Most abandoned games were made that way due lost impact, sometimes with ridiculous difficulty - then I need time to calm down, but there is risk these days that other games from my game library/backlog will catch my attention.
Wizardry 8...I admit that I abandoned 1st playthrough cause Arnika Road' Bapthism in Fire yet encounters didn't pull me off. Only the toughest one but it was still managable.
From other titles:
Anachronox - reached some big location where is not much to do and just forgot.
Pył (Dust) - imagine Thief but you get assault rifle instead of a bow and x10 higher difficulty than Expert level. Plus absolutely awful performance due shitty engine (mutation of DOS and Windows game) and outstandingly awful DOS emulation. Hours spend on configuration, all for 15FPS. Nah.
Might&Magic: World of Xeen - with every try my game went better but still not managed to finish. I propably collect some info and try again some day.
VtM: Bloodlines - some shitty sneaky section plus not sure if my character was decent at all (just suck in everything even sucking blood).
Thief 2X: Shadow of Metal Age - wasn't that much into sneaking genre despite finishing Thief 1 and 2 month or two back.
And Larian games, all of them. Give fun for few hours then you just lost impact to play. No idea why, games are great but it happen everytime.
Or Morrowind or Daggerfall. Game is cool but there is always moment when I just focus on other game(s) and never (i.e. more han month or two) come back.
It's propably best to play it when you have absolutely nothing else to do or play, at least for me...
Not to mention numerous mods for STALKERs but that was preludium to absolutely burning out of these games.
EDiT
And just like most codexers here I abandoned NWN2 due to boredome, but not camera control. Not sure why it rarely make me rage in games.
System Shock - just stopped playing after reaching 2nd or 3rd floor. Nothing particulary important stopped me and I lost attention span. Whatever.
I finished ToEE (end game was really intense, not only due fire boss/Fugus Lady but also bugs) yet need come back to finish additional content from Circle of Eight.
Sacred - cool for some time, then stop. Hope my latest restored interest in h'n's would help with it.
