I'm currently trying to play it this moment but Starfield when a character asked me to speak to another character who was right next to me. It really took me out of the experience, and it coming from Phantom Liberty made it even harder to come back to.

I can't recall many specific moments that made me quit a game, I usually just get bored and stop playing.
I think the most recent moment that made me quit was in Death Stranding, and there was another section having to advance through BT territory, and I just COULD NOT BE BOTHERED.

Enjoying Atomic Heart enough as a Bioshock rip of that was nice and linear. Then you get into the open world part with endlessly respawning robots.
Should have binned it off at the cringe sex fridge.

Yeah, I had that I think I was quite near the end and yeah I just couldn't be bothered. |

Alekhine's Gun - the entire game was a total disaster from top to bottom, chock-full of bugs and glitches. I persevered until the umpteenth hard crash permanently corrupted my save file, then bailed.
Just Cause 3 - performance on PS4 was hot garbage at launch. Only when things got manic, I admit, and it's not as though chaos is the entire point of the game in question... no, wait. It totally is. (I gave up after a couple of hours.)

Phantom Hourglass after making you go back to that fucking temple over and over again.
Gran Turismo 4 after one penalty too many for collisions I didn't cause.

Recently for me it's been:
Dark Souls - the library with the little ice monsters and wizards. Went beyond being difficult and just became a slog. Just CBA.
Starfield - entering a mine and realising it was a reskin of a different mine. And this was barely a few missions into the main quest line. Absolute guff.

I've found it really tough to get back into Cyberpunk, there's part of me that wants to play it more but another part that got closure at the end of the first playthrough. It's eerie a second time round.
I tend to abandon Sony single player adventures fairly early on, I think I'm just not a fan of playing an established character and having to deal with their decisions and motivations rather than given freedom to choose your own path. A lot of them I'd prefer to watch as TV shows.
I gave up on Breath of the Wild because I found it very unclear where to go and endlessly spawning enemies and weapon degradation just made the whole thing a chore. Honestly, I've never really enjoyed any of the 3D ones as much as LTTP or Link's Awakening.

Starfield. Two things and I just didn’t feel like playing anymore.
I had a mission to go to a listening post. Landed on the planet and headed toward the quest marker. Arrived at an abandoned listening post. Explored it. Wasn’t paying much attention to the quest. Exited the building and was confused as quest marker said I was still 250m from the location. Followed quest marker 250m to the exact same listening post. This one had the quest in it.
Exploring a planet and making my way through some pois. Found a fungal biome (or similar name). Next poi 800m away, a fungal biome. Next poi 900m away the same fungal biome.
Realised I didn’t want to spend anymore time on this.

Usually it's not one thing that stops me playing a game more, it's usually just an accumulation of boredom.
One thing that reliably turns me off, though, is a really big map. Especially if it's filled up with icons for me to go tick off. There were times in my life when I would have been into that kind of thing, but these days it feels more like work.

Similar to a lot of people here, it's just games that are too big and filled with meaningless padding.
I used to be a huge Ubisoft mark, but the last games o played and just gave up on were Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Far Cry 4.

There was also Ring Fit - because I was genuinely scared the thing was going to rip my shoulder out of its socket. A Google search confirmed the Ring-con was responsible for a lot of people tearing their rotator cuff.
So I got fat instead.

Valhalla's main problem was how boring the writing and characters were with a story I didn't care about. |

Far cry 6 and watch dog legion: played both on free to play weekend and both were lazy cookie cutter missions were awful characters. It was waste of time playing. Valhalla looked all the same and glad never played that
Fist Forged In Shadow Torch, played on gamepass and the controls of your character are so heavy and not good for metrodvania style platforming with lots of spikes. Also combat is not great. it was free on epic recently and not even worth adding to the other games I have there

I didn’t give up, but I do remember the end of Catherine being particularly arduous. I wouldn’t blame anyone for quitting before the end.
Also, the moment in the second playthrough of Heavy Rain when I realised the “choices” you make don’t make any real difference at all.

I never have time so for me it’s when I’ve had an enforced break for a couple of weeks and figure going back to a game would be like starting again.

Oooh, Catherine is one of the few I finished but I think I stepped down to an easier difficulty. Heavy rain - similar feelings here too. |

I don’t think I’ve ever been as desperate for a game to end as with Catherine. It just keeps going… it got the point I was wondering if it was some kind of purgatory-style behavioural experiment. |

I'm one of those idiots who usually forces himself to finish games no matter what. Normally it'll just be that I've gotten a bored of the story or mechanics and just want to get to the conclusion, so will mainline it, or lower the difficulty so I can get that closure. A game really has to bore me for me to give up on it completely.
I do remember giving up on Resonance of Fate because I couldn't get to grip with its mechanics, pretty much right from the start.

GTAV- just reaching the end of my tether with the controls. Got fucked off with them in 4 too. Not played RDR2 since, and won't be touching GTA6 either. I abandoned RDR2 twice before completing it. |

RDR2 is one of those experiences that I wish I could repeat brand new.

The floodgates have opened now…
I abandoned Discworld twice. Once because I got stuck, and once after I found a walkthrough because the puzzles were SO FUCKING STUPID!!!

The Witness - when I completely failed to figure out how the game worked.
Soma - the minute something started looking for me. Despite playing it on the no death mode. (I am so crap at horror games).
Sonic Adventure 2 - when I realised a third of the game would be that crap lock-on robot bit from the first game.
Sonic Frontiers - at the end of the first level. Because that’s the best bit of every sonic game.
Sonic Heroes - basically immediately.

I've been trying to think of any games that have really made me quit them and honestly the Sonic games are probably the closest contender. I've tried several and rarely have got more than an hour into any of them.

Witcher 3, first village. Was looking forward to it at first, but realised I don't have the patience for open world games anymore.
