...

...you just hated?

Seriously?

What the heck is wrong with you?

Do you hate The Lord of the Rings too?

[Gun_Senshi]

GTA4 story sucked
Prince of Persia, the last one has no story
Bayonetta is a wannabe hentai

[madpuppy]

Will never be as good as the "Original trilogy" (tm Lucasfilm LTD.)

[frankymv]

lair

[CAPT IRISH]

brutal legend and wet

[TANUKI]

Something acrobat... for the SNES. You play as some... bat thing... that hops around and attempt to do some platforming here and there...

That is the only game I remember that I totally hated in the first 5 minutes of playing.

I can't even remember why I rented the P.O.S from Blockbuster...!

[Magna Farta]

I think the game you're thinking of is Aero the Acrobat.

But yeah, he kinda ranks up there with Bubsy as "the Most Annoying Anthropomorphic Animal Mascot that Never Went Anywhere...Thankfully"

[spunnups]

The new Prince of Persia was pretty bad. I still to this day have not finished it.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

What was it?

The believable acting?
The growing and well-crafted relationship between Elika and the Prince?
The fact that you didn't have to see "Game Over" every ten minutes?
The varied boss battles?

I guess you MIGHT be able to say it got a bit repetitive...but even then...it's a stretch.

[jerethdagryphon]

i didnt like the combat of pop i found it to be more of an extended qte the rest was ok

[AliTheBrit19]

In all honesty the single player campaign of Halo 3.

[meatnormous]

I 100% AGREE!! I bought the game and cannot stand it. I have never played online with it cause I know how much kids enjoy the game and I just don't want to put up with them.

I can already imagine what this bot did:

*Googled Playstation series*

Ahhh *nerd voice* here it is! *Click Wikipedia*

/delete any game series that was on Xbox or is currently on Xbox 360.

Yes yes *rub hands together* this will do nicely. *Nerd laugh*

*Copy and paste N4G*

In the meantime, I banged the bots' mom.

[NateNater]

Anon must have misread the title of the article. This is where you whip out the big list of failed 360 games, not AAA PS3 titles. Silly little bot!

[PlayStation360]

If you go through the dudes list: Jade Empire, Crysis, Mass effect 2, Pokemon, Zelda, Metroid Prime, etc. All of them are not PS games.

So come on y'all. No need to be jumping the gun and labeling this cat. I think he's being serious. He just didn't finish these games. That's all.

[PlayStation360]

See now that's what happens when people just glance through the title :/

Damn it Anon. And I loved most of those games you listed. GAH! This is what I get for just reading comments :P

*Cue rocket followed by a rainbow* I just got learned.

[TD_RJ]

You forgot to list your mom.

[JeffGUNZ]

No, he finished her, all over her face; oh!

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

DARK SECTOR......F#@k MY LIFE!

[madpuppy]

The killing moves got in the way when you were fighting multiple opponents, the kick mechanic was very poorly thought out. I think if the Main character had the ability to morph more than one weapon (maybe some melee edged weapons like a staff or something sword-like) it would have went a long way to improve the game.

The game had so much potential...what a shame...

[rezzah]

Sadly it was the last Spawn game made for the PS2. I love Spawn cause hes one of the most badass characters of all time. First game I ever had to send back too.

[spike]

Oblivion for me. I bought a 360 with that game and thought that game sucked.

[midgetsanx]

Suikoden IV. Terrible successor to III. At least, V was better.

[worm2010]

ASSASSINS CREED 1 & 2

both crap, both boring, both made by ubisoft

nuff said

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Are you sure you played Assassin's Creed 2?

It sounds like you just played the first one twice...

[The Wood]

ive still got it so i may retry it

[djfullshred]

Never played part 1. I picked up Assasin Creed 2 only because it was on sale, and instantly got hooked on it. I haven't finished everything only because of how massive that game is.

[Big_Mex]

The Bouncer for ps2. Holy crap was that bad

[TANUKI]

Hmmm, to each his own. I actually really liked it.

Just wondering, what did you not like about it? I guess the voice acting is kinda sketchy... now that I think about it.

[-MD-]

The Bouncer was amazing. I wish a sequel for that would happen.

