Does abandoning a game you've invested a lot of time in before finishing it bother you? I stopped having fun with Assassins Creed: Valhalla over a month ago so I decided to stop playing it.
I figured my interest would eventually come back. It hasn't. The only reason I'm considering going back to it is that I've put roughly 50 hours into it and I think the completitionist in me is struggling as to whether I should go back and just finish it. Same thing with Cyberpunk 2077. Was having a blast but I think I burned out doing too many side quests. Put in roughly 50 hours in the first week it was released, took a break about a month ago, and haven't really had a desire to go back. Granted, I don't feel too bad about Cyberpunk 2077 because I don't really mind the idea of just waiting until the next gen patch comes out and starting a fresh play through.
It's weird, I took a break from gaming over the past several years, managed to pre-order an XSX, and I find the games I'm spending the most time on are old xbox titles on gamepass that I never played when they originally came out (this is my first xbox, previously owned Playstation 1-4 and various Nintendo consoles). Was thinking of starting Alan Wake tonight but I want to avoid a huge backlog of games I haven’t finished (my backlog of games I’ve began but haven’t yet completed currently consists of AC: Valhalla, Castlevania: SOTN, Halo MCC, Ori and the Blind Forest, Yakuza 0 and Sunset Overdrive.)
Anyways, do you find that your OCD gets the best of you, forcing you to finish games you stop enjoying? Or do you just quit as soon as you're no longer having fun? Maybe my attention span is just too shit nowadays to finish long/+40 hour games?
