I can count on one hand* the number of games I have actually finished over the 30yrs I have been gaming. I just have always thought of the ones that keep me going until the very end as exceptional.

*possibly a slight exaggeration, but not by much

I've had this issue with a lot of games that have an extensive leveling system, especially several Shin Megami Tensei/Atlus games or games with a lot of optional sidequests. My problem is that I always want to still level up (reach a certain level, get certain skills maxed etc.) or complete some more side missions before the endgame and then I either get bored or burnt out and just... stop playing. And then I think, months later "oh hey, I could finally finish that game" and try to but fail miserably because I forgot half the game mechanics and the endgame content is too hard for someone who forgot the controls lol

[(Anonymous)]

YES. I do exactly this too.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. I've avoided those kind of games for a while now and find I do actually finish most games. I don't even mind grinding for some games, it's just that I have a tiring job and other life obligations to attend to... I don't have time to spend hours leveling and collecting to build characters.

Oh, yeah, my partner does this constantly with games and TV shows, though not books. If we're watching something together I have to be Last Episode police!

This is me with games, books, and tv shows... with almost anything. I'm also not sure why, especially when I've been enjoying it a lot. It's almost comical when I look at my goodreads progression and almost every book is literally 50%.

I have been trying to make the effort, but also, it's all entertainment anyway, not reason to force it.

I tend to get to a final boss that's supposed to be really hard and either decide I want to super-grind before facing them only to get distracted by a new game or I try to fight the boss and continuously lose so I decide to super-grind and see above happens again. I don't mind difficult games but when they reach frustration level or the level scaling isn't good I'm more likely to drop it. One of the big ones I remember was Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and that last Neverland fight with the fucking awful flight mechanic, I set it aside and never picked it up again.

[(Anonymous)]

I do this too and thought it was just me, but after being around video game fandoms for a while it seems this is weirdly common.

[(Anonymous)]

I've done this with shows. Took me years to watch the last 3 episodes of The Sopranos. Haven't watched the last episode of Succession yet.

[(Anonymous)]

Seems to me you may not want the game to end. I'm having the same issues with some games like TOTK for example because I don't find the ending interesting or satisfying. As cliché as it sounds the journey to get there is the fun part.
