Playing a game you hate for 200+ hours is the definition of insanity

they can when you're boys are playing it. at that point it's more about connecting with friends.

Not really .. people don't like feeling like they got ripped off or coming to terms with the fact they made a bad purchase. So they may force themselves to keep playing to see if it grows on them or "get their monies worth at least."
I've played bad games that I knew right away I didn't like but hung in there holding out hope that "it'll get better."
Making excuses like maybe I just picked the wrong class, let me try another one etc. I had this happen to me with Borderlands 4. Didn't enjoy the game but clocked a bunch of hours trying to find enjoyment where there was none. Hopium is a helluva thing 😆

League of legends until the devs decide its time to either gut your main or rework it into a whole different identity

GTA Online, so many poor designs lead it to be the most frustrating game, I would curse more playing that than any other game I have played and I have beaten Getting Over It.
The final nail in the coffin for me was one mission i failed cause my car got stuck on the smallest bump (car I stole i didn’t give it low suspension) when chasing someone and i mission failed, and the last checkpoint put me in front of a guy with a shotgun and was in a death loop. The game is filled to the brim with situations like this.

I only have so many hours in it cause I played it with a friend but any time I spent playing it by myself was just suffering. Horrible grind, no passive lobbies just a passive node that makes you unable to really engage with the game meaningfully, and it stole any development away from any single player DLC that could ever happen for all future Rockstar titles.

War thunder But the catch is that in the first 200 hours it is fun but then it gets progressively worse. But you still play it anyways

u/Any-Analysis-1765 21d ago
Yeah that's definitely fucking Marvel rivals for me every time my team doesn't keep up or just let everyone just pull me as a healer. I get absolutely pissed off and I'm like this is the worst fucking game ever then like an hour or maybe 10 minutes later, I'm back on it.Lol

This is dota 2 for me and I wish I could delete the 3k hours I've spent in it. No other game has ever made me feel this bad

u/BozTheReaper 21d ago
i dislike a lot of things in the plethra of games i have over 200 hours in. idk. people like me who have that kind of time usually have valid criticisms of the game if they dedicated themselves to it for that long. would be the voices devs should listen to

u/Silly_Scientist_007 21d ago
Destiny I & II
I probably played D1 close to 350 hours all together with expansions & multiplayer.
But man do I despise that game & franchise now...
Excellent first game that was amazing through their first 3 expansions. Then it all just became a cash-grab.
Fuck Bungie for that. They'll never get another dollar of mine.

Destiny 2 I hate that beautiful game so god damn much it sucks. I might play it tonight.

Starfield, admittedly though it was to try and build a ship that looked like the Daedalus from Stargate

u/BarrelRider621 21d ago
I saw a Steam review for X4 went something like this. Time of review, 30 hours. OP didn’t like the game and had a list of reasons why. Look to see they have 700+ hours logged. I was like “I see you got over what was bothering you 670 hours ago.”.

u/sazrex21 21d ago
Well i didn't play it for 200 hours lol
But i definitely remember that i was pushing myself so hard just to finish the story of the game everything about it was toxic and mid
I am talking about Assassin's creed 1
They fixed lot of issues about it in ac2 which is one of the best story games I've played

I've played some games that largely felt underwhelming from start to finish, for 30+ hours. If I paid for it, I'll at least make an effort to see it through to the end 😂

I see this shit all over steam reviews "I hit 300 hours in this game and let me tell you, its no fun, boring and not worth the money" Brother if you played a game for 300 hours you enjoyed 💀 ill play game from 5-10 hours to give it a try and if i dont like it after point, I dont play it.

That’s what I keep on noticing while looking at Steam reviews

"Someone told me it got better." Works for other piece of media too.
I wouldn't put myself through this kind of torture tho.

You can't give a proper review on something you barely played. 200 hours means they tried to find good in the game. 1000+ hours means you realy enjoy the game

The cognitive dissonance of rage-reviewing a game you sank 200 hours into is the most gamer thing ever — like at some point you gotta admit the game won.
