Ever Had This Happen To You

[Auron225]

Me personally?

Actually no, not really. It bugs me to start a game & not finish it, unless it's an awful game (in which case I won't get far anyway), so I don't usually have to "come back" to anything aside from replaying it. I don't even like starting a new game in something if I know that circumstances will soon demand I take an extended break from it - it's why I'm not playing a couple of new games I have sitting on my shelf, since I'm going away for a few weeks very soon.

This is exactly why I've never finished Fallout: New Vegas. I certainly intend to this time but my 360 controller is about half broken and is only useful for watching Netflix. I'll get back to it at some point though. and I'll just have to ignore this problem.

I had just started Dead Money too. Had been interesting so far.

If your friend's been needling you about it, now might be a pretty good time to give it a shot. The last season ended recently, and with it came changes to tons of items, champions, and the mastery trees. You can hide your backsliding with a veneer of "NO ONE knows how this works yet". Plus, the seasonal game mode, "Legend of the Poro King" is back, and I personally believe it to be the most casual fun mode available in a MOBA.

That is actually quite encouraging I like/d LoL a lot and nowadays just play HotS because of the easier approach but with all the changes to LoL I might get back into it.

A few weeks ago actually, when I loaded up a save file for Legend of Dragoon I started sometime last year.

I was watching a streamer play it and it reminded me that I had a file I never got around to finishing, so I wanted to go back and play it as I remember it was almost at the end of the game, and it'd be fun to play it in time with the streamer...Until I loaded the file.

Turns out I was at a very open part of the game and I couldn't remember how to progress. I was at a point in the game where I had all 50 stardusts, and had the ability the go anywhere in the game world, and my party was just standing around in a desert area and I felt immediately lost. But I don't want to start over cause I've never gotten all the Stardusts before D:



Then there was a time where the complete opposite of the question this thread is asking happened. Star Ocean 3/4 (whichever starred Fayt Liongod) was a game I had a lot of enjoyment in, but had issues actually convincing myself to play the game. There was a part kinda early on where you need to go to a Mine you previously visited in order to find a specific mineral/key item, and I would remind myself every couple weeks that I needed to go do that. I did that for about a year and a half before I went back to the game lol.

I used to have this all the time, on account of erratic work hours and my tendency to sink into low days for weeks at times, making me disinterested in anything short of sleeping. I would be halfway through Fallout or DA and get back and just be frustrated and give up. I found a solution though, and I will share it with y'all.

Write a log of what you did after the game, on a note book or the computer itself. Include the save file name or number, current Quest, a quick summary, and forget about it. When you load back up, boom you know exactly what you were doing. A quick 1 minute of writing can save a 50+ hour game save. Hope I helped!
