Forums - Gaming - How long do you play a game for you say "I quit!"

I ask because recently Ive been forcing myself through Okami and Bleach: Dark Souls. Okami Im forcing myself to like but its not working. Bleach Im playing because....its Bleach. Blade of Fate was much much better. In single player at least.

Okami Im a little over 3 hours and minus a few neat moments I am unintersted in playing more. I wanna like it but I just cant seem to get into it. Kinda feel like Im doing something wrong because some people love it. But Twilight Princess is much much better than this. Dont know how anyone can say otherwise. Well I guess I can.

Bleach: Dark Souls single player is nothing but boring mini missions. Their not really mini games. You fight under certain circumstances doing boring fucking tasks. It doesnt even follow the manga storyline rather some terrible made up script. I'll be going back to Blade of Fate soon.

So how long do you play a game for it to catch your interest? If it doesnt catch it do you force yourself or do you quit?

I give it at least 10 hours before i quit, like i wanted to like Dark Cloud 2 so bad but i just wasnt into it, im gonna try again soon



Usually when it starts to feel like work.



I tough it out and play through it, but that's because I get a review out of it. Before I wrote reviews, I didn't give a game any longer than it took for me to bore of it, no reason to.

I have to be getting mad at something to the point of wanting to break down and cry.

JRPG's are the most stressful genre to me, because I am really bad at them, but I enjoy them so much.

when it stops being a game i.e FUN !!!!!!



What?! Okami is one of my favorite games, EVER. I didn't know it was possible for someone to hate it. T_T

On the other hand, I really disliked Twilight Princess, a lot. Perhaps it's because my expectations were so high. It just doesn't feel like the other Zelda games, which is funny considering that it was "supposed" to be a OoT tribute. I'm just glad that they're doing something new for the next game.

I normally quit a game after I get bored of it and think that it's too much work than it's worth. That rarely happens.



It takes me about 3 hours.......if I haven't enjoyed by that point, I'm just wasting my time.



Depends how bad it is. I put down Resident Evil when they told me I was the master of locksmiths so I would be good at picking locks and they gave me a lockpick and then about 4 seconds later I found a locked door and the game gave me a hint, telling me that since I'm the master of locksmiths and was just given a lockpick about 4 seconds earlier, maybe I should use my lockpick and locksmith-master skills to pick the lock. I've put down several games in under 5 minutes.
