Dying-Doctor Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Good music or podcasts, especially the history lesson ones, it keeps me from falling asleep while grinding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zadorvp Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I just focus on the grinding (although I'm not counting any "hold a certain button down" grinds for this though), there's no need for videos or music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acasser Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Slice it into manageable chunks. Instead of one huge grind, better to do a whole bunch of smaller ones. This way, I can play other games around the grinding in a single title. Also, try and make each of those micro-grinds have a particular goal to work towards. It's easier to handle from a psychological point of view if there's some sort of tangible progress being made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senbon Kaguya Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Ah, grinding. The bane of a lot of trophy lists.. well, I usually just keep going at it like I've been doing for quite a while. Though I do like to break it up when it comes to game a like FF XIII or Star Ocean.. just solely focusing on those grinds could cause me to get burned out and not want to touch the game for a while. Now if it's a Musou game like Dynasty Warriors, I'm hacking away at my enemies and everything while listening to badass music that's playing in the game so there's no problem there.

killivincent Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I put someone else do it, or take turns with my sister. I rarely grind myself dont have the concentration to do it, yes but music helps and optimistic thinking i guess Keep repeating yourself a mantra: It over soon, Its over soon or Even a small progress is a tiny step forward. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zenpai Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Still don't know how some people can watch videos and even TV episodes while playing. I guess I just have a really low tolerance for multitasking. I never play that long all at once (usually just 1h at a time), so I just keep grinding the same game until I'm done. I feel better knowing that I'm working really hard towards the one game and that way it'll be over sooner. Though when it's an exceptionally long grind, I put it away for a month or two, platinum a game or two in the meantime, and then come back to it. Only ever did it with Bayonetta, though (14 playthroughs to unlock everything was a bit too much, lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Chipotle Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I usually go for some music or gaming news on youtube, if its a game that requires to actually play it i go for different artist/bands i dont know to make the grinding different, and when its a game i just need to move one or two buttons, i watch sports related content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
