So, Doom and completing games
Yesterday I finished Doom. No, not Doom Eternal, just Doom(2016). And I am happy that I did, the game is good and satisfying, but I just wanna talk about why it took me so goddamn long. I think I began playing it sometime in 2016, but took until now to finish it. All that time I was recommending it to everybody I know, but I still couldn't find the motivation to finish the game. Since Doom Eternal started making the rounds in the news and reviews and whatnot, I've been thinking about why I took so long to finish this not too long game that I enjoyed playing. Because honestly that is surreal. And I think I figured it out, but I will take the long way to explaining it. Today (and historically, actually) games frequently feature lots of secrets and hidden things and achievements and whatnot. When you collect all those, you get a 100% completion rate or something along those lines. I know myself. I gave up on all that back in 2011 when Skyrim came out. It just saps all enjoy...
