I get distracted by side-things in games all the time. By anything. I even get distracted in linear/"cinematic" games.

Nintendo does love their spinoffs.

Koroks...so many...Koroks...*rocks back and forth*

I have horrible ADD, and so open world games are a nightmare for me. My first time playing Skyrim, I remember getting distracted picking up every book or piece of bread I came across, or forgetting my main mission whenever I saw a random cave.

That being said...I can't seem to stop playing these games either. It's not like I like them or anything. Hmph!

I'm pretty sure in Tekken, I've spent a lot of time in the customisation menu dressing up the characters.

... it's basically a dressing up game.

Sometimes it takes me hours to get from point A to point B in Breath of the Wild.

Sounds like my overall experience with Zelda. Can't get very far in the game without finding something interesting in the distance. xD I'm more interested in doing all the side stuff rather than progress the story.

However, I'm playing another game which is doing this in a terrible way. Disgaea 5 has side quests that keep on recycling, even after I complete them. I really hate this and just feels like padding. They should have just made more varying quests rather than keep using the same ones...
