Yes, maybe I was looking for more than there is to it. For me, it felt very pathos-y and as if it wanted to convey a deeper message, but when I found none at the end, maybe that's exactly what Anderson was going for here. Or is going for in many of his movies. I think I'll see another one of his to try and make this clearer to me.
And I agree on there being a lot of characters! It's a great cast that shows up surprisingly little, so to say. :D
Interesting that the Hitman games make you feel like this, I thoroughly enjoyed them because of the ability to replay levels endlessly, which made me feel like I can't miss anything because I can just start over if I want to try a different approach.
Totally agree on them taking too long and I've also found myself being annoyed with Addison quite quickly. The koroks I don't mind as they offer a different challenge every time and it's not very relevant to complete them all. But Addison's tasks are. always. the. same. Boring!
Love the crop top
100% agree with you, being a completionist also sucks the enjoyment out of games for me. I feel like I'm not as far along as you and still have to "get" that I don't HAVE to explore and find everything. Just takes a while, probably. :) It's hard for me to decide whether a game is worth exploring extensively or not.
Very well said, you're right! There's definitely too much to see for a single person in a single playthrough.
Truee, Fallout also made me feel like this! I've only ever started FO4 but I had to return it within the first two hours of playing because I felt forced to loot every house and find every little story in that giant world. Too much for me!
I feel this 100%, I'm also currently playing it with a friend (well, we've been at it for more than 6 months) and I'm so so glad he's pulling me through the game, I'd never ever finish it on my own.
Glad to see you're also a bit confused about TotK! It definitely feels like it has less of a direction it pushed you in than BotW. There was another comment that suggested completing a bit of the main story first, I think I'll try that for now.
Oh wow yeah I definitely missed that memo. But that goes in line with what another person said about persuing the main quest first and exploring a bit later. Thanks for the tip!
True lol, I've purposely been steering clear of that game because even seeing other people play it makes me think about what they could've missed. :D
Thank you, this is the kind of context I was looking for!
