I’m not sure why exactly, but I just struggle to finish basically any game where there is a heavy focus on story.
I seem to get about 90% of the way through them and then just stop playing abruptly. I think sometimes I do that because I just play too much in too short of a time, so I burn myself out on it unintentionally because I’m just enjoying the story so much up to that point. Other times I seem to be able to tell where the story is going and I don’t like it, usually because it’s tragic and I don’t want to experience the tragedy I know is coming; It’s like this sense of dread overcomes me and I struggle to continue. Other times still, I seem to just know the end is coming and I don’t want it to end so I put it off and then forget that I was almost done with it.
Does anyone else do this? I feel bad for having not finished a ton of different games, even the ones I was really enjoying at one time.
It doesn’t happen to me because I usually only play one game per time, at my very slow pace (I am a patient gamer after all) so I don’t get burn out.
When I’m feeling tired about a heavy story game I usually play something light like Mario Kart, Animal Crossing or your favorite multiplayer game, that way I avoid the burn out.
And well, this is a hobby after all, if you feel no other gaming workarounds/habits works for you you can always switch to another hobby, watch a movie, tv show, anime, read a book, go for a walk, or ultimately for me, go to Lemmy lol.
