do you find it difficult to get into games? I’ve got Epic Games and Steam Games libraries chock-full of classic top-tier games along with many other newer games like Stray or 2077, and a bunch of indie titles. I just can’t be bothered to download and install them, much less try to get into the characters and storylines. Used to be I couldn’t wait to see what happened in the story, what new items you could collect, what new worlds the developers had created. Not anymore. I return to playing the same franchise for a quick FPS match or three and then I’m done.
For me there are two barriers to new games I can’t get over, endless tutorials and not getting to the point.
The last few AAA games I tried had tutorials popping up after three hours of gameplay. Just let me play. I don’t need a short video explaining how to aim gun #13, I don’t need you to explain that your worthless crafting system. Just let me do stuff.
Plots are also bloated to the point of me not caring. Most games have 3-6 hours of actual plot but will pad out the game with an additional 12 hours of filler.
