what is the last game you gave up on? and why?
me? bloodeborne, orphan of kos
DaS3 bow only run, deacons
The Witcher 3
got an hour in before the combat became too unbearable
morrowind, its boring as fuck
>>337830929
Also this. Except I was something like 70% through the game. I just stopped caring, it wasn't interesting at all.
>>337831328
It's about as boring as Batman's combat. Sure it looks nice but there's really not a lot going on.
>>337830329
Havent dropped a game in 2 years
Xenogears
It was so ungodly boring that I couldn't take it.
>>337830929
Same
>>337830329
im glad i didnt give up on orphan of kos cause beating him felt like busting a nut
>>337831429
At least Batman got it right,Witcher 3 tried to incorporate a target lock on making it just awkward
>>337830329
bloodborne
dont want to shell out couple hundred dollars to play one game
>>337831587
>frogposter
>Tales of the Abyss 3ds
>too much character chatter for boring characters I couldn't give two shits about
My first foray with Tales and I'll probably never try another one
The Evil Within
I'm probably 3/4 through the game right now but haven't finished it because of work. Kinda lost interest in finishing it.
>>337831771
>iPhone poster
Gran Turismo 4 license tests
Mortal man cannot achieve gold on most of those guide runs
Stellaris
The late-mid to endgame is even worse than Civ. Maybe the DLC will improve it.
>>337831831
I'll add too that this was like 3 years ago; it's rare that I outright drop something like that. Returned it and bought Kid Icarus Uprisingfor the second time
Skyward Sword like a year ago. I finished the retardedly long intro and haven't felt any desire to pick it up again.
>>337830329
Bloodeborn
That stupid fucking spider, but my character build was probably shit? I'm gonna give the game another try, I played the fuck out of DSIII the week it came out and beat it, and feel like I should give Bloodborne another shake of the stick.
anno 1404 gold. picked it up on a sale. seems like a sweet game. but whenever I install one of these kinds of games it just reminds me I want to replay sim city 2000.
even sim city 4 makes me want to replay sim city 2000. it's just the best.
>>337830329
You beat Ludwig but can't beat orphan? Wtf? Orphan was pretty easy.
Dark Souls 2. Compared to the first, I was having twice the struggle with none of the fun or sense of accomplishment. It became a chore.
>>337831964
Years and years later, I am still ready to shiv a man to death at a moment's notice if I learn he made the decision to put that fucking 8 min nuremburg ring at the end of the license tests.
>>337830329
A boy and his blob. The platforming is just not as good as other wayforward games. That, and calling for the blob every time you need it to munch a bean is pretty annoying.
DS3
Xcom 2
both, crashes
>>337830329
Dragon Age Original Sins
gave up after 5 hours because EVERY character got so fucking annoying that I couldn't bear it anymoreI shouldn't have played BG2 beforehand
>>337830329
>Final Fantasy Type 0
couldnt get into it at all, played about 4 hours
>The Witcher 3
didnt play the previous 2, didnt like the combat
>The Order 1886
boring as fuck, shitty gun gimmicks, bad all around
>Final fantasy 9
got to Necro, had to go out of town, forgot about it, haven't picked up the game since (its been 6 years)
>Resident Evil 6 PS4 version
just bought it, dropped it in favor of Street Fighter V
>Street Fighter V

played 15 minutes
I hate mobas
>Bastion
played 5 minutes, boring
>>337832548
W-wait, are you talking about DA or divinity or both?
>>337830329
Killzone 2 because this fucking nazi ass motherfucker teleports behind me and instaknifes my ass each time i do damage to him. i died like 30 times and gave up.
All you had to do was to make the fucking difficulty steadily rising instead of going between stupid impossible and stupid dumb, it´s bad AI design. oh yeah and now when i googled to get an image google fucking spoiled that he´s gonna suicide. ffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
>>337830329
Shadowman 64
i didnt understand the map and progression, i just got lost and didnt knew where to go.
Ori and the Blind Forest
got bored as shit with the bland platforming, puzzles, and awful combat
a shame, because it looks gorgeous
![metal_gear_rising_revengeance[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/KldFRPe.jpg "metal_gear_rising_revengeance[1].jpg")
>>337830329
Metal gear rising. Never played hack and slash and i was completely destroyed by the geckos. I may still go back but im pretty sure i wont.
Before that it was probably the newish tomb raider which i just found horribly generic and boring.
>>337830329
Mario Galaxy 2, I got burnt out halfway through the Green Stars
>>337830934
It took me a couple times to pick it up but it's worth it
>>337830329
Return to Castle Wolfeinstein
Played until I encountered pic related. The whole game was kinda boring,thats all.
>>337830329
I always give up on getting all Covenant rewards on my first character in any Souls game. Not like I don't give it a good try but a mixture of lazyness and hatred for grinding eventually wells up in me. And it helps that DS3 has the worst covenant rewards to date.

>>337830329
This one.
I was intrigued by the story, i got to Benny and i only found out he was just a random dude with persuasion skills, i guess, based on the way he was talking
The RPG elements felt great sure, but it just doesn't mean much when the combat and the animations felt so clunky. I knew that every quest would involve some combat and i was just not looking forward to it
I figuered since it seemed to be the style of FO1 and 2 that i would have to solve everyone's problems to get their best endings and i just coudn't bother, if everything is going to be built around this combat system then i just can't bother. Fucking Counter-Strike 1.6 handles firefights better than this game does, and i blame the shitty FO3 engine for this, also, using speech to avoid fights wasn't anything satisfactory either because then it meant i would spend more time walking around between NPC A and B.
I can see why people like this game, i like a lot of the NPCs and the writing was good but is the gameplay part i have a problem with
>>337830329
MGSV.
I mean: i beat it. I got 100% complete. And then tossed it in the trash.
>>337830329
Capsized, level design just got stale as the only thing that changed was that the next level was bigger, and had more enemies, a lot actually, to hamper the player progress and make the illusion of difficulty. It had so much potential...
>>337830569
>DaS3 bow only run
Why not npc summon? I always thought of that as an out for situations that are untenable. You aren't summoning another player. And DS3 is by no means worth the grief.

