Anyone else keep starting big games even though deep down you know you can’t possibly finish them?
I love diving into a big, deep open-world that promises me a hundred hours of stuff to do. Or, I love the idea of it anyway. Realistically, I can’t do it all that often. When I’m busy, I’m really busy, and those kind of games drip-fed at a glacial pace just don’t work for me, so I inevitably fall off, or can’t finish them before something new and shiny wants my attention.
It doesn’t stop me from loving the thought of it (or perhaps what I love is the idea of having the free time that would allow me to do it). So I’ve noticed any time I have an afternoon off, or a little extra time outside of what I usually would devote to my regular gaming staples, I start thinking “let’s get into a big, meaty single player game, I’ll definitely keep up with it this time!”
I was in that place last month, and noticed Star Wars Outlaws was available on GamePass. Installed it, enjoyed it for a few hours (I gather it’s much improved over the state I heard about at launch). But now I’m trying to maybe squeeze in a single mission in-between doing other things, and… I know how this goes.
