Do you ever beat average/mediocre games? (Poll)

[LegitHyperbole]

I find my self often clinging to hope for these games that they'll get better and when I'm far enough in I say fuck it and progress just to get it finished even if the game gets no better. My New Year's resolution was to not waste time with them but here in 2025, I've already stuck through FF16 (one of the blandest games of all time) and now High on life which I feel compelled to finish for some reason but it's like a 5/10.

I done a 5/10 last year with Dragons Dogma 2 and a few 6/10s. I really wish I could prevent myself from bothering and stick to 7s and above but if there is even a tiny strand of goodness in a game that I've already spent much tim, I'm willing to see it through. It's a curse, especially when they are long like DD2.
