For some reason as soon as I get to the “end” of the game, I completely lose motivation to play. This happened with DOOM: Eternal, Sekiro, Bloodborne, Paper Mario TTYD, Cassette Beasts, Shovel Knight, Oblivion, Baldur’s Gate, God of War, Mass Effect… Pretty much every game I’ve ever played. It’s like the fun part was the journey, and I’ve seen everything the game has to offer, and I just don’t really enjoy the ending process. Feels like a formality at that point.
I rarely even try what I suspect to be the final boss battle.
Game devs without difficulty settings can fuck off and not take my money for the next chapter.
They figure I must have figured out all the mechanics by now, surely?
No motherfucker, I did not. I played this game in 7 minute bursts between real life kicking my ass.
I don’t know shit about what game techniques I was supposed to have learned back in chapter 2. Haha.
So when I get to the hard bit, I just turn the game off and never return to it. If I get there during the Steam refund window, I’ll ask for my money back, too.
Edit: Now a cozy game with a final cozy cinematic, I am fully down for.
