What? What Remains of Edith Finch only takes a few hours start to finish. You must have pretty much given up instantly on reaching the forest because that section doesn't take long at all. (1067)
Yep, hence the title (-89)

Honestly that is hilarious OP. The two branching paths are literally just for an achievement, it makes no difference which you take, you don't even need to enter the forest and if you do, going through the forest takes maybe 30 seconds? A minute tops. This is the equivalent of booting up Mario Bros, seeing the first jump and thinking "geez that looks like a lot of hassle..." and quitting. (3903)

Not really immediately but I finished the story in Diablo 4 and felt no desire to keep going. The story was pretty good better than the prequels. But man that end game on release was abysmal. It killed my interest in the game and Diablo has always been about end game grind so I feel it counts. (-1)

The first few times I tried playing FF7 I turned it the frick off because the opening scene was like a half goddarn hour

I legitimately don't understand all the love FF gets. The games look terribly boring.
At one point a few of my friends were into FF14 (the MMO one) and I watched some of them quest. There's precious little combat, and the combat in the game looks like you could do it with your eyes closed. Most of the quests were just running back and forth between towns talking to people.
There was another one (maybe FF9?) that I watched one of them play. It was generic turn-based slop. No idea how people play those turn-based RPGs. There wasn't really a strategy and you seemed to spend most of your time either (a) watching animations or (b) navigating menus.

In those cases I'd probably play some civ 2, which can also burn hours of your time, but at least has some component of strategy to it.

It's because theres not really anything like it made by people who give a shit, so it gets a pass. The concept of "compelling characters in a very long epic style story" was still a novelty in vidya. Plus they had huge play for dollar values and relatively good mechanical design for the massive duration.
FFXIII killed the franchise by wasting everyone's time and demonstrating they didnt give a shit anymore. Then 15 and 16 were great concepts that weirdly turned into flaming dumpster fires at the halfway mark.

JRPGs relegate any strategy to boss fights only for the most part. Which you can ovecome by grinding levels which most kids are r-slurred and choose the latter.
People like these games for the characters and story.

You're calling me r-slurred bc I thought the little combat that there was in FF14 was simplistic?

All MMO combat is simplistic.
I can only assume you have no idea how an MMO works based on how stupid your comment was.
Doing group dungeons/bosses is the only real gameplay loop with any challenge and you are out here complaining your friends are doing fetch quests by choice.

I watched them do some dungeons and they were the same.

Two games that are absolutely dogshit which reddit loves are spec ops the line and prey 2017.
Spec ops is baby's first war critique story because g*mers don't read literature or watch anything that's not capeshit related.
Mission 2 starts with you sneaking up to two soldiers that are having a talk on a balcony, and I'm thinking 'no way am I doming two guys from behind' so I kept listening to their dialogue, I knew I'd have to kill them eventually but I did not want to at that moment, maybe my character will say something. As soon as they finished their talk, they 180-ed and started shooting me, from that point onward I mowed everything in front of me without a 2nd thought.
White phosporus I've seen from a mile away as well but the game did not let me advance without bombing the civies.
Not to mention it's the game redditors unironically defend with the line 'developers purposely made it control like shit because they wanted you to not have fun playing it', lol and lmao.
HUGE PLUS:
In one of the early missions soldiers are shooting me from everywhere and suddenly someone is running into me from a narrow corridor, I instinctively shot and it turned out to be a civvie running away from the soldiers shooting.
That got a reaction out of me, 'did I really just do that?', it was very well done, no red screen, no scolding message, just a dead civilian because of a panic shot.
Also there's a scene where a mob is trying to lynch you after hanging your buddy off a pole, I started blasting them because they're advancing towards me and they just hanged my buddy, turns out I could have shot a few rounds into the air and they would have ran away
The rest of the game is just developers eating shit because you dared to buy their game and actually play it.
Prey 2017 was just boring after a very good start, I stopped playing it after I called the ending two or three hours in.
Almost no human npc in sight, whole storybuilding is spread throughout notes you find in random places and one of them conveniently goes 'hey, wouldn't it be cool if mimics could mimick humans', and I was like 'yea, no way this isn't the twist' so I googled it and it was, stopped playing there.
But I didn't find the game particularly interesting, I expected something more like dishonored.

Spec Ops The Line isn't even a war critique story. It's a criticism of a very specific style of military shooter from 2008-2013 but redditors have never experienced anything more complex than capeshit and think it's criticising war. The setting and plot is crafted specially to not resemble any actual military action and it primarily exists of taking military shooter plot points and setpieces and then going "look how psychotic this would actually be" which it does well. The Wily Pete scene isn't meant to make you go "war is bad :(" but "isn't it fricked up how death from above segments are fun interludes we never see the aftermath of".

Absolutely. It's just that they had such a slam dunk with Vice City (I cant remember if SoE was before or after San Andreas) and despite the map being small Vice City felt incredibly open and full.
The hype around SoE was intense and we all fully expected a game with a city that felt like GTA. The levels and gameplay felt phoned in though

I'm sorry but this had me do a double take. Diablo 4's story was a mess. The whole thing can be summed up as "Chase villain to location A.

Side note: turns out, I'm not the only one who quit the game on this level. Based on achievements and comments, many left the game at this level. Gee, wonder why. /sFoamstars.

All challenge comes from fricking stat bloat on enemies which still isn't hard because the mechanics are shit. Anything outside of the "crazy hard" difficulties are like fighting ants that can't even hurt you.Oh and to top it off it has that generic garbage butt "chosen one" story line shit.
