I don't understand the people who spend a hundred hours on a game to then give it a bad rating, calling it boring. Why don't they just quit much earlier and play Chrono Trigger or something?

With some games after 20+ hours the honeymoon phase is over. But I want to finish it so that all this time doesn't feel wasted. And there's hope that the game will get better. I mean everybody else loves it so it must be a great game right?

However, often it just feels like work and it makes the flaws of the game even more obvious. And I just end up despising it.

This is the best answer, players are invested after a certain point, but the realization that they don't like the game comes later in the process. The more you play the game you don't like the more you're frustrated with it and the more likely you are to give it a poor rating, especially when the things that are your biggest complaints feel like obvious bug fixes that should have already happened, but continue to exist.
