If a game is too tough i usually sell it, or complete the gruelling thing for some self satisfaction, but there is only one game that i never completed that i intended to keep until the end, Prince of Persia: The two thrones, damn the 3 stage semi final boos battle! I got to the perfect point to give him the speed kill drop and got decked by an unavoidable piece of palace rubble, and i was empty on sand tanks!
I would give it another try but its not backward compatible

Chrono Cross...I made it to the Dragon God boss, but I can't beat him(or is it a her). I can fight her, it's just it pulls a Lavos move and has you fight it serveral times and it gains the moves and resistances/weaknesses of the six indivial Dragon Gods and each of them use one of the game's six elements. On top of that you can only have three members(out of 30+)in your party and each character has their own element like everyone and all the enemies in Chrono Cross. To make matters worse is that you can't swap out a party member mid-battle like in Poke'mon or Final Fantasy X when you go up against a form that a certain party memeber(s) are weak against, it also doesn't help that when the Dragon God switches forms, your party falls down a tunnel to the next arena and take damage. I can't even go back to play it since I think the disc is scratched and I can't find it in my room.

Gun on hard difficulty. I've still got a saved game right on the final boss, but he's near impossible to beat. Occasionally I'll have a go at it but he's just too damn powerful.
And for some reason shooting him in the head with a fergusson (a rifle that to anyone else in the game, would result in head explosion) does absolutely nothing.

Final Fantasy IX - I've played it thorugh to disc 2 3 times, then I finally started playing it on emulator, made it to the end of disc 3, and it froze on a cutscene which I can't get past. I don't think I have the heart to play it again.

Ugh, don't get me started on Burnout 3. I got gold on every event, did every extra challenge, got every car except for the Euro Racer which was tantalisingly beautiful. The only thing I couldn't manage was getting two trailer takedowns in a race. Damn you Burnout! Damn you!

That and saving 97 out of 99 mudokons on Abe's Oddysee.

Assasin's creed. Not because i couldn't but because i didn't want to ruin the game for myself even more. You know the last bit where the whole sneaky assasin routinue is kicked out the window shortly after being pissed on and then set on fire? yer, that bit is where i stopped playing.

Sniper Elite and both Deus Ex games. I've watched the endings on youtube, and I just can't be bothered...

Rainbow 6: Vegas: as you reach the end of the final level on the hardest difficulty, it becomes unreasonably hard to the point of being comic. I just gave up.

DOOM 3: The final boss fight is a crock.

Fallout2 -- I did enjoy it alot, but I could not cope with it crashing repeatedly
Planescape Torment -- Ive played this through twice now, got to the same bit which is apparently close to the end and just give up cos it gets too hard.
Thief 3 -- big disappointment, I just lost interest
Warcraft3 -- get to some mission where you have to harvest a load of wood... boring
Okami -- good but long
Final Fantasy 8, 10 -- someone said they get as far as the bosses the give up... yeah its that thing. Why have people get all the way to the end boss only to find that they have to roam around for further hours just outside the boss room because they find out they are too weak? 9 was so unmemorable I cant remember whether I bothered or not

Currently deciding whether I should bother completing Mass Effect or not, cos I have gotten bored of the samey combat.

Turok. I finished it since then, but the last boss fight was rather cheap, so I got turned off of it.

I said I finished it, but I did use the rocket launcher, shot 10 rockets, and the damned behemoth STILL didn't go down.

Final Fantasy VIII! Never actually finished it by myself with my own characters because my bloody copy broke on the last disc! I was so incredibly wounded because it was probably one of if not the best game from my childhood.

I put off Finishing Witcher until the enhanced edition comes out.

Then I said "fuck it I'm not gonna replay stalker again" and look at the other 2 endings on youtube.

Also, I'll never finish that Supcom campaign - well, all 3 of them anyway.

