			<description><![CDATA[I just finished my first playthrough of the new RPG everyone's talking about, and I'm honestly a bit let down by the endgame. The final boss felt more like a gear check than a test of the skills I'd built up over dozens of hours, and the loot grind after the credits rolled was just repetitive. I'm wondering if anyone else felt the same, or if I just missed something about the post-campaign loop.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I just finished the main story of the new RPG everyone's talking about, and I'm honestly a bit let down by the final boss fight. It felt more like a long, flashy cutscene than an actual challenging test of everything I'd learned, which left the whole ending feeling kind of hollow. Did anyone else find the lack of a proper mechanical climax a bit disappointing?]]></description>

How did you all structure your time after the credits rolled?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I've been trying to get into more story-driven games, but I keep hitting a wall with ones that have really slow openings. I just spent two hours on what's supposed to be a classic, and it's still mostly walking and exposition with very little actual gameplay or narrative hook. How long do you usually give a game like this before you decide it's just not for you?]]></description>

The world feels so dense now, but I'm worried that without that central narrative pull, just doing side gigs and police scanners might start to feel hollow. Has anyone else hit this point and found a good reason to stick around in Night City?]]></description>
