Do I like the game: i'll play the through main story
Do I really like the game: I'll complete the side stories (assuming they arent tedious)
I was never one to 100% a game and only did it for select games (one I did a bit of 100% hunt was 'untitled goose game').
My time is too much worth as to "waste" it on 100% a game. Nobody except for me will care about it.
Instead I'll invest my time into my homelab/home-network. That way get a higher sense of an achievement.
Regarding my play style:
I'll usually play one story at a time and if it's a multi part game I'll research beforehand how important the story before was.
Is it unimportant or too expansiv, I'll watch a summary or playthrough on Youtube. If it's up my alley, I'll play in chronological order.
As for how often:
I have my phases. Either YT binge watching, watching something from my media library or I'm tinkering with my homelab. Playing went to a backseat for me since I starte an actual job full-time.
