Your most irrational, ridiculous reason for bouncing off a game?

Stopped Persona 5 even after 60ish hours because I didn't like any of the characters. I kept plodding along feeling obligated to continue playing after so much time, but eventually just forced myself to stop. It's a shame since the game was so good, but half of the enjoyment is the character interactions and I just didn't care for any of them compared to P3 or P4.
I'm with you on this. I just need to accept that "rogue-likes" aren't for me and stop buying them.
There's not. It's stupid.
Red Dead 2, after dying im just like you know what, I am not doing this again. bounced in the middle of chapter 2, and can't get back in it. I have tried several times to get back in it, but I just can't.
Funny. I skipped Ni No Kuni 2 entirely because i hate the cat ears and stupid hair cut of the main character. The overall design is just so off-putting to me.
I stopped playing Below because I accidentally fired all my arrows in the first 5 minutes while trying to figure out the controls. I realize this probably isn't a big deal but also it annoyed me.
The fact that it was free from Game Pass certainly lessened my commitment to it. I've certainly stopped playing other Game Pass games for similarly inane reason. Like I played ReCore a bit, realized it superficially reminded me of Horizon: Zero Dawn which I'd never beaten, and just went and played that instead.

The music in Dragon Quest XI. Lowering/muting it is an option, but a JRPG without good music is unplayable for me, I'm realizing.
Maybe I'll try again next year. The game is beautiful and definitely provides some jolly vibes.

I lost all interest in smt4A after learning the MC wasn't a petite punk girl. Really killed my vibe
the first time the main character started talking about the power of friendship in Xenoblade Chronicles 2, i removed the game from my switch and promptly returned it -- i just became irrationally angry and couldn't force myself to start playing again, it didn't help that the combat was a cluttered mess
God, that must've been like 20 minutes into the game.
I remember the first time I heard him yell "WE'LL BEAT THEM WITH THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP" and I was just aghast. Like, that shit is a meme, a total joke, and they have him come right out and say it at the beginning of battles without a hint of self-awareness. Woof.
Darkest Dungeon on Switch. I tried it figure out the UI and interface and...nope.
Back and forth and back and forth just trying to figure out how to outfit my characters and nothing makes sense.
Removed the cart. I won't ever play anything the developer makes now.
Similar thing with Golf Story. Couldn't figure out how to just free hit a ball or hit a ball that's on the ground after a bazillion tries. Won't ever play anything the developer makes.
This shit should be intuitive and when it isn't, I have no patience. More than that, I lose all confidence in the developer.

I don't think that's a bug. If you ever start a fight with NPCs around, some of the NPCs (including chickens) will attack you. This includes fights that were started by the mission scripting too.
Literally every 3rd person cover based shooter...the basic gameplay, and especially the AI, hasn't improved any since the first Splinter Cell game. I've tried so many times and failed to get very far because they are so boring.
Though it is first person, I'd lump Dishonored in this category as well.

There was an MMO (it may have been Rift?) where there was no shuffle animation when your character would turn on the spot. They would just slide in place to the new direction. I hated it, it made the character feel super detached from the world for some reason. I dropped the game because of a single, small animation that was missing.
Darkest Dungeon has a godawful console UI, which sucks because it's a really good game on PC.
Splinter Cell and Dishonored aren't cover based shooters though, do you mean stealth games?
You unlock a dodge (square + X ) later. Give it a chance its stupid fun.
As far as the action gameplay, yes they are. You won't last 2 seconds walking around outside of cover. Stealth is not mandatory in either game.
I had to do a story chase in GTA IV... and for a series about stealing and driving cars, the controls were so unresponsive and unenjoyable that I couldn't power through it. Sure, GTA V has sold a bajillion copies, but GTA IV left me so disillusioned I've had zero interest in the series since.
I never really gave Last of Us a shot for years because of zombies and generic looking main character. Still haven't played more than 2 hours of that game, maybe not for me.
I don't think Splinter Cell up to the later ones was meant to be played as an action shooter while Dishonored you can easily play as a full on action game if you're using your abilities properly. Either way, they're still not cover based shooters.
Sorry dude, but this is the bitchiest post I've ever seen lol. Tons of great games in there
Hmm, not sure if this is irrational, but looking at some games literally gives me motion sickness. I don't know if it's the anti-analising or the polygons or whatever, but no matter how awesome some games are, it's like I can't look at them for too long before getting dizzy. And it sucks bc this happens to me during some games I'd otherwise really like (MGSV, for example)
I consider them to be cover shooters...any shooter where taking cover behind things put in the environment is a cover based shooter IMO. Stealth is just a side effect of being good at staying behind cover.
Are you trying to be rational in a thread about irrational reasoning? lol
I'm just trying to establish how Splinter Cell and Dishonored are cover based shooters whilst not being cover based shooters at all. I guess the new Hitman games are also cover based shooters then! This irrationality is confusing.
Having stealth elements doesn't make it not a cover based shooter. You are using the word stealth, I'm using cover. This isn't a thread about what is the official definitions of cover based and stealth, lol.
Wow you are really triggered by this...I already said, it's my definition, in defining irrational reasons I don't like something. Don't take it so seriously. I never claimed it was some official definition but I can change all of my posts to "I don't like 3rd person shooters" if you want.
Xenoblade X because for what reason I decided to grind to max out my affinity with the other party members before doing Chapter 9, which was a slog since I explored a massive chunk of Mira prior. Not helped with the fact that it's super easy to reach the level cap (60) once you're able to build a decent enough Skell.
Also, since I played with a female avatar, the lack of the bust slider in the Western versions of the gamekind of was a killer for me to.
My irrational anger is people who mislabel stuff I guess.
Overwatch is the worst football game I've ever played.
I tried playing Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice earlier today for the first time.
I was immediately put off by the boring intro dragging on way too long. Then it forced me to move at walking speed. Then it started pestering me to focus on something whilst making zero effort to tell me how, leaving to press every button on the controller until something worked.
At that point I noped out because it had a trio of annoyances immediately.

I dropped Alan Wake because the writing of the manuscript pages you would find, which were supposed to be representative a professional (if not schlocky) writer, were of a tremendously poor quality. I just can't believe there is a world where Alan Wake could be a best-selling author. I say that despite living in a world where E. L. James' success is a thing.
I didn't play Skyrim for months after release on 360 after, on day of release, I was confused about the puzzle in that golden claw quest (the one where you turn the pillars to match up with the images.) I sat there for ages trying to figure it out, thinking it must be more complex than I realised, before going on the internet and finding out there was a bug that broke the puzzle. More angry at myself for playing a Beth game on day 1, but I just dropped it for a while out of irritation.
