So I was stoked beyond belief about Baldurs Gate 3, Alan Wake 2, Starfield, Assassins Creed Mirage, Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty and played them all and loved them but every one is about 50%-75% finished. At this point my computer has nothing installed on it but The Talos Principle 2 (which is great) and I just can’t seem to find something to hold my attention. Is there anyone out there that is a lifelong gamer that just can’t seem to keep your interest all the way through? I built a brand new PC for these games and they all worked and looked beautiful but man I just can’t keep it going.
TLDR - Old school gamer can’t seem to keep interest in games to finish them anymore, anyone else?
I have a problem of getting all the way to the end and not finishing it. Cyberpunk, Starfield, and Far Cry are my biggest culprits. I believe one part of it is fatigue. Long games are exhausting and I hit a point where I’m just over it. Another part is that I want to try and finish as much side stuff as I can before it’s over and somewhere in there it loses me.
I have coped with this by playing shorter, more linear games. I’ve recently finished Dead Space which was great (I’m not typically a horror game guy). Right now I’m playing through the Batman Arkham series again. The shorter and less complicated a game is, the more likely I am to finish it.
