Wasteland 2 on Xbox One. I picked it up again after a long break..and it looks awful. The UI and overall structure is all over the place. It might be better on PC.

Majora's Mask 3D.
This is the third time I've tried to play through MM (twice on n64) and I just can't get into it. The dungeons are pretty average and I don't dig constantly doing busy work while in a constant rush. The vibe, story, music, visuals are all great, but the gameplay loop just annoys the piss out of me.

Nioh.
On release I was not convince at all (I had play the demo) and didn't buy it.
I am huge fan of the Souls and even if after playing the demo I knew it was not a "Souls like" like many describe it.
Still last year I gave it a try... Forced myself to go around half of the game I would say...
Nothing interesting for me. The story/lore is bland, I dislike the system of "missions" (Do a mission, go to the map, select the next location, Do the mission,...), the gameplay is meh and really not a huge fan of the loot system.
I don't even speak about the "twilight" missions and other variants that make you replaying the same level over and over again.
In short, it's looks for me like an borderline average beat'em all.
In plus, it's one of the rare game I bought digital so I can't even resale it...

I will definitely get back to Vampyr (basically, will start over), because I really liked it, but three or four hours into the game I had to make a certain choice in the dialogue - I thought I made the right choice and it turned out to be a bummer one with bad consequences. Felt that the game didn't give me enough info about it and I just didn't feel like continuing.

I feel alot better about giving up on Nioh now, thanks guys. Basically I just wasnt having fun with it. I've completed all the Soulsborne games but I tried against that bat lady boss for about 5 hours and finally beat her but it didn't feel satisfying like other games do... just emotionally traumatic lol. Shortly after than got put in a repeat mission on a previous level and thought fuck it, lifes too short. No where near as good as From Softwares games IMO.
Red Dead 2. It just didn't click for me. Too long and drawn out. I just wasnt having fun on a moment to moment basis. Played Odyssey shortly after and it felt night and day better.

Did you play as Alexios or Kassandra? I'm only asking, because Kassandra is way more interesting as a character.

She's not. She still gets the same missions, same limited responses/decisions & same "exterminate Spartans & Athenians for personal profit" story arc. Narratively it's not great either way.
Roberts

Oh, sure. I was talking more about her as a character. It was refreshing to play with her because instead of being brooding and angry, she comes off as fun person with a sense of humor and other more charming personality traits. You get attached to her, it gives you motivation to play further and thus everything else becomes more interesting.

That fractured butt whole game. I was enjoying the game and hit a fight that I have tried 50x, read strategies, watched videos but can't seem to do with the class I chose so fuck it.

These past few years I've been really picky about what I play. Less time, more options -> no time for BS.
1. Dark Souls, I hate redoing sections and this game kinda demands that
2. Monster Hunter World, way too much fluff and combat feels kinda janky
3. Hellblade: Senua something, too much walking and stuff
4. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, still feels like a Chinese version of God of War, I'd rather just play the real thing or some other badass HnS like DMC or Bayonetta
5. Hyrule Warriors, it was fun for like 5 minutes, repetitive crap
6: Alien Isolation, seems like a good game, but I'm way too much of a pussy to play first person horror games
7. One of those 2D Assassin's Creeds, just boring
8. Red Dead Redemption 2, a more clunky version of a game I somewhat liked
9. Crypt of the Necrodancer, liked the idea, but it's just way too hard for me
10. Dead Cells, loved the game until I died... these roguelike games need to die, who the heck wants to redo stuff over and over again
11. Hollow Knight, something just felt wrong with this one
That's all I can think of at the moment.

I'm on the verge of giving up on Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. I've been playing on Switch and the glitches and performance issues have been on my nerves the entire time, but I've hit a wall on a boss battle pretty deep into the game. I've hit a few boss battle walls but managed to suck it up and overcome (or in more than one case, a boss glitched out to my benefit) but I'm just tired of it at this point. It's a shame because Symphony of the Night is one of my all-time favorite games and I loved the GBA and DS Castlevanias, but I don't know if I have it in me to just persevere through it, especially when I wanna play Link's Awakening in a few days.

Re2 because im a clown that gets scared too easily
Also gave up on bloodborne way back, couldnt beat the nightmare guy, dude with a cage around his head. micolash? forget his name.
Gave up on metro exodus and the metro franchise in general, find it pretty mediocre.
Hellblade was pretty meh
Middle earth: Shadow of war: really liked it but got to the epilogue and decided it wasnt worth it. Watched the final cutscene on youtube.
Also never have I been more bored by a game than AC Oddysey, fuck me that was a terrible game.

Gutted to add this to the list but Sekiro...
I have completed and love all the Dark Souls/Bloodborne games but I just wasnt having any fun with Sekiro despite giving it a few hours;
- The graphics seem blurry.
- The world is no where near as memorable or unique as past games.
- It appears far too difficult to be fun.
I gave up in the first memory sequence going along the estate path with enemies with shields and pikes. A narrow line of about 15 enemies with more to go and dieing each time.

Recently:
Yakuza 0 : The world is very fun to be in, but the fights are mindnumbingly shallow, it got old really fast. And the game uses those way too much.
W40K Mechanicus : It has a pretty good gameplay, but ultimately it's not the game I wished it was. It's a "it's me it's not you" situation, my search for the tactics game that fits my needs still goes on. I want to get into the tactical action faster and worry less about long term strategy and consequences.
Ion Fury : It's excellent for ~6 hours, but toward the end there's been a dip in level design quality and I can't muster the want to go on. I feel satisfied with what I played and don't feel the need to force myself further.
Zone of the Enders 2 remaster : Eh... after 2 hours of play I'm good. Fights are very repetitive and lack interesting tactics or strategies, and there's nothing else to it. It's very pretty but that's about it. I still like the idea of the series, but it needed another sequel to really get good.

