Hehe I know exactly that feeling! Honestly I found the same with Skyrim, GTA5 and Witcher 3 - I can't imagine spending 100+ hours on a game like that, knowing I'll probably not finish it! I know it's irrational but I'm the same. :)
I loved Disco Elysium and Life is Strange 1 because I truly did feel that I left no stone unturned in my playthroughs - it felt very "complete" and had such a satisfying ending that didn't leave me wandering around a progressively more empty hand world.
I guess that's a type of game preference - I love watching other people play big games like that, but can't do it to myself as I feel it's never "done." :)
And yet... I'll play a wrestling game for probably hundreds of hours, knowing fully beyond unlocking everything, there's a game I can't "finish" - weird really! :)
Funny you should mention Disco Elysium and LiS! I loved Life is Strange because it felt very purpose-driven and really led you into a clear direction story-wise. On the other hand, I feel like I'm one of the three people who didn't bother to finish Disco Elysium :D I tried and tried to like it for more than 15 hours of playtime, but in the end I had to admit that its dialogue is too lengthy and that it felt a little too slow story-wise, for my taste at least!
That's interesting, as I remember not being immersed in Disco Elysium the first time I tried it too! I found it pretty tedious, but eventually the plot lurched forwards after I'd done a few main quests, and I wound up playing it all night sometimes! :)
Damn I miss being able to play a game through a night until the sun comes up, that was nice :)
