StaceyPowers Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 So many times when I’m looking online for tips on some section of a game, I see someone else mention it took them “a few hours” when it takes me closer to “many hours.” Maybe some people are just hyper-efficient, but it seems like a lot of folks rush through games. I like to take my time and see and do all I can. I’m sad when a game is over. Where do you weigh in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanC Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Aye, I take my time with games, for the most part. If it's an RPG, I like wandering around and just getting lost in the world. If it's a linear shooter, I tend to stand and gawk at the views or check every corner for items. I tend to take pleasure in just being immersed in another world.

Demon_skeith Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Usually those who 'rush' through games often know what they are doing, have a guide nearby and have a lot of free time to finish it all in one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyxx Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I also like taking my time with games. Rushing is never a good thing since you may miss a lot of details that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joant73 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) Yea some people just sprint through the story. I had a friend who beat Skyrim at like level 18 or something like that, because all they did was story and because of how it levels to you they could get through it. I find that a waste really, I always take my sweet time and explore everything I can. Every now and then I will gamefly a game that I want to check out just for the story, I will play those a bit faster so I can mail them back for the next. But large open world games, I am always taking my time. Edited October 18, 2018 by Joant73 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noru Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Sometimes I need to hold myself off from rushing through a game when the story really got me. I try to distract myself from it by doing side missions, but sometimes it just gets boring, so I progress with the story. So I don't take super-long, but I still try to take my time to explore everything and then progress further. This is why I actually like BoTW so much, it didn't really have any story to go with, so I was 20 hours in the game and still didn't step foot into Hateno, haha. It really took me long to finish the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilita Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Never rush through games, I'm here to play for my own enjoyment I do like wtching Youtuber who rush through games, but usually they've played those mods or games like a hundred times so it's almost muscle memory of what to do next.

JennyorAlice Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 When I was playing Hogwarts Legacy last year, I preferred to take my time and not rush through the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennysplash Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 The beauty of gaming is taking the time to enjoy all the aspects and scenes of it. If I do not have the time to play I would rather suspend it than rush through it. I want to be able to relate it well to others after playing.

I enjoy playing games in a slow pace to find out the basic details that I would want to know. It is always much better for me that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushing through games can make you overlook side quests, and it can also lead to a less immersive experience. For me, I like to take my time to explore every nook and cranny and also complete all the side quests as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Button Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Rushing through games will make them feel shallow and unfulfilling to me. That's why enjoy the experience and take in the whole story. I like to take my time to finish a game i started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 I'm a completionist, too; 100%ing a game gives me satisfaction, even if it takes dozens of hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
