Do you have any games that you like but you never finished for any reason? Which game is it? Doesn’t matter how many times you play and replay it you just never get to see the credits roll. I think Skyrim gonna be a quite common answer xD

    An absolute ton. I have a bad habit of saving just outside the final boss/dungeon/encounter/sequence and never going back to finish it.

    Most recently, I’ve done this with Yakuza: Like a Dragon. I think it’s still installed because “I swear I’ll load it and finish it soon”. But, as examples, I did this as a child with Breath of Fire 2 and as a teenager with FF7.

    I think there’s something about realizing I have to break off of the main story to do all the side content I want to experience that leads to a kind of weird play paralysis. Once I’m that deep into the game, the magic of the world has worn off and I just want to see how the story ends, but I feel like if I don’t step back and do everything else there is to do, I’m “missing out”. So I procrastinate, just a little bit, and then something new and shiny catches my eye.
