My guess, is that it’s a collision between passion and growing up. Thankfully I usually get a feeling of proper closure when the ending credits hit the screen, even if I didn't do nearly everything. It can easily suck out the fun from games, even if you enjoy min-maxing, once it's no longer entertaining but a chore without a reward it loses its meaning. Perfectionism and completionism can lead to endless restarts of games if you want to build your character differently, gathering all the items/ammo/whatever and never really putting most of it into use and going over guides to make sure you don't miss an achievement and have to redo tons of things for it. I really enjoyed the time I spent with the game because I got to play all the stuff I enjoyed while avoiding those I hated. If I had to do all the stuff I disliked in a chase for 100% I would probably end up really frustrated with it. I recently finished Yakuza 0 and it had tons of mini-games, side quests and whatnot and even new game+ with additional difficulty option, while playing the game I did spend extra times on those side activities I enjoyed (setting up the business, karaoke etc.) but avoided the ones that I hated (playing darts, micro cars etc.). It's just too often a lot of it feels like filler and this is more of a thing with modern games. Obviously this is not true for all games and if you really enjoy all the stuff they made then that's just bonus. I haven't 100% a game in ages because I feel like most of the games, especially open world or with tons of optional content have so much pointless padding in them that were mostly made to extend the playtime so they can say "our game runs X hours" to market it better to people who value games by $ per hour spent. Searching for people with same problem? Seeking for advice and support? Or maybe just looking for permission to drop the game that is just too exhausting for me nowĮDIT: I posted it in this sub because thought that this - need to 100% old games before moving to next ones - is somewhat relevant to "patient gamer" stuff - in a way of "why I don't play new games and why my backlog is so big". To be completely honest, I don't even know why am I making this post. And I know if I don't complete this game now, I won't complete it at all, with my giant backlog. Lately I seem to finally learn to not 100% regular games, but not completing the game I actually like feels like I'm betraying myself, and that also makes me feel bad. Maybe I'm becoming too old (though it's only 25) and/or too depressed for such dedication. I still remember my grinding to Lv.99 and following victory over Ozma after multiple attempts in Final Fantasy IX, my first jRPG, twelve years ago. And what's the point, Switch doesn't even have achievements anyway, and I lost my ability to feel strong emotions (including satisfaction) to depression couple years ago.īut on the other hand, I can't just leave it as it is. I see amount of work it requires, I predict how many times I have to replay battle ( ) - and I just don't feel like it. And last boss is literally all that's left, just battle system. I like this game and it's gameplay, I love battle system. But you know, I also keep delaying actually playing the game. I already got all secret jobs, I got some of the best equipment, I just spent last forty minutes with couple sheets of paper designing teams and choosing jobs for final boss ( ). It's pretty hard, would require a lot of griniding beforehand or very good strategy (that you have to come up with). Well, technically, I already finished it all except for some high level sidequests and optional final superboss. I'm finishing Octopath Traveler right now.
