[saku]

that's what the save button is for.

[rivia]

pretty much.

[childings.livejournal.com]

Yeah but then you come back to a game half a year later and have no idea what you were even doing. This can be bad for a lot of games, RPGs and such (especially non-linear RPGs or ones with a lot of different sidequests)

this is the #1 reason i have never finished chrono cross. i've restarted like 3 times now, but i always forget what the fuck i was doing.

well, that and the shit annoying level up system. but mostly the time between when i play.

[(Anonymous)]

That's me. I started Skyrim, got distracted, and now what? I guess I'll start again. Designing my character was fun, so why not.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Save button doesn't help much when the entire game and its storyline still takes a week or a month or more to finish.
Not to mention all the little sidequests and such.
I don't even want to touch Skyrim, for that reason.

It's just overwhelming and starts bordering the lines of being a chore, instead of fun.

Re: OP

I completely understand that. I'm still struggling with finishing Dragon Age: Origins. It's the curse of people who like story in their gaming.

But that said, may I make recommendations?

Bastion. May take 12-15 hours, tops. I know people who finished it in 4-5 hours. Amazing story and beyond amazing soundtrack; XBox or PC.

Limbo. Same time frame. Couldn't finish it, not due to lack of time, but because it scared the stuffing out of me. Deeply, deeply atmospheric.

Braid. Haven't played this yet, but it gets great reviews, is a platformer so it's stage-based, and apparently not very long.

Portal. I know people who've finished it in 4 hours, and if you haven't played it, you're missing out on some of the funniest black comedy ever. XBox and PC both. Portal II is much longer, but Portal is self-contained.

Re: OP

Excellent recommendations! Might I add some?

JOURNEY. Two hours tops. If you have a PS3, it's an absolute must-play. In fact, it's a must-play even if you don't have a PS3. Just do whatever you can to get yourself to this game. Trust me, it's worth it. Two of the most beautiful, moving, emotional hours you've ever had experiencing a work of art.

FLOWER, while you're at it, is another great entry by thatgamecompany. Absolutely breathtaking game. It's a Wordsworthian poem in videogame form.

ICO and SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS. Both beautiful little masterpieces. ICO is roughly 7-8 hours, SotC is around 12.

SILENT HILL 2. If you're up for a scare, that is. Easily some of the best storytelling I've ever seen in a videogame. It doesn't JUST frighten the pants off you -- the entire game is drenched in torment, tragedy, and disturbing symbolism. A difficult experience, but a masterpiece. Definitely worth the nightmares.

TO THE MOON. Absolutely beautiful. Touching, emotional story, charmingly nostalgic music and visuals. You will weep buckets.

OP, you don't need to force yourself through colossal RPGs with hours and hours of level-grinding. If you search for them, you'll find amazingly powerful little games that don't dilute themselves by dragging it out with pointlessness. Hopefully you enjoy some of these recs! :)

Yep