[JonnyBigBoss]

The only games in my 200+ game collection that I never beat:

Overblood
Skate 2 (I loved Skate 1, though)
Halo 1
Halo 2

[Magna Farta]

Star Ocean The Last Hope
Final Fantasy 13
Leisure Suit Larry: BoB
The Fifth Element (PS1)
Tony Hawk Underground 2 (thanks in no small part to Bam Margera)
Golden Axe Beast Rider
X-Blades
Alone in the Dark (the new one)

I'm sure there are more but I'm done rehashing bad experiences for one post

[mt]

the last prince of persia

[m23]

Dark Sector, Need For Speed Prostreet.
Pure, not that it's bad, I just lost interest. There maybe some more as well.

[jalen247]

For me its Overlord.

I usually play 1 game till I beat it then move on to the next. I got pretty bored with Overlord and started playing other games. I have beaten 3 or 4 games since and haven't returned to it yet.

Lost Planet also lost my attention because of the bottle neck in difficulty. I am stuck at the Huge monster green eyes. I refuse to play on easy. I will eventually return to the game and play until I beat it.

Lair also has some difficulty spikes. I am stuck on one of the later chapters. Got tired on dying and trying again. I will return to it and beat it eventually.

I own too many games to sit there and die over and over again in any particular section of any game...especially if that game isn't that great to begin with.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

1. Final Fantasy XIII
2. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
3. Lost Planet
4. EVERY Grand Theft Auto except IV. I know you all liked the others more, but they were TERRIBLE!!! The plotlines, the acting, the repetitive missions, and the lack of just sheer fun really put me off...

I don't purchase games unless I know I'll love them usually.

[LtSkittles]

Actually, I haven't finish San Andreas, but I did finish IV. I like IV more than San Andreas. I did have fun with San Andreas, but I had more fun with IV. I mean you can throw stuff at people in IV, and then the cops will come after you.

[kraze07]

Brutal Legend, Far Cry 2, and Red Ninja: End of Honor. I had my doubts about Brutal Legend before I even got the game which was a gift from a friend, but Far Cry 2 and Red Ninja were just major let downs. Far Cry 2 was just boring as hell and Red Ninja's gameplay was just totally broken and imbalanced.

[The GOAT]

I just couldn't finish AC. The game started great. But then it never changed, it was the same stupid missions over and over. When a side mission is eavesdropping, you have really dropped the ball. Also the combat was terrible. But the climbing and stealth kills were awesome.

[-MD-]

Purchase and not finish? Rockstar Table Tennis? That's the only thing to come to mind and a big reason was because the difficulty ramped up too quickly and it just became lame.

To this day I can't believe that game was 60 dollars at launch.

[sparta76]

Mercs 2
Fay cry 2
ninja blade
orange box ( lot of my friends loved it! )
riddic

[kraze07]

Both Riddick games were pretty good imo. Well the first one was good but the new one was just decent. Never thought I'd here somebody say the Orange Box though. To each, his own I guess.

[worm2010]

yes

the italian accents were borderline stereotypical, the animation of the characters were crap(after playing UC2), missions were a chore,and overall just a crap game.

[Kakihara]

Far cry 2.

The Saboteur.

Ninety nine nights.

Wii Danny Devito spongebath party.

Saint's row.

Siren bloodcurse (I know most people love it but I found it anything but scary or well made. It had one or two creepy moments but the porn level dialogue, acting and characterization kept me from being fully pulled into any of them).

[Megulito]

i didnt finish it it was ridiculously horrible

[PS360PCROCKS]

I don't finish games cause they're bad I just get really bored if I don't finish it in like 2 weeks or less. I never finished Infamous, AC 1, AC 2, Ratchet and Clank, left 4 dead, lost Planet, Force unleashed, GTA IV, Far Cry 2, Devil May Cry 4 theirs so many I forget. Hell I haven't even beaten the final bosses on KZ2, Bioshock, Mass Effect.

Edit: Have to say though Far Cry 2 is the only one where I said "Fuc* this stupid shi**y ass game!!"

[kasasensei]

Maybe youre a casual player?

[-MD-]

You named some amazing games in there so I'm gonna have to agree with the guy below you and say you're just a casual player.

[nix]

wow... that's lot'sa games. i wonder why you would spend so much of money buying/renting games just because it's there. i mostly buy games that are exclusive to PS3 because of sheer quality. others i just pass. who has time to play average games.

i'm not a fan of FPS but i still finished KZ2.

[PS360PCROCKS]

Ya I think I am pretty casual. I have a hardcore passion for games and technology but I don't have the attention span to play games constantly.

