Hmm not that many but in recent memory, Destiny 2. Tried twice to get into the opening campaign but never progressed. I have a feeling I will also give up on No Man's Sky.

Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot

Terraria - Fell into a hole and couldn’t get out gave up after 5 to 10 minutes
Red dead redemption two - played for about half an hour got to the point where you were supposed to pick your weapon up off your saddle but whatever I pressed he wasn’t willing to do so so I gave up and never went back.
Mad Max - Took me about 20 minutes to realise I didn’t like the world. So I left and deleted it.

Wow what an amazing subject! I've bounced off so many games so regularly that it's hard to know where to start. So I will start with yesterday.

Megaman 11 - too hard
Apex Legends - too samey
Every game on Nes Mini - awful


Some of my top bounce offs ever

Mass Effect Andromeda - The story of Noahs ark has more credibility than Bioware after this turd nugget.

NBA live 15 - I would rather have unprotected sex with Madonna than play this again.

The last Guardian - Art imitates life is what they say. This isn't art. It's maggot infested roadkill.

Assassins Creed Unity - About as glitch free as running a Timeshare in Cambodia under the Khamer Rouge with plots sold by Northern Rock with Glazwegian tenants after the old firm game.

Did you find that out before or after you made your post about looking for people to help you?

@themcnoisy That's a pretty strong opinion on The Last Guardian.

It has its problems for sure but I thought it was excellent overall with Trico being one of the most wonderfully created NPCs/companions of all time.

Each to their own..

I didn't enjoy The Last Guardian either, gave up on it probably half way through.
Trico was insanely cool, but the controls were clunky and and Tricos AI was really really annoying at times.

Tower of Guns. One of the worst Plus games ever. It shouldn’t have been allowed on the Plus Store it’s such a lazy boring game.
@themcnoisy
Same on Apex Legends lol.
And you played Unity after it was patched and not that buggy though? I recall it just not quite being your thing.

Probably a toss up between Bloodborne and Kingdom Hearts 3.

Okay, so going against the normal view, I really think Bloodborne should have a difficulty level adjuster and better spawn/save points. I tried quite a few times to get through those villagers but I ended up just getting killed not even getting to the end of the first area. I would search for shortcuts and find some hideous creature that kills me straightaway. Then I have to go through and do the whole thing again, from scratch. I don't have time for this, I would like to enjoy the story, I would like to explore this wonderful world but i'm not allowed to because I haven't got time for the patience required to get anywhere.

Kingdom Hearts 3, stopped after Toy Story level. Battles were not fun, just messy, bright colours and the spaceship thing in between worlds is horrendous. After Toy Story, I was back in space, I turned off and it hasn't gone back on since.

Can't think of anything good to put here just yet, watch this space...

@Tasuki Posts. The poll was a way to gauge how much interest we had in the game.

@Tasuki around the same time. I understand the allure but it's the same every match up. If you compare Apex legends to FF6 as an example, Apex is soulless and cobbled together from some hodgepodge rulesets. Wherever you finish you don't really care unless you end up at the end game or snag a lucky piece of loot. In FF6 you care what you are doing all of the time.

@Jaz007 I either love (ff15, MGS V, Watchdogs, gta V) or hate (rdr2, W3, ac unity) openworld games Unity was glitchy. Extremely glitchy. It ruined any enjoyment I was having.

@Kidfried @Thrillho It was the bog standard nature of what was happening outside of Trico. The average platforming, the average puzzles etc. Trico was / is pretty amazing. Similar in many ways to Matt Le Tissier playing for Southampton.

Since my last post... hmmm. Of late, Red Dead 2 has been put back down. I just feel overwhelmed by the size of it. Ooer.

Rick and Morty Virtual Rickality lasted half an hour before I took the disc out and traded it in. May have been my VR setup but fifteen minutes trying to not drop something which made you start again was enough for me.

Oddly, I also haven't returned to Hollow Knight since I started it. I think the game is excellent but I kept starting and stopping it which meant I keep finding it harder and hard to go back to and I am already like 7 hours in.

Terraria & Dragon Quest Builders I played for about 30mins & 2 hours each. Dropped them after 1 session.

More recently though Divinity Original Sin 2 & Yo-Kai Watch (DS)- both of which I dropped after 4 hours or so.
Divinity was great, but just too cumbersome for me. Maybe it’s cause I was playing on console. I reckon I would’ve enjoyed it more on PC.
Yo-Kai watch was just too silly for me. The touch controls didn’t help either.

I gave up on Snipperclips on Switch at the main menu of the demo when it told me I couldn't play with the Pro Controller.

Mega Man 11. Got to the first mini boss fight and I gave up after several times of being lumped back to the start of the level.

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter

Yeah fine I don't need a game to hold my hand. But I do kind of need it to explain it's basic mechanics if they're new, instead of letting me walk miles in the wrong direction.

@JohnnyShoulder I got to the Main boss of the top left level on megaman 11. There is a Gauntlet section after the first mini boss I ran it 11 times before finishing it. You get a little bit better each attempt - but who's got time for that? It was the first level.

The level design is unfair, the jumping is slightly wonky (you edge right on scrolling sections), the spaces you have to move in boss fights is pixel perfect, the enemy design is rubbish. Its brutal.

Titan Souls. I was doing some deleting the other day. It was sitting there in my backlog so I gave it a go. I did a couple of bosses and then deleted it. Harsh, but I need the space. I can re-download it if I fancy it though.

Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
