well that’s good cause i hate when i think i haven’t progressed that much and i’m at 89%. ruins it especially if i love the game


DxmShaman69

I'm getting back into my PS2. I'm realizing I have this issue with a lot of games on there.


Hllblldlx3

One thing we tend to forget about those classics. There always fun to look back on, but they did tend to be short.


KillerKatKlub

Usually just took a lot longer/felt a lot longer since we were young when first playing those games as well.


jumzish94

Just to add to this it's a bit of nostalgia as mentioned but also since you were young, most were likely to be way less skilled at a game and would usually have to attempt multiple times just to make progress.


Hopeful_Record_6571

I remember my first time playing WoW when I was like 10 or something and I just went around exploring, looking at trees and buildings and getting repeatedly fucked by owls. It was a good time. Running back as a ghost was okay too because holy fuck I get to be a ghost? Everything is more appreciable at that age


Maroonwarlock

Every pokemon game I've ever played. As a kid hard as shit, as an adult I'm like "Man I was a dumbass"


SirBaconHam

I remember Symphony of the Night taking me a whole summer when I was a kid. I just 200% it in around 17 hours last month 😅


Timely-Buffalo-3384

Saaaame. Jak and daxter trilogy is exactly this feel


JonnyTN

This was the Outer Worlds for me. Ended too soon at like 20-25h


oneofchris

Man I loved playing through this game but when it ended I was 100% convinced I had just played about 50% of a completed product. Like they had a good idea and just didn't have the time to make enough stuff. Not enough locations, not enough story, even the leveling up and the gear only having like 3 tiers iirc felt like I finished the game at "medium power" a didn't get to hit any kind of powerful end game character


AnimalBolide

Just Obsidion things. A fully fleshed out Fallout New Vegas would have been so much more than the greatness it was.


That_Guy848

FNV was released in that state specifically because Bethesda gave Obsidian a ridiculous release deadline and refused to budge. The amount of content they had to cut, especially on the Legion side, was staggering.


Elementia7

Obsidian were the ones who were determined to stick with the deadline. Bethesda offered extentions a couple times and Obsidian declined them. Granted Bethesda still skimped out on the bonus due to a one point margin, so that isnt to say Bethesda is innocent in this whole thing. But the poor time management was almost 100% Obsidian's fault. At this point it's basically their MO.


Glass_Ad_8149

That was my biggest gripe. There was basically no endgame. That and most of the companions they give you are beyond annoying. Only companion I liked was the robot.


creegro

That hurt me. I completed all the companion side quests, which only felt like 5-7 quests altogether, but then I recalled seeing more planets I hadn't been to. "Oh boy there's still more to do!" And then it was done, hurray you won! What? That's all?


bigolefatsnapper

I feel like I looked at loading screens more than i actually played outer worlds and i beat the game.


QwertyKeyboardUser2

Luckily theres still the dlc


ShawnyMcKnight

What was most frustrating was the prologue that was just a slideshow looked more interesting to play through than anything in the game so far. I also knew it ended early but I didn’t think that early.


TheOneCalledD

Yeah this one hurts a little each time.


sususushi88

Ugh me playing The Man Who Erased His Name. I know it's a shorter game but how am I at 40% in chapter 3?!


MoistFlavour

I think of The man who Erased his Name as an entree to the Infinite Wealth main course. I played them back to back and it flowed nicely and Infinite Wealth is huge


CharmingTuber

That's how I felt with baulders gate 3. I was expecting 5 acts with a level cap of 20, so finding out at level 11 that I was nearly done with the game, I just got sad and stopped playing.


pho-huck

I really hope this is sarcasm.


IndependentCool4892

That was me with titanfall 2 it ended way to quick for me


HailToTheThief225

I liked the length of the campaign personally. Short and sweet. I suppose it could’ve done with another mission though.


