RPG Solid – Episode 521: “Upsell You to Unlimited Meows”

1. Positive, I would somewhat complete any and each game I launch up. I don’t play many games that I abominate enough or grow disinterested enough to cease sooner than ending them. I additionally don’t cherish leaving issues unfinished in in kind.

   Having said that, I restful haven’t performed Closing Myth Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers, so…

2. I would resolve on to remind occasional World of Warcraft players (including Chris) that the WoW anniversary match entails three mounts. If you happen to overlook the match, these mounts will likely turn into either now no longer doable to develop, or very expensive to aquire on the Sunless Market Auction Home. The Deathwing mount talked about on the podcast is kind of straight forward to get. The diverse two mounts are a wolf (for Horde) and a ram (for Alliance) from playing the particular Alterac Valley PvP match.

   The PvP match has been recently hotfixed, so as that the most straight forward manner to develop the mounts is to retain out assorted Alterac dailies over the route of quite a lot of days. The coolest data is that ending the grind on one persona of either faction will develop each mounts.

   QotW: I perform if truth be told feel the must discontinue games that I employ extra than 1-2 hours playing. Having a take a look at up the game’s ending on YouTube doesn’t count.

   No matter, or likely thanks to this trait, I cease playing a ways too many games after an hour or two. Normally I’ll shelve them and rob a take a look at at them again later, likely years later.

   I primitive to if truth be told feel the must develop 100% completion on games, nonetheless now no longer anymore. Handiest particular games deserve 100% completion – handiest the rare, particular games that are so excellent one doesn’t are attempting to cease playing till there’s actually nothing left to retain out.

   Even when a game is improbable, if 100% completion requires one thing unhurried (instance: accumulating 900 Korok seeds in Breath of the Wild) or abhorrent (instance: laying siege to harmless cities or questing for an horrible artifact weapon in Puzzle Quest) then it’s restful now no longer value it.

3. Over the final yr I’ve lastly compiled a listing of each RPG I’ve ever played. It’s ~130 games total that I’ve rolled credits on and fewer than 10 that I’ve now no longer performed, and even most of those will likely be performed moderately soon. I of route contain a must roll credits on most anything else I launch up unless it’s fully now no longer value my time, one thing that very now no longer steadily happens.

4. QOTW: I *perform* if truth be told feel guilty when I don’t discontinue a game I launch up. When I was younger, and had extra disposable free time, I was fully a 100% completionist. Now, I’m upright joyful if I’m lucky enough to if truth be told get to roll credits. I of route contain “extra than a handful” of games sitting on my shelf excellent now that are handiest in part performed or barely started and I if truth be told feel a quantity of guilt having spent that money and now no longer performed them.

5. QotW: I are inclined to if truth be told feel compelled to discontinue virtually each game I launch up. I are inclined to are attempting to retain out everything as properly, each facet quest, attempting for hidden items, and heaps others, nonetheless if I haven’t got everything by the point I roll credits, I’ll name it a day. Put up-game command material I’ll perform if I’m if truth be told into the game or it gives a helpful addendum to the indispensable legend (eg Dragon Quest VIII on each counts), nonetheless you are going to forget about Unique Sport+.

   Does gaming bring out OCD, or used to be it continuously there? Either manner, the fact I are attempting to discontinue games sooner than starting one more is now no longer helpful for backlog purposes…
