22_22 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 How long can you invest in a game before you get bored? What are the various factors that can influence your enjoyment or boredom of these different games? For me I can sit at a game for a while and play it quite regularly before I get bored. What makes it more interesting for me is having online play, as playing games of FIFA for instance against the computer can quickly become tedious.

The Blackangel Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Going at one single game, I can usually go no more than 2 hours on it, before I get bored with it. Sometimes I can go longer, but that's usually the daily limit for said game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon_skeith Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Depends on the game, a platformer about 30 hours at best, racing like 15 hours and RPG I'm willing to go up to 100 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I think the point about investing into the game is more of the psychological and personal. As long as it fits your health and you can keep on churning in, that would be the limit I guess. I personally don't keep track of the time.

ARx182 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) It really depends on the game. If it’s a competitive game like Fortnite or a new FIFA, the hours fly by, unless I’ve been playing the game too much recently. If it’s a story based game, I can’t play longer than 2 hours. Story based games are generally slow and I get bored too easily. Edited July 3, 2020 by ARx182 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some games stay with me forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolves Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 There are some games that are just timeless. For me, they are almost any of the COD series and Minecraft. I've been playing both games for several years and can't get bored with all the updates or competitive gaming. Any other game I might play for a few weeks before it's no more fun.

Family sedan Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I could play NBA Live '03 for the rest of my life. You don't even need to make that many trades to get Boston to win a title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuroInDistress Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Single players games maybe 50 hours max if it's an open world game, online games that I get addicted to can go on for a pretty long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I can't imagine keeping my body sane with 50 hours straight now that I am in 30s. I guess I need small sets of the clash based games to enjoy and being sane on physical level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m76 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 It depends on how good the game is. Great games can keep me playing all day long without getting bored. If I have no desire to continue playing a game after 1-2 hours that's a failure on the part of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality vs Adventure Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I'm at 200 hours on Assassins Creed Odyssey. I have almost 40 games on ps4, played them, but what stuck for me is Odyssey and Witcher 3. I have never been into a game as much as these two. Just got AC Origins and never gonna stop those three games. What keeps me playing the most is beautiful exploration. It's an adventure better than tv or books because I am controlling what to do and where to go. In AC I enjoy the villages and all that is going on as if I were there. The graphics are amazing and sometimes I can just picture myself there in an ancient village, fishing village, or on a mountain or forest or ocean. And I have at least 100 hours in Horizon Zero Dawn. Once again, the exploration and beauty keep me in it. For me those will stick for a long time. Interestingly, Witcher 3 I didn't like at first cause there was too much potions to learn, things to craft, gear wearing down, weight problems of gear I have to stop and lose things in inventory to fix weight issues. I stopped the game for 6 months till I picked it back up and gave it another try. The quests started to get really good and along with exploration got me hooked. Fallout 4 I stopped playing cause of weight issues. Monster Hunter World I am at a loss in that game. Not sure what to do, too much weapons to learn and inventory stuff, I stopped playing and probably won't go back for a long while. I get bored with shooting and not so interesting atmosphere. I need adventure and beautiful places to see. And getting awesome outfits/gear for the character in 3rd person games I love too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like something new to learn and experience in fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
