My relationship with long videogames

@the_gamer_tavern

In the past I couldn't, for the life of me, commit myself to playing long games (i.e. 30+ hours) because I fell out of interest and dropped the game.

Lately I started playing two "long" (always keep in mind that this adjective is used by my perspective) games: Red Dead Redemption 2 and Mass Effect 1 (the legendary edition) and weirdly enough, seems like they're sticking with me because I'm alternating one or another throughout the gaming sessions.

I don't know if this pattern will be able to help me with other games as well or if it's just peculiar to those two specific games but I'm crossing my fingers ๐Ÿคž

Have any of you had a similar experience?

I have tonnes of unfinished games - sometimes there's a difficulty spike three quarters of the way through, and I don't have the time to invest in passing it, or you're too busy to play for a while and then can't remember what was going on or what you were doing next - and also, as you say, you can just get bored of one for a while.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is an exception for me. I stopped playing that because the next mission is to rescue someone from prison, and I didn't want to. I occasionally start it up to go hunting or fishing etc.
