I know the feeling, happened to me with Elden Ring.

With BG3 I also had some occasions where it felt difficult to pick up again, especially when I had to do plenty of inventory and party micromanagement and figure out where to go next. It’s a game that especially in earlier stages didn’t feel like something you can easily pick up again, play a little, and drop again whenever you want. There’s too much going on at times. It also didn’t help me that I couldn’t care for the story or for companions early on. But it does get better and easier as you become better at party and inventory management, and is often saved by the fact that the moment to moment dialogue and gameplay are stellar.

I did it. I finally did it! It’s been over a year since I started this game. Over a year! As a grown ass man I don’t have the time or the motivation to play video games that often. But this one I just couldn’t put down for long. Not for the story, I thought the story was super contrived and couldn’t care less for its grand narrative. But the dialogue, the moment to moment voice acting, the companions, the freedom of choice, the mature themes, the gameplay… Nearly 300 hours of playtime later, I have finally finished my completionist dark urge playthrough. I have never spent so long on any video game ever! And after the credits rolled I still went online looking for more bg3-related content. I was missing shadowheart and the bittersweet mindflayer ending left me wanting more shadowbae, more sequels, more… everything really. Not a perfect game, I felt that in some ways they bit off more than they could chew and at times it showed. But omg, it did hold my interest longer than anything ever! I guess I wanted to tell someone. And nobody I know personally would care enough. So thank you for reading this :)

Underrated benefit of lemmy is like minded people will tend to join the same instances and if I don't want to interact with those groups I can just filter the whole instance. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world
Remedy Has Recouped 'Most' of the Development and Marketing Expenses for Alan Wake 2 in c/games@lemmy.world

Hey thanks, both AW1 and Control are games I might pick up again. Didn’t hate them, they just didn’t really hook me.

I found the pacing of the first few chapters in the first Alan Wake sublime, in terms of storytelling. The gameplay frustrated me on the other hand, became quickly monotonous and tedious for me. So I only played like a third of the game, much as I liked the story and was curious to see where it went. Then Control I was left completely unmoved by. So I’ve been hesitating to take up the second Alan Wake, basically because I didn’t much like the first iteration, or Control, which I’ve heard is somehow connected. Maybe I’m missing out. Or maybe these games appeal only to a certain audience.

I guess apple just missed the boat there. I don’t know that they will ever catch up on AI.

Well looks like the great Reddit exodus wasn’t so great after all and Reddit more than made up for it. Financially at least, things are looking up for them. I kinda really wish it weren’t so… but at least some of us got to know Lemmy as a consequence.
