The thing about not finishing games is very true. Simply look at achievement stats. Most games have a huge drop off in achievements earned after the first 25-50% of the game, with any achievement for completing the story of the game having a super small number of players who earned it. Even games that are easy as fuck and practically play themselves!

I absolutely want a game that I can sink 1000s of hours into. I do not want a game where I get bored half way tough because the dev clearly gave up or only the first 10 are fun.

only the first 10 are fun.

Or worse, a game where everyone keeps telling you that you need to put in 100 hours before it is fun.

Not to mention if you do the 100 hours and it turns out the culture is more toxic than Warcraft raiding.