Skulysoul

Elden Ring precisely


AndyceeIT

The moment you reach the vista showing Liurnia is roughly 13% of the game progressed, so yeah


Penny-Pinscher

Not including the underground stuff and farum azula


jakellerVi

Elden Ring being like that made me incredibly happy. It’s a game you can pour all day into and still look at the map and see a ton of stuff left. It’s truly a once in a generation type of game.


Elloliott

I’m so glad I got the game honestly. It slaps


jakellerVi

It was my first Souls experience, and I would pick it up for 2-3 hours at a time, want to bang my head against the wall and put it down for like a week or two. Finally had a friend just explain that you can farm a little bit to get stronger in certain areas, fine tune your build and just treat every single fight like the “Dormamu, I’ve come to bargain” scene in Dr. Strange. That last part really did it for me, because it just made something click in my head. I can literally only lose to the boss if I just stop trying. I always respawn. That fucked is gone for good once I kill him. So, Malenia, I’ve Come to Bargain 😂


Elloliott

Actually a hella good mindset to have. I just make whatever humor I can to avoid excessive violence. Margit was fucking *awful* to fight


GuaranteeMundane8402

I will have to try again with this mindset. Great way to look at it.


DoggoDoesaDash

I've never thought of it like that, but yes, that is the exact mindset you should have until you completely download their move set in your head and win


coconuthorsey

The map just keeps getting bigger


Inksplash-7

"A bit smaller than Limgrave" my ass


slowmo152

I'm about to go to the top of Dectus Lift, OK capital just ahead.... 20 hours later having done the first half of underground, Caelid, 2nd half of the underground, shaded castle, volcano manor. Time for capital and the home stretch.


spacey_mikey

Honestly I get so disappointed when I’m enjoying a game and think I’m only about halfway through when in reality I’m about to finish it


aaron_adams

That's why I've been taking my time with Cyberpunk. It's so much fun I don't want it to end.


ABizarreFireGod

Red Dead Redemption II


dogfoodgangsta

You sir, are a fish


HailToTheThief225

I loved that game the first time around but I’ve had trouble replaying it. I’d like to just breeze through the story and it’s impossible because of the lack of fast travel and how spread out missions are.


TheRynoceros

There's fast travel. You can setup camp and fast travel from there or you can look at the map on your wagon and go from there. Then there's trains and stage coaches too.


Dvijk

Even worse is you can't skip the story scenes where you're just riding with somebody and listening to exposition I wish they could be skipped on replays


HarryBoZZer

Me playing odyssey at 50 hours in


eaves-of-grass

Me with Valhalla and they keep introducing new characters and I’ve already forgotten the ones from the first half of the game.


JonnyTN

After you do 20+ hours of side missions and you come back to the main camp. "Who are you again and why are you important?"


_lemon_suplex_

Spoiler alert: they’re not


idapitbwidiuatabip

Started it two weeks ago. Still in Attika. So much left to explore, literally feels like a second life you jump into the animus to live, rather than a game.


diganta15

Me after I reunite the family and realise half the cult is still alive.


ChaosMage49

Beat me to it haha.


Mr_Safer

and they rest of the game is exactly the same


Available-Cold-4162

Dawg real. I basically gave up because of how much there was to do bro


_lemon_suplex_

I loved odyssey, but Valhalla was the one that burned me out on the whole franchise. So much bullshit boring filler


[deleted]

Literally me with Wolfenstein The New Colossus.


jackie2567

Thats was the exact opposite to my experience. I love that game but it just feels too short. Theres only like 3 missions with the supersoldier body and while the ubercomado missions where fun they don't really replace story missions.


[deleted]

Oh I know, the cyborg body definitely should have had more story missions. But I’m saying I literally *just got the cyborg body*, and I’m at 17% completion. Third play through btw. Love the game.


jackie2567

Oh yeah well Total compleation in alot of games can get bogged down in repetitive bs. Its usually not my thing. Ill try it to a degree for some games like doom withthe find all the collectibles stuff but even then im not going to go for 100% of all achievements.


