I just stopped playing games with grinding for the sake of grinding. I don’t have time for that shit anymore. If I can’t make the grind go away with mods, I’ll just play something else.
Unfortunately lots of modern games have added tons of grinding as a way to drive “engagement” and add monetization. I rarely have time to play multiple days in a row and I’m not spending it doing daily challenge bullshit to get 1/100 cards needed to upgrade whatever.
I think this is kind of the problem I have with Elden Ring. There’s just so much grind. As much as I have enjoyed it I also resent it for blocking me from playing other things. I think I just want to complete it and move on. I don’t even know if I’m still enjoying it, but now it’s just a matter of honour.
I’ve got so many other games to play. Something like Deliver Us the Moon is the complete opposite of Elden Ring. Short, but thoroughly enjoyable. I’m really looking forward to playing Deliver Us Mars.
