This is the reason I procrastinate finishing games, like I don’t want to be done yet! My gameplay loop 😭

Also why my average game completion hovers at about 83%

Wait, other people do this? I do this constantly unless the game is purely story and it’s closer to a movie than a game.

I’ve still never actually beat Skyrim but I have spent hundreds of hours scouring dungeons and looking for fun loot

I do it all the time. The deeper the gameplay (and the more I like it), the higher the chances that I won't finish it

I'm in one of those story hyperfixations now and I'm legitimately scared of it ending. Finding it was my solution to a terrible slump I got stuck in. I finished a great game that hit just right, but there was nothing like it to follow up with. Now I'm several months and hundreds of hours into a massive series and I'm going to crash so hard when it's over. But I don't want to slow down either, so I'm just enjoying it while I can and barreling towards my own oblivion.

83% is quite good. It should be totally playable at this point, wanna share?

They're playing games, not creating them.
