    I thought it was just me. I get singularly focused on a game and it’s world and once I finish it, happy ending or otherwise, it’s the death of that world. I always finish a game though.

    This is why I don’t start a brand new game when I finish a game I love. I will go replay an older game to sort of reset, so I give the new game a “fair shake”.

    Ah, the researchers finally got around to playing Expedition 33 huh?

    Jokes aside, isn’t this also a phenomenon with finishing books and TV shows?

      I distinctly remember the depression people who loved the first avatar movies were in after it ended. There was even a forum for them.

      I’ve had the same thought. When I finish a really good, lengthy, book it feels similar to when you lose touch with friends.

    Same with TV shows. Finished scrubs again, got to end, turned it off and tried to figure out what was next. Sad times.

      That’s the case for me. The last game I’ve “completed” was a game where I can play through multiple different scenarios (Surviving Mars.) I have completed about half the mystery scenarios, and I love being able to replay it and have it be new all over again.

        Yeah, i know, I also don’t care about them but they are funny little statistical facts, like “only 20% of the people that played this game beated the tutorial” or “45% of the players didn’t play past the first chapter”.

    Years ago I played Dragon Quest XI up to the good point: where they time traveled and resurrected <character>. My PSN expired and I never finished it.

    Can someone please tell me if I did it right?
