Well we looked at what people's fondest memories are, how about their most frustrating, painful, horrible memories?
I am not talking about simple hardware incompatibilities here, I am talking about playing a game for an amount of time and just having a HORRIBLE time... you spent money on the game and you are going to give it a go but man does it suck!
Or perhaps the game itself is fun but you hit a very frustrating point in it, some fail clan you belonged to that ruined a whole month worth of playing time... some update to an otherwise perfect game that just destroyed the core of it to you. Come on, share!
For me it was Spore. I tried man, I really did. I had all the classic sim games, I loved playing them. I just wanted to believe that spore would be epic. Yeah epically boring. As soon as I got to space it just dragged so much. After carving out a local core set of planets I just got bored. So I would try again, and begin to trade with other races... and it got boring. So I tried again, and became a warmonger... and it got boring. What is sad about the game is that until the final part of the game (space) it was more of an adventure game. You just had to do X enough times to progress to Y.
