Games you wanna love, but just can't.

I don't really own any games that I can't love. Wings of Prey is the most recent one I spent money on that I haven't played for more than a couple of hours, but that was mostly because I got stuck on some mission and the controls were too shitty without a proper flight stick. I thought that game would be more arcady but it turned out to be really simmy, which isn't really my cup of tea. I was hoping for something in the vein of old sci-fi flying shooters like Terminal Velocity or Descent, but that genre seems dead for good, sadly. 

alot including Chrono trigger and dead rising

Everybody just seems to denounce Street Fighter as the king of all fighting games and I want to love them too, but I just can't get into them.

" The Fallout games, I just tried to play the first one and couldn't "

Mass Effect 1 was a game I thought for sure I would love and I ended up bored to tears and quitting about 5-8 hours in one some pointless sidequest involving a vehicle. 
 
Valkyria Chronicles was another game that I had convinced myself I would play to death and gave up on a few hours in after finding it too damn difficult.

" Halo franchise.   I always get excited when a new Halo game comes out, but then I end up having a enough of it 20 minutes into it.  Not sure if it's the way the game feels or it's disgusting online community. "

Fallout 1 & 2; the gameplay is so painfully boring and slow that I can't get into it.
 
also zelda metroid etc

Strategy games in general. There's a strategy person inside me somewhere, but the shooter person inside me always gets bored 20 minutes in.
 
Also Bioshock. Great concept, but I never felt like the actual game was fun. Poor shooting.
 
And Castlevania - I want to play the DS ones and SOTN, but the bosses are rough. I'm perpetually about 30 minutes into Ecclesia and sometimes pick it up again before realizing that I'm just not good enough to get any farther, and I frankly don't want to put up with the game's bullshit anymore.

Fallout, Batman Arkham Asylum, Fable to name a few.

Left 4 Dead. I love zombies, FPS games, pretty much everything the game is, but for some reason it just feels wrong.

Dragon Age: Origin. I like the combat and gameplay in general, but the story and look of the game is just dull to me, and it keeps me from getting really into the game.

Killzone 1 - such a drab and limited game with poor controls. I tried to love it, but i end up trading it.  
 
Fatal Frame - altough the atmosphere is phenomenal, and the game is good, the controls, specially concerning the battles, felt annoying and made me more attentive, killing my fear. 
 
Silent Hill V - great graphics, good, although frustrating, controls, and a weak story and background.   
 
God of War - felt too much button mashy, and the story was underwhelming. 
 
Chrono Trigger - simple story, simple progression. various paths to follow, but always the same simplicity. 
 
Odin Sphere - beautiful game, but button mashy and monotonous.  
 
Half Life 2 - cool, very well executed game, but monotonous.  
 
Mass Effect - felt like Bioware's own version of KOTOR. Weak and trailling behind.  
 
GTAs - i love these games, until it starts getting repetitive, and throw me off.  
 
Supreme Commander - I loved Total Anihilation, but, maybe because of the time that passed between now and then, hated the slowness of the game. 
 
Broken Sword: Angel of Death - seemed such a step back compared to The Sleeping Dragon. 

Red Faction Guerrilla, praised by most people, and I like (even love in some cases) open world games, but I just couldnt get into it

After hearing how good ChronoTrigger was for years and years I picked up the reissue on the DS, and just couldn't get into it!  It was so dull!  And I really like old school RPGs.

Halo: Combat Evolved. Just grabbing me, probably cause I actually played PC shooters at the time. 

Bioshock, I played a good bit but I just couldn't be impressed or hooked. Shame as the story and setting really appeal to me!
 
Also, Turok on the x360, but that might be because the game itself is pretty horrible ><.
Also a shame, Turok used to rock.

Fallout 1 & 2. They are absolutely amazing, but I have trouble playing them because of their age. I still love them more than Fallout 3 though.

Anything by Bethesda. It confuses me so much.

Too Human. 
 
Far Cry 2.

Oblivion. 
 
I wanted to love that game so much. It was so cool. the world was incredible, and immersive. But the game play just bored and frustrated me to damn tears. I must have replayed that game about 10 times trying to get into it, only to fail.

Half Life and Dragon Age Origins.

borderlands.
 
A Dull shooter

Dead Rising: awesome concept but excruciating to play... All the worst gameplay mechanics put into one game (escort missions, constantly being timed, and unforgiving save system)

And fuck you Otis!!!!!!!!!

Fallout 3, i stopped after 3-5 hours then never played it again, I wanted to go back on it yet I really couldn't be asked.

The last Alone in the Dark. I really really wanted to like this one and the story had me invested but everything else was so broken that I couldn't continue.

The first thing that comes to mind is Gears of War. I tried to play it on two separate occasions,  but I just couldn't get into it. I'm kind of a snob and only like to aim with a mouse and keyboard. That means that any first or third-person shooter on a console is lame to me. At some point I'll put a bit more effort into it and probably grow to appreciate it, but I haven't yet.

metroid 
i really like all of the games, i just get lost and then when i come back i have NO idea what to do or my save file gets deleted.

" The Fallout games, I just tried to play the first one and couldn't "

Morrowind.  I'm sure the main quest picks up urgency later, but after about ten hours it still felt a MMO with nobody online.

Most of the Legend of Zelda games and GTA games.

SFIV 
Infamous 
Half-Life 2
