Same while playing Life is Strange 1. Sometimes I wish you could "rewind" time and experience the game for the first time again.
This reads like a jab at Remedy and if so, then I approve.
If the article was dumb, this post right here is some caveman level of bullshit, Jesus.
This is how I feel about Astral Chain. Had the game since launch and I'm refusing to play it through to the end because I don't want it to end.
Same. 300 hours played over nearly a 2-year period. If the game had more content, I'd happily have played another 300h.
Yep, sounds like a Kotaku article.
The feeling of not really wanting something to end? Sure, I get that. But to STOP playing? Erm... okay, I guess?
I also totally get that "coming home" feeling I, too, have for many games like in Gothic upon walking into the Old Camp. But everything has to end eventually, and for me, the ending and closure of a story or rather story arc in Control's case is an integral part of it. I just revisit and play again lots of games that usually have "zero replay value" because the experience was great.

I bought my wife the LEGO Hogwarts castle for her birthday earlier this year. She had never put LEGO stuff together before and really loved it. She loved it so much that she didn't want to finish, so it has been sitting on her craft table, about 90% complete, for a couple months. I don't get it, but to each their own.
I get it
This is exactly why I play so many games but finish so few.
I just don't want them to end and if I beat it, it's over. But if I don't, then it's in some limbo in my mind.
Screwed up sounding but so true. I've been trying to beat more games this year and have actually done it a little, but I really don't like them end sections of any game I love.
its like being in an interactive death march for something I love lol

I know what he means.
I am dying to press E and launch some shit at something..anything and see the hiss fly.

I've purposely put games aside to not beat them too quick, but it usually ends up being a mistake because I don't get back to it half the time.
NO
The door is still OPEN... I could go back ANY TIME....
It's narnia... It's Neverland...
I'll never grow up! NEVER!
This is what is referred to as Schrödinger's ending. I have suffered from this as well. I have played games to the near point of completion and then stop. In some kind of twisted quantum-fiable logic the game universe still lives on and also ends at the same time. It ends as I stop playing but I don't get to experience the often disappointing endings and can imagine events contiuing ad inifinitum.
Its kind of hard to explain but I do understand the article and can completely relate.

Never done this with a game, but I have with a few albums where I didn't want to overplay the tracks.
I still haven't watched the final seasons of Six Feet Under and Breaking Bad.
I've left Quadrilateral Cowboy, Doom, on their last level.
Control, the combat just feels so good
and love the psychological thriller narrative so far, I might do the same hearing what people say about the ending.
