When do you throw in the towel and just start over?
If I'm playing through a game, stop for a while and then go back to it, it depends. If I am out of touch with the story, more often than not I'd restart it.
This. Or if I get to an area where I just can't get past because I'm too weak and there's no way to level ect. Happened to me at the Demon Gate in FFVII. Now I make sure I'm over level 35 before going to the Temple of the Ancients.