Infamous - couldn't hold my attention
AC1 and AC2 - Got repetitive
Ratchet and Clank - I borrowed it and just didn't finish I had to give it back
left 4 dead - Did the MP mostly
lost Planet - Hated this game actually, didn't find it very fun
Force unleashed - Lame game
GTA IV - Played this game for over a year, just got sick of the missions and I would just turn it on to kill people.
Far Cry 2 - Game sucked. Enemies you can't see, drive and drive and DRIVE for everything
Devil May Cry 4 - Backtracking was idiotic, game was cool, it was just hard

[-MD-]

I'll agree on Lost Planet being bad... I couldn't play more than 2 hours of that game before I returned it.

I never finished GTA4 either, I bought it on launch and got through like 35% of the story then somehow lost complete interest and switched to multiplayer for a couple weeks.

[The Maxx]

LOL I finished Lost Planet, LOVED it, I also finished GTA IV...took a lot longer, had to pull it off the shelf long after I bought it, but I made a commitment and finished it. Glad I did as it really picked up halfway through.

[PS360PCROCKS]

Lost planet bugged me for the methodical way you moved! You're running through corridors with 80 rockets being fired at you and your moving like a slug, you couldn't dodge anything! But ya GTA IV was the same way for me, I think I finished maybe 38%. I do have to say though the bank mission was pure awesome, the movie heat in videogame form. But a lot of these games (Bioshock, Mass Effect, GTA IV, DMC 4, AC1, Lost Planet, left 4 dead, force unleashed I owned or gamefly'ed on xbox 360 so I can't go back now)
I sold my xbox 360 because I had it for 3 years and I wanted to indulge in ps3 for awhile. So I played the first few years of ps3 exclusives and I'm waiting for a natal bundle before I go back and experience ME2, Alan Wake, Splinter Cell etc. I did it as a time saver, I don't have time for more than one system and the sale of the 360 payed for my PS3.

[kasasensei]

Yeah lots of...
Saints Row 2 on pc, Ninety Nine Nights on 360, boogie bunnies on 360, eternal sonata on 360, need for speed prostreet on 360, kengo zero on 360, killer7 on ps2, final fantasy x and x-2....
So much wasted money....

[madpuppy]

the last PoP, the story was interesting but the gameplay didn't resonate with me.

Bionic Commando, blech! what trash!

AC1, cool idea wrapped around a bland, boring center.

Halo 2, I just did not like that game, I liked Halo 1 and Halo 3 but something about halo 2 just annoyed me.

Any damn Lego game, I had the star wars one for the nephews and it was just damn annoying.

[kraze07]

I don't really play Halo too much anymore, but Halo 2 was the best in the series imo.

[BinkyStalls]

bayonetta

[Monk3y]

But i never finished Assassin's Creed II, just lost interest

[g-nome]

Assassins Creed 2 and Far Cry 2 was two of the best games I have ever played , on the other hand I could not finish GTA4 or Red Faction Guerilla. Mercs 2 is ok and I would like to finish it, but now may savegame is on my ylod ps3 , so will probably never get back to it.

[baodeus]

Star ocean 4: last hope

God, the acting was horrible and all the characters are just annoying as hell. I did't get that kiddy/japanese humor crap either. All i want to do was skipping the dam cut scene and just fight all the time. Couldn't finish it (half way on disc 2). This is probably the worst JRPG this gen.

[UP]

Play the ps3 version it has Japanese voice acting with subtitles and you can have the traditional anime menu. Seriously the game is so much better with the Japanese voice acting.

[clarkdef]

Heavenly Sword I really didn't like this game meh

[sak500]

Yes ps3. Oops i though it meant hardware..

[Ch1d0r1]

Dragon Age...

After playing Demons Souls, Dragon Age looks like a POS. I dont know how this game ever got nominated for any awards.

[RagTagBnd445]

Maybe because you played it on PS3?

[PhoenixDevil]

but Elder Scrolls Oblivion, seriously i bout the goty edition the other day n quite simply hate the game shame coz my mates rated it highly, seems to b just me tho

[spooky205]

i have yet to finish it as well. Dragon age was a much more satisfying fantasy game to me in my opinion. I played fallout 3 before i played oblivion maybe that soured my experience?

[Aphe]

Hmm, where do I begin...

Shellshock 2
Far Cry 2
Messiah
Daikatana
Splinter Cell Double Agent (Because it was a broken mess)
AVP (The new one)
Stalker Clear Sky (took Stalker and killed off the parts that made Stalker great, thank God for Call to Pripyat)
Turning Point Fall of Liberty
Kane And Lynch
Final Fantasy 8

There's more but those stick out in my mind.

