This is why I love the sims, I get obsessed for x amount of time. I go to work if I have to, but then I’ll play sims every other second I can, I’ll even bring the laptop into the bathroom with me. Won’t sleep, won’t cook, won’t shower, etc. And then… all of a sudden, mid game even, I’m just… done. For months. Or years. And it’s a sandbox game, it’s literally digital barbies, so I can just stop and start over with a whole new game later. If im playing a more traditional game, I NEED to 100% it. I NEED a walk through to make sure I don’t make any wrong choices, it almost takes some of the fun out of it, so I don’t play those kinds that often (my roommate recently let me play Spiritfarer on her console, she had 40hrs and 98% and was like "its not important to the story and i cant find the last one… I got to 100% after 84 hours. We are not the same)
The first time someone explained this to me and showed me how to invert controls, it changed my life and made video games more enjoyable (I’m mostly a PC gamer out of convenience but prefer a console/controller). I recently played the ff7 remake and forgot that I could invert controls and was about to quit playing until I remembered I could invert. “Standard” controls don’t make sense to me and kinda make me dizzy or seasick.
