Grinding the campaign IS content.
Are there gamers here?
I'm wondering.
Difficulty settings, often with mechanical and enemy behavior differences & density.
Like Golden Eye or Perfect Dark?
Most action games. All ARPGs I've ever played.... Baldur's Gate... strategy and tactical rpgs.
Borderlands, you know when you're leveling you'll farm the same campaign boss over and over because you figured out how to nuke them in 25 secs?
The Witcher 3... I have every ending, played through every path... and a Death March (Scaling -where you'll never over level enemies) with no HuD before the 60fps update.
"New Game+".
"New Game++".
Grinding the Campaign IS LITERALLY COnTENT! In what 85% of every game?
Metroid-vania... grinding the campaign, Portal... grinding the campaign.
I blame micro plastics 😅, or have you all forgotten every game you played... ever?

I absolutely enjoy grinding/ replaying campaigns like that of doom eternal. Esp on higher difficulties. I’ve finished it on normal, ultra violence and no I’m doing nightmare. However doom eternal is one of the most engaging and intense shooters I’ve ever played, my hands are literally shaking after some fights and I can barely do my weapon swaps without botching them. On the other hand, d2 is NOWHERE near as engaging as actually good campaigns. Majority is just filler slop which is genuinely incredibly boring. It’s basically what you do while you have a second monitor up watching YouTube. Plus there aren’t that many ways to speed up or optimise stuff like capturing a plate for the millionth time. The tfs campaign was a bit more creative but still not replay worthy. Judging by the lacklustre quality of their previous campaigns and the snoozefest of the livestreams, I doubt it will be interesting enough to replay. Just a boring slog that is basically a chore.
