I feel like the only person who sticks out and finished a majority of the games that I play, I think I've only dropped like 5 games in the past 10 years and even then I usually come back to them years later to give them another shot. I've played games for hours in hopes they get fun and most of the time I'm rewarded. I always stick with it no matter what.
I didn't enjoy Iconoclasts until I was 9 hours in, didn't enjoy the original Quake until I was on the 3rd episode, didn't enjoy the Souls series (playing 3 games and dropping each of them several hours in) until I played Elden Ring and I returned to all of them to beat them, didn't enjoy Donkey Kong Country until I played 2, didn't enjoy Monkey Island until I reached the island, didn't enjoy Gunvalkyrie until 4 hours in, didn't enjoy Wonderful 101 until Tables Turns played for the first time, didn't enjoy Devil May Cry until I played 3 etc.
I always give games a chance, no matter what and I feel more people should too even if it's a fucking pain for half of the runtime, you never know when something might grab you right at the end. I fucking love Iconoclasts, Demons Souls, Monkey Island, Donkey Kong Country 2, Devil May Cry 1 and Wonderful 101 after ACTUALLY giving them a shot despite disliking them for a long time while playing.
I will say that sometimes it doesn't work out, I didn't like Okami after 20 hours and gave up the playthrough but it's still installed on my PS3 waiting for me to return to it and I will. I never completely write off games that I dropped unless I really found no enjoyment out of them.
I know people would want to use their time more efficiently sometimes and don't wanna risk it on a shitty game for 20 hours but I've been surprised so many times that I never want to drop things anymore unless it's a 50 hour experience that I'm feeling nothing for by hour 30.
