    Most of games these days. After a couple hours I feel like I was doing chores, not playing game and have fun.

        Or maybe it’s just me. I’m getting old now and doesn’t have infinite free time to do mundane virtual chores anymore. I got 1-2 hours of free time per day, if I’m lucky and the kid won’t tear up the house.

        It’s a shame, one of my favorites was Elite Dangerous. I love explore the universe in peace. But to be able to do so would require months of constant and repetitive grinding for material to upgrade the ship.

          Oh no, it’s definitely not just you.
          I feel like the overall design of games has been lazy lately and they’ve just filled them up with mundane chores to pad the completion time.
          No one’s going to pay $70 for a game if they know there’s only 2 hours worth of story to play through.

          And I deeply loved elite dangerous but it was definitely just space trucking simulator, I feel like frontier really messed up whenever they pushed all their resources to whatever idle Sim game they were designing that flopped.

        This is why I have failed to make any headway in Skyrim even though I’ve tried to play it 5 - 6 times.

      An oh dear, I DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR LORE. Just let me start playing the stupid game, no need for a giant cinematic.
