Haven't been posting much of late as I've been in a Groundhog Day loop of Persona 5 Royal for just shy of a month now.
I'm notoriously slow at game progress as a general rule, fawning over game menus considering options, stopping to smell the roses & admire architecture when in the field, etc. To the point where I can confidently tack 1/3-1/2 on top of How Long To Beat estimates for any given title.
As such it may not come as a surprise that well over 60 hrs. in I'm just now wrapping up the 2nd dungeon (Madarame's Palace) waiting for him to flip and have a change of heart.
This is bad, bad, bad.
Well actually it's good, good, good as I'm having an absolute blast. But it seems to be at the expense of absolutely everything else. So no, even though I preordered BG3 for the free Deluxe Edition upgrade, it's looking like my calendar will not be open for 1.0 launch.
Unless it's a forever-game like CK, ETS2, Factorio, RimWorld, etc., I rarely stick with titles longer that 20 hrs., even those I thoroughly enjoy. Something about ADHD and an endless supply of new purchases and backlog titles keeping me constantly reaching for the new shiny.
So it's actually pretty exciting to have something on the table that's completely captured my imagination this intensely. Perhaps I'll "break the shrink-wrap" on BG3 & Starfield sometime around New Year's, lol.
Guess I didn't have, "Aaron D. will turn into Atlus fanboy overnight." on my Bingo card.
