For some reason as soon as I get to the “end” of the game, I completely lose motivation to play. This happened with DOOM: Eternal, Sekiro, Bloodborne, Paper Mario TTYD, Cassette Beasts, Shovel Knight, Oblivion, Baldur’s Gate, God of War, Mass Effect… Pretty much every game I’ve ever played. It’s like the fun part was the journey, and I’ve seen everything the game has to offer, and I just don’t really enjoy the ending process. Feels like a formality at that point.
This kinda happened to me with Breath of the Wild. Beat it, then started the master quest and got again to Ganon. Just couldn’t hit him enough to overcome the health regen. Put it down. Years later, Tears of the Kingdom came out. Then the switch 2 came out. Have not picked it back up since. Just can’t bring myself to do it.
Speaking of, in Tears of the Kingdom I did literally everything except even engage with Canon. Just… stopped there.
Same. I have a thing where I like to complete everything i can in a game before beating the final boss. I discovered the Master Quest, and then nothing would do but to beat that first and roll up to Ganon a god. Bashed my head against that wall for a while then put it down. Cue the second half of your first paragraph.
DSLR King, Canondorf 😈
Lol, leaving it.