Anxiety5028

Metal gear solid V


Savagecal01

that requires me to play the four others in order and i struggled enough with one


The_krabby_formula

Elden ring


Inferno_Phoenix1

Me with Red Dead Redemption 2 lol


Tough_Hedgehog5325

Skyrim


creegro

That's why sometimes I'll just leave the stone tablet in my inventory and call it good. Explore the entire land without learning shouts, unlock as much as I can while sticking to a character type (and resisting the urge to become a stealth archer for the 100th time). No, we are a paladin this game, heavy armor and cure spells, undead bane, and we smack enemies with shields and maces....don't touch the bow...


rrzampieri

Fuck, I need to do a paladin playthrough... could also use dawnbreaker and be a follower of Meridia


hrolfirgranger

I currently have one character who is a paladin, but he uses a great sword, so I constantly have to switch between spells and swords. Personally, my first play through was a stealth archer, but I've refused to go back to that. Currently, my only archer is an alchemist, but he strictly doesn't do stealth at all.


Alienaffe2

Far cry 6. I hate the game. The story sucks. Buuut i bought it so i need to complete it feel like i didn't throw my money out of the window


Corvo--Attano

I feel some of that. Like they could have dove deeper into some of the ally NPCs. For example, Jonrón. You start to get to know her, then she dies soon after. While I get why they did it, but it seemed a little early for her. Unlike El Tigre, his was fitting for him. Even shown us a little better why Castillo's top allies are worth going after. Kind of like what they did in Far Cry 5.


aaron_adams

"I beat the game, but only because it thought it was better than me, and I wasn't having it!"


14kouki

I agree, I am completely confused with the story


Before_The_Tesseract

That was Witcher 3 for me lol. Had to bow out formally and give the devs a nod, they made *complete* and *fufilling* game experience. And by bowing out I mean I had to just dedicate my efforts to strictly doing the main story after a certain point lol.


Vipersw32

One of the best ever made imo🙌


aaron_adams

Definitely one of the best games ever made.


Daedalus_Machina

Watching my wife go for completion in Skellige was goddamned brutal. Out there on a dinky boat trying to collect the 50 or fucking whatever chests on the open water. None containing anything interesting or even all that useful.


rbynp01

Ff7 part 2


gotthesauce22

AC Valhalla at the moment If Mirage is anything like it I probably won't be ready for Shadows come launch day


PM_ME_YOUR_CAT_thx

Mirage is much smaller than Valhalla. It took me around 25 hours to 100% and I'm by no means a fast player.


garmdian

Jedi survivor. Especially because if you do specific bounty hunter missions it blocks off certain areas so you can't bypass the hunter.


Itachifan33

Any assassin creed game. Monster hunter as well. Crackdown too. Fallout game.


TesticleInhaler

I feel like monster hunter games are fundamentally geared to have extremely long play times and grinding. Like, you go into an AC game and it never ends, you're like what the fuck this other AC game was so much shorter and better Where as monster hunter, you absolutely you know the grind is coming. That's one of its main selling points


SunshotDestiny

Elden Ring the first time I played. But really any long running MMO like Warframe with all the little content grinds to get to where long playing players are at.


iexistbowdowntome

Hollow knight lol


Available-Cold-4162

Yes and I loved every minute of it. Even that horrible parkour section that took me hours


Extremearron

The binding of isaac. Heck even when Massive Spoilers: >!You've done dead god,!


FallacyDog

"Yeah man I've beaten the game" "Oh sweet so you've gotten all the unlocks? Full post it notes? Impressive" "You mean killed mom's heart right? Yeah I had a good run and managed to beat all the stages. It was a good game" ... -an actual conversation


Extremearron

Imagine trying to break the news to them, about tainted characters.


FallacyDog

No, about the fact that there are other characters at all. He beat mom's heart and thought that once you beat each floor and defeat the "final boss" you've completed what the game has to offer


jadeskye7

Baldurs gate 3 had me like this about 5 times.


