Same for the longest time - I just didn't have patience for long games until Baldurs Gate 3 which grabbed me because of the story and characters. Dragon Age Veilguard (not as long as BG3 but still 80+ hours if you do the side quests) is the same.
If a game is long and repetitive, filled with fetch quests and not much plot I lose interest quickly, but a well-crafted story will keep me hooked.
I still like to play in short sessions, a couple hours at a time, which helps break the long games up into "chapters" and make them feel less like a slog.
@therivercrow @innkeeper @the_gamer_tavern Fetch quests- this is exactly it! I loved Dying Light for a long time but the game quickly became fetch this, fetch that, make me a cuppa tea, give this guy a foot rub etc etc and it just turned me right off the game faster than I picked it up, which is a real shame.
@harrybo @innkeeper @the_gamer_tavern
yeah, there was a real trend a few years ago of padding rpgs out with pointless busy-quests to make the game seem bigger than it needed to be. I think that's starting to be less of a thing which is nice. I'd rather play a 40 hour well told narrative than 100 hours of "go and find me 10 doohickeys".

I think this is why The Last of Us really hits me in the feels and will live eternally in my heart. That game is pure narrative and story to get invested in.
@therivercrow @the_gamer_tavern I should try playing again (but not exclusively ) Baldur's Gate 3 and see if that's the case, it's a game I started playing several times and every time managed to drop off from ๐
@innkeeper @the_gamer_tavern
It's a big game and can get overwhelming, so I definitely recommend breaking it up into small achievable things. When your characters need a long rest, take one yourself!
But it is soooooo good though!
