I definitely feel like I've got a lot more time out of games than I would have otherwise. Giving me things to do that I wouldn't have done or even thought of without them.
Yeah idk my wife is all about 100% completion and getting all the achievements but on the other hand I tend to not even look at achievements (as in Xbox achievments) and just like to play a story and explore the world as it comes naturally. Aside from the usual FPS games we mainly play open world RPGs and those types of games (fallout, Skyrim, Red Dead 2, Cyberpunk 2077, ect ect) I really enjoy just exploring the open world without the explicit goal of finding something/someone and when I come across something cool outside of the main story line then its even cooler because I had no idea it was there. BUT with that being said, if I put hours and hours into a game; IE finish the main story line, do a ton of side quests, explore until im bored, THEN i usually put it down and don't come back for a long while. I always hit a point where I'm satisfied with what ive done and seen and im just ready to move on. This is in stark contrast to my wife who will literally not rest until every detail of the game is completely discovered and every possible interaction has been completed
Absolutely this. I played the shit out of Tears of the Kingdom. Did I get all the outfits? No. The bublegems? Not even close. How many wells? No thanks.
Did I play that game until I was tired of playing that game and feel I got my money's worth? Yes. Now I'm playing a different game.
