At what point do you say you're done with a game you just bought? Similar to my thread about what's your gaming "turn off" before you play it. This time what is about a game that you bought that turned you off while playing it religiously? Further, how long after buying the game did it take you become fed up and return it?

Can't say there's a game like that. If there's a game I really, really didn't like, I'd stop right at the beginning. Then again maybe Black/White 2 is the most recent example. Beat 3rd gym, and I was done.

Well, there's Fire Emblem Awakening I guess. I'm sure a lot of you are sick of me mentioning this game. Truth be told, I liked it at first, but after going through later maps I was beginning to get ticked off. Basically I hit a map where there are many reinforcements out of nowhere (this is literally some trial and error and memorization crap, if I positioned a unit in a certain place and reinforcements come with absolutely no warning they're screwed) killing someone, then I restart and grind just a bit, then go back to beat the map, go to the next one, rinse and repeat. By chapter 20 I said "screw it", but instead of grinding a lot or just stop playing, I just solo'd the rest of the game with my most overpowered unit. After beating the game I wasn't having fun with the extra missions, so I stopped and wrote the game off (lol) from there.

It usually happens when I've been playing a game constantly and hit a snag, something I can't figure out how to do or that's just too hard. At that point, the difficulty in going onward coupled with fatigue takes away my motivation to keep playing or even look up a walkthrough.

The only games I actually found myself done with after even an hour of playing it were Black Ops and Halo 4...I wound up giving the latter away for free because that's how much I hated it.

Really any single player game that doesn't have a post-game I get tired of and end up selling for however much GameStop takes to help get a new game.
Well damn that's a lot of games then. lol

Well, I never return them, but I did store Big Brain Academy and Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood for the DS after a few days of playing. The latter was horribly short and unsatisfying, while the first was a badly overhyped child's game (not a kid's game, a child's as in a toddler was meant to play it. I normally enjoy kid's games).

I'm normally finished with a game when I simply don't like the game anymore. For example, with MAG on PS3 the game dissapointed me, and I didn't like playing it. I returned the game after about a week I had bought it. Wasn't a waste of money because it showed me that I wouldn't like that type of game.

The only game I've legitimately quit playing was FF XIII. I found it incredibly stupid to force the players to use certain characters in the beginning of the game and it was wearing on me enough to shelve it. For future games, I'd stop playing them once I get bored.

Dark Souls for me. I actually did get pretty deep into the game, but the "backing-out-of-the-game-when-you-drop-Internet-connection" did it for me. I was fighting a boss and I remember my roommate accidentally kicking the router which the Internet cable was connected to my Xbox 360. Considering how hard that bloody game is and how much progress I had made which I had forgotten to save at numerous points....

Instant rage quit to say the least.

I think I finally burned out on Disgaea D2. All that grinding that needs to be done...its just so boring and time consuming, so I have little motivation to play it nowadays. Not gonna return it, because I'll probably wanna play it some more in the future. But now...just no.

It takes a lot for me to trade in a game, as $60 for a game is a lot when you may only get half that for trading it in. The last game that I got fed up with was Final Fantasy 13-2. The story was all over. As much as I like Serah, I couldn't make myself play through to the end
