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

I do finish games I would rate 6 out of 10 on occasion, but that's quite rare, and usually depends on the game having at least one really good feature or aspect that makes it worth playing, whether that's a really well-written story, very enjoyable gameplay, or something else.

Agreed. Even a small hook is enough. Playing Black Myth Wukong now and it has a small hook in me, outside of the occasionally really great boss fights there is just a tiny little sliver of stickiness that keeps me coming back despite being very down in the dumps, looks like there is 40 more hours to go but that little tiny hook is all I need to push through the average parts or poor parts and continue progressing for the good boss fights.

Same with FF16 last month but it was the story and characters that saw me through despite everything else being as bland and average as a game could possibly be. 

I'm in exactly the same position as you but there is also the money factor, I wait for half price or under but even at a high 35 euro it feels like I'm wasting money If I don't make use of the game to some degree, the more spent the harder it is to drop the game while waiting for it to get good and the deeper in I end up. But do you wish, as I do, to be able to say nope, I'm only gonna beat games that are great cause you will have more time to play the great games and waste less time? I would have to assume that only beating 9's or above would give you a warped perspective on games and since you have no notion of what an average game is you wouldn't be able to fully appreciate the highs...
