I'll just do all the sidequest and collectables I'm in act 2 of red dead 2 and it's been three years
I forget exactly where I heard it and the examples given, but the quote stuck with me. Given the chance, gamers will optimize the fun out of a game. It's a big game design problem.
I play games in like pushes. I'll put in a lot of hours for like a week or two and then pause for a month to six months.
The only game I ever beat was Fallout New Vegas. I'm not even talking about 100%, but simply completing the main storyline. Ever. I just get too hung up on side questing until I don't like the game.
I have extremely low tolerance on mindless grind. If I have to repeat x thing y times to have a chance at getting z, I am not gonna bother. I don't mind grind if it evolves - new mechanics, new variables, new tools, all that stuff. But just grind? Fuck off.
I like playing Warframe. It's kinda grindy, so I don't have much and mostly play doing what I like and collecting stuff during it. Once decided to actually get certain armor as chances were high, so it shouldn't take long.
It didn't. I think it took 6h. Got fed up with the game for half a year after that anyway. Worst part of it was that feeling of achievement was minimal compared to tiredeness I felt.
Im feeling this trying to find a crow sourced on BL4. Why the fuck would you ever make a drop rate so low that players need to invest hours if not days grinding for it? Worse, a DEDICATED drop that only comes from one source, locking you into the exact same fight over and over again?
It's Divinity Original Sins 2 for me. Some side quests are interesting but it is getting cumbersome and a chore for me because getting to some of those side quests are awkward, like I have to teleport my entire team across large crevasses one by one. I think I will just go straight to finishing the main quests and my companions'. I have a backlog of games I need to clear up myself!
thats RS for you, the grindiest game out there. they made it grindier now.
I've stopped enjoying games lately but it's a symptom of my need for socialization than grinding the game. The weeks i've been more social i've wanted to olay a bit after
Maybe capitalism has broken your idea of what success and 'doing' is, and you need some fucking therapy.