[Run_bare]

Eternal Sonata on PS3 (it was OK but i feel like a 5 year old playing it and it's so childish)

BUT the most dissapointing was Star Ocean 4 international on the PS3, turn it on, play it for 1 hour and go back to JB HIFI and swap it with "Paranormal Activity" on Blu Ray.

I am waiting for Nier on PS3, hope that is good.

[GodGinrai]

saints row ,fracture and prototype because they were just too dull. fracture did look pretty on my tv though....but it felt like a generic last gen tps...and the levels were too long. By the time i reached the third chapter i was done. guess looks aint every thing eh?

[xaviertooth]

to be honest 95% of all xbox360 titles and xbox 1 games are so bad and when i say bad that includes subpar graphics, audio and gameplay mechanics in general. its as bad as you want to go to redmond campus and slap it in the balding forehead of aaron greenberg.

[xaviertooth]

and am definitely very sure about it that all natal games will be like that i mean you wouldn't even want to start playing it... that's how bad natal games will be, 100% sure of it.

prince of persia
ffXII on the ps2
ass creed

[MrChow666]

Killzone 2, bad controls, boring story, pathetic characters, ill give it another try later tho, maybe its not the right momment for me to play it

[bjornbear]

not because it was bad, i LOVED IT...but right when i was close to the end save file messed up, had to start again, didn't have the heart for it =P

other than that...nothing else really =/ GTAIV almost but thats because i enjoyed doing stunt jumps and messing around than doing the story (got soooo boring)

[Rixynator]

Army of 2 is by far the worst game ever

[thehitman]

Kane and Lynch
Assasin Creed

Even though I have other games I bought I didnt fully beat yet its not really because they were bad some are actually really good just havent got around to them but those 2 games are really the worst games that graced my ps3 lol.

[Automat]

Leisure Suit Larry - Box office bust.....

[kingme71]

Brutal Legend when the game became an RTS halfway through. The action part was fun, but came to a thudding halt when it was RTS every mission.

Far Cry 2 when I realized I was spending 80% of my time driving and trying to avoid the ever spawning patrols.

[A-Bomb]

Oblivion - after playing fallout 3 it just seemed dated and slow. I don't think I'll ever finish it, just don't have the time and patience.

The last splinter cell on ps2, cant rememeber what it was called but it just bored me.

Halo the first one- bought it quite a few years after it came out, but it was so repetative I couldn't finish it, the Multiplayer was good though.

[midgard227]

1:halo odst (wtf was that)
2:magna carta 1 (ps2)
3:boring-lands (20 hours and couldnt take the skag killing anymore)
4:tekken 6 (just plain bad why the F do i have to play a bad side game to get endings???
5:fable 2 (no where as good as the first and wtf is up with me slashin someone and no one hits back? they just get angry smileys over their head, learn from oblivion lionhead)

6: oblivion (loved it, just way to F'ing long and distracting lol, i was missing other games that were coming out :D)

thats it i guess :D

[Official General]

I'm not saying that Saints Row 2 was terrible, it was just too gimmicky and cartoony-looking for me to take seriously. The dialogue and storyline was too simple and generic. Many people including myself were kinda letdown by GTA 4, but I'd still have GTA 4 over SR2 anyday. My copy of SR2 still sits there collecting dust, I'm getting Episodes of Liberty City for the PS3 instead. I played Assassin's Creed 1 a few times and while I loved the graphics and open-world, I just could'nt get into it, it just felt a bit too repetitive. I traded that game in for other games.

There are two excellent games that I really liked, but never completed and they were on the PS2:

GUN - I got far but I never finished it, I wish I did, that game was brilliant.

Max Payne 1 - I really enjoyed it, I got through just over half but still did'nt finish it.

[SPACEBALL 1]

GOD OF WAR III.... button mashing snoozfest

[midgard227]

why do u insist on calling action game button mashers when a button masher is a player who has know idea of what they are doing so they mash buttons till they win?

calling games like ninja gaiden and bayonetta button mashers is just stupid because there is so much depth,

YET as this gen is filled with shooters no one complains that shooters are just RT mashers. hypocrites

[UP]

I agree you can CHOOSE to play it like a buttonmasher.

