There was a thread recently about games you wish you gave up on sooner than you did, becuase everyone kept telling you they "got better later on". But I have a different question - what if a game is really good, you do like it, but you're either doing really badly at it, or just got totally stuck and can't move on for the life of you. Either way, although you like the game, playing it actually became more frustrating than fun. Depending on the game it may be a case of either your reflexes not being good enough, or simply having bad luck with the "dice rolls" or anything else. How long will you keep ramming the wall before you admit defeat? Hours? Days? Weeks? Or will you never ever quit, no matter how much time and frustration it costs you?
EDIT:
In case anyone is wondering, the game that prompted this question was Cardhunter, a game I think is really great, but my god-awful bad luck with cards and dice makes it almost impossible for me :D But I don't mean to complain about my poor luck (or skills, as some would insist), I'm genuinely curious how others approach this kind of situation. Especially nowadays, when we usually have plenty of games waiting in the backlog.
