Tried Dead Rising 2 once, the gameplay was incredibly boring, using random props to hit zombies was not appealing, the story was schizophrenic, dropped it after and hour or two of pure boredom.
DARK SOULS 1
I played it to the half point like 12+ times but everything after anor londo sucks except maybe the archives afaik. Frick tomb, frick lava, and most of all frick new londo.
i beat Elden ring a few times, but now i almost always just say >welp time to make a new build
when i make it to the fire giant. I just cant be bothered with that shit boss

MGSV
I actually like it but I get really bored of it within weeks and I never finished it, both on Xbox and PC.
Idk if it counts but I also quit Ape Out's Arcade Challenges because they were the most bullshit RNG trash i've ever seen
Drakengard 1, I hate to say it but I was unequivocally filtered by the gameplay
I think it's the only single player game I've dropped midway in the last 6 years
Persona 5.
Going from SMT4:A which had a shit story, shit characters, but amazing gameplay. To Persona 5, which had a shit story, shit characters, boring as frick gameplay, AND dragged itself out as much as it could was absolutely awful.
Persona 5 is half filler, game would be tolerable if there wasn't so much repeating dialogue or pointless interruptions. 3 had interesting writing, 4 had a group that felt like a natural group of friends. 5 has neither
>Persona 5 is half filler,
So is P3, and P4. But I enjoyed those games more. I think the worst thing P5 does is drip feed its content far too hard, and also slows everything else down to a crawl (animations, game play, the loading times etc.). Everything about P5 is slower than the P3 and P4.
greedfall, mainly because it doesnt have an option to separately adjust the character textures and since my computer sucks i either have to play with shitty textures or shitty performance
Gangland >that mission where you have to get 1mln in an hour >fail repeatedly, every time just restart the mission cause I know I won't make it (barely collected 200-300k in a half hour) >can't go and kill anyone, or the mission is fail >one time just say frick and wait for the timer, maybe the cashflow will increase in the last 20-10 minutes >I was supposed to fail. After the timer runs out you get a new objective which is killing every family on the map
I've won butt dropped the game like a sack of potatoes and never picked it up again.
GTA IV. Expected a lot from it but missions were too boring and shooting wasn't fun at all.
Tomb Raider (2013). Hilariously mediocre game.
Fallout 1. It's great when you explore the map for the first time and dig into atmosphere but doing quests is just meh. I always think that I have funnier things to do. Gotta finish it one day though.
Octopath Traveler... It wasn't in the halfway but right in the beginning before some missions. I simple don't understand how people can like this type of game;
I enjoy JRPGs here and there, Octopath Traveler is just a bad game. You're basically playing the same loop dozens of times and the party members don't really interact in meaningful or fun ways at all.
I've tried to make it through Dragon Age Inquisition three times and never made it to the finish. The shit gameplay, garbage story and worst Bioware companions ever eroded my patience every time.
Hollow knight. Bosses themselves aren't even that difficult. But that god awful map and moron navigation made going from point a to point b a tedious exercise.
I have zero interest in continuing Elden Ring after like 10 hours playing, so not even half-way. And I enjoyed all other Fromsoft games a lot. The open-world part just doesnt click for me.
I initially came here to say this, but since it's already been said I'll swap my input to Divinity Original Sin.
I've tried beating that game more than six times, but every time I start a playthrough I wind up quitting before I even make it out of the starting seaside area. I've been told by friends that the game immediately gets immensely better as soon as you leave the starting zone, that the starting zone is one of the worst ones they've ever experienced and that it shouldn't cloud my judgment of the rest of the game, etc, but I just can't bring myself to keep playing. It's genuinely painful.
owlboy, game is pretty, but incredibly mid, i kept playing cuz i thought i was near the end, only for the game to pull a new chapter out of its ass, when i saw that i quit immediately and uninstalled the game, i installed Freedom Planet on my Steam Deck instead, it might be ultra cringe, but atleast the gameplay is fun
Hollow Knight but more like 4/5s of the way though. Game is padded to shit and just doesn't feel very good. I'm honestly stumped by the praise it receives.
Spider-Man PS4 >(the lack of) swinging physics
Resident Evil 3 PS1 >don't remember the exact reason, just didn't feel it like RE1 and 2 and gave up when I got stuck for first time
Skyrim PS3 >played the lengthy tutorial and never continued past that to this day
The blandest piece of shit I've ever slogged through. Nothing but a stream of unlikeable characters, unengaging story, and boring, dated gameplay. I got to the part where you're moving braziers around some ancient ruin (woah! never seen that before!) and quit.
No idea how people were excited for the sequel.
Skyrim/Witcher 3 were 2 horrible fricking games. Im not sure what sort of mkultra marketing it took to get people to like that slop but they were easy refunds.
FFX
Frogun
Only can remember Nioh 2.
Kids call this being filtered, but it's bigger problem is the lack of interesting story.
nothing says filtered more than getting triggered by the word filtered
SMTV is not an interesting game
Tried Dead Rising 2 once, the gameplay was incredibly boring, using random props to hit zombies was not appealing, the story was schizophrenic, dropped it after and hour or two of pure boredom.
No more heroes 3 but I wasn't even halfway
Final Fantasy 12
The Last Remnant
TotK
I was just not having fun and the gimmicks became just busywork
Luigis Mansion 3
DARK SOULS 1

DS2
Everything about it sucks
bad taste
>ouya controller
lel
Hollow Knight
it's the game that taught me that metroidvanias aren't for me
tbf, Hollow Knight sucks. You spend 95% of the game commuting.
Try playing a more elegant game like SotN
thanks for the suggestion
will look to check it out

Redfall, even on gamepass I could not finish it

Pretty much all of them. If I don't play something for 2-3 days my brain forgets it exists
Crysis
Not as fun as I remember
I've tried to make it through Dragon Age Inquisition three times and never made it to the finish. The shit gameplay, garbage story and worst Bioware companions ever eroded my patience every time.
i couldn't even make it past the frickin start of the game
i remember nothing besides the experience being comparable to eating sawdust
It's effectively mmo slop without any other players.
Tears of the Kingdom
Hollow knight. Bosses themselves aren't even that difficult. But that god awful map and moron navigation made going from point a to point b a tedious exercise.
You literally have tons of warp points.
Skyward Sword.
And actively aggravating experience.
No not do to the controls.
But do to all the crummy design and all the compromises.
90 % of them
Pretty much every jrgp ever. How the frick do people stomach that shit.
Hollow Knight. It was boring as frick and dragged on forever.
I have zero interest in continuing Elden Ring after like 10 hours playing, so not even half-way. And I enjoyed all other Fromsoft games a lot. The open-world part just doesnt click for me.

Shadow of the Colossus
Dragon Age Origins
Bioshock Infinite
Assassins Creed 1
I hate RPGmechanics slop so much its unreal
Why couldn't it just be an edgy zelda like the first game
owlboy, game is pretty, but incredibly mid, i kept playing cuz i thought i was near the end, only for the game to pull a new chapter out of its ass, when i saw that i quit immediately and uninstalled the game, i installed Freedom Planet on my Steam Deck instead, it might be ultra cringe, but atleast the gameplay is fun
today, i will remind them

Far Cry 6. No redeeming qualities. Only got so far because I was playing co-op. Wish I'd just refunded.
Far Cry 3.
Every Zelda game ever

Dishonored 2 was so fricking boring, i didn't care about the story and the maps were way too samey
Skyrim/Witcher 3 were 2 horrible fricking games. Im not sure what sort of mkultra marketing it took to get people to like that slop but they were easy refunds.