[bjornbear]

*sigh*

yes buttonmasher to casual gamers

hack and slash to real gamers

[SPACEBALL 1]

u fanboys are funny... how is god of war not a button masher??????? i dont like it, i think it is boring. im sorry i hurt your feelings, but get the f*ck over it. call me whatever you want. im just as much of a "real gamer" as you f@gs think you are. its just funny how much you fanboys worry what everyone thinks of your "babies".

[UP]

its not a button masher when you do not play it like a buttonmasher like most god of war fans do, try to beat and of the god of wars on the hardest difficulty buttonmashing. Try it.

[SPACEBALL 1]

you still havent explained to me how its not a button masher. whether on hard or easy, the base gameplay is still button mashing. maybe you have to roll sometimes, but the combat is nothing but button mashing... if you can explain to me how the game isnt a button masher, please try it.

[e-p-ayeaH]

And that game was pretty awesome but it had some issues and then i sold it and now i might just buy it again cause it was really something else.

i rarely finish a game :x

The list of Finished games is way less then unfinished ones. I prefer online playing and switch games frequenly.

This gen if I finished 10 games its alot, considering I have over 100 games this gen haha

I'm talking about "high profile"games from Bioshock to even Mass Effect or Uncharted 2

[RagTagBnd445]

Neverwinter Nights 2.

[lizard81288]

for some reason i didn't like it and i like indiana jones

Heavy rain for me!!

[Surt]

It begins with W and rhymes with pee.

[4pocalyps3]

its bayonetta, dantes inferno and...ff13. i just cant bring myself to finish them >_<

[Sheikah]

Well, Bayonetta is horribly overrated, imo :p

[MagicAccent]

World of Warcraft.

But seriously though, I bought the Half-Life Generation box, and I never did finish those 2 expansions. They just didn't have the charm of the original :/

[Lirky]

It was hard and bad but had a weird nostalgic feelure to it.

[BigKev45]

How about State of Emergency? That was so bad.

I must say it was Final Fantasy 12. That game really sucked!! That is why I like Final Fantasy 13 so much, it is a huge improvement from 12.

[MaximusPrime]

In the old days, halo 2.

Right now i'm almost quitting FF13. I spent too much time on Burnout Paradise, PS Home and LBP. :S

[dkgshiz]

PS3 version of DAO was better then the 360 version. Unless your talking about the PC version.

[DeeBee]

I feel really old when people (like MaximusPrime) say "In the old days" and then mention a title that's not really that old LOL

Anyway, games I bought (stupidly) and gave up on:

Daikatana, yes Romero made me his b!tch on that one.
Vampire Masquerade Bloodlines, bugged to the hilt and a real pain to play.
Black & White, not too bad initially, but after a while you begin to hate it.
Spore, can anyone say bait-and-switch!?

[Pumbli]

All the time, too many to mention.

[Sheikah]

FFXIII and GTA IV.. Oh, and I played it a tonne of hours - and it's *still* not hooking me.. Sadly enough.

[frostfr0g]

Farcry 2, Assassin's Creed, and Lost Odyssey... made it to disc 3 on LO and just couldn't go on anymore with the same old town -> dungeon -> boss -> town routine on top of the lackluster story

[TechNique]

to name a couple Bionic Commando. that was a piece of @%!^ i tried time and time again couldn't do it. Mercs 2 i still have it but havn't had the will to finish it.

Sonic the bloody hedgehog!!!!! (not Sonic Unleashed, I actually REALLY enjoyed that game. I'm talking about the earlier one that came out for the PS3 and Xbox360)

I have NEVER been so pissed off at such a shoddily made game. It's the only game I have ever bought which I have never finished!! I think I got as far as the snow section....then I wanted to throw up! Piece of $hit game and probably one of the few times I actually agreed with the web reviews. I was so pissed off with it, I actually gave it away for free to a friend just so it wouldn't taint my game collection!! lol

[Szarky]

By far the game that has been brought up the most and I would have to agree as the biggest disappointment has to be FAR CRY 2!!! I almost threw my controller out the window playing this junk. Drive, ambush, repair... drive, ambush, repair... IT NEVER ENDS! That's what you're doing 80% of the time. It wouldn't have been so bad if the enemies didn't keep re-spawning at the same god damn checkpoints EVERY TIME! I wanted to like this game so much, it could have been an awesome game. I still think it has the nicest bushes, trees and grass in any game I've ever played. The levels were beautiful, the game design - awful.

[blodulv]

Thought the game was/still is gorgeous. But ultimately, it got the trade-in treatment.