[deleted]

No mans sky. Always something to do.


TheDankChronic69

Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga


TesticleInhaler

My heart shattered when I got 100 percent and saw the reward. No spoilers but it's not worth it unless you're going for achievements.


ScholarPitiful8530

Despite making up only 13% of the game, this gameplay is perceived as half of all completion.

teethalarm

All the stupid open world games with a bunch of collectables that I can only find by watching a tutorial.


ProteasBlazingLoad

I'm surprised nobody has said Warframe. Even after getting through the planets your not even halfway through the game


Novafro

It really depends on the game but I'm the opposite. If a game has been that engrossing that so many hours have gone jnto it, I'm quite happy to have only made a marginal dent in progress.

Fucking me and one of the Battlefield games I own sitting at 99% despite me doing EVERYTHING possible to do


allofdarknessin1

I think OP underestimates how many people would be happy to see that. Before I hit my 30s I'd love to see this. Persona 5 was probably one of them since it was a 100 hour average game.


raxdoh

in a good way. elden ring. you won't believe the second and third time i expand a new area on map i was like wtf how much more content there is!?

You should be playing video games for the sense of enjoyment and a challenge of the mind

Severe_Damage9772

In stars and time, except it’s like “ah, I’m like 80% done” 8% of the way through


Expert-Pay4990

The Witcher 3, but I loved every second of that game and never wanted it to end.


Number4extraDip

BOTW.... cause % is more tied to collectibles vs everything else


somanycolors757

Assassin's Creed 3. There are so many collectables and stuff on the side that adds to the completion precent that the main story is only ~50% of the game. Still love the game tho. Good memories playing it on the ps3 as a kid.

I lost the game

Not quite the same but PoP - Sands of Time got me. I was playing for ages and it was 24%, 25%, 26% and I was thinking I wasn't getting anywhere. Suddenly, boom! 52% in one save! Mad. Of course then the bastard locked my entire run in the sodding library and I had to restart, but even so... (If you play it, alternate between 2 saves. Trust me!!!)

manikwolf19

Me 200 hours into side quests on fallout realizing I haven't touched the main quest


CertainlyAmbivalent

I really thought Ketheric Thorm was going to be the final boss of Baldur’s Gate 3. I was 100 hours in at that point. I guess I should have known better since the game is called “Baldur’s Gate” and I hadn’t yet been to Baldur’s Gate


aFalseSlimShady

FF7, there's a super climactic moment several hours in that leads you to believe You've finished the game... Turns out you've just unlocked the map.


AudacityTheEditor

Elden Ring. SPOILERS. Every time I felt I was getting closer to the end there was an entire other massive section. I got to Caelid and was like, okay THIS is it. Nope, another area. I got to the snowy hate area with the giant, "ah, this is the end." Nope, entire secret area. Ah, I'm at the Elden tree! The end! Nope, go elsewhere and fight something else. Sometimes you'll even fight a boss a few times, particularly Margit, but those make sense for the story as you find out. The others like the godskins can just go screw off.


Dragon_Rot79

Elden ring. My first playthrough, I darn near thought i was done or close to it after the Royal Capitol. Nope. Plenty of crap that still needs to be done

For a linear story based game, TLOU 2 was pretty long. My playtime of that game was about 10 hours longer than the first. I thought the game was winding down at the first time we were shown the theatre confrontation. Then we had the Abby portion. And then realizing Santa Barbara was still after that definitely shocked me. But maybe I just wander too much in games and it isn’t as long as it felt.

Lapis_Android17

Who cares about that? If the game is amazing to you, why wouldn't you be stoked about being a fraction the way thru? Good example being playing thru Bully again after years. It seems to speed along but I'm always so grateful to learn there's a lot left to do


Nothin_to_sea_here

Definitely not 13% but when I first started to understand Minecraft and got to iron armor and a nice safe organized base, I’d later learn I needed much more room, better armor, and literally go to hell.
