The only one I can recall offhand is Garshasp: The Monster Slayer.
I tried to push through it ,but I think I gave up somewhere in the jungle act or the one after it.
It just wasn't holding my attention and the camera was horrible.
I do applaud them for trying to get a game of that styling on the PC though.
GTA IV
Call of Duty
Starcraft
WoW
I wouldn't call these crap, but they didn't interest me enough to finish them.

Septerra Core - I like JRPGs and thought I would enjoy this more but the combat is too slow and I didn't find the story/characters/world interesting enough to stick with it.

The Last Express - The game looks great and is interesting but I don't like the time limits, I like to take my time with adventure games.

Postal 2 - It was fun at first but got old for me pretty quick.

Now these were crap imo but I didn't expect to like them:
Postal - Bought in a bundle because it was one of those buy more/save more during the winter sale, and thought I'd play it atleast once. Well, I only played it once.

Earthworm Jim 3D: Expected it to bad but I'm an Earthworm Jim fan so I decided to buy when it was only $3. Bad controls and camera ruin it mostly.
Anachronox. It's occasionally funny, sure, but that can't hold a game together. The combat was just horrible.

Evolva. The premise is interesting and should make for a fun game. Unfortunately, the gameplay just doesn't hold up. It's a little awkward. Plus, something about the graphics is just... off.

Lionheart: Legacy of the Crusader. The setting is pretty cool, but I found it to be too hard to be fun. It's one of those RPGs that seems to have had a specific build in mind, and I was unlucky enough to choose the wrong build.

Desperados. Being such a fan of the Commandos games, and hearing this one was similar, I really wanted to like it. However, it was way too hard for my tastes. The game requires perfection, and unfortunately, I just can't play it perfectly.

Divine Divinity. To this day, this is the game I am most disappointed with. A lot of the games I buy here on GOG I buy because they are on sale and look a little interesting. I figure if I don't like it, I didn't pay too much for it so it won't be much of a loss. However, I had been looking for Divine Divinity for over a year. I read about it somewhere and I thought it looked awesome, but I couldn't find it. And then one day I hear about this site called GOG, and they have Divine Divinity on sale. I joined GOG and bought it... only to be utterly disappointed with it. It just isn't fun. At all. And the story isn't great either (yes, I realize that's opinion, but whatever).
Sure, a whole bunch of games.

Off the top of my mind, Tomb Raider 2013, the amount of times that game flat out took control away from me, just within the one hour I played, honestly disgusted me.
Mini Motor Racing EVO

Erm...can only play game pad game with keyboard?

M$ or DIE!!!!!
I'll stick to my core genres here, FPS and RPG, because there are probably hundreds of shit indie games and cheap sale purchases I have played for an hour or less and uninstalled.

Rage - I liked it more than most, but it was super long and never changed the formula up enough to make that 20-30 hours feel well paced. I do plan to go back to it however, and I got the DLC for that purpose. At the time though I just couldn't finish and had to uninstall because of how much disc space it sucked up.

Neverwinter Nights/Neverwinter Nights 2 - I am super RPG guy but I found both main campaigns in this series boring as hell. Something about plain D&D written in a safe way makes me want to fall asleep. I hear the expansions are much better and plan to play those some day, but the main campaigns put me off them.

KotOR - Just boring my first and second go-around. Not sure why, I love sci-fi and while I am not a big Star Wars fan the setting is cool enough. Something about the writing or Xbox technical limitations just put me off right after Taris each time I played the game. Luckily I eventually buckled down and played the game for longer and it finally hooked me after the second planet. I still hate how small and predictable the areas are though.

Jade Empire - The same technical shite KotOR has, plus I hate the combat. Not sure I can ever go back to this one.

t4n3: I have this problem with the elder scrolls games. I start, play, enjoy, then just get bored and uninstall. Is something wrong with me or do they just get old very quick?
I almost made a separate thread for this point. I have always had a problem staying totally interested in RPGs, even the truly GREAT GREAT GREAT ones. Right now I'm finishing up KOTOR 2 (with the addons to make it great) and I'm having trouble pushing through to the end, even though I'm so close. I had this problem with NWN, Gothic, KOTOR 1, and countless others. I don't know if it's ADD or what, but at some point I need a change, and usually a big one as in something fast and stupid just to give me a break from the slower cerebral approach of good RPGs.

Baldur's Gate 2: I just can't get into it.unfair encounters, difficulty spikes all across the game.the only thing that held me in was Irenicus.
Kingpin.

The cliched "gangsters" were annoying. The script was poor and the gameplay was something that I couldn't adjust to in a reasonable amount of time. I heard enough good things that I wanted to try and force my way through, but the gameplay wouldn't allow it.

It annoys me to not fully finish a game... this one I never really got started on. I've revisited it 3 times after taking very long breaks from it and have come away with the same conclusion each time.


Black and White.

Attempting to be very patient, my pet would never actually learn anything. Spending hours using the leashes and the training mechanics would never really show a noticeable effect. The game seemed fantastic in several ways, but I get frustrated when logic breaks down. It seems the game was too ambitious and had some scripting logic flaws. I couldn't stand working for hours just to catch my pet eating people.
Gobliiins - Quite possibly stumbles over every adventure game and puzzle hurdle - Unintuitive, confusing, arbitrary, general lack of communication towards the player. I basically found it to be a complete mess of a game.
The great thing about this thread is that every time someone mentions a game they despise someone else reads it and thinks "That's one of my all time favorites!" and visa versa.
1) Mirror's Edge - Super crappy save point system and bad controls. I gave it circa 6 hours of my life.

2) Bayonetta - I wanted to like this game and to discover why it was so positively accepted. It was impossible to do with Street Fighter level of deep delivered with millions of crotch and ass shots backed by ogling sleazy guys panorama. It was whole game design that put me off. One hour.

3) Ico - Save point system. Enemies spawning 20 minutes after the last save point with some puzzles and boring running in the middle and 5 before next just was too much. And the fact that it's heavily atmospheric (that's the good thing) at the expense of story made me decide to put it aside and watch LP. Two hours, I guess.

4) Oblivion & Morrowind - I liked the rich skill system. I didn't like the blank world, random dialogue and quest generator and grinding. It felt like staring into the black hole. Probably 3 hours per Morrowind, 10 hours per Oblivion.

And I think that Kingdom of Amalur will be next on that list. It's like Oblivion.
Evoland: I was expecting a decent, challenging RPG that drew upon the development of JRPGs over the years, and instead I got some linear mess that wallowed in its own indulgent nostalgia.

F1 Race Stars: Was hoping for a decentish karting game - a rarity on the PC - but this game was just nothing short of horrible. Unfair, unbalanced, rubber-band AI, crap handling, boring progression structure. As and when we finally get the right to sell used Steam games, this will be the first to go.
Disciples 3, anyone? God damn biggest disappointment ever. Sooooo boring.
