I would say 34 hours for me . If the game or tv show , movie etc . hasn ' t grabbed me in that timeframe , then I ' m not even going to bother . I don ' t really have a lot of free time to begin with , so I ' d rather play something I enjoy rather than force myself to enjoy it because the internet says it is . This is why I couldn ' t get into the Souls games . I tried all of them , played 45 hours of each but just found them tedious and difficult , and gave up . Honestly , my tolerance for complex games has gone down quite a bit . I prefer easy to pick up and play games these days . Recently , all I ' ve played is Overwatch and NBA 2 K because you can play them casually but they leave you with a lot of room to improve and develop your skill within the game . The exception to a large and complex game that I ' ve enjoyed recently is The Witcher 3 , which I absolutely adore , but that game ' s one in a million .
