I've dropped Zombie Army 4. It was a decent game, but just felt like I wanted to move on.

@FX102A I've also dropped Horace. I love the art style, the music and the general atmosphere of the game but the gameplay is tedious and frustrating.

I've dropped all metroidvanias I own (Steamworld Dig 1 and 2, Guacamelee 1 and 2, Iconoclasts, Hollow Knight). I got back into gaming two years ago after a 15-year hiatus and had to rediscover what type of games I liked. I thought these metroidvanias looked really cool, so I bought them on sale. Turns out I like the platforming (already knew that) but HATE the backtracking and getting lost. I really tried to like these games, but I just don't.

It actually sort of...hurts...to drop this one. I enjoy the WH universe and mythos. I like strategy rpgs. I really like the soundtrack by Guillaume David. (I mean...just listen to it.) But I'm not having fun, sadly.

Not recent but one of my hardest drops was Panzer Paladin. Just wasn’t enough ideas to be fun overall.

I dropped Sonic Generations PS3 for unable to play this genre. Dashing in very high speed with quick reaction just made me panic and uneasy. I think I will never get clicked with Sonic type games.

I dropped Jak & Daxter Trilogy PS3 for finding some glitches that made my character unable to move and I don't have genuine appeal with the series.

The Good Life, latest game from Swery, usually I like his awful games, I love Deadly Premonition 2 even though it is almost unplayable, but I cant get myself to play The Good Life. Its just... literally too bad, even for Swery Standards..

My wife and I haven't finished Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity yet. It's fun but...I don't know. Not that engaging.

Before that I dropped Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Just not my speed, figuratively and literally.

Hang on to your youthful enthusiasms - you'll be able to use them better when you're older.

@thebottomtext You know what - it's been maybe 6 or 7 years since I play that game, but your description of Emerald Coast brought back some painful memories. I think I might've had the same issue you did!

It's a shame we never got a truly good Sonic game on the 3DS.

I dropped the ACNH DLC pretty quick......I mean ACNH is kind of a "stint and break" game anyway where I go hard for a few weeks and then log off for a few months and then get inspired to do something new......but the Happy Home Paradise just hasn't grabbed me yet. I did three houses, including one for an invited villager but meh. I'm happy with my own island for now.

Clearing out the backlog.

Recently dropped Metal Max Xeno Reborn, Zelda: Skyward Sword, and Disco Elysium. Metal Max Xeno Reborn? Drab, slow, and boring. Skip. Zelda: Skyward Sword? I've never enjoyed 3D Zelda games and SS isn't any different; terrible control scheme. Skip. Disco Elysium? The console port is riddled with bugs. The fan in the first room of the game kills me = screen lock. The first conversation with a woman in the hallway outside of that room repeats when I investigate the cigarette she left behind = screen lock. Ugh! Skip.

It's been a long time since I dropped games, so it might have been either:

  • Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 (the plot didn't hook me)
  • New Pokémon Snap (too boring and tedious)
  • Animal Crossing: New Horizons (too bland and lack of activities on single player mode)

Sold the first two, probably won't pick up ACNH for a long time, if ever.

It's a shame too when I drop games because it meant I've wasted my time on something I didn't enjoy, but it beats pushing through to complete it and then whine about how I hated it on the forum.

Since I haven't played most of the Mega Man games before, I've basically been on a "Mega Man marathon" this past month or so, and I haven't given up on a single game. I beat all of the classic games, I beat everything in the Zero/ZX Collection, I made it through the first six X games, I even made it through Mega Man & Bass and Mega Man X6 (and low-key enjoyed the latter)...

...but then I played X7, and I couldn't make it past 30 minutes. It's so slow and clunky and unfun, there was no way I'd put myself through playing the rest of it.

Yo, I played ACNH with DLC Happy Home Paradise and I have accumulated more than 860 hours since I bought the game two years ago.
I like ACNH since the villagers will never moving out by themself and I like to play life sim games like The Sims.

@Anti-Matter Happy Home Paradise was fun for what it provided, and I might give it another shot someday, but the base game's routine activities like fishing and bug catching bored me eventually. I liked them for quite a while in the beginning, and I get that it's meant to be relaxing, but I'm someone who hates repetitiveness in my entertainment (unless there's something rewarding in the end like what grinding in RPGs offer you).

I heard New Leaf is better though since it has more things for you to do than just those mundane tasks; you get to build a whole city and stuff. That's pretty neat.

@Maxenmus
Actually, before I get into ACNL 3DS, I was skeptical I could enjoy the game considering I didn't like City Folk for lack of interesting things to do. As I played ACNL from week to week, I start to enjoy the game and the more I found some secrets like keeping my villagers forever while I'm getting hiatus from the game, it made me really excited to take control of ACNL.

Currently I take some hiatus from ACNH too after I have my beautiful island, all the chosen villagers stay forever on my island so I can get hiatus from the game when I have other games or new games to play. Sometimes I still log in ACNH just for maintenance, say hello to my villagers, doing some random funny things then save & quit from the game after around 30 minutes - 1 hour to play ACNH.

I've pretty much dropped Mario + Rabbids. I thought I would enjoy it - I bought it when it first released, and my son and I both played it quite a bit. But the gameplay just doesn't hook me. I've gotten to the second chapter twice (once on the first playthrough, and again when I restarted the game last spring), but something else comes along that I end up enjoying more. There's something about the strategery building in Mario + Rabbids that doesn't resonate with me. I have a hard time speaking the game's language in terms of creating successful strategies, and trying to formulate them isn't all that fun to me. I'm glad that other people have enjoyed this game, and I can see the appeal. It's just not for me. I recently stopped playing it in favor of Xenoblade 2, and that has been a great choice so far.

I used to have more fun doing that, designing my island and showing off my villagers when I still had a community to do that with. But after I had a falling out with the AC community in their forum, I pretty much had no one to share my designs with or talk to about my villagers. The multiplayer aspect as gone, and so the game just felt more lonely playing by myself after that, talking to virtual villagers who aren't real people.

I don't know. If Nintendo ever release a new AC update, I might get back into AC here and connect with the AC crowd in NintendoLife forum. But until then, I don't see myself picking my NH up any time soon.

Finally decided to drop Azure Striker Gunvolt last night. Played about 4 or 5 of the stages and it's doing nothing for me - can't quite put my finger on why though, there's nothing that stands out as particularly bad but it's just...meh.

Also haven't touched Monster Hunter Stories on 3DS for months - was only a few hours in, but haven't had the urge to go back and play more. I think this one might go back onto the pile of shame to re-start later as it's been so long since I played I've no clue what was happening in the story.
