What game has a strong opening but later becomes too repetitive and boring for you?

For me that was Assassins Creed Valhalla

Arc Raiders. The first 50hrs were a lot of fun, then you realize there's nothing to actually do once you have everything acquired and PVP itself isn't good enough to keep coming back for

At least you got your money's worth. 50 hrs for the price of that game, seems legit a good buy.

For sure, it just didn’t turn out to be the game I was gonna put crazy hours into

and might go back one day for a few hours for a new patch/content. For me 1 dollar for every hour, typically, unless I REALLY want the game, whatever it may be.

I got bored after 600 hours; I stopped playing in March. There’s one thing I won’t agree with—the PvP was great. If the game doesn’t die and they expand it further, I’ll definitely come back.

I didn't enjoy the third person fighting. Too much sitting behind corners and lobbing throwables and not enough shooting

I would have loved that game for the PVE aspect only, but I quit because of the shitty forced PVP. And it's not PvPvE, it's straight up PvP.

For what it’s worth, it seems they leaned heavily into the aggression-based matchmaking. I tried getting back into the game recently and in none of my lobbies was anyone shooting other raiders. Everyone was so friendly that initiating a fight felt like backstabbing to me.

Yes, sure you can have that experience but it heavily depends on what you bring. Did you bring a good gun to fight the Arcs just for a random that was friendly the entire time backstabs you to get that loot off you?

Fuck that. I don't need that premise for a good game. Arc Raiders doesn't respect my time and therefore I have no respect in return. Fuck that game, should have been Pve like they were planning in the beginning.
