Games you wanted to like but couldn't?

Has there ever been a game that even though you thought you would enjoy it and really wanted to you just couldn't?

Dropped $30 on the InFAMOUS collection a month ago and I've barely played it for 2 hours. It just grew so old so quickly.

elder scroll series, it's just bad and by bad I mean the fighting system is so bland, oblivion and skyrim sucked imo, I love melee fights and they failed miserably in that aspect. get it together Bethesda, this is not 1990.

Fable 3. Love it at first but when I decided to think deeper with it I soon found no reason to like it.

Fallout New Vegas. I wanted to SOOO bad. I heard such good things about the Fallout series and I loved the music but....it was a 75% finished game. Too many bugs and glitches for me.

Skyrim. After Oblivion I couldn't wait for the next game. Sure Oblivion had issues but it was in-depth with lore and had so much to do and it touched of my favorite medieval genre in a way I would keep playing even after I finished it. Skyrim fixed some issues but lost that replay value for me and used dragons and the whole Norse myths way too much for me to enjoy. When I was done with everything I really was done.

Skyrim.

When I first got it, I thought it was really cool.

Once I had entered a dungeon, and came out after killing my 50th Draugr Overlord, I was like "This game is good...right?"

Eventually I got sick of the monotonous gameplay and never played it again.

Dragon Age

I almost fell asleep at the snoozefest Dragon Age called "combat"

this is me, i want to oh so very much but it just ends up pissing me off

Magic is pretty awful in Skyrim for sure. I still have to beat that too

Skyrim.. Just come on Bethesda give us a game not a pile of _.... I pure ordered the game and was hyped but after beating the story i was just done. No "i wanna so the factions" draw or anything

Fallout 3 got dull quickly for me. I still played quite a bit of it but it wore out and I never played it again.

The same kind of goes with Dragon Age, except I can pick it up and play it every once and a while, I just get bored after playing it for too long. I really wish I didn't.

Also, I know I'm going to draw some hate for this, but Demon's Souls has the same problem as Dragon Age for me. I can play it for a while but I can never get as into it as I did with Dark Souls. I forced myself through hours of playing but I just couldn't get into it like I have with Dark Souls.

I can't play Skyrim anymore either. Ever since I hit platinum I haven't really been able to pick it back up again. I just look at it and think about playing it only to have my interest picked up by something else seconds later.

Playing a TES game for the combat is like playing Dark Souls for the roleplaying.

The Elder Scrolls, sub-par graphics, sub-par gameplay, sub-par storyline(skyrim), sub-par UI, and glitches, glitches, glitches
These pretty much ruin the immersion for me

Also, Assassin's Creed 3, "more resilient enemies" kick into water, or shoot, or jump attack for insta kill

Batman Arkham Asylum, i mean it was alright but i just did not see why it deserved all the hype.

Deadspace

Fallout New Vegas

Dishonoured

Condemned 2

Kingdoms of Amalur

I've completeed the most of them only 2% and then got bored.. whats a waste of money!

Origins was a good game. 2 was horrible - I despised what they had done to the game.
