I do this on specific games honestly. Anything Atlus gets that treatment unless I have to put it higher. But something like Kingdom Hearts after experiencing it in critical I'm not going back on any new entry.

I get that honestly. I used to be like that and almost lost a dear friend because of it. They gave me many chances when they shouldn't have and were starting to believe I wouldn't change. But I stopped, self-reflected on my stupid actions, and changed for the better for them.

Hmm, how about you do take a break. And how about when you decide to play it you do so on March 31st. Why that date in particular? Haha good question. Lol but seriously though do what you feel is right.

I'm also basing this on my experience with these franchises as well as attachment.

Oh I'm perfectly fine lol
