I would never finish a game 8 times longer than Witcher 3+exansions. I started once, got burned out and had to restart a year later to get to the end. Enjoyed it a lot but yeah. I don't need like 1600 hours of anything.

1600 hours is insane gameplay loop not content size imo, I have that amount of hours in a few game but they're either fighting games or ARPGs which are repetitive by nature.

OSRS has obliterated my sense of what constitutes a grind. I've communities for other games tearing their hair out over a 1/300 drop.

[–] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 9 months ago

Same. Someone's like, oh a 3% drop that's awful!

And I'm like, oh 3%? That's like, a tiny coin drop or random trash right?

that's hilarious, you should introduce them to the old DWH rate, and include that it was a mandatory grind for every iron lmao
