2013 Failed Games

[markstyne]

There's a completed games thread. We also need one for games you have given up on.

January:

[Quantum Conundrum]

Like the game, and the humor, but some of the puzzles required too much split second timing. On some puzzles if you tossed a box incorrectly you messed up the whole solution and had to start over from scratch. And the jumping. There should never be jumping in a first person game.

Outland

Really liked the game and the visuals. But I need an easy mode or cheat code or something to get through this.

February:

Dead Rising 2: Off the Record

Not sure why I picked this up, besides the fact it was $9 on the Playstation store once.
The combat is way too slow and clunky. And the checkpoints are horrid. If I start over from a checkpoint, I need to be restored to full health. Not the puny one square I had when I went through the door. You're making it impossible for me to progress on anything short of a perfect run. This game punishes failure. God forbid if you're not set up correctly before a boss battle. You've just wasted the past hour of your play.
