game Have you ever abandoned a game?

[Zani]

Playing games can be exciting and fun. So, it is rare to have a situation where one would say that they abandoned a game. Have you ever had the experience of abandoning a game? What made you change your mind to stop playing the particular game?

Some games are quite frustrating and a typical example is Witcher 3. The combat mechanics and the story is nothing to write home about and could get players easily aggravated. You are likely to get stuck in that game many times because I have too! I also hate games that are too repetitive.

I have stopped playing a lot of games. For example, I used to play Fortnite and PUBG a lot but I don't play these games any more. It is not that I stopped playing because I was bored, it is simply that I found new games and I started playing newer once. There are a lot of interesting games but very limited time for gaming.

I sincerely understand your perspective. I have also found myself in a very difficult game and I abandoned it immediately. Dark Souls has a very punishing difficulty but sometimes I return to it just to see if I can conquer it.

This is actually quite a challenge. Once you get into a game and its know how, if the storyline is interesting it becomes increasingly difficult to abandon it. However, I have abandoned games multiple times due to unavoidable situations in real life. And I realized that after a long break I no longer have the same interest or energy to re-play the same game so I would look for a new one.

I have abandoned a game in the past, and it is not too often that I do that. The game was Cuphead, and I remember seeing many people playing it when I used to watch streamers on Mixer and became interested in the game. Many found the game to be difficult, and some even rage quit, but I tried out the game just to see how difficult it was and rage quit after around half an hour and never went back.

Oh for sure. There was this Inside Out game for Android that was a tile-matching puzzle similar to Luxor, lovely game but the difficulty ramped up to a point where it was about luck and reliance on the game's RNG over skillful playing, as it tends to happen with that kind of games past a certain level. I got bored of that, unfortunately, I don't know if it even had a final level anyways.
