I've probably played 100 hours of Oblivion and Skyrim and am sad to say I've never once completed the main quests...

Terraria for me
I always do summoner and then near the end I think to myself that I should play melee next time. A year passes. I play a summoner. Near the end I think to myself that I should play melee next time. A year passes...
I always played melee and always thought that I should play a different class... I did ranged once and that's it.
Wizard main here. I keep trying to build a summoner or a melee but as soon as the space gun comes out it's all over.
Have you tried Calamity?
Yea but never really got into it
Even though I think it's a very well made mod

Playing Chrono Trigger for the 1000th time right now!
And I can't see myself to finish it at least once 🙃
I am not saying it is a bad game by any means, I just struggle to finish games in a nutshell lol (also not fun when I leave an RPG game for a long period of time, get back to it rusty and clueless of where I left).
Do randomizers count? If so, I play though Link to the Past like 15 times a year
I had never even considered that there might be randomizers for classics... I'm going to look up this one!
There's randomizers for Super Metroid too. And I've even seen one that's LttP and Super Metroid together played at games done quick lol
Ok, this is something that I'm looking forward to trying. Just gotta figure out how you're supposed to download these.

I’m pretty sure there is for Dark Souls…
I've seen the videos of these, although I've always been hesitant to mod my game.

I think I have more fun with Ocarina of Time randomizers than I did actually playing OoT

Welp, I can't allow a thread like this to exist without mentioning the original Deus Ex.
Ugh, gotta reinstall it now.
I have been playing Sekiro with a randomiser recently, really helps breathe some new life into games you've beaten like 10 times already.
Ahh, this is me with Toy Story 2 for PS1... I have yet to try the dream cast version!
I remember liking the Dreamcast version!
I truly wonder if it has some QOL changes, or at least better visuals, anyway I have my nostalgia googles for the PS1 version... But it would be interesting... And I dare I'm curious for another game session.
I still bring up the sega shadowrun sometimes.
I've never played that one, but the SNES Shadowrun was a lot of fun.
A mark of a great game is its replayability. I know for some that's difficult because of the knowledge you have afterwards, but it can still be fun to relive things. On the flip side, a not so great game is the one where you never want to go through the struggle and grind again because it frankly wasn't fun.
It really depends on the game.
Some games are challenges that many people feel as completed when they finish it. For me, that would be Portal. The storytelling through the setting was great, but the main focus was the puzzles which aren't as fun the second time through. Portal 2 has a great story that makes it fun to replay, but that doesn't mean Portal was a bad game because it didn't have a story line worth replaying. Plus Portal 2 had the additional custom puzzles that made it worth playing outside of the story itself.
Being an unfun challenge is definitely the sign of a bad game., or at least a bad match for the player. I'm sure there are plenty of people who think Dark Souls/Elden Rings are bad games because of the frustration factor, some only play it once to get the satisfaction of beating it, and there are people who play through it over and over again.

Me and Gothic 2
Iss mal ne Wurst
All the fromsoft games for me haha
Meanehile Stop Killing Games in EU and Canada: Rise and shine, mister Freeman. Rise and shine.
Freelancer(2003). Replay this at least once a year.
I had Freelancer with me on a deployment one year. Running space convoys by night, getting ambushed for my diamonds and stuff, running real convoys by day, getting ambushed for geopolitics.
Every time I pick up the disc, it takes me back.
Me and “Kirby Super Star” for the SNES
Literally any Pikmin game
Meanwhile, I've installed this game four separate times and have never made it past the 3rd level.
I'm old and hard games are hard.
Me and Katana ZERO. Just trying to speedrun it. Best time I got is around 33 minutes.
Factorio, fallout 4, Morrowind, borderlands....
Stardew valley is the wife's main one.
Any SMT game
I’m working on my first playthrough of Sekiro right now but I’m kinda stuck. Corrupted Monk just takes so little damage from my attacks I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong.
Corrupted monk is one of the tougher fights. When I beat it the first time, I was just chipping away like you, and it took me forever.
You can speed it up by parrying as much as possible to stance break.
Yeah I’m pretty bad at partying in general. Working on it though enjoying the game so far?
I fought with it the whole time on my first run too. It was too hard to unlearn all my dark souls muscle memory.
I haven't played for years, but from what I remember, the posture damage is shit. There are moments where the Corrupted Monk is open after an attack I think. This is the moment to strike.
