I think the type of game really makes a difference. Games with fetch quests, a laundry list of waypoints on a map, and tons of bland cutscenes in between simple gameplay put me to sleep now.

Challenging games keep me better occupied, because it's fun to be solving a puzzle of some sort (even if that puzzle is "how to approach this boss"). Strategy and tactics are consistently fun for me too.

    This is why I have such a soft spot for From Software games. I don't care if I have to die 30 times trying to cross a bridge it'll still keep me engaged trying to figure out a way or just mastering the technique rather than play another Assassin's Creed tailing mission for 30 minutes following some braindead ai.

    I have a habit of playing those for a few days and then becoming so enraged I put it down for a year. I actually just picked PS3 Demon's Souls to finally get platinum.

    The frustration is understandable and I don't blame anyone for rage quitting, on that note I admire your courage to actually pick up Demon's Souls. May your controller have the fortitude to accept your wrath and remain whole.
