Don't care about achievements play games till like 70% then drop them. If it stops being fun I'm done, finishing a game is never a requirement don't have time for that

I got to like 98% in RDR2 before I realized the gambling ones were going to be a giant pain in the ass. At that point I was in too deep to give up. I watched all 3 Robocop movies in one sitting and still didn't complete the last blackjack one. Eventually got it but that was a frustrating experience.

The truly infuriating part is there's likely lots of people out there that got them on the first try or by accident

Yea I was like looking for a solution online because I was like "there's no way you're just supposed to brute force this" and came across so many people that were like "no there's no trick but I got in like 30 minutes"

Yeah, play the story and sidequests but don't do any of the collectibles that are often necessary for 100%.

Yeah unless the story is good I'm rarely going to stick around for the last bit, which is usually just padding. Actually, good difficulty levels / other accessibility options have been a nice development.

Lets you turn down the volume on the gameplay so you can finish for the story.
