Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear. The mission where you have to bug the terrorist camp. It's next to impossible because you can't even be seen let alone glanced at. There are no save points. So you can get 40+ minutes into the mission and one slip[ up and it's chutes and ladders all the way back to the beginning again. So annoying. You can't even fire a weapon.
I finally completed the mission once. I was so turned off and frustrated by it that I never finished Rogue Spear. A while later my hard drive crashed which means after re-installation I would have to start the whole campaign all over again, INCLUDING that mission.
I never even bothered to re-install it. I was that fed up.
There's an Arma 3 mission that is that way right now for me. I accomplished "Signal Lost" once before but because some silly update saw my campaign progress as not compatible, it started the campaign over at the last good save point, which is right where that tough mission is again. Grrrr.....!!!!

DCS World. It's beautiful, and it has the unusual distinction in simulation gaming of still being supported.
It's just not fun. In the pursuit of fidelity, they completely erased any sense of enjoyment, at least for me.

The Witcher 3. Everything about it seems to shout that I will like it. But in practice - meh. Just can't get into it.

That game you really want to try and like, but every time you try it, you just drop it and walk away after a few minutes of play.
You ask a most excellent question. For me the game is Assetto Corsa. The feel of the physics engine is nice and the graphics are nice but the actual immersion and gameplay itself I find to be so sterile and bland. I can never play it for more than an hour at any time.

Grand Prix Legends.
The sim is supposed to beat you. You're not supposed to be as fast as Clark Hill Gurney Brabham and company.
Been trying off and on since '98. The racing is great fun but real-race length Monaco? Nurburgring? You're lucky to finish, let alone get a top three spot. But "a few minutes" has no place in GPL. Takes longer than that to put in a good qualifying lap.

I hope to finish my Christmas shopping today. I'm on vacation this week to get things done. Maybe in a few days I can devote some seat time to GPL. After all these years I have a PC that doesn't bat an eye at it at full res and all sorts of mods.
But the images of "Zandvoort DNF. Kyalami DNF. Mosport DNF. Watkins Glen DNF." mock my wakeful dreams.

I guess it's the fact that I got spoiled by the Total War type RTS's, which have a more of a gritty historically authentic tactical element and less of an overall fantasy world aspect.
Cheers
This right here is the exact reason why I skipped on getting TW: Warhammer. A huge part of the appeal to me with the Total War series are the historical settings and the fact that I'm a big military history buff. I keep hoping that Creative Assembly is working on either an Empire 2 or Napoleon 2.
