Abandoned S-ranks
I don't actively attempt to get too many s-ranks. Most of the time, some of the tasks are too hardcore or time-consuming to bother. These are the games where I really intended to get the s-rank, but ultimately had to give up.

The S rank for this game is not terribly difficult. However, The Simpson Game fucking sucks. The controls and camera are garbage, making some of the easier tasks far more difficult than they need to be. When I realized that I'd have to play through every level to beat the target time, I decided not to bother.

I was in for this. Then they added Brass Balls and I was out.

After A ranking this game, I started to go after some of the harder to get achievements. I ground out the weapon experience to get that achievement, got on my horse and beheaded 150 dudes, etc. Then I saw that the last Secret Achievement was Dark Rider. You have to ride your horse for 100 miles, which takes at least three solid hours as there's not a lot of room for that horse to run. Fuck. That.

No...just fucking no way. SMB's achievements are all actually pretty reasonable. There's no unnecessary bullshit time wasters like there were in Darksiders or The Simpson Game. But, the game is just way too damn hard. I've already gotten a blister on my finger from playing this. I'm done.

So I'm 97% of the way through. I'm going through a FAQ to finish off some of the last collectibles so I can get 100%. Then, awesomely, my game decides to crash whenever I go to Hogwarts! So my choice is either to quit, or start all of the way over. Lego Harry Potter is a long ass game; no way I'm going through this again!
