Probably, especially if you count a gap of years. ParanoidObsessive posted... Not really, because any game I really dislike or have trouble with first time through isn't a game that's likely to get a second playthrough from me. We live in a world with too many books, movies, shows, online videos, games, and other distractions that are constantly demanding my time. I don't have the time or the patience to devote to something that is actively annoying me on the off-chance that it might somehow miraculously turn into something I like eventually. That's a now problem. How about before? ParanoidObsessive posted... It's the same reason why I get absolutely no enjoyment out of "frustration gaming" any more. ie, games like Dark Souls where the entire design philosophy is to fail 99 times so the 1 time you succeed feels so good based on the sudden release of all the frustration you've built up. I sometimes get trapped in either a sunk cost fallacy regarding certain frustrating gameplay or it's just something I want to see through for some unfathomable reason. ParanoidObsessive posted... I've got stacks of books, DVDs, and games I bought at some point and never got around to reading/watching/playing. I have a sinking suspicion that I'll never get through more than a quarter of everything I own, even if I stopped buying things as often as I have in recent years (which is less often than in the past). I just don't have motivation to start things, particularly if it's something I want to binge and know I can't (Legend of Korra being a great example) --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:929736793] in Valley of ...
