Yes, my strategy is giving up. I have a tremendous backlog of games on Steam, each with 30m to and hour of playtime. Now, I realize that this isn't fair to some games, but in general I will say that a game should grab you in the first hour. Usually either the story or the gameplay itself will do it. But I've been playing games long enough that I think I've pretty much "got it" in an hour. I figure out the gameplay loop or I've seen the story before, and I don't really NEED to play the game.
There' some old quote I probably learned from Civ3. Some books are meant to tastes, others chewed and spit out, and very few swallowed and consumed (or something like that).

Pretty much the same for games.
