My relationship with long videogames

@the_gamer_tavern

In the past I couldn't, for the life of me, commit myself to playing long games (i.e. 30+ hours) because I fell out of interest and dropped the game.

Lately I started playing two "long" (always keep in mind that this adjective is used by my perspective) games: Red Dead Redemption 2 and Mass Effect 1 (the legendary edition) and weirdly enough, seems like they're sticking with me because I'm alternating one or another throughout the gaming sessions.

I don't know if this pattern will be able to help me with other games as well or if it's just peculiar to those two specific games but I'm crossing my fingers ๐Ÿคž

Have any of you had a similar experience?

I've spent hours in countless RPGs, opening every chest, uncovering every small black spot on every map, pushing the "use/talk/open" button on every single pixel of every empty room, cave, dead end. All this just for these few moments of priceless satisfaction where I got my hands on something that I hadn't found before. "Before" meaning the 2-3 times I already completed that game, doing exactly so, to see every possible path to the ending credits. Call me what you want. Haha ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚.

@LynxounetFR @the_gamer_tavern

I'm not going to call you anything but I'm colouring myself envious of such commitment!

I remember doing the same when I was a kid (and, I daresay, with far less choices than nowadays) with a few titles, but that's gone. If I'm playing a game with multiple endings for example, I'll finish it once (if!) and then I'd look up the various endings upon the internet.

Maybe it's just a habit thing, maybe not

Everyone has his/her own thing that get him/her to play a specific game. I like to discover a lot of what the game has to offer and think about riddles, plan ahead strategies and learn about the lore. Some like challenge, PvP or collecting cosmetics. They are quizz on the internet that give profiles and even game recommendations, I found some to be quite accurate actually. At least about me.
