I wish I could finish video games (lemmy.zip)

Hey everyone!

I really passionate about games but I struggle a lot to finish the storyline for a lot of them. There are some games I would love to finish like Eastward or Sea of Stars, but I feel unable to reasume them. I feel like if the game is not a dopamine trap(League or Civ VI) I can't continue playing it.

Does anyone here has face this issue and have found a way to work on it?

I started picking up old saves instead of restarting and now I finish them eventually. So then when you abandon the game you can say you'll get to it on a future iteration of this cycle.

I just can't do it. If it's been too long I have to start fresh and then the cycle continues. Still haven't beat persona 5 and I original got it on the PS3. (Didn't have a PS4 at the time)

I have started P5 three times, spent 20+hrs on PS4, rebought Golden played 50+hrs, rebought on Steam, 30+ hours.

Why am I like this 😬😅

I totally understand the difficulty of this. I'd say it took years for the frustration of not finishing things to override the resistance to picking up the old save.
