wish i could be a 1 series gamer

[who is ted danson?]

no not an xbawks 1 series

but the sort of dude that (pretty much only) plays 1 series of games. 

e.g. if only played Call of Doody, or Tomb Raider, life would be much simpler

does anyone else game or feel this way

In some ways I wish I was too. Gaming would be simpler, I have too many games in my backlog that I want to play. I'm currently pushing through the Yakuza series (thus my current username), after that I'm hoping to finish off Dynasty Warriors Origins.

I falsely claim I only play Titanfall. But I have played a lot of 2 over the decade:

I have so many small games I keep meaning to get to, meanwhile I'm spending billions of hours in Fallout 76.

I just wish games could hold my attention long enough to finish them. 

If I had to estimate, I'd say my console game completion rate is somewhere around 2-3%. 

If you looked at games I own that have held my attention long enough to reach 5+ hours, I'd say that rate would be around 20%.

If you included my Steam library, that would drop everything below 1% given I have so many games from bundles I've never even installed.

I dunno sometimes you've seen/played enough of a game.

Playing to the end is seldom worth it. Most games usually throws some cheap tricks and gimmicks at you a repetition of the same but more difficult.

If I only played tomb raider, I could spend the next 400 hours of gaming just 100%ing TR1-6

And then there is more tomb raider on the way

Its crazy

I strongly believe the main problem with gaming today is the overstuffing of content into games.

No single player game really needs 40+ hours of content when 30 hours of that is just filler. It's detrimental to telling a story and means that developers just add weaker and weaker content to meet an arbitrary time limit.

Give me single player games with tight 5-10 hours of gameplay. I'd even take a 2-3 hour game that contained branching paths and promoted replayability.

A lot of long games probably aren’t if you follow the main quest. But I don’t think anybody plays that way.

I never finished Skyrim. I don’t know what the main quest is. I spent many hours going on side quests and filling boxes in my house with weapons and items I’ll never use. At a point I decided it was enough and stopped.

Not going to fact check this. You can beat Zelda BOTW and TOTK quicker than any other 3D game in the series. The way play, it’s longer than three of those combined.

I spent 360+ hours on MGSV alone…

I have over 1000 hours in Fallout 4, and most of that would be building settlements.

On game length. I’m playing Mario Kart on my Switch 2 with the lady I’m seeing. I go to pee and she’s snooping at my play history.

“You played both Zelda games for 100 hours. Each?? That’s more than a full week of your life”

”No. Way more. It stops logging after 100 hours.”
