Decided to beat Xenoblade finally... I'm 40 hours in so far so I wager I'll be done around July.

Imagine actually finishing a game.

was about to hand out a probation for this, but he's right, drat it. you never finish a game, not truly; you just give up on it. as the legendary panenkoek2012 has demonstrated, there is always more to discover within a game. great words of wisdom from the epic cspam guy.

It was more of a self-own but I guess it just comes off as bad zaniness. I have a chronic problem of leaving games like 80% in.

Err... thank you for recognizing my wisdom.

you should finish them

I am actually close to beating Banjo Kazooie. A game I nearly beat and then quit as a young lad.

simply simon it sounds like from your repeated posting you don't actually enjoy the video games you are playing. if you are playing a game and it is not fun or rewarding, have you considered just playing a different one?

I follow this philosophy and it is why I cannot actually post in this thread.

I shelved Yakuza 0. I'm a video games criminal.

Maybe I'll pick it up again today. I didn't dislike it, but I had just gotten a Series S and I had not had a non-Nintendo console since the PS3/360 days so there was a whole world of shiny doodads available to me on Game Pass.

Just 100% the Maneater original content. Gonna do that DLC.

Good stuff. I enjoy it a lot but the 7/10 rating it gets in a lot of places is about right. Concept is interesting and silly and the gameplay loop can be fun. But most of it is a pretty shallow collectathon with some very mild upgrade/level up mechanics. Still plenty of fun though if you wanna blow about 8-10 hours on being a bad rear end shark.

I also think the difficulty curve is weird as you're basically powerless against predators for the first 1/4th or so of the game and then you very quickly become an unstoppable killing machine. I think only 2 or 3 encounters gave me any real issue at all after I hit the "adult" stage of life. I'm not usually good at games either so it could possibly be even easier for a lot of you folks.
