I can't help myself. Once I put a certain amount of time/effort into a game I have to see it through. FFXIII was the biggest offender for me. I knew the game was shit when I was still in the tutorial after 8 hours but I couldn't stop myself. I wish I wasn't like this.

You do realize the hypocrisy of this, right?
It has a very fun movement system, and the game always promises more. Unfortunately, it never delivers, and it ends up being nothing but grind to access more unbearable grinds, so that you can access even more grind. Throw in a bunch of FOMO on top of it all, and it turns into an unending skinner box. One day, you wake up, realize you have 5000 hours played, you achieved nothing, and you never really had fun to begin with.
It's happened, but only because the game does have fun elements, but they wear thin after a while, and once the magic fades, they're too great to ignore. For me that's Elite Dangerous and DCS, but I put hundreds of hours in those.
You are a fricking moron for buying a game on release and expecting it to not be a gamble. This isn't 1997, where a company will release a game on release and you can expect it to be good
NTA but I never played a Diablo game before Diablo 3 in like 2019 for $20. I actually liked it. But I didn't buy Diablo 4 because Blizzard is fricking GAY. Bought Street Fighter 6 instead.
>can't even put 2 hours into a game anymore because the red flags and turnoffs hit you from before you even see the Steam store page
Gaming is fricking dead
That doesn't change the objective fact that most games are doodoo dogshit that can be shown to be demonstrably worse than their predecessors these days
Closest I've come to it was FFXIV, but I didn't think it sucked, I just didn't find it that impressive either. I still might go back to it at some point because the whole reason I started playing it was because of the praise Shadowbringers got, but I saw Heavensward get a lot of praise too and I didn't care for it so I've become skeptical of that praise for Shadowbringers.
I don't really mind the time I put into it anyway. It's not like it was horrible to play, it was just nothing special. I think it was worth trying anyway because I probably would have kept wondering about it otherwise.
if you didn't like HW, its not for you. I don't mean that like in some sort of snarky "you aren't patrician enough to enjoy my nip anime game" i mean you just aren't into watching tons and tons of cutscenes. And that doesn't change.
Eh not 100 hours but after I beat kh2 I started hard mode got about 1/3rd of the way through the game and realized I hated the game and never played it since or any sequels.
Persona 5. I love the music and aesthetics, but the gameplay is easy (even on hard), fusion is boring and a waste of my time (especially with the alarm) and the story and characters are meh at best. Someone, please tell me it's okay to quit now.
If you're 100+ hours in then you're probably almost done with it, but also if you didn't enjoy it up to then you probably wouldn't enjoy the rest of it.
Just finished Futaba's palace. I'll be honest, I don't mind the story too much, but the palaces/mementos are lame and the huge chunk of time you spend doing daily life gameplay in between dungeons (and thus plot) makes the game feel like it drags on. Plus, the limited time makes me stress about trying to fit in all the social links. The same applied to P4, although I liked that one more because of the characters. It's a shame, cause I want to enjoy them more.
I always give up my playthrough, but the nostalgia and imagination my first TES playthrough gave me kept me playing these games for too long.
They're shallow but they appear as if a lot more is going on than there really is. It feels like there is choice, but there isn't. It feels like there is lore, but there isn't.
>you would think you would have stopped having fun sooner than 100 hours. but if you enjoyed it that long then it's pretty good game no
This is not inherently true. Lots of shitty fricking live service games pad their initial offering of gameplay and content, but when you reach end game you discover that the tracks run out and the game was actually going no where all along.

