For me it was the opposite, got about 80% of the way through it and found almost all shrines, then stopped playing for a few months during a business trip, tried playing again recently and just felt no real urge to keep playing, ran around for a few minutes then went back to playing sonic mania, i don't think I'll ever finish it because of the lack of desire to keep playing.

So why dont you just face Gannon and end it? Thats the beauty of Breath of the Wild. You decide when its over if you're good enough. Perhaps is it that you believe you're not well equipped to complete the game yet?

To the bold and underlined point: As avid forum-going gamers, we are apart of a sub-culture on the internet where talking about games tends to either hype us up or influence our social decision-making. Sometimes we suffer from F.O.M.O.....or "Fear of Missing Out". If we can control those emotions we can weed out things that we dont naturally gravitate to or watch videos and demos to see if they offer something new.

That's true. I was genuinely curious if GTA V would be better because I already knew a lot of GTA fans didn't like IV. Plus I liked Red Dead. 

But I held off buying it for years and I don't think it was at a full price. 

Now I just accept it's terrible

Also I wasn't a forum goer when I bought it

For the same reason I don't complete many games, just lost interest in It, and finishing up what's needed and then facing off with Gannon, is there really a point if I'm already bored of the game? I don't feel any sense of loss in having not done so, so the only thing I'll gain from completing it is even less of a reason to ever pick it up again, that doesnt sound appealing at all.

Out of curiosity, what other games were like this for you?

It would be easier to give you a list of games that weren't.

Understandable. I had the same problem with most open world games until breath of the wild. Perhaps easing up on that and working on something that provides more fun factor for while will help until the genre opens itself up to you more nicely. If I might ask, what was it about breath of the wild that made you get bored?

weapon breaking was only a issue for the first 5 hours after that it didnt bother me at all... It gave me reasons to not to rush things.

I love BotW... its the best game I've ever played wich is alot.
The only thing I would change is the number of dungeons and the amount of monsters/difficulty in them... they were way to short.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

So you like racing simulators and side scrollers. Makes sense. Perhaps more indie games  and racers will be your therapy.
