Reason(s) Why You Quit Playing a Good Game

Yeah, a last second blue shell

Yeah, last second aids.

or, when you get AIDS in mid-air, and it causes you to immediately fall out of bounds

I'll bite - what's aids?

Why do you call Lightning, aids?

because it's the worst

[Monkey_Driven]

Lightning and the Squid are the worst when you are in 1st.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Man, those rm karting sessions were great. Didn't we call the giant mushroom steroids?

[Norah]

i don't remember that

i can handle the squid, the lightning is the worst

The squid is the pits when you're racing online because you can't see all the other racers throwing shit at you.

Yeah the ones that made you gigantic. I think RICK started it, saying you were on steroids when you got bigger

I gave up on Doom 3 (2004) about 10 hours in once I realized I had yet another huge stretch of repetitive, poorly lit laboratory corridors ahead of me. 2016's installment confirmed that Doom works so much better as a chaotic, balls-to-the-wall shooter - and not a poorly executed attempt at atmospheric horror.

I gave up on Skyrim about 25 hours in once my character, an archer/ranger, was killing everything (except the occasional dragon) with a single shot. It felt so unrewarding.

I gave up on Cuphead once I realized I was fucking awful at classic platformers, and my reaction time/pattern recognition wasn't what it used to be.

Elden Ring. I beat it a while back and have started a new game with my OP player last night, and I cannot get into it anymore. I don't imagine playing this game anymore for at least a year, if ever. I guess it just feels like the magic and mystery, which was what was so entrancing about it before, is all gone.

[Ello Sailor]

Is it really quitting if you've already beaten it?

[tree_]

I was heading in to complete another run. There are apparently multiple ways to beat the game and surely many things I didn't do or see. It felt exciting, and then I started playing and lost all interest after about 20 minutes. So, I set out to do something and then I quit. Maybe when I tire of Madden I'll start a new game with a new character so I'm not so over powered.

He's moved on. We should all be so lucky.

Too many water levels / too much time spent underwater.

Water levels can be cool. Or at least levels with an aquatic element. Like the classic Tomb Raider games -- trying to navigate submerged temple ruins without drowning was pretty intense.

[Norah]

I liked the water levels in Donkey Kong Country.

Last of us does water well