Sekiro, need to get back to it at some point though. Got quite far, past genichiro and mount senpou and to the monkey fight but just gave up and never returned due to other games taking over.

I will say Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
But I will finish this game at some point (when Ubi is actually done working on it and stop moving the goalposts around, that is). I’m too far deep down that road already just to give it up
But even when I complete it, I’ll still have the bitter taste of one of the most padded open world game I have ever played in my mouth - the endless fetch quests are even more bland than some of FFXV’s ones (and yet it started so well)

The Division 2. I finally got around to trying it on the free Uplay+ trial, but after a few hours and hitting level 10 - I couldn't take anymore and quit/uninstalled the game.
I don't even understand why I found it so boring and tedious as I quite enjoyed the first one, but something just seemed off this time around. :/

It’s not a solution for your boss woes but we are supposed to get some significant graphics and performance improvements by the end of November. You could try again then.

I give up on games all of the time.
Last one was Super Mario World.
Never played it before. Got about five worlds in but could no longer progress after completing a stage. Looked up a guide online and apparently I need to go back to earlier stages that I've already beaten and find some kind of secret exit.
Sounded long to me and the game wasn't actually that fun in the first place so dropped it there and then.

Persona Q2.
I loved the first one, despite the non-existent everything else, due to the awesome EO-esque gameplay, character crafting, and party building.
Dunno what it was about Q2 that just didn't do it for me. Maybe it was the fact that it took forever to finally get the whole cast. Maybe it was the way the skills were changed up. Maybe it was the way you could deck your characters out with new skills overriding their innate ones was just so incredibly dumb, and badly executed, considering Q1 only let you add 4,whilst still maintaining your characters core abilities, and thus their distinctness and individuality. Probably all of these.

Thumper. The difficulty spike begins somewhere around chapter 4. I've made it to chapter 6, but never finished it. Not enough tolerance for errors (it wouldn't have been an issue if it was only for 100% completion purposes). Also from the very beginning it was extremely annoying how the game wasn't explaining new mechanics. I had to rely on a youtube video twice to understand how to perform certain moves.

Red Faction Guerrilla, it's like the devs just didn't want you to have any fun at all. They built this amazing destruction engine and a pretty interesting world and decided to spam countless enemies to force you to always be on the run. I'm not saying it has to be Crackdown - you ARE a guerilla - but come on, do you need to spawn 20 enemies all around me with 10 snipers in the background already? Do you need to have health and ammo crates that don't actually top you off completely? The frustrating thing is about halfway through after you level up and gain abilities you start to get more control, then near the end they just jack up spawns and give all the enemies armor and shields so you're back to square one. I get frustrated just thinking about it.

Borderlands 3. I was so bored. The humor is cringe. I don't care about the story.

I've shelved it until that patch. I couldn't handle the frame rate on switch
The story is actually worse than Diablo 3's.
How is that even possible?
I am currently only playing it to find godlike gear offline, and laugh at all the mooks who gullibly downloaded the patch based on the promise of "improvements".

^ Yall care about Borderlands3 story? Bad guys there, get cool guns is all i need. Admittedly that got me through 10000 plus hours of vanilla Destiny so im easy to please with loot shooters.
Also Hollow Knight. Loved the art, music, combat, general atmosphere.... Didnt love the backtracking and trying to figure out where to go.
A shame since Ori made me love metroidvanias. Guacamelee is going a lot better : I hate feeling lost and it seems to handle general direction better.

The bad guys are lame in borderlands 3. And it's hard to ignore the story when there is so much chatter going on.
In destiny 1 i had no idea what was going on until the taken king. It never bothered me. And the cringe dialogue was fun meme cringe, not cringe cringe. Unlike destiny 2 vanila and borderlands 3.

I dont remember ever giving up on a game. Maybe stopped playing for some reason and forgot to pick it up again, but never intentionally quit.
Someone doest know the Inverted Song of Time.
Unskippable Dialogue + Unskippable Cutscenes.
Combined, they = half the campaign's length.
It is an ugly thing that is impossible to ignore.
That Girl is on Fire.

I don't think a lot of people playing B3 are taking interest in the story, but it doesn't change the fact that Calypso Twins suck big time compared to Jack.
Oh and it also doesn't help that cut-scenes aren't skippable.

Vampyr. Like some sort of dribbling idiot I decided to play on hard despite there being no benefit to do so. It was a struggle but I got to the end. I was level 40-ish and every enemy was under me in level. Boom, last boss is over lvl50 and at the point I'm at it's literally impossible to level up any more so I'm fucked. This game's level system is utter trash and I can't be bothered dealing with it anymore.

I believe the last game I give up on playing was Resident Evil 4... the cabin was too boring for RE game to the point to make me fell asleep every time I tried to play it.
After that I stopped to get things in Flash/Promotion sales.
So now I buy only what I know I will play.

Blazing Chrome. Great Contra style game in concept but shooting down/diagonal and switching directions stops your character in their tracks putting them in a prone shooting position, or makes them let go of handholds. Given about half the game is enemies below you this made it unplayable for me so I dropped it. It's too bad, because Contra style shooters are usually so much fun to play despite being just about impossible to finish.
