Ah yes, addiction to mediocre games. My sister and I call this phenomenon the Dynasty Warriors Syndrome. I can't for the life of me describe why button mashing SQUARE SQUARE SQUARE TRIANGLE SQUARE SQUARE TRIANGLE TRIANGLE TRIANGLE over and over, and watching endless armies of idiotic AI walk directly into you without really attempting to fight you makes DW Extreme Legends 5 fall under any definitiopn of "fun." There's really no strategy involved once you level up your character, the voice acting is atrocious, 90% of the missions don't actually require you to follow your commander's orders as long as you kill enough enemies to keep them from accomplishing anything noteworthy (which is incredibly easy, as they all basically line up in front of you and pace back and forth for a good 3-5 seconds before attempting any kind of attack) and they hand out musou coins like candy on Halloween. Yet I still love it for some reason.
