I know what you mean, it's difficult to engage yourself that way.
My biggest lesson that I learned from this is to take other peoples' suggestion on which games they recommend with a grain of salt and do my own research before buying a game, which I usually do but since GR2 was on sale for like $5 and someone here recommended it as a ps4 exclusive that I should check out, I decided to skip that step altogether and buy it.
The same thing happened with Bloodborne, seeing the way how most people have talked about it, I skipped the researching part and bought it straight up when it was on sale for $7 or something, but luckily I was able to get a refund on it.
