Why don't you finish your games, user? Why do you buy them?

I've been going through the series slowly. Up to the end of Cold Steel I, but am taking a break due to illness.

Steam has such awful achievement rates because people buy games on sale, launch them for 5 minutes then go back to TF2 and Dota

I'm 90% certain that shit is bugged, i vaguely recall seeing one game where less people had the first achievement you got in the game than the second achievement.

>Why don't you finish your games
Good question, I started many games over the last years but barely finished any.

>Why do you buy them?
B-but it's on sale...

>can softlock if you misuse consumables
>have to level grind to skip maybe one or two hits
>no matter what you do you’re stuck praying the boss doesn’t hit you
It’s infamous for a good reason but it’s actually shit game design. You don’t have any of the tools to handle it like you would in the rest of the game, even immediately after the prologue.

I've completed games that got numbers close to 10% for those global stats. I guess that steam sales inflate these pretty hard

If I remember right, this game has only five chapters total, and "Chapter 1" is the second chapter (after the Prologue)
So, 30% of players making it 40% through the game. Low, for sure, but not unbelievable especially for a pretty long and story-heavy game.

Do I need to play Trails in the Sky series to appreciate and understand Coldsteel?

What makes you think there's anything to appreciate or understand in CS?

Adult life nowdays is a mess, a few years ago it was easy to get some time to spare on time consuming games. Hell I was 21 when I completed new vegas for the first time and did playing it within a hour. Now I get interrupted all the time, so I rather play something with less time requirements, pvp game mostly.

I always notice this shit, but when I plaq I'll nñ

No. You'll miss a few references here and there - things like "Oh, hey, I recognize this land.... its the land of those nobles turned sky pirates(Trails) who lost their land to a swindler who got arrested(Azure)" or character development, like the prince who you first meet in prison. Cold Steel is a valid starting point

>get interrupted in single player
>pause, or if it's gonna take a while, save and quit
>get interrupted in multiplayer
>get banned for being AFK
I don't get it user.

a-user?

Make games $100 a pop and never go on sale so I'd only buy games I want to play instead of spending $5 here and there to buy games that I'll never play

Because most people are normal with lives and don't autistically focus on finishing one video game

glorified vn

VNs are way better than JRPGs in general

You'll miss some references and some character backstory. I'd say your can play the first two cs games first but 3 and 4 are much better if you've played sky and Crossbell

He's gone Jim, now the rats will feast

Because most games I buy are not good enough for me to progress far in them, the one you posted being one of the examples

I've probably put in at least 200 hours into Deus Ex but have 0 hours on it on Steam because I bought it for one or two bucks during the hween sale for convenience.

I bought it after finishing the pirated version

Ok, thanks for the answer. I've still got Stein's to read through and some other games so likely will take me a few months to get started but I'm intrigued
