I know some of you are completionists and it probably isn't a problem for you but as I get older I find it harder and harder to immerse myself in games to where i actually care about the story...so I keep going back to roguelike games or games with no real story...like say Civ 6 or sports games.
Thinking back, the last game I really cared about the story for was Starcraft 2 (all 3 releases) but probably because I enjoyed SC1 so much. I'm sure I'll enjoy the Diablo story when it comes out.
Like for instance, Chained Echos (recommended here, which i enjoy playing) i find myself just fast forwarding through the dialogs because it just doesn't seem interesting to me.
Maybe this is just an "I'm Old" post.....
i feel you... I have been gaming a long time and i definitely have lost interest in some things after a while everything is just a clone of something else or a mashup of 2 previous things.
If it doesnt have a great story or a Great gameplay loop its hard to stay invested. ones that have both are hard to put down
