    What type of games is this about? Like gacha games that are just gambling? Or mmos that are a social addiction? Or Dark Souls which is awesome except for the frustration which is an important part of it.

    I can’t think of any other options. For anything else you should just drop the game and play something else. And you shouldn’t play gacha games at all.

      It’s actually pretty wholesome when you hear him explains about it. We all love a few challenges every now and then!

        Ok, that wasn’t what I expected. He makes good points.

        FWIW, Dark Souls 1 was absolutely worth the pain. I consider that 1st playthrough one of the best gaming experiences of my life. It also ruined Skyrim for me because the combat in Skyrim is so unsatisfying after the Dark Souls experience.

        Trying to think of a game where my experience matches the video though. If I play a great game and then find it boring after X hours, I just stop playing. My past is littered with unfinished games.
