Age 10

Yeah, this. I just replayed the same games again and again when I was younger, and eventually started to want to 100% games because I wanted to "see all of a game's content". Eventually it just became a habit that was hard to break, but now that I'm working all the time, it's getting easier to break. Only bad thing is I got into playing games in Japanese seven years ago when I was a NEET and learning the language, but sometimes I wonder why I bother playing games in Nip now since it takes longer even if I do read much faster than I used to. Though that could also partially be because I translate for a living. I still 100% some games though, usually older ones that don't take long/can be sped up with emulators, or certain newer ones that won't take two months.

>30 next month
>the last game I I00% was Wario Land 2

That and Super Mario Odyssey were the games that started to break my completionist habit.

>dont give a shit about games anymore just in for the shitposting

Honestly I won't even start a game if I think it's going to take more than 10 hours to beat

I'm just replayed games a lot before, and around 25 I started to play a lot of games I missed. 5 years later I'm still doing it, I have so many fucking long games on my list. I just want to finish them all and get back to just playing whatever games with little to none on my list so it doesn't matter if they're 5 hours or 100 hours.

Now I only 100% games so I'll never have reason to play them again

I miss replaying games, but at the same time a lot of games I play anymore I'm not sure I'll ever replay again. Just played Parasite Even finally and I doubt I'll ever play that game again, I didn't see what people liked so much about it. DQ is a series I got into four years ago though and I've been wanting to replay most of them.

Do you give yourself a beer after 100%, why does it matter?

Why bother 100%ing a game if you're tired of it/would like to play something else?

I haven't had a beer in 9 years I think. I keep forgetting alcohol exists.

Also picked up Parasite Eve a few years back. It really didn't hold up.

This is a good point. I used to think like this all the time when I was very young. During my teens I started wanting to 100% many games, and I got some got enjoyment from that, there's some fun things I wouldn't have found if I didn't try to 100% games, and I appreciated GTA III and VC even more after 100%ing them (SA was just tiring to 100% though even when I had nothing to do with my days), and those memories still try to convince me to try to complete games so I don't miss out on the fun little things, but it's becoming harder.

Yeah I wondered if I just played it too late. I can still have a lot of fun even with really old games. DQ III was a blast for me a few years ago, but yeah, it feels like time is just worse for some games than it is others.

>Age literally whatever
>95% games to experience the cool and different shit but not subject myself to finding every feather or doing every stunt, because games should be fun, not a goddamn chore

Barely play any video games anymore besides on plane rides

>be 30
>go work
>hit the gym
>clean and do laundry after dinner, maybe have a podcast on as i tidy up my apartment
>calls from work
>”hey user, we’re sending you to a business trip to Korea/Japan/Australia/Guam”

I can't tell if the issue is if I'm just overly reductive, or if life is so bland that you have to trick yourself into thinking there's more to it
