I might genuinely be autistic and I'm not even joking… though the thing is, a part of me feels perfectly fine with it. I mean, does anyone else here do this? I've never finished a single Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Pokémon… and that's just for the major Nintendo IPs, if I go for other major ones, I've never finished a single Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Metal Gear, Elder Scrolls, Mega Man, Castlevania… and then there are also so many licensed IPs that are successful in video games aswell, I haven't played many in the last few years either… and whenever I try, I just drop it after a while, they're not much fun to me. I essentially have these dozen franchises I grew up playing and loving so much, and nowadays I either replay the ones I grew up with, or go after new installments from those very franchises that I hadn't really played before, over and over again…

I've attempted to get started on some of these major franchises before, those lists with the so called top video games of all time, the ones you have to play, the ones no one in this hobby should miss out on at all… and yet I never get truly immersed in it and often drop it in favor of playing yet another installment from a favorite franchise of mine… is it because I didn't grow up with them? I suppose so, perhaps if I did then they'd be among these franchises I always go back to, though there's no way to be sure… still, it's cozy in a way, the familiarity, and discovering a new favorite among an old franchise you know and love, though at times it feels like I'm genuinely missing out, at least from what is written everywhere online, but whenever I try to break away and try these interesting IPs people acclaim, it just doesn't do it for me, a part of me wishes it did… but that's fine.

>>63396Don't get hooked on MMORPGs with that mindset. I tried to farm PERFECT gear, which even if the stats are rolled fairly and based purely on mathematic RNG, it would be like winning thousands of mega jackpots in your lifetime. I managed to obtain numerous easier items:
5 stats: STR, DEX, END, INT, SPR
Items can have 0~5 of these stats
Each stat rolls from 1 (if you roll it initially) all the way up to 10, and the cap number goes up when levels of the gear goes up. My goal was to get ALL gears capped and perfect for all classes and all levels.
I'm fairly certain the evil company would brick certain rolls, as you can spend real money to reroll the items which tended to provide better results.
I would get tons of gear that was 2 points away from perfect, far more often than perfect items, even though from a statistical standpoint those variations have the same chance. Let's say I had 10 perfects, I had 1000 near perfects. Totally rigged. I would farm 12+ hours a day, and keep an eye on the auctionhouse.
So glad I gave that game up, looks like it was going to die and I didn't want to go through that whilst half way through a gamer binge.

I have a solution to propose for the vidya completionists in this thread that I developed from when I first started playing jrpgs. The idea is to base your actions around a certain goal so that you won't have to experience that perfectionist itch for every possible feature available in the game. Now the goal I chose is that I would only commit towards another playthrough/dungeon/event/item etc. if the process or result contained material relevant to the story/characters of the game. Of course this is more applicable to certain genres of games than others but I personally find it to be the most fulfilling way to experience a game.

I have a similar issue. I can't focus on one thread at a time. It feels like I have to reply in multiple threads at once. I can never finish watching an episode in one sitting. Nor can I read a book for more than 20 pages before I want to learn about something else.

>>63403That's perfectly fine and normal anon, nothing wrong with it. Do what gives you the most satisfaction, I find that focusing on multiple unfinished tasks back to back helps me best. Trust yourself.

>>61198i have had a similar thing, I never managed to finish a lot of RPGs, I just play them and move on. I finished a lot as a kid though. I still can't finish any TV show or anime. I don't know why.