Kill me
It got tedious about halfway through and the game actually got worse. I didn't even finish it but I think I got 100 hours. Maybe I spent too much time on side shit and got bored? But I've done that with other games too and still finished. A lot of mechanics I hated too.
Probably honkai starrail?
It started off so strong and I love the characters but it's been like 2 months with zero content now and i've lost all will to log back in
I played a ton of League of Legends, put in the effort, climbed to the top % of players and realized it was shitty, boring and they started to make every character brown, gay or brown and gay. Also the matchmaking is rigged so i wasted way more time than i needed to.
So every MgsV player. You ether admit it's ass or go the other path were you blindly defend the game as if fighting for it will somehow redeem all the time you wasted playing it
I unironically liked that game, but I did also joke with friends at the time that it felt like playing with GI Joes. The only open world games I had played before that one were GTA Vice City and San Andreas, so I don't think I was as burnt out on the genre's conventions as lot of other players were.
most recently pokémon violet
area zero scenario was very kino but holy frick was the game in its entirety not worth it. last $60 game freak is conning out of me
I felt like I got my moneys out of violet by training pokemon up to do the 7 star raids. I hadd fun with those.
To op's point. Mmos. Over 2k hours in both wow and ffxiv each (probably closer to 4k for wow). I had fun in the moment, but both games are irredeemable garbage once I noticed the game was literally just stand in the right spot and press 1-5 while pressing 7 on occasion
I've had that happen with a couple of games around the twenty hour mark. I've played plenty of video games, but I've only sunk literal hundreds of hours into maybe ten of them.
>>put 100+ hours into game
it sucks >Admit it, it's happened to you.
More like >put 1000+ hours into game >it sucks the whole time and never gets better
I beat that game. Frick you I beat it. I don't care that it's an online arena shooter, I've beaten it and you can all cry about it.
>play 5 hours >leave negative review >"NOOO YOU DIDN'T EVEN GET TO THE GOOD PART, YOU DIDN'T ACTUALLY PLAY THE GAME" >play 100 hours >leave negative review >"WELL CLEARLY YOU LIKED IT IF YOU PLAYED THAT LONG"
bros what is the exact number of hours I have to play a game to avoid these cope replies
I basically had that experience with both trying to have online or real life friends.
Yeah, ended up having to drop them in both cases because they got "concerned" about my mental health plus "didn't want to hear" what I was saying about politics/social problems. Well in all honesty they dropped me, blocking/unfriending me and even removing me from the discord server we were on.
Normalgays, man. Not even once. All I was doing was showing them various social problems, introducing them via WLP's American Dissident Voices, Commonfilth and the like. I even showed them entry level literature like Siege, Crippled America, Mein Kampf, Serpent's Walk, The Turner diaries, Hunter, The Bell curve. Nothing that radical, you know.
I don't get how people do this. I've seen steam reviews with some sap complaining about a game with thousands of hours played. If a game doesn't grab me within a few hours I just accept the loss and move on. I don't play a lot so I have a list of potentially great games to play instead.
The entire gameplay (at least on PC sucked). >play on hard >cutscene starts >cutscene finishes >get hit by npcs while you are still in "cutscene-lock" >die

Elite Dangerous was a really fun space screenshot game but I went 200 hours before finally giving up on it after realizing there was no "game" part to it.
God I wish there was more substance to ED. I can only float around a mining belt shooting pirate NPCs for so long and PVP is basically nonexistant.

i didn't get it either
I know it won't scratch the exact same itch but God I hope Starfield is good.
All of these space games (SC, ED, NMS) have been absolutely fricked due to being online/multiplayer so thank Todd we're getting something that was MEANT to be played offline.

no it hasn't
COPE
If it sucks, why the frick would you play it that long?
Maybe you wanted to give it a fair try before judging whether it's good or not?
I can't help myself. Once I put a certain amount of time/effort into a game I have to see it through. FFXIII was the biggest offender for me. I knew the game was shit when I was still in the tutorial after 8 hours but I couldn't stop myself. I wish I wasn't like this.

