@Th3solution Intresting that you abbreviated your forum name and not your real name with your internal monologue. Is that what you actually do, or just cos your on the forum? 🤔
It is tricky to stick with though @BearsEatBeets, as i can sometimes play several games before finding something that gels. For example, after finishing AC Origins I played abiut three or four games before finding something that resonated with me enough to continue playing it. And only some of those games I will go back to. Saying that I left AC Origins i had not played for over a year! 🤣 In reality there are very few games they I've managed to play all the through without breaking off to play something else, even if it for a couple of days: Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War, Sekiro, The Witcher 3. There are probably a few more that I don't remember, but not too many more.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@stuzster Yeah I'm the same, think I only pre-ordered two games last year in Sekiro and Shenmue 3. This year could be busier, with more titles I'm interested in playing day one. But I'm not one of those people that has to play new titles just becasue they are new or to keep up with conversations, or for any other reason really.

@Th3solution I can sympathize with this so much. I have a big ol' backlog that needs working through and I keep telling myself that I will go back to that one game, but for some reason I never do. Current games on my Switch for example are Dragon Quest Builders (On the last chapter) and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (Only on chapter 3). I have enjoyed both games based on what I have played, but have just never found the time/reason/motivation to go back to them. PS4 games that I would like to return to but haven't for whatever reason are Tales of Zestiria and Gravity Rush: Remastered.
There are however some games where I will go on month/year long breaks and when I finally return, I proceed to play them continuously as something just clicks. Games for me include Bowser's Inside Story for DS (abandoned for about 5 months before picking up) and then Horizon Zero Dawn (based on trophies, started playing in Jan 2018 for a little bit then stopped, picked up, restarted and played half the game in May/June 2019 then stopped again and finally started playing Late Jan/Early Feb 2020 and finishing the game complete with platinum trophy, including DLC). Stuff like this makes me hesitate to say that I am done with a Game forever.
The only real game that I can't be bothered to ever return and have hence given up is Sonic 06 which I remember just getting stuck on one of the levels due to some dodgy controls. This was years ago so who knows, I might be able to do it now, but I just do not remember good things about that game hence I can't be bothered to go back... now that I have said that I probably will want to try now... damn it.
@MS7000 i actually finished Sonic 06, i pushed through the bad controls and glitches because i'm such a huge Sonic fan
the ending wasn't worth it

@FullbringIchigo That is good to know. I have finished most Sonic games that I have played at one point or another, so I would of thought that I could do Sonic 06 but again, lack of motivation. At least I don't feel as guilty now.
@MS7000 your probably best just looking it up on youtube

@MS7000 Yeah, Horizon Zero Dawn was one of those for me too — had a few month break from it, but when I went back for the second round, I really got into and stuck with it to the end and enjoyed every minute of it. I can’t remember now what it was that drew me away from it to begin with, but I appreciated the game more upon return.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
Why.... Because I found it boring and bland the characters just weren't likable at all I thought that with each different character they would have different attacks if they had the same skill tree but they don't.
I got the GOTY edition and even though I got for like £11 off the store I just can't bare to play it. I've tried and tried but after a few hours I don't feel lve progressed with the game and I've lost those hours that I could have been doing something else.
Shadow of the tomb raider
Why... I got it cheap for my girlfriend who loves the first and 2nd games so got the 3rd, I was watching her play it and I was like no way in hell I'm I playing that. After the 2nd one I could never understand why she would need to get the same skills back again, I was always hoping the skills from 1 passed across in some sort of way then you would learn new survival skills etc with each game but no. It's different story same gameplay learn the same skills you did previously and I just can't do it again.
Apex Legends. Good fun and mechanically very sound. But so shallow. Is there really only one mode? Plus all you are really doing is unlocking skins and other superficial stuff. Suppose could be better with mates but even then would eventually get bored of it. Yeah I know it's ftp, but I rather pay to get a more traditional full experience.

There are only three games I've ever actively walked away from, and even then it was with a "one day, I'll come back and try this again" mentality (probably a cosy lie, but it was enough to break my frustration as they were all games I found too difficult to progress with).
Both times I've played Horizon: Zero Dawn I've had to take a break, but otherwise I've yet to truly abandon a game unfinished. There's still time. I've gotten a lot of new games recently, games I should be playing but haven't found the motivation or desire to start. Some I know I'll get going with and get into, but there are others I doubt I'll enjoy enough to see through to the end.
It's one of the reasons I'll never get Red Dead 2 (there are plenty of others, but I barely managed to complete the story in the first game; I know I'd just run out of patience with it).
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
Bringing this topic back from the depths because I've just chosen to give up and walk away from a game which, let's be honest, trying was a big risk anyway.
Asking me to wander around a mansion at my own pace, cautiously fending off slow-moving human zombies and the occasional attic-dwelling snake, was fine. Had no problem with that. Everything was a known quantity; I could brace myself whilst watching an animation of an opening door, or an ascending staircase, and deal with blocky figures who posed no real threat. Happy to run about, solve puzzles, juggle limited inventory space and periodically punch my progress into an old typewriter.
Sending me outside to suddenly introduce jump-scare elements, such as snakes dropping on my head and tentacles grabbing me from beneath the floor? No. No thank you. Not comfortable with that at all. I paused the game and searched for a Let's Play on YouTube, just to double-check that I wasn't overreacting, only to see that the very next door I was about to open hid a pair of giant tarantulas.
Resident Evil: Director's Cut will stay incomplete for now... and, if I'm honest, probably forever.
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
@RogerRoger Honestly, the 2 remake and 4 aren’t as scary since you have more camera control so you could always ease yourself in. Horror games aren’t for everyone!
@kyleforrester87 Yeah, this was the PSone Classic of the original. It's still atmospheric enough, especially to me, somebody who's usually allergic to survival horror.
I gave it my best shot. I guess "going outside" is a universally bad idea right now, digitally or otherwise!
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
@nessisonett I've seen quite a bit of footage from Resi 4 and I think the mostly-human enemies and over-the-shoulder gunplay would be more appealing. Creatures are bad enough; creatures who surprise and jump you are worse. Add in a fixed camera and I'm good, thanks!
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
I did watch a friend play the recent demo for the Nemesis remake and had to look away multiple times; that kinda thing just isn't what I wanna see any more.
Will start something Star Wars tonight. Bleach my brain.

Darn... Shame to hear @RogerRoger but as ness says survival horror isn't for everyone
I think I remember you mentioning your dislike of spiders elsewhere in the forum a while back? Not liking Spiders myself (Or jump scares either really) I don't blame ya!

@RogerRoger A fellow arachnophobiac here, and man the ones in the Resi Evil was tough to play through. See also Bloodborne. And Dark Souls 2. There are none in remake 2, but they make a return in Nemesis. One of the reasons why I am less looking forward to it despite it being my fave of the ps1 versions. I can't and don't want to imagine how they will look in the glorious new engine.
