StaceyPowers Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Have you ever put dozens of hours into a game only to quit it? What made you quit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Sure, there has been a few games where I gave up close to the middle, and sometimes even near the end. One game that comes to mind is the sims 3. I played it for hours and then just stopped. I always told myself I'd come back to it, but never did. Currently I'm having that with Cyberpunk 2077, as I haven't played it in a couple weeks now and still have a ways to go. Red Faction Guerilla was another game I played nearly until completion and then I stopped. That I have an excuse for, as I rented it one time and never ended up getting the game again to beat it. But yeah, I've invested in a lot of games and I end up quitting some of them. Shadow of the Colossus is another game I nearly completed but dropped it one day and never revisited it. Well I did about 5 years or so ago, but ended up dropping it again lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 All the time. I think time it takes to finish certain games or even spending hours on them is kind of addictive and sometimes taking break out of it is worth it. Then come back again refreshed play and finish it.

Patrik Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I personally not, especially online games, they just get addicted at some point, i tried doing that before, but whenever i watch a gameplay, i feel like i want to play that game again and i fall in that loop again xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m76 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 If I can stick with a game for a few hours that usually means I can get to the end. The exception was GTA V on the PS3. I had to quit, the controls were so frustrating for me on it, so I waited 2 years for the PC version and finished the game on PC, which I should've done in the first place and not waste my time on the console version. Thief Deadly Shadows. I don't even remember why I quit playing this game, this was in 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 There are a few games I can think of - Fifa, Madden, and Fortnite. In addition to that, I'd add Cyberpunk 2077 because I had put in a lot of hours into the game up until the hack. I'm certainly not going anywhere near it until everything's good.

Syntax Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Yes, RuneScape/WoW since I lost interest in it. That or when I would play the idea of grinding was annoying (or I had done mostly all of the grinding so the end game content was meh). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I do it all the time simply from boredom with it. I always play FF8 up to the end of disc 3, and that's when the boredom of the game sets in. The only thing left is Ultimecia's castle, which is ungodly boring. All the towns are blocked off as you are outside of time, which leaves you very little to do. Several side quests are no longer available as they involve going into one or more towns. By the time I reach the end of disc 3, my characters are virtually invincible. I junction spells to their attributes, equip things such as Ribbons, and nothing can touch them. Elemental attacks actually heal me, and all status attacks are blocked by the Ribbons. Hit points are maxed out at 9999 for everyone. Unless I decide to go for 100 of every item (which I have done in the past) I don't have a lot to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Far Cry 4. Was playing in co-op with a friend and we found out we were gated by single player, we couldn't go to new areas unless both of us (separately) completed more SP missions. Couldn't be done in co-op. Killed the game for me. Also, Star Wars Commander, It was an ok mobile game, just kinda mindless which I enjoyed. However got to a point where I couldn't do ANYTHING unless I participated in PvP, which I didn't care for at all. So I dropped that game. Honourable mention to Space Engineers, the MP netcode in that game can be so terrible it makes the game basically unplayable if you're not the host. That game is still in Early Access (STILL. FOR YEARS) so I'll eventually go back to it I'm sure, whenever the netcode is not frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Cyberpunk 2077 and Far Cry 4 are two games which I invested a lot of time in but ended up quitting them both in the end. I had an urge to get back to Far Cry 4 but still couldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