It didn't suck, you just got bored of it after 100+ hours. Stop playing it and find something else to play ffs.
RuneScape, and it wasn't just 100+ hours, it was 10000+ hours.
Morlike54000
Hours
persona 5. I realized this when I noticed I wasn't enjoying the dungeons and I was skipping the cutscenes, and that was all there was to the game.
Digimon World 2
The grind wasn't worth it.
It's happened, but only because the game does have fun elements, but they wear thin after a while, and once the magic fades, they're too great to ignore. For me that's Elite Dangerous and DCS, but I put hundreds of hours in those.
2000hrs to realize DBD devs don't know what they're doing.
Zelda TOTK thread
Diablo 4 for me.
You are a fricking moron for buying a game on release and expecting it to not be a gamble. This isn't 1997, where a company will release a game on release and you can expect it to be good
The last one was terrible and Blizzard has only gotten worse, not sure what you expected
NTA but I never played a Diablo game before Diablo 3 in like 2019 for $20. I actually liked it. But I didn't buy Diablo 4 because Blizzard is fricking GAY. Bought Street Fighter 6 instead.

It's your own fault for falling for that shit
I don't really mind the time I put into it anyway. It's not like it was horrible to play, it was just nothing special. I think it was worth trying anyway because I probably would have kept wondering about it otherwise.
if you didn't like HW, its not for you. I don't mean that like in some sort of snarky "you aren't patrician enough to enjoy my nip anime game" i mean you just aren't into watching tons and tons of cutscenes. And that doesn't change.
Bethesda games on general.
Spend more time modding them than actually playing in a vain attempt to make them "good", yet always fail.
It's happening to me right now OP
This happened with me but after 900+ hours with trails. I've wasted my life.
It only took me 10 hours of play to realize Elden Ring was copy pasted trash
Sekiro chads won
>It only took me 10 hours of play to realize Elden Ring was copy pasted trash
First ARPG?
Nope, I played Dragon's Dogma before which was actually decent
Eh not 100 hours but after I beat kh2 I started hard mode got about 1/3rd of the way through the game and realized I hated the game and never played it since or any sequels.

You ever play schedule management VN? Maybe that's why you hate it
You still have plenty of the game left after that and I doubt you'll enjoy it much more if you haven't enjoyed it much up to that point.
I did this with Ganker.
Skyrim.
I always give up my playthrough, but the nostalgia and imagination my first TES playthrough gave me kept me playing these games for too long.

If you play a game for 100 before realizing you don't like it you're clinically moronic.

No. If I’m bored or interested about an hour or two, I drop it. I’m not a moron.

I have over 1500 hours in master duel

Yeah, that was Breath of the Wild for me. Yet anons still accuse me of not playing the game when I criticize it.
I have 80 some hours in it and I finished everything except some sidequests, idk what you guys were doing to have more than 100 hours
I was trying to force myself to beat the game. I didn't exactly do it because I gave up out of boredom.
Yes diablo 4
Why did so many of you homies buy this shit do you not have any restraint
I don't get how people do this. I've seen steam reviews with some sap complaining about a game with thousands of hours played. If a game doesn't grab me within a few hours I just accept the loss and move on. I don't play a lot so I have a list of potentially great games to play instead.
Some people want to get their moneys worth if they pay for something, out of principal they might keep playing.
I start pirating because of this.
I really hate that my brain force me to play a mediocre games and waste time because of sunk cost fallacy
Yeah but that's not logical. If you paid $10 for a sandwich that ended up being a pile of actual shit, you wouldn't eat it.
But to discover it's a pile of shit you had to have already ate it
Genshit
>Frogposter doesn’t understand the concept of burn out
If you don’t like the game, you would stop at 20 hours at maximum, not a 100 hours.
Was only 27 hours but yes, Witcher 2 sucked ass.
Kinda knew it the whole time though.
Which modern games even offer 100 hours of playtime anymore?
Roach route sucks, that was probably the issue
The entire gameplay (at least on PC sucked).

All these are good except for Dota
I put 80 hours into Borderlands 1 and I barely remember any of it. Always weirds me out when I see it.
Elite Dangerous was a really fun space screenshot game but I went 200 hours before finally giving up on it after realizing there was no "game" part to it.
