Game shits the bed halfway through

I must compulsively explore everything, loot everything, steal everything, speak to everyone and finish every side quest, so I've never actually finished Witcher 3 since it's so big.
I like the game, love the designs and the world, but I just get burned out on it every time I try tackling it.

Thats a lot of projection for someone who’s not even going to give a single example

Never thought about it that way before but now that you mention it, I guess that's why they rate Pokémon shit so highly still. The beginning is always decent it's just everything mid, late, and postgame that's shit as they rushed for a deadline no one but them wanted a game for if it wasn't going to be done right and would be missing 94% of the content.

This is me with Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. I’ve been 100%ing each island one by one for the last 2 years. I’m 80 hours in but I get burned out every so often

cast rain

How the fuck did some many people on this board get filtered by this shit? just put the fire out nigga

I play the same way and managed to get through Witcher 3 and all DLC. It took me 171.9 hours. I spent almost a month playing nothing but Witcher. Doubt I'll ever touch the game again.

The lizard embassy was worse desu

>getting filtered by fun
Nasty pig. This game is too good for you

Yeah, that's an even better example. No way I'll ever finish it.
I know I could just ignore the filler shit, but I can't. It will bother me if I don't explore everything.

Why would you put yourself through that?

only if you let the blobs touch it

Uncharted 2 - Train Scene
Metal Gear Solid 4 - Chapter 1-1
The Last of Us - Sarah's Death
Persona 5 - Kamoshida Palace
Zelda BOTW - Great Plateau
Red Dead Redemption 2 - Prologue
Metal Gear Solid 5 - Hospital Level
Final Fantasy VII - Midgar

Just stack fire res my man.

I tried that with Oblivion. It was a great time but at some point I realized I definitely wasn't doing all that.

It can be cozy at times. I just did a Morrowind 100% run while watching regular show

Valkyria Chronicles big fucking tank filtered me HARD

Over half these games are over 10 years old and red dead actually does peak half way through though not where you claim (in San Denis)

Wasnt this quest optional? You can totally skip on it

I was able to do it with morrowind but not with skyrim, yet to play oblivion myself
it helps that morrowind's main quest is way my interesting than skyrim, alduin is a boring, boring ass villain

You can also tell games that weren't given the level of acclaim that they eventually got because Journalists never finished them when they came out, further proving this point that games are front-loaded to pander towards them.

doom losing goty to mk really floored me when I first learned that happened
the first mk is pretty ass and really only had shock value going for it, which Doom not only had alongside a good campaign and the first deathmatch multiplayer and altogether holds up very well today

its not that the fight is hard, its just an absolute fuck of an idea, theres so much rng involved that ultimately just decides how many resources you consume and wether or not the sourcerer lives

the fight takes an hour to complete for little to no reward, with the worst most annoying enemies in the game that get 10 free turns when they en masse, cant put out the fire because somehow oil is cursed and the blobs teleport everywhere,

this is one of the easiest fights in the game, especially if you have a water mage, but also the absolute worst and a complete waste of everyone's time

its even more terrible considering the fights right before it where cool, even plot wise, but now you have to go find a complete stranger and save him from nonsensical enemies that for some fucking reason are related to the void, and the whole encounter takes an hour or more because theres dozens of them and they keep healing due to unchangeable terrain

it didnt filter me, it just made me fucking despise that part of the game, and realize the encounters got worse as it went on

the worst encounters are where the enemies are spawned into the arena you walk into with absolutely no plot explanation or reason for them to be there, and more keep coming out of nowhere as well. I got to the final island in arx and the first encounter i see is a massive squad of voidfucked bugcunt deep anal motherfuckhueg beastlord that spawn without any explanation, out of the ground or whatever, i cant remember, i was so done with the shitty fights that i just quit the game right then and there

That's stupid nighttime mission where you get injured for me

ive tried like three times to get into OS2 but I never got off the starting island, it just lacks that something the first one had, and the armour system is buttfuck retarded.

Final Fantasy VII picks up after Midgar?

I never even went to High Hrothgar in Skyrim.
Had a better time playing as a non-dovahkin random hero guy finding demonic artifacts and shit. no dragon interruptions, just comfy.

>Final Fantasy VI - Lost GOTY to Donkey Kong Country
>Super Metroid - Lost GOTY to Donkey Kong Country

>Wind Waker - Lost GOTY to Wind Waker