LoH: Trails of Cold Steel
Too slow and boring and full of cliché.
>>337833085
It's a Character Action game like DMC1/3/4 and Bayo. Hack n Slash would be God of War, Darksiders 1, DmC etc

Max Payne 3. I thought I got used to cutscenes hitscan weapons, and cringy writting, but then hit long as fuck "interactive" cutscene, and I just had enough.
>>337833269
Are you mad? Those are all "character action"
Hack n slash always was and always will be things like Diablo, Grim Dawn, etc.
>>337834398
I don't remember where I was hitting him, but the heart seems like the obvious choice. Is it like the Ancient Wyvern gimmick in DaS3?
Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor's Edge, Ryu clone. Has insane combo that takes 60% HP, is unescapable and is started with a fucking light attack. Also ridiculous amount of health
or
Dark Souls 2, Lud & Zallen. On NG+4, two extremely aggressive, high-damage dealing kitties at the same time. Not doable
>>337830329
PoE, kill-everyone-in-one-breath-attack-by-pure-RNG dragon that sounds like Moro from Mononoke.
Third time I leveled to max and literally consulted every single asshole on the internet who claims they beat the thing, but it turned out all their guides were outdated since the latest update which made the bitch immune to every status effect that makes killing her without aforementioned dying in one hit even possible. What people do to beat it now? I assume play it 100+ times until you get good RNG on damage/attacks that gets you through the first wave long enough to buff. And each and every time having to deal with the powerful mooks that automatically aggro the dragon (making every attempt take like 10 minutes at least).
But that's what makes a game hard right? Needing to repeat an optimized strategy 100 times waiting for favorable RNG? Because it's balanced! Balance is important in a single player RPG with absolutely no multiplayer elements whatsoever!
(Rest of the game is breddy gud though. Just not the dragon fights.)

Everything getting a massive buff in lothric castle for no reason sapped my will to play. Turns the whole thing into a slog.
>>337834517
Character Action
-High Skill ceiling
-technical
-emphasis on defensive techniques that require timed inputs like parries/perfect blocks and perfect dodges
-CUHRAYZEE fast
Hack n Slash
Low skill celiling; mashing viable on most difficulty settings (sans puzzle enemies/bosses)
Hold button to block, usually not punished for doing so
Slower paced, individual button presses have long animations and auto-combo
>>337830329
I know I'll get flamed for this butFallout New Vegas, I really did try to get into it but I just find it all so boring, the wasteland is boring, the cities are boring, the NPCs are boring, the combat is boring, it's just not worth it for me.
>>337832172
This.
Even though I was mashing buttons to skip through everything I could, it took me I think at least a half hour to get to the point where it stopped resembling a david cage game and started being Zelda (when you go to the surface for the first time, basically). But that still doesn't count because every five feet you're interrupted by another cutscene or dialogue that tells you exactly what you have to do. The entire game is just following instructions like a preschooler.
>>337834916
oh and most character action titles penalize you in some way for using consumable items

I remember spending like 20 mins on this boss, holy shit it was fun, tense and satisfying. Also,
>quitting at the last boss
>>337832182
Rom seemed one of the easier bosses, it just took patience and some spiderling kiting.
>>337832303
Ludwig was somewhat hard, but once you got through 1/2 of his HP, it got easy. Orphan was definitely the hardest boss, took me 2 hours to beat him.
>>337830329
Had a problem with orphan too. After several unsuccesful tries I just decided to learn to parry him. All his attacks are parriable in all phases, but some of them require such a good timing its nearly impossible. You need to find out which you can parry easily and fish for those.
>>337834572
No clue since I don't play Souls.
DD's dragonkin all have a weak point and ridiculous resistance everywhere else, you can stagger on the head and wings but the glowing mark is where you get your damage. For Grigori and Drakes, it's the heart. You'll get a different sound if you're hitting properly and an animation of them recoiling and clutching it
League of legends.
The game has devolved into a pseudosport fueled by manchildren since season 3 where creativity and fun are off the ecuation and the only thing that matters is how high are you on a ladder that you climb by a 50% of luck regarding the kind of team that you have to deal with.

It really depends on your build. STR/ARC tonitrus is probably the easiest build overall for single player. LHB Quality is a close second, as you can easily get your weapon after BSB. Skill builds struggle a bit and bloodtinge is probably the hardest - Fuck early game Logarius.
the last game I genuinely just gave up was halo 5 because the campaign was absolute horse shit
The multiplayer was good though.
Orphan of Kos was pretty difficulty, but only because of that fucking ridiculous health bar, for whatever reason I couldn't parry his second phase either, it felt impossible to do
Once you learn that you can just dodge twice backwards to never get hit by the purple grapes though, the fight becomes a lot easier
DMC2, just fucking awful and Lucia handles horrendously. I forced myself through Dante's story and hated every second of it. I'm positive it's still better than Tameem's fan fiction, which I intend to play but not pay for.

PLS BUY OVERWATCH
>>337840778
Bloodborne bosses really were spot on. The second phase for most of them (excluding Rom and celestial emissary) just really cranked it up, like it should. Orphan's second phase really gets my blood pumping.