[click 2 get virus]

Army of Two. Horrible Horrible Game.

[blodulv]

Luckily I only rented it. Still, big waste of $9 @ Blockbuster. How this game got the review scores it did is beyond belief imo. Yes, you can cause massive destruction in multiple types of situations. But to lump this game in with the handful of other amazing AAA games that actually deserve their high score... Confused.

And yes, I took into account that it was supposed to be like a B-movie, blah blah blah.

[blazed13]

i know people are gonna disagree with me but imo gta 4 and resident evil 5 were teriible for me could not get around to finishing gta 4. im just talking about this gen.

Blazblue the new 2d fighting game.. played it once for about an hour.. traded it back in .. twas $hit

[DelbertGrady]

Most 1 vs 1 fighting games feel dated to me. They haven't evolved much since Street Fighter 2 really. There was a time during the PS1 era when Square released some groundbreaking titles such as Bushido Blade 1 & 2, Ehrgeiz and Tobal 1 & 2. Kengo for the PS2 was great as well.

After that it just stopped and nothing new has happened since. Couldn't care less about Tekken 6, Street Fighter IV etc. Give us something new.

[Dead_Cell]

Bubble for reminding me of that awesome game.

[The Milkman]

You know Sacred 2 got some bad reviews but me and some friends really want to play something similar to Gauntlet, so we decided to all put it on our gamefly list. I just don't see how it could really be all that bad with a game with not much to it. I mean all I'm asking from it is a fully playable story with 4 players, cool armor/upgrades, many different monsters to fight, and a good selection of different environments to play on. I'm not asking for grade A graphics or sound really. Hell the story doesn't have to be all that great either I just want to kill stuff, level up, and show off with my friends.

Yes I expect the game to enhance over the years. I just don't believe it has to on par with most other games graphically. As long as it keeps the key elements and adds more, making it more addictive to play then it's fine with me. These games are mostly meant to play with friends that's why it is important to have multiplayer a main function or else they miss the point.

[tigertron]

Spider-man 3. Why couldn't Treyarch make this good?

[lucifon]

FF13 most recently for me! But this happens quite often

[djfullshred]

current gen console games come to mind for me...

Force Unleashed - controls were so sloppy...I got so freaking pizzed on the first platforming section that I never played it again, and sold it to Gamestop.

Brutal Legend - Started out to be what I thought was a GREAT game. By the third stage battle RTS section, I quit feeling very annoyed. Never played it again, and have no desire too.

Prototye - Was cool at first, but then all those arena style fights towards the end just got too annoying to keep playing. The controls were too vague to be a good melee combat game, and the health regeneration system of absorbing people became a nuisance taking away any chance of real strategy in a fight.

[Figboy]

i think it's a prime example of the sheep mentality that the populace has.

it is "cool" to hate on FFXIII, despite the fact that it is probably the BEST JRPG to release this entire generation (games like Valkyria Chronicles and Demon's Souls aren't traditional JRPGs, so they don't count. lol).

i think the story, narrative structure, and characters are rather fresh and unique for a JRPG. it forgoes a lot of the cliches that riddle most JRPG stories uninteresting.

the battle system is much better than in FFXII (which i also loved), and actually forces you to think on your feet and quickly in order to survive.

considering that the battle system and the story are the two BIGGEST aspects of an RPG that determine quality, i don't see how FFXIII fails on that part.

Good story? Check
Awesome battle system? Check

the fact that the visuals are astounding is another notch in its favor.

i also don't get this "suffer through the first 10 chapters" bit i'm constantly hearing.

i'm at chapter 7 or 8 right now, and i've enjoyed every minute of the game. i simply don't know what a lot of you FFXIII haters were expecting with the game, but i haven't been disappointed one bit.

i find it funny that RPG pundits are constantly whining about how the RPG genre is growing boring and stale (but the FPS genre somehow ISN'T?), and that they want something new and different, but then, when an RPG that is genuinely new and different comes along, they sh*t all over it.

this mixed messages the gaming community is sending the gaming development community has to stop.

