How long do you usually give a game before you bush it?

First couple of hours
If I buy a large AAA game I'll know whether I'll stick with it after about 10-15 hours. If I'm trying something on PS+/Gamepass it could be as little as 30 minutes, but in those scenarios you're kinda just trying random shyt vs doing a ton of research on a game before buying
honestly getting physicals off Amazon with their return policy is super clutch. You get like at least a month to return it so you always have that option if you want to try a game on sale and end up not liking it

I think the last game I truly dropped was Nioh after like 20 hours - I got tired of sweating.
But that was like 7 years ago, I appreciate Souls/Soulslikes alot more now post-Elden Ring. I'll revisit eventually.
Outside of that, if I'm confident enough to buy it, I'm seeing it through 99% of the time.

after about two hours, I know if I like it or not
I was playing remnant and as Im playing it and I felt my mood getting worse
someone here said it before,and its true; there isn't a reason to play mediocre games

I played remnant 2, the one everyone was going crazy about for like two hours maybe. I never wanted to play it again after that
the older yo get the more you just have to trust your own instincts on games

Last game I dropped was Forspoken and I gave it a good 8 hours because it was open world. Prolly knew 3 hours in that it wasnt it but I wanted to see if the combat opened up. It was bullet sponge hell and the combat wasn't rewarding....bushes
I'm on a pretty good streak of finishing games I've actually bought. Much easier to bush something you didn't pay for

No more PAWGs, PLEASE??!!!??
About 6 hours. If it doesn't click with me then it goes in the unbeaten pile.

Depends. If the game has a mechanic I don't like, I'm dropping it immediately. BotW was probably the quickest I dropped a game because of the terrible durability mechanic. Sword of Ditto is another one I dropped pretty quickly as well

According to the starfield thread, it take most yall 20 hrs minimum.
It depends on how much I spent on the game.
If its under 10 dollars, I give it around 4 hrs. If it doesn't grab me, I take months to finish it.
Full price games. I never by full price unless I've already played the game or seen hours of playthroughs. Cyberpunk, DragonAge, Harry games were the exceptions. I put 60 hrs in DragonAge and that was the "worst" one.
Free games/game pass. 20 minutes if that

movement controls is definitely a big factor. If i don’t like the way a game controls it goes in the garbage
its part of the reason i hate Days Gone.

Yeah, movement is going to be like 75% of what you'll be doing in over 90% of games, period. If that doesn't feel right to you, the game is going to be tough to deal with.

You can add a lot of FPS/FPV games to that list for that exact reason.
