Exactly, "I hate the grind", "The boss/sub boss fights are too hard", "I only have so many hours in a day".
Some days I barely have an hour to play a game, sometimes I think maybe, just maybe, I could use a bot/AI to get a little more done while I'm doing those tedious life things, then I think "What's the point if I don't do it myself?"
That's a game selection issue IMO. Busy people shouldn't play games they don't have the time to get invested into. AAA design and marketing has pushed this idea that every game has to be this big 100 hour open world RPG narrative adventure, but there's so much good stuff out there that's over in less time or doesn't demand huge play sessions.
Right. I mostly buy Indy and, I guess, AA games like Arizona sunshine and metro awakening, 6 - 8 hrs of story driven game, I have elder scrolls (not oblivion but the one that they have remade/rereleased like 6 times, only got half way through that as I kept forgetting what I was doing lol)
Skyrim?
Dammit, how did I not remember that name. The only 2 names that would surface were oblivion and TESO. TY
