Anon do you play a single game fully through completion or do you switch up every often to avoid burnout?

>>720060743 (OP)
I complete 25% of it and then I go back to fortnite

>Anon do you play a single game fully through completion
As in 100%? No, but I have beaten quite a few games.
>or do you switch up every often to avoid burnout?
What I do most of the time is pick up a game, play it religiously for about a week, drop it from burnout, then a few weeks-1-2 months later I pick it back up again; and since as a result I don't know what to do; I forget about it again and the cycle repeats until I either finally beat the game or completely abandon it.

Depends on the game(s). If it's something like Persona, I'd play in smaller segments and mix it up with another game. With something like Hollow Knight, I'll play nothing else, not because I love the game but because my goldfish brain would forget what I was doing.

It's an ancient spell passed down from generation to generation. I shan't tell you it.

I can't even play a game for an hour anymore. It just feels like a waste of time when I have to go to work in another few hours. I don't know how employed people are supposed to enjoy something like Persona.

This usually for me, any game that's going to take a bit to at least complete the main campaign I tend to switch to shorter ones that don't ask for much, so I don't get burned out

I bet $100 you spend at least an hour a day doomscrolling.

>>720060743 (OP)
Depends on the game. If it’s really long I’ll break it up with something shorter if I feel a little burnt out.

>>720060743 (OP)
I moslty emulate, so even 100% is often short, so I usually go until completion.

>>720060743 (OP)
I binge great games and only play a couple hours of any other game

>>720064509
Doomscrolling requires no commitment on my part and it keeps me updated on the news of how the world is falling apart around me. Video games force me to sit down for an hour or more just to get past 1 section. JRPGs and games like BotW are the worst because they take hundreds of hours to beat, which means with my schedule I'll go gray before I ever beat them.

>>720060743 (OP)
Depends on the game but most of the time I switch up because I want to refresh my brain on a bunch of games I haven't played in a while. Sometimes I hyperfocus on a game while other times I get into playing some go to games like Monster Hunter or Mario Kart World.

I can't play the same game for more than an hour or so before my brain just wants to stop and do something else. So, multiple games yeah.

Most of the single player games I play can be beat in a few hours or less, so I usually just finish them. I've never been able to find any interest in single player games that last 20 hours.

employed people don't play games like persona because they're adults who peaked in high school and wish they could have experienced a social life like that.

Get to last dungeon and then stop playing for most rpgs

Pro tip: being bombarded with every single new outrage that happens doesn't make you a well-informed individual; It makes you neurotic and miserable.
Get an RSS feed or something to show you what's worthwhile and ignore the rest. Then you'll have time for something more fulfilling like RPGs.

>>720060743 (OP)
switch up but i really wish i wouldn't do that because i forget a lot of the experience by the time i get back to it

I switch up with games which don't have a continuity.
Example with the Wii: playing Xenoblade Chronicles and switching to Smash Brawl and Mario Kart Wii from time to time. But not to Donkey Kong Country Returns.
