Shadowrun.

Even before scheduling conflicts halted our D&D sessions, none of my friends wanted to play Shadowrun even though I am down to DM. We all played once, and while I fucking loved it and crave to play again, apparently nobody else did.

I have had problems with players saying that they were down for it, and they understand that they need to learn the rules, but then they play a technomancer and not really know what a sprite or the matrix is.

I liked the game, but I hated the broken promises.

I do think the rules are harder to understand because the books are just awful in the layout and presentation. I had to use exterior resources to understand character creation, magic and the "wireless world" stuff for 4e, and found that the previous version actually was simpler to understand (and I just find the need to physically jack in more fun than Watch_Dogging that shit).
