Gamers will play the game for a few hours then move on to the next and that's a problem in the industry

>>723095769 (OP)
I've started playing games to completion a lot more recently

>>723095769 (OP)
Kek. Of course it's Ubisoft crying no one finishes their games they make shit games and literally paywall the fuckin story progression unless you do 200 tedious tasks

only problem for online games really

>journos cry when gamers are only sticking to older games and not playing the latest AAA slop
>journos cry when gamers play the latest AAA slop and don't finish it even if they already paid the money for it
Make up your goddamn minds already.

Games I played but haven't finished:

>ELDEN RING
>Witcher 3 (pirated)
>Assassins Creed Black Flag (pirated)
>Red Dead Redemption 2 (purchased twice)
>Space Marine 2
>Cyberpunk 2077

>>723095769 (OP)
Most games can't even be finished these days

>>723096798
I would also make a list but it's like 100+ games so no.

>>723095769 (OP)
i have the opposite problem
i finish games prematurely
how to fix it?

>>723096928
Have you tried thinking about your granny while playing

>posts a picture of a game that literally can't be finished

>>723095769 (OP)
Why would the industry consider that a problem? If you're constantly moving on to new games without finishing old ones, that's more money you're spending.

>>723095769 (OP)
Those aren't gamers, those are casuals.
They are the same people mindlessly shovelling the yearly garbage down their throats and giving money to companies like Ubisoft and EA.

I'm not all too into games that can be completed, which is why mine is so small.

I think in the Las 2 years the only games I actually finished were.

Vanity fair.
Alan Wake 2.
Gta3 (Took me over 20 years.)
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.
Silent hill 2 remake.
Dead rising remaster.
Evil West.
Dragon Age Veilguard.
Life is strange double exposure.
Project zero 4 and 5.
Paradise killer.
Alan Wake 1.
Fuga 1 and 2.
Like a dragon infinite wealth.
Eyuden chronicles.

I've started maybe 3 or 4 times that though.

>Gamers will play the game for a few hours then move on
that's what people do when a game is boring or just shit. i did the same with that tales of arise game 2 years ago.

Because the current AAA business model relies on selling an absurd amount of overpriced DLC for every game. Can't sell DLC to people who drop a game 5 hours in.
Also, given how devtimes have ballooned for AAA games, if people jump ship away from your latest game, you won't have a new game to draw them back with for another three to five years.

If you aren't consuming ALL of the propaganda 25 hours a day, every day, forever, you are LITERALLY a terrorist.

Does "finishing" open world slop really matter that much? If that's a problem then they would make games more dense, tighter, meaningful experiences, but we all know they're not. It just shows me that they're learning. Realizing oh it's only going to be more of this over and over until the end

>>723098003
You jest, but that is literally the crux of the issue.

>Fuga1 and 2

Buy the third one we need to see more kemonoshota suffering

I mean, I've been saying that for years.
What we need is lots and lots of cheap, digestible five hour games, and the occasional long game, not the other way around.
It's fucking absurd that a dozen 100+ hour games come out every year. No shit they're starting to under-perform,

>Prince of Persia: Sands of Time full playthrough - four and a half hours
Point made.

>>723097847
Yeah, everything wants to be a forever game now, even shit that really just a single player game still wants to sell you microtransactions, battle passes and DLCs that have better margins than the base game. Also serve you ads and shit.
That DLC are not as good value was always true, and it was a controversial invention from the start but now studios assume they will sell those to make their money back.

I do have some wall of shame games I got from bundles or on sale in a "I'm totally going to play it soon" way, but I think I finish most games I start, unless it turns out so terrible I refund it I guess.

>>723095769 (OP)
If devs aren't finishing their games then I'm not gonna either.

>>723096798
I also couldn’t finish RDR 2. The game was so slow and overwhelmed you with tasks that I would play for two hours and barely feel like I accomplished anything.

I have unironically never completed a game.

>>723095769 (OP)
Because every nu vidya is open world Ubislop with dogshit pacing

>>723095769 (OP)
Yes theres initial hooks and it was fun but something interupts us. And trying to get back into it is hard because we feel we've lost a lot of mechanical skill, lost focus on our ingame goals. I find myself gravitating back to my regular games to chill and take a break from games I do want to complete. For me ive got health problems as well which makes it harder to focus. But very often I will go back and finish it. For games like dark souls i might keep my original save file but start a new save until I feel like ive remembered mechanics again. Then I go back to my original save.

>>723098137
You assume I was merely jesting, but I'm well aware of how much worse things will become.

>>723095769 (OP)
Should have made a better game if you don't want me to get bored 6 hours in.

>>723101082
You should play a game where you search out fags who have to blog about their health wherever they go and stop them from doing that.
