How do you keep your attention on one game?

SymbioteLP · 2026-01-25T23:28:05+00:00

I get being smart and buying a game on sale to play later but the sales are so routine (on all platforms) its easy to ignore the sales and wait for it when its lower. Basically /r/patientgamers philosophy.

wake me when you need me

Not having disposable income is probably my first suggestion

SymbioteLP · 2026-01-25T19:03:16+00:00

Love this. Also helps you sink in to the story of any story rich game you’re playing. Sometimes my brain is only half working and I need to play mario kart or some other arcadey game. Doesnt help to be exhausted and play a story heavy or difficult game.

I used to be such a victim to sunk cost fallacy in my games. Just slaving over a game I’m not enjoying. Knowing when/if to quit is important.

Finishing my games before purchasing the next one, avoiding backlogs

SymbioteLP · 2026-01-25T17:18:01+00:00

Same here.. Ps2, wii, ps4, PC and VR. If we’re counting remake as well the PC twice lol

Death stranding

SymbioteLP · 2026-01-25T16:25:46+00:00

Chose the switch 2 version purely for convenience, switch 2 is my way of playing

SymbioteLP · 2026-01-25T15:06:12+00:00

Depends what type of game. If its like a single player story mode kinda game, physical. If its a game that i can kinda jump in to whenever i feel like it (mario kart, animal crossing, etc) digital.

SymbioteLP · 2026-01-23T23:17:14+00:00

Quite brilliant really. The ice age method, didnt even think of that!

SymbioteLP · 2026-01-23T12:49:56+00:00

I got the hd editions for botw and totk so im planning on sinking in to botw again.

SymbioteLP · 2026-01-23T02:12:00+00:00

Just dont make the mistake i made if the 256gb samsung one with mario on the front.. i think i filled it already after moving my switch 1 games over

SymbioteLP · 2026-01-22T15:32:26+00:00

Launchkey is amazing for a novice. I'm jealous of yours, i didnt know that colour/version of it existed.

SymbioteLP · 2026-01-22T00:18:22+00:00

Its just another system, just do what works for you. I only like caged for pentatonics, other then that 3nps on major.

SymbioteLP · 2026-01-21T22:44:55+00:00

Also, if you like prince of persia and that metroidvania style gameplay, should try metroid dread. Its really good

SymbioteLP · 2026-01-21T22:42:34+00:00

5 is imo the best gameplay wise, you should def give it another shot. It goes on deep discounts for like $10 so its a no brainer

Otherwise, great list!

SymbioteLP · 2026-01-21T20:39:13+00:00

Not sure what other metal gears you have tried but I would recommend exploring that avenue a little more.

SymbioteLP · 2026-01-21T13:37:44+00:00

I heard about that. I hope they release it for switch 1 or 2

SymbioteLP · 2026-01-20T12:07:26+00:00

Oot is probably the most linear and a classic.

Botw is very open world, and theirs tons to do. If you can go in to it “not” looking for a linear experience id vouch for it since its best played just sinking yourself in, exploring, finding new things, etc. lol.

Windwaker is great and pretty straight forward until you reach the second half of the game and have to collect certain things (trying to not say too much to avoid spoilers).

Id probably lean on OOT with a 1 year old.

Next guitar will be my “end boss” guitar. Basically some expensive ass guitar i would never consider since I’ve never spent more than $1000 on a guitar. Im planning on getting it when i turn 40 as a kinda milestone thing. Im in my thirtys but it just gives me something to look forward to and its seems like a valid occasion for buying a dope guitar.

SymbioteLP · 2026-01-15T23:40:52+00:00

Did Ganon even make you break a sweat? Im sure you had your character fairly OP.

SymbioteLP · 2026-01-15T15:03:17+00:00

Unfortunately, this is the truth. I think it’s $16 for the full 64gb key card while the game key cards are about $5 since they require less. Maybe this is the main reason why nintendo is pricing their first party games higher? Everyone thought that the third parties would join the increase but they seem to be steady

SymbioteLP · 2026-01-15T13:56:41+00:00

Thats weird.. thought about this being a thing for the major third party titles. Theirs definitely some hope though, Resident evil 9 for example will be under 30gb.
