Playing a game in search for fun, only to find breadcrumbs until I give up and play something that is fun from the first minute. (alien.top)

I think everybody kniws this situation. Playing one boring quest after the other just for those few seconds fun here and there. Too often I continued playing until I realized that this game will never be fun (for me). Games like AC Valhalla or Starfield.

Something like a sunk cost fallacy for time. I guess I'm not alone with this. But just giving up on boring games was really a relieving feeling.

What are your games you are glad to have left behind?

Orcs Must Die.

This happens to me a lot. I think it's a combination of getting older and the way games are designed now. I find it SO hard to get into a lot of RPGs these days. Like it's always such an investment to get into them. Like I've tried so hard to get into BG3 but it's so difficult for me, even though i know the game is objectively amazing.

Dark Souls

The gameplay loop just doesn't do it for me. Spending hours of anger for 10 seconds of relief isn't fun or enjoyable

Congratulations. You are not a masochist and respect your time.

The reason why I don’t come across this type of feeling too often is because I’m very careful with what games I get, I often do a lot of research, watch reviews or read feedbacks about the game before I buy it to make sure I will really like it. I also wait for sales so even if I don’t enjoy it as much I will not care as much for money since I didn’t spend as much
