Guilt, gaming and the "too many games" syndrome

Re: Guilt, gaming and the "too many games" syndrome

So far only picked up The Show. I've resisted the urge to get FIFA's WC game.

Trying to not get RDR, UFC and Rock Band Green Day, but I know I will cave and get at least one of those.


Only for sure purchase this year is NCAA 11.

Ive done really well since ive read his thread a couple months ago but i got the itch a few weeks ago and bought ssfIV and a $140 fighting stick lol. Since then ive played the game maybe 8 times lmao. I bought rdr too but im just one mission away from finishing it and its been great so im fine w that. Ill prob get the soccer bug during the world cup bu i already have pes 10 and pes 6 (my all time fav soccer game) so i think ill just play those.

Re: Guilt, gaming and the "too many games" syndrome

I've done well until lately. As I speak I have Modnation Racers and Split Second sitting at home unopened. And I'm only about 60% through GOW 3. I did finish Heavy Rain but I need to go back through and rewatch some of the endings again.

Re: Guilt, gaming and the "too many games" syndrome

Well it's starting to happen again, lots more good games coming out and I fear i'm going to fall off the band wagon, anyone else?

I just got gamefly to hopefully help the problem a little bit. I bought RDR and I may trade in a few games to get Super Mario Galaxy 2, but I figure I can rotate between those two, games I have wanted to get back to, and whatever 2 games I may be renting at the time. Alan Wake and Just Cause 2 are here/will be here monday.

Re: Guilt, gaming and the "too many games" syndrome

I admit that im a gamer. I grow up on games, how why stop now.

My I dont by new games, the money rotation never comes my new when a new game cmes out. I think the only game i bought new was COD4.

Re: Guilt, gaming and the "too many games" syndrome

I defiantly played NCAA for 3 hours on Saturday, despite having all these new and/or relatively unplayed games. This is what I meant by guilt, I was sitting there playing and thinking "what are you playing this game for when you have games x,y and z that you've hardly played??" and I just told the voice to shut the heck up!! LOL

Re: Guilt, gaming and the "too many games" syndrome

Who would have ever thought I'd be playing less games than most of you.

With only one system to buy stuff for, and only playing a few games at a time, I've had more fun gaming this year than in a long time

Re: Guilt, gaming and the "too many games" syndrome

Gamestop is running the 25% orders of $100 or more deal. (new games/online only.) Not bad if you're considering buying a few new games this week, and you don't mind waiting for shipping. You can add on another coupon for free shipping. I might get FFXIII, Mario Bros Wii, & The Show (PS2) for $93.

Re: Guilt, gaming and the "too many games" syndrome

My problem is that I'm playing sports games, but on the inside I want to play other games, but I guess I'm addicted. For example, I got BF:BC2 on release day, but it was college basketball season so I was playing NCAA Basketball. When I finished, I went to play BF, and I love it. (HUGE BF fan been playing on PC for a long time) But for some reason, I keep going back to sports games.

Re: Guilt, gaming and the "too many games" syndrome

Way too many good games out right now. After Skyrim comes out, that'll be like 6 Blockbusters in the last month!

Re: Guilt, gaming and the "too many games" syndrome

It was not too long ago that I was complaining that I didn't have any games to play. That didn't last very long.

Re: Guilt, gaming and the "too many games" syndrome

My gaming library is becoming cluttered once again. I need to trade some games in, so I won't think about them anymore.

Re: Guilt, gaming and the "too many games" syndrome

This month is ridiculous:

Battlefield 3 (ok, tecnhnically last month but I'm still playing the hell out of it)
Uncharted 3 (Campaign finished, but multiplayer awaits)
MGS HD Collection (picked up today)
Chrono Cross (Can't-miss PSN download)
Skyrim

Fortunately I hadn't made any major game purchases before that since Madden - I knew long in advance that I was going to take it on the chin this month.