FFXIII is a GREAT RPG.

i have a feeling that if it wasn't saddled with the baggage of the Final Fantasy name, it would be getting praised for the very things that the gaming community is tearing it down for.

it is quite the departure from older FFs (i'm pretty much played them all at this point), but that's a GOOD THING. my god, i remember when FFIX came out, gamers were whining about the "tired" FF formula. X, XI, XII, and XIII have actually deviated from the formula, and, surprise, surprise, those are the most disliked of the entire franchise (with a few folks that enjoy them, of course).

it's confusing.

anyway, on topic, i'd have to say Prototype was one that was simply not compelling enough for me to want to finish. not bad, just repetitive after 30 minutes. i got about halfway through before i stopped (at least it FELT like it was half way through).

i generally try and complete the games i buy, but i'm also extremely discerning of what i spend my money on. i buy games that really truly interest me, not games that are hyped as something that i'm told i'll love (ie, Modern Warfare 2; i HATED IT). i'm a lot less disappointed when i keep my expectations in check and just go along for the ride that the game is offering.

i bought Darksiders when everyone was trying to downplay it for having elements from other games, and i LOVED IT. it'd have been different if it did those elements POORLY, but it didn't, so why the fuss.

this generation is a generation full of spoiled brats and whiners, who aren't satisfied with ANYTHING unless it is flawless and perfect in every way, or unless it has a mode where they can shoot each other while spouting racial epithets.

[DeeBee]

I have to agree with you on the FF XIII part,I just don't get what all the hate is about either. Like you said people said FF was getting old, boring and the same old same old ... Square changes it up to appease the vocal crowd and what happens? They complain about the changes! You just can't win sometimes.

I've played all the iterations of Final Fantasy (save for the online versions) and, whilst I did feel some of the changes made along the way were strange/awkward, I got used to it and found the games to be great.

[AnonUser5555]

Really? You guys don't get the hate?

This gaming is BORING AS HELL.

To say otherwise is to just blindly support anything Square does.

Did you really enjoy running straight forward for 30 hours?

[Figboy]

the story and characters are compelling.

the plot is surprisingly interesting and engaging, and even though i don't like ALL the characters (Snow grates on me), i find them interesting.

as for the flow of the game itself? i don't have a problem with following a linear path.

i'd understand complaining about it if the environments and locales were bland, but in my opinion, they are beautifully rendered and unique.

you never know where you'll end up next, and it's quite a nice revelation when you DO get to a new area.

the narrative, characters, and locations are what are compelling you to continue playing.

this applies to MANY games, but especially RPGS.

the battle system in FFXIII is also very good, and i enjoy the way it's paced, so that new abilities/facets of the battle system are unveiled the further you progress. it's a very progressive game design element. it rewards you for going forward.

as for blindly following Square; Final Fantasy XIII is the FIRST Square product i've purchased from them this entire generation. so far, ALL of their RPGs until FFXIII have been horribly mediocre (i said i didn't buy them, not that i haven't played them). FFXIII is their best effort, and it IS a quality RPG.

i don't mind that the game doesn't cater to the ADD crowd by throwing a bunch of distractions their way for the first 30 hours of the game so they can, oh, i don't know, DEVELOP A STORY.

i never got that, in traditional RPGs of the past, why the hero would traipse about the country side, visiting towns and farming for XP, when the very FATE of the world is at stake.

FFXIII dares to LOGICALLY follow a believable story path, with characters behaving relatively logical (from the world view of the game, if not by our real world standards), and game play elements like traversing the world are implemented at the appropriate time in the story.

tell me, what is so gripping about the Fallout 3 narrative? it's about your character looking for their father. yeah, that's riveting stuff right there (i LOVE Fallout 3, but i'm not about to pretend that it has some fantastic narrative at work).

the game forsakes any semblance of a worthy story by resting on the open-endedness of it's world. even so, after all your aimless wandering and completing of side quests, what did they really offer the world you were exploring? did things really change and evolve, and shape themselves to your game play? no. it's supposed to be open world, but in the end, each player's story is nearly the same. what's the point of such detailed character creation, when you aren't really able to make the world/story your own?

FFXIII has a fixed narrative, with premade characters and histories, but in the end, that makes it a bit more compelling than the "open structure" narrative of games like Fallout 3. by the way, don't think i'm slagging on Fallout 3, because i really do love it, i just don't think it's any better or worse than JRPGs.

even Mass Effect, which i also love, herds your Shepard (no pun intended), down a set path, with set conclusions, albiet a lot more tailored to your choices than other games.

people praise open world games, but in the end, they are just as linear and structured as a straight up linear RPG like FFXIII.

it's a shame you found FFXIII boring, and i'm actually curious as to what you thought was boring about it, but i found it highly entertaining and fascinating. i'm enjoying the characters and the world, and unlike previous FFs, the battle system is so engaging that i can't say i can complain about the linear structure to it (no random battles also makes navigating those areas a cinch).

for me, FFXIII is like reading a good book, but i'm playing it. i can accept the slow parts, and characters that i'm not a fan of (i'm currently reading the Wheel of Time series, which is FULL of characters that i can't stand, and slow points that put me to sleep), because the overall experience is so fresh and unique, especially for someone who's been playing JRPGs for a long time now.

