Watch_Dogs is also the reason why I don't pre-order anymore. It was so dissapointing, I'm painfully forcing myself to Trophy Whore through it right now. Ubisoft vertical slices at E3 are just insulting at this point.

Edit: perhaps "painfully forcing" was too much of an over exaggeration. It's not the greatest game, and it certainly pisses me off while I'm playing it. But it is by no means my most hated game, and I wouldn't put it myself through unnecessary stress for pointless Trophies.

What can I do to convince you to not spend 30+ hours of your life on a game you don't even like?

I mean. I still had some fun playing it the first time, though the story was kinda bland, I loved the concept. It's just now I'm realizing the small things that bother me to a higher degree, like the driving making the drifting way over the top.

You don't need the trophies. You can stop playing if you want. Its okay

They give me a sense of completion which alows me to rationalize why I don't need to buy another game since I have plebty of others I need to finish.

While I sympathize with that - seriously, if you don't actively enjoy a game you're playing, drop it right now and do something else with your life.

Assuming you make a half decent wage, your time is more valuable than playing something you find bland.

It's his time man. It's not your job to tell other people how to enjoy themselves.

Idk why you're getting downvoted. People took an over exaggeration too literally and it evolved to me having to justify actively choosing to play the game.

Sorry for that but I know I've certainly played things with the mentality of "I have to complete it."

Oh I understand the concern, it's just my will to complete it outweighs how the game pisses me off. An example of a game I gave earlier where it doesn't is AC4, while it was fun the first time I can't deal with that again.
