StaceyPowers Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 While I can sometimes remember specific details of games I played a year or more ago vividly, I notice I forget a lot of stuff within just a few weeks as well, which often leaves me confused about side quests in particular when I take a few weeks off from a game and come back to it. Do others also quickly forget some video game content? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I tend to forget a lot of stuff soon after I played the game if I am honest but I am always forgetting things quite easily so that is normal to me to be honest. I find that I have to play through either certain parts again to remember what is going on in the game before I continue or if it's a game I played fully through in one sitting I will play through the game again just to try and remember what happened. It can be very frustrating sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 If you have not played the game in awhile then you would and will forget the basic or little things, but after awhile of playing it again it comes back 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerodynamik Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Agreed with Empire. I tend to remember some things pretty fast. But not everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 It depends on how much I like that game, and when I last played it. If it's one of my top 5, I usually don't forget much, if anything at all. But if it's not, and I don't play it for an extended period, then I can forget a lot and really easily. For example, I haven't played A Boy And His Blob in a few decades. So I don't have a clue at this point as to what jellybeans do what. I don't know why it's been so long since I've played it. Possibly because I've been into playing other games. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same - if it's a game I didn't particularly fancy or take a liking to when I was playing it, it usually takes me a while to remember how the game works.

Smokey Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Depends on how many games I play through within a certain time frame. For example, I might remember the overall key plot points to most CoD titles, but I might forget certain things in a Far Cry game or something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyng Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Honestly, within a day or two of playing. Â If I take a break from a game for a couple of weeks, and then come back to it, I'll mostly have forgotten where I was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man, I fucking hate that. The same bullshit happens to me just about every time I take a break from >insert title< for a while. Even with RDR2, my fingers have to get in the right rhythm before I can do much of anything. It's a curse to us, and a big FUCK YOU to those who don't have that issue.

Reality vs Adventure Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 When I started gaming I'd forget things so easily and it's actually gotten better. I still always forget things but not as much. Maybe gaming improves memory? Another thing I find myself doing a lot more these days is I take the time to think about all the events of the storyline and the events I just played. That enhances the memory and experience. Plus, I get overwhelmed easily and it causes an overload of memory. Instead of playing too many quests in one sitting, I like to pace it out and enjoy the process of thinking about it. I don't expect myself to possibly remember everything in the long term. That experience, and the feelings I had is something I can remember.

Scorpion Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 Absolutely! It’s common to forget quests or details after a break. A recap feature would be super helpful for returning players! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
