Yakuza franchise comes to mind. Also several longer RPGs, I really need to be in the right headspace for 100+ hour games. Most recently Lost Odyssey, but Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is also in this box.
I don’t think I’ve had this dilemma.
Teach me your ways, master!
Tactics Ogre but mostly because I’m playing too many other turn-base strategy games to really do it justice.
Baldur’s Gate 3.
I also held off a really long time on it to wait until it was done done so that I didn’t have to go back every time new content or patches were released.
Mass Effect. I know I’m gonna finish that whole trilogy once I start.
And it’s totally worth it.
I should replay 3 sometime, with all the DLC, which I remember people saying added a lot to the characters. I only played shortly after release and the game felt like 1 step forward in combat and character progression and 2 steps back in storytelling
Factorio
I know my brain, and if I start I’ll never be able to stop.
You don’t stop … Factory must grow !!
Almost everything that comes out from 2K, Ubisoft, and EA. I know I won’t play enough to warrant spending that kind of money, because I know what I like and they don’t make shit I like.
I have a few VN’s from Itch that I don’t wanna start because they’re probable gonna be too short for my taste, despite being free. So definitely games I won’t play enough of. Similar reason as to why there’s only a singular game on my steam account I regret purchasing, despite it having been a $1.99USD purchase: also a VN.
Similar issue, I have many VNs that seemed like a good deal at the time, but would take way too much time to get interesting.
Half of them it seems like you need to go through 20 requisite school scenes meeting people before anything interesting happens. While I finished Steins;Gate, it’s initially guilty of that kind of slow build.
I’ve been hesitating to download and play that behemoth of a VN. Slow build be damned, I will eventually stop procrastinating on playing Steins; Gate.
And as someone who played Danganronpa 2 and v3, will agree on the thing of excessive meeting people. If there’s at least one thing I like about how the first game is set up, you get to meeting all the characters in one area, so it kinda cuts down on being excessive a little bit… after all the typical excessive setup scenes.
None, I generally don’t finish games.
