The truth is, in my case, I’ve seen myself in this situation more than once, starting a game with great enthusiasm, only to find myself trying to squeeze it in so much that it cost me a terrible time to finish. it. It’s not usual because I always tend to act the moment I notice that the game is starting to tire me, but I didn’t calculate well with some.

I could give many examples, but Shenmue is definitely one of them.. When I got to the first part and started playing it on my Dreamcast, I was so impressed with the environment and graphics that I wanted to explore every corner. I could just walk around the stage and take in all the details because deep inside I was able to immerse myself so much that I “felt like I was there”.

Eventually it became a problem, so much so I had to take a few breaks playing other titles like Resident Evil Code Veronica and Metropolis Street Racer to return to Shenmue with a vengeance. Yes, I managed to finish it, but it took longer than I would have initially imagined. The same thing didn’t happen to me with Shenmue II because I didn’t make the same mistake.

Another game I had trouble finishing was The Witcher 3. In this case, my mistake is similar to the one I made with the first Shenmue, I wanted to explore everything and covering all the side quests and my interest faded so quickly that I ended up sticking to the main story line to finish it at a fast pace. It’s one of the best games of its kind, but as a result, it’s clear that anything too much can get tiring, and that repeating shallow missions continuously for a long time is not a good idea.

Even with Cyberpunk 2077 I had moments of a certain exhaustion, although less pronounced, and the truth is that lately sandbox-type games that do nothing but repeat and repeat mechanics are for me, except in very specific cases further less interesting, but let’s get to grano, so what game cost me the most to complete? Well Shenmue IIIdon’t get me wrong i really liked the game but it has a very slow development and approach and i’m at a stage in life where i still enjoy a good story but i prefer this one when it’s more dynamic .

Now it’s your turn, which game cost you the most to complete? Read in the comments.