[AnonUser5555]

LOL.

Brütal Legend started off great but went from Motörhead and Judas Priest to Linkin Park and HIM, if you know what I mean. If they had just skipped the RTS part it could have been one of the best games this gen.

Add me to the FFXIII crowd. I've been a Playstation gamer since Final Fantasy 7 came out, and I've played all since then.

FFXIII is a piece of crap.

[advent66]

Quest 64, Overlord II, Folklore, The Last Remnant...

I started out liking all of these games, but after a couple of hours, it was all over. I could not play them anymore! Boring and repetitive...all of them meet the criteria.

[Kazu0 Hirai]

Devil May Cry 4 (repetitive and boring)

Far Cry 2 (repetitive and boring)

Resistance (horribly generic, did nothing to keep my interest)

Infamous (cool concept but ultimately I lost interest, got boring real fast)

Prey (started off great but when the weird spiritual sequences started I was like f*ck this)

Dead Rising (excellent game but the way the campaign was structured was horrible with the whole timed thing, I felt like I was being rushed through the game)

[mcnablejr]

rented heavy rain.. didnt finish it simply cos i cba w my ps3// too much hassle. it was alright. not my sort of game.

the campaign of bfbc1 was awful... errr i didnt finish that.. but mp was alright.

woooww

such a title ..prefect for some trolling lol

Anyway i couldn't finish alundra 2 .. really bad especially after the first ...

[TheColbertinator]

I agree with Ali.I could not finish Halo 3,keep falling asleep at certain levels.As for the Halo 3 multiplayer,its ok but I could spend my time playing much better games.

[The Milkman]

You know I have no problem SE and they do make great games. FFXIII just wasn't one of them. Actually I would like them to just forget about adding onto FFXIII and go back to making one more like FFVII. I was very disappointed that the moves in the game didn't look impressing. The only cool part about the fighting was the juggle. Yes the summons looked cool but besides that one time you actually summon them everything is just bleh and repetitive. I honestly thought the story wasn't all that either. They just tried something new with this one like they do with all others. I like SE for doing twist to their games so I will still check out the next game they make because it will probably be different.

[n to the b]

prob every1 here has abandoned games. but did u ever play thru a BAD GAME in spite of its BADness?

I'm guilty of mostly NES bad ones, b4 I learned better. more recently: ...um, I guess I've played thru most of the 3D mortal kombat games. even *shudder* MK armageddon.

[Petebloodyonion]

10) Technocop (genesis) The paper ads was awesome, the game... well not really.

9) Halo (Xbox) Ok I have nothing to complain about the game except this: redoing the same map 4 times (the tower maps). 2 times with the convenants and you redo them when you come back. Sorry it was more then enough.

8) WWF in you @ss sorry in you house (Psx Saturn)
Love the arcade game, the sequel well ... 1 frame, crappy move, cheap voices oh yeah nicest background...NOT

7) Bubsy (Snes and Genesis)( I won't even talk about the 3d version) Lets see: 3000000000 stages where you do the same and the same and the same

6) Die hard trilogy 2 (psx)Im honest I never finish the 1st due to being to repetitive but at least it was fun. The sequel..... NO

5) Any Boxing games before Dreamcast that doesn't have Punch out in the title.

4) Bug (Saturn) 50 hours + games doesn't equal fun. It's usually equal repetitive and boring gameplay.

3) Reboot (PSX) I would expect form a green lantern clone to have so many weapon with the glitch tools NOOOOOOO I was tired after the 3rd stage (tks to cheat code I was able to see all the cool cutscene)

2) Any game made by LJN or Acclaim staring the Simpsons (Bart vs the space mutants on the nes, Krusty....)

It's time .......
(before I mention number 1 I'll be honest, I finished this game because of the brand name)

1) Zelda the wind waker (Gamecube) Again this game is ton of fun except for one thing and unfortunately you do this thing 90% of the game. Yep the freaking boat and the wind sound.
Call me crazy but my wasting time delivering Pizza,maps and other errand while having to change the wind every 5 second is far from fun.
