If I don't like something, I'll stop playing it.

Hence, i have agency.

In the past, I had to finish everything.

 

[ozz ex machina]

It's called being a grown up.

The whole "completionist" mentality in videogames I thankfully have never had.

 

[Ceallach]

Ok

 

[Fbh]

Yeah I used to force myself to finish games even when I was no longer having fun with them.

Now though

 

[nemiroff]

Been doing that for a quite some time. And yeah, it's a real eyeopener if you've discovered "this newfound freedom" after having been unknowingly bound. I also do it with games overly addictive.

In the book world, they call this "DNF'ing" a book. DNF = Did not finish.

I do that all the time with books, videos, and games.

I read once that only about 20% of readers finish a book. I think the percentage is similar for games.

Wait till you get to the final phase, where you can see a game is just more of the same before launch and you simply don't play it all.

The money and time ive saved to do other stuff. Nothing of value was lost for not playing ac shadows this year if anything my life is better for it

 

[RCX]

I'm getting better at it. I've put down more games this year than I would have in the past.

Time is the only currency that truly matters. Just want to be careful that I still give the games I play a fair shake before dropping them

 

[winjer]

Sometimes, it's just the best thing to do.

 

[Spyxos]

Very rarely now i finish games that i dont like.

 

[protonion]

Same here combined with extreme pickiness.

-less money spent
-zero backlog
-quality gaming

It is awesome.
