Perhaps not the most politically correct phrase to use in this current climate, but casualties of war are inevitable in gaming. That is, there are certain games that -try as you might- fail to inspire you with enough impetus to see them through to completion. I'm not necessarily talking about games you don't like here, but games that you just can't be bothered to finish, games you just give up on.
Project Zero on the PS2 and Golden Sun on the GBA are two relatively recent casualties in my collection.
Golden Sun is a lovely little game, but it only reinforces my dissatisfaction with the staid RPG genre. It's fun, but it's painfully generic, I've played many games like it before and as such can't be bothered.
Project Zero is an interesting take on the 'survival horror' genre and I do like it (for all its faults), but I've found it too frustrating. The game has forced me to restart for a third time now and my patience has run out. I'd like to see it through to the end but I've had enough of not having enough ammo to survive ammo-hungry encounters I never knew were coming. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is most definitely weak. So, it's going back the shop.
So, are there any games you've simply just given up on altogether? If so, why?
Please share.
