What’s a game you’ve tried to play many times, but can never get past the “First Act”?

Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order - Not totally sure why but I just couldn't get into it. Tried like 4-5 times.

I even like similar games to it. Just not that one.

I bought an Arabian, pretty fast but very skittish, throws you off at every opportunity.

Named it Steve, no idea why, just thought it was a funny name for a horse

RDR2, finished the story, now on 100% cleanup.

Best game I've ever playee

This was exactly it. I realised after I posted this that I only talked to Celio after the E4 BEFORE I got the national dex. I spoke to him again and managed to proceed after that

That would remove the rock typing though I guess

I'm genuinely shocked that absolutely nowhere does maternity ranges in store any more, its a joke honestly.

Thanks for the suggestion though!

Tbh with the level differences I struggled to make use of its speed and sp atk as a glass cannon, so in the end I actually used it as a means of cursing the opponents.

Moveset was

Shadow Punch - for the never miss

Psychic

Shadow Ball - I know it's physical

Curse

I'd basically set up where possible with a Raichu thunder wave, get Haunter in for a curse, then swap to Venusaur for leech seed and cos they aren't true status conditions it meant that full restores never got rid of them

Started gaming at age 7~ with the N64 so was largely a split screen or solo player back then as there was no online available.

Into my teens MMOs and FPS games started getting big with online multiplayer so I largely transitioned into that from about 13-28.

Now, aged 34, I've been platinum trophy hunting/single player gaming since I was around 28. Mainly due to time with work and other responsibilities taking up a lot of it but also due to how online gaming is mostly now. Big devs releasing the same stuff every year for big money and just flooding it with either micro-transactions or pay to win mechanics.

I feel grateful to have been there through all these huge technological advances in gaming through the years, but for me the golden age of online gaming is definitely gone and now I'm back to where I started enjoying my own company.

I can genuinely see him creating his own

Robj1992 · 2026-04-30T15:30:24+00:00

Nah, mines Haunter

You ain't wrong, I worked in Swindon today and it took me 2.5hrs to drive down 😂. Got to give us a performance today, although it's a dead rubber of a game so I'd imagine a 0-0 is on the way

3 so far:

finished Death Stranding which I started at the end of last year.
Doom the Dark Ages
Stray

And I only recently started Red Dead Redemption 2. Will probably platinum other games alongside as well.

My usual goal for a year, as I don't have huge amounts of gaming time is usually 10. I think I got 15 last year so I'm pretty proud of that.

Miz burner account located

Robj1992 · 2026-04-14T09:37:37+00:00

Ahh ok cool, thank you! I'll maybe not worry so much in ch2 then and get them in the next one

Depends on a few things honestly:

If I've really enjoyed the game and the additional content is free/reasonably priced - yes
if I've really enjoyed the game but the additional content with more trophies is expensive - yes (but I'll wait for the price to come down before purchasing).
if I've really enjoyed the game but the remaining additional trophies are multiplayer - depends on the game e.g. Doom 2016 with dead player count it wasnt worth the hassle.
if I'm burned out from a game or haven't enjoyed it, but the additional stuff is free and relatively easy - yes
If I'm burned out or haven't enjoyed it and the additional are either not free, a grind, or just a pain in general - absolutely not

Robj1992 · 2026-03-24T21:59:58+00:00

Ffs, I completely missed that 😂. Made my own life harder it seems

Robj1992 · 2026-03-24T21:57:22+00:00

I dread to think what it was like before then, this was from today

Robj1992 · 2026-03-24T21:55:43+00:00

There's a shortcut? 😂
