The Witch and the Hundred Knight, for story reasons:
The protag witch defeats a rival of hers (who from what I remember, isn't evil and is just someone she dislikes) and transforms her into a rat. She then summons a bunch of other rats to chase/rape her. Nope.

I don't think anybody said it had to be main story related? lol. You can nope out of a game at any point in time. I noped out of Pokemon Sun and Moon after I beat the main story and saw what the endgame was. It's still noping.
Also, just because it's bonus content doesn't mean that it's endgame. I did those quests before I beat the game sooooo...?

God of War HD - that bit when you get to the top of the building where you're
and you get attacked by a bunch of monsters. My interest had already been damaged by the portion where you
, and getting to
made me realize I'd had enough. It wasn't fun, it was just many enemies, and I don't like how you get hit once and take so long to recover so by the time you're almost ready to move again you're already being hit again.
Oh, and lets not forget Call of Duty Ghosts - the first time you
. It felt way too forced and I was already not enjoying the game to begin with.
Honestly same. I am an arachnophobe and can't stand spiders, and it's really annoying how they wind up being so common in games. That bit in Skyrim (Bleak Falls Barrow) is too much IMO. The bear replacement texture mods were very helpful.
chasing the one girl (the one who has the key)
have to face the two enemies in the narrow hallway and get one of them to stand on a floor switch to open a gate
the rooftop and noticing just how many enemies there were

control the dog

Ugh. I did soldier on through that anyway, but I definitely feel you there.
Dark Souls 2 had me nope out at the Pursuer boss. I was frustrated the entire time I played but the janky gameplay, messed up healing system and nerfed dodge rolling made me pack it in.
I beat him just to prove to myself I was ditching DSII because I hate it, and not because I couldn't beat the first real boss.

Not difficulty related but in LA Noire when
turned it off after that case and never went back.
the game made me charge a few people in a row with murders when I wasn't happy/convinced it was them and then goes "you fucked up, they were all innocent"

The stealth in Deus Ex:Mankind Divided works very well and controls nothing like Fallout.

Someone in Metal Gear Solid 2 gravely exclaimed:
"The La Li Lu Le Lo?!"
I checked out of MGS on the spot and didn't come back until MGSV.

My moment was when for some reason you cheat on your wife and the whole department turns on you. It was out of your control and out of character.
That was the worst, after that year, when I came back to the game I actually beat the Tower Knight in my 3rd try, but it was the combination of everything (I died around 50 times on that bridge trying to reach him that made me "Nope" as soon as I saw him; I quit the game several times for months at that point) Funny enough, after beating him, the game "clicked" with me and I finished the game in a month.
Something about the movement turned me off. Hard to describe but I was expecting movement more like a MGS5 and it was alot more awkward and snap to certain points which I didn't like.
I hate wasting money so I will try it again sometime down the road.

Dead Rising and the bomb collection mission. I'd been enjoying the game greatly up to that point but it was just too much for me. Why they would ever make a mission that frustrating I'll never know.

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
I meant whoever did the voice acting rather than the character herself, but your link makes me like the character a whole lot less (especially when you have to explain a characters' age with a parenthetical...).

After 3 hours of wandering, I fell off a fifth mountain in Breath of the Wild because I hit a dead end on the wall that it took me 7 minutes to climb because I ran out of stamina in my attempts to reach shrines. Then it started raining.
"I'm out"
"I'm out"
I'll come back to it eventually. But that stamina shit is just not fun.

After struggling for like a month with Boletaria level 1-2 in Demon's Souls, running through the bridge avoiding the Dragon's flame, finding the route below the bridge and fighting those dogs that ambush you, and finally surviving the last 2 knights at the end, I finally pass the fog door to find this...
I said "No", stood up, went to my PS3 and turned it off. It took me years to give the game another try
Probably the best boss in the entire game. It showcased how insane this game could get. It was an overwhelming moment, that I think robbed all the other bosses of their glory.

Playing the Absolver beta, leveling up and being asked to allocate stat points as if it was some sort of souls game.
I was expecting the move learning to be the sole progression mechanic, with everything else being deck customization and move familiarity. Noped out immediately, I fucking hate WRPG micro-buff progression.

Most recently Tree of Saviour. Doing quests that mostly resolved around slapping low level enemies around. After reaching level 17 I got bored of it, realised I mostly continued playing for the sake of grinding and got the hell out before I had another MMO addiction on my hand.
Others include trying to unlock stuff with F-Zero GX's story mode when I could hardly beat the easiest difficulties and GTA:SA's longass final mission without savepoints.

After the first Persona 5 dungeon, when the group meets up in the restaurant.
"Yay, we fixed everything! What now? Let's just go fix other people because why not! They might die but whatever! Lulz"
After the amazing Persona 3 & 4, this was so hamfisted. How about some character motivation? I got up, ejected the game and sold it the very same day.

Dark souls games. Very slow Game play
I think you are mixing up a silly mini game and Blitzball.

Just an FYI if you ever decide to return to it - you can practice the Mastery trials in any Relay, and as much as you want before taking the real test.
I had one of these "fuck it I'm out" moments with Warframe too. When they added some quest - I forget which one - that involved scanning plants. You had to load up a mission on Earth, and scan a bunch of these rare plants that may or may not even spawn, with some spawning in during the day cycle, and some at night. Pure RNG, but worst of all, in a game about action and combat, it was boring, tedious nonsense. So I said fuck it, and ditched that quest.
Eventually got all the scans much later, but I never purposefully sought them out.

Me after playing my last match ever of CoD online.
I figured, if I wasn't having fun, why keep playing?

Yeah, I didn't nope out on that one, it just never really grabbed me. Dialogue was exhausting and made it hard to really get lost in the moment-to-moment play.
The war rig section early in Gears of War 2. I wanna say it's the second leve. It's a section where we're on top of a big vehicle shooting at another one IIRC, and some airborn enemies.
I got killed by a trial and error moment and I said fuck it, I'm out. Returned it, never touched the entire series again. And I liked the first Gears of War.

Wind Walker back in the GameCube days. Right at the end where I had to fetch maps to find Tri-Force pieces scattered all about, I was done.
Thankfully Wii U fixed everything.

After some reflection...
Most Online shooter games with 30+ people in a match.
My aim is shit and I kill 1 or 2 people after every 11 deaths. I guess I only really play to spend time with my best friend, but I don't enjoy the game.
Overwatch is different though. Thats pretty fun and I'm alright at it.
Persona 5 had a weird difficulty curve as well. I was in the Casino Dungeon and MC just kept getting one shotted. It felt cheap and there wasn't too much I felt I could do.

I was enjoying that Digimon World game, got pretty far, but my mons died and the new ones weren't growing well. I decided I'd gotten enough out of it and haven't touched it since.
