Haha nice!
I am not a completionist at all. I go hunting for secrets if there is a motivation in the game to do it but have not 100% a game in a very long time.
I consider a game to be beaten when I finish the story and maybe some sidequests that I found interesting but I never push myself to collect things or going for alternate endings unless I really feel like wanting to. Basically when the credits roll I consider the game beaten but on a few ocasions I keep going after the credits roll.
Also, I beat Elden Ring on the Steam Deck from start to finish and it ran great, 0 issues. I loved it. One of the few games I kept playing after the credits roll

Exactly. I rarely play games that are released that same year. I have a full time job, a wife and a kid. If a game is too long and feels like a chore I drop it immediately.
I even sold my pc and got a steam deck because it was the only way I could put a few extra hours a week in games. I may not be playing games at 1440p144hz but at least I actually play them now

I have it on my list but have not gotten into it yet. Thanks for the recommendation.
I loved TLOU but I'm waiting for the PC release of TLOU part 1 to revisit it as I've heard it's great

I get what you mean and used to agree with it but my opinion has changed a bit with time.
I have not played either Stray or Dead Space for the record but I used to value games based on the hours it gives you and as I grew up and started having less time, I started taking into account the quality of those hours.
For example, most new assassin's creed games can give you hundreds of hours but for me it almost feel like a chore because of how repetitive and/or boring it can get so it ends up not being $60/70 for me and then I play a shorter indie game like Tunic or Death's Door and I feel that they are totally worth it.
My point is, I can't meassure games by hours of content anymore and sometimes even value shorter games more. Like eating a huge bowl of bland rice vs eating a very tiny dessert that blows your mind
Value is relative and a very personal metric so we can all have different opinions

I get it. Basically "take this exclusive deal and we'll give you a higher cut"

Wasn't epic's fee like 12% which was the reason a bunch of games were releasing there instead?

I don't understand that analogy. You pay $70 for lunch? It takes you 10 hours to eat lunch? Is it the price of 10 lunches?

In every single DBZ game I've played, it's always the entire story of DBZ