Okami. I've never played a Legend of Zelda game (yeah, I admit it) so I just didn't expect how long the game would be. I thought it would be over once you defeated that multi-headed demon (or rather, when the wannabe samurai defeated it), but it wasn't. I continued on for quite a bit longer, though, but then I got to a part where I had to go in a Wind-Waker-esque boat to search for something or other. I couldn't find it and had to return the game to the rental store, and I haven't gotten back to it because there's no room for my PS2 in my dorm.

This is another I can add to my list as well. I got to the part where you had to do the digging minigame for the bamboo cutter's daughter. I just could not for the life of me get the water jet (when you draw a straight line up out of a spring) to work. And then my memory card got fried and I lost the save, along with the Dragon Quest VIII one I mentioned in my previous post.

Deus Ex 2.

The game would have been good if they tried harder with the writing. Now, it feels like nothing more then an imitator. The charecters are mostly pushovers and annoying rather then someone you would rather listen. The game was also full of idiotic design choices, like universal ammo. Universal ammo means that it doesn't matter if you have a pistol or machine gun, it will use the same ammo. While it may sound great, it meant that you will almost always be running out of ammo.

FINAL. FANTASY. 12. So, just... I don't know. I just have no desire to play it anymore. I just can't relate with the "I r teh Sky pirate, Grrrr!" protagonist. He just is utterly uncompelling, and in some ways, he SCREAMS "put this game down and go look at some porn before people question your sexuality!" He is an annoying, whiny, incessantly needy little brat. I did everything I could to make him more manly, and even at level 20, which is WAY higher than he should be for the area where I am in the game, he just, I don't know, he just really doesn't entertain me. I just find myself wanting to skip the cut scenes because the only people worth following, Fran and Balthier, are just kind of side quests, and not integral to the central story...

Final Fantasy 10. My ex-wife stole my game. I am pissed. I actually have enough time to finish it now, and an interest to, but I can't because I don't have it. Errrrr! (Cry of rage, not wavering pause.)

I'm a big fan of the RPG genre but have only had the need to finish 2 games: Grandia 2 & Shadow Hearts 2 (both multiple times I might add).

I loved Xenogears but got stuck on a boss who had no skin and piloted a city-sized robot that was invincible for the first part of the fight; when he ceased being invincible I was always close to dead.

Grandia 1: second disc wouldn't work and I had no will to find a replacement.

Final Fantasies 5-12: I would always get to around 80-90% through them and lose interest. Perhaps this was due to the fact that once you reach this point you are often given a vehicle of some description and are allowed to go anywhere with the intention that you go looking for the optional activities.

LOTR 3rd Age: not exactly sure why I bought this but I got to the last boss and completely lost all interest.

PSO I&II (it's actually only one game): grindfest.

GW Nightfall & EOTN: completed Prophesies and Factions then got just over halfway through Nightfall and became incredibly bored. Bought EOTN hoping it might rekindle my interest in GW; I was wrong.

Of all the Final Fantasies, 12 is the one I least like (and that includes X-2!). The only way I could play it was to use the Dustia trick to get Vaan to level 30 before I got the rest of the characters; thus eliminating any grinding. Even then the story goes to pot after you defeat Judge Bergan. I did eventually manage to force myself, boredom being a powerful incentive, to reach the point where the Bahumut appears. I finally gave up on it.

I bought MGS2 for PC even though the controls for MGS1 on the PC port were pathetic, I played it up until the bit where you fight all those Metal Gear Ray's, I didn't even bother trying after the 4-5th time and haven't played it since(probably the worse game in the series). Can't remember if I ever finished Black either(had to replay the bridge level quite a few times).

Half-Life 2. My computer's graphics are crap so it's hard enough to play with the horrifically low framerate and load times. And then my older brother suddenly decides it's time to rebuild it because it's slow.

I can't do the first Zone of Wipeout Fusion; I really rely on that pit lane.

And Black: I gave one try at the asylum level on hard, and decided that blowing stuff up on normal with infinite ammo is probably more fun.
