    Performance issues I understand, but wah wah I spent 100 hours and now I’m bored is kinda absurd to complain about.

      this seems to be a thing gamers complain about more and more with these games that aren’t live service games but receive updates for a year or whatever. i saw it happen a lot with animal crossing new horizons, or it still happens that people are mad it doesn’t get updated 5 years after its release.

      a consequence of the live service game model I guess

      My friend is like this. It’s like, they want everything to be a never-ending MMO. There’s a whole online culture of patchnote influencers for games like this. For fighting games I could get it, but for something that’s like singleplayer/online co-op like Monster Hunter is so fucking bizarre. Like an alien reading music lyrics as non-fiction writing or something.

      Edit: oh, TheSpectreOfGay already said this.

        The MMO open world loot box 4k hyperrealistic graphics AAA+ games are truly the bane of existence. I play a lot of older rpgs and 60-70 hours of gameplay is like the perfect amount. I lose actual interest if it goes for too long.

        With around 130h DAO ultimate was actually the longest linear game I have played and even then I was kinda glad it was over by the end.

            Yeah when I think AAA I think Ubisoft games like Assassins Creed, Far Cry or Sony 3rd Person games like God of War or Last of US. Most of which aren´t MMOs or really lootbox games.

            (Not saying there arent popular games with problematic gameplay systems one just needs to look at gacha games and many mobile games)
