I bought a PS4 last year and Bloodborne. I loved it and also played through New Game+. I then decided to try the Souls games. I stopped Dark Souls 1 after about 30 hours in because I had no idea where to go, I found the weapon system too complicated, and I hated that armor weight affected movement. I gave Dark Souls 2 maybe 7 hours, but I hated the area design and felt like the difficulty ramped up way too quickly. Yes, I get they're hard games, but putting a boss like the Pursuer that early in the game was stupid. I've played Dark Souls 3 for maybe an hour and I'm enjoying it so far. I need to give it more time.
I downloaded KOTOR on Steam for like 3 bucks and hated the controls. Played it for about 45 seconds when I realized I couldn't change it to straight up keyboard controls without downloading a bunch of shit. That pissed me off so I uninstalled.
I played Fable Anniversary Edition (for $3) for maybe 10 minutes until I found the game wouldn't let me reverse pitch the camera the way I wanted. There's no excuse for a game to NOT have this option anytime beyond 2002.
I bought Wind Waker HD because I never finished the original Wind Waker (it was stolen from me years ago), but I got so damn bored with sailing around all the time that I gave up on it. I didn't find it hard; just boring.
I bought the Bayonetta 1 / 2 package for Wii U and played about 1/3 of Bayonetta 1, found it to be too ridiculous and sloppy, and gave up.
And just today, after purchasing it just a few weeks ago, I gave up on Xenoblade Chronicles 3D because I found the combat system to be way too complicated far too early into the game. It's such a jumbled mess that doesn't give you any time to think, and I can't stand it.
I'm done dealing with frustrating bullshit, and I'm done feeling guilty about stuff like this.
It took me 34 years to do this, and I think part of the reason I felt that I had to get every drop out of every game was because I came from pretty modest means growing up, and I had to earn my own money basically from age 10 onward. Now I make good money and have way less time to game, so I cannot be a tryhard completionist with "something to prove" any longer. I need this to be time for fun. If it's not fun, there's no point.
I feel like a huge burden has been lifted off my shoulders. If anyone else ever suffers from feelings like this, just let them go. Nobody gives a shit if you don't beat a game. (Yes, Captain Obvious here.)
I know this was dumb but I had to type it out somewhere. I figured a forum for my favorite game of all time (PSO) would be the best place.
