Let's Not Play!

Okay, so there are some games which are not bad at all, and many that are actually really good, but I can't seem to get myself to actually play or finish playing them.

Take the Assassin's Creed series. I'm sure these games are amazing... but I just can't bring myself to sit down and play them.

Then you've got games that are awesome, but I can't finish. Twilight Princess is the most obvious failure on my part, as I really enjoy playing the game, but for some reason I lose interest and just can't finish it.

I had a spell with Dokapon Kingdom but I never was able to finish a match.

Also Bioshock. I really liked Bioshock but could never finish it.

What are some games that you really like or think will be good, but just can't finish or bring yourself to play?

I couldn't bring myself to play Assassin's Creed because I suck at games like that. I'm playing the first now because I adore the lead (Altaïr) and... well, the second has Ezio and Ezio is amazing. I'm still bad at it, but not as bad as I was before!

Most tactical games. Mainly because I'm terribad at them. Super Robot Taisen games? NOPE. Final Fantasy Tactics? NOPE. Sad, but true.

Have difficulties with Fable. Unless the character is already packed in stats, I don't feel like going through the efforts despite being a great series.

There's Skyrim and Kain that I don't have the desire to get very far, and most shooters which generally suck at. Sorry Halo, Saints Row, COD, etc. Although Left 4 Dead is getting easier.

I can't seem to force myself to go start playing Mass Effect. I've been meaning to for ages now, I've even got it on Steam. But starting it? Nope.

Also, I've been up to the last (story) boss of Dragon Quest 9 forever, and haven't even tried to kill the bastard yet.

Kiiiinda agreeing with sora-mage, I'm not really a Skyrim kind of girl. I'll watch it and tell people to Fus-ro-dah but that's about it. Same with FPS games. They make me sick though, so it's hard to play them.

Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite are interesting to watch being played though! I just... can't play them without wanting to puke.

You know it's funny but any kind of game with a first-person perspective I usually get sick watching, but not playing. Like Minecraft. My wife has the same situation. She can't watch me play that or she'll get sick. I guess when you're playing it's not like being stuck in a tilt-a-whirl because your brain is the one controlling the movement so you can prepare for it.

I've been meaning to delve into the realm of strategy RPGs, but I never get around to it. I don't care for the strategy genre, but I thought maybe I'd like them because of the RPG elements. I guess I end up thinking - if I want RPG elements, I play an RPG.

Also, everyone tells me to play Assassin's Creed. Idunno, it looks boring. -_-
I might get AC4 for my girlfriend since she thinks it looks awesome, and then I can try it too
