Guilt, gaming and the "too many games" syndrome

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

Speaking of Mass Effect, I'm VERY tempted to buy Mass Effect 2 despite only getting about 30-40% through the first one. How stupid is that? But I keep reading the thread about how it's so much more fun and more better and I'm severely tempted. If I can just hold out a week or two more then maybe it will pass. It's tough though! I will not cave! Ok, probably won't. Ok, hopefully won't...LOL

I have been caving hard.......but not for Mass effect 2. I hated the first sooooo I am not touching 2.

But I did buy

Bayonetta - 360
Darksiders - 360
Bad Company 2(preordered in Full) - PC
Alien vs Predator (Preordered in full) - PC

Waiting on
Dantes Inferno - 360
Brink - PS3
Backbreak - 360
UFC 2010 - 360
EA MMA - 360

hOLy cow man....well i have not caved in a while, i think the last game I bought was NCAA basketball 10 by EA. So it's been a good while. I agree with your next purchase, Dante's Inferno, that will be what I'll be buying next myself.

I am going to pick up Darksiders used and have rented Bayonetta for this upcoming weekend.

Bayonetta is the best game I have played in 10 years. Darksiders is really good once you get past the hour and half long drawn out tutorial.

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

Most of my gaming time is dedicated to sports games whether it be Madden, NCAA football or College Hoops 2k8. I still like my single player games, but I usually wait until they are dropped in price and never run out to buy them right away.

Right now, i have Fable 2, GTA4, Resident Evil 5, Dragon Age: Origins and Devil May Cry 4 for my "single player" games. The only one I've beaten is DMC4, with GTA4 about 80% complete, but I've had that for about 8 months now. The other three I haven't even started, but I haven't paid more than $20 for any of those titles, so I don't feel a lot of guilt about not getting to them yet.

When the time is right, I'll play through them al.

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

All of my gaming time has been with Modern Warfare 2. I'm totally hooked right now.

I have Batman: Arkham Asylum and NCAA Basketball 2010 still unopened along with Mass Effect 2 that I already had pre-ordered. I'm going to just get MLB 2K10 if it's any good, Bad Company 2 later on in summer, and NCAA Football 2011 and that'll probably (hopefully) be it for the year. I need to play catch up.

I love MW2 as well, i'm splitting my time between that and Forza with a dash of the football games thrown in right now.

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

Just finished Fable 2 last night, so now I can start ME2 this weekend! (RPG's I like to play one at a time). After ME2 its back to Fallout to play the expansions. I picked up the GOTY for $40 a few weeks ago.
Sports I'm playing a little Madden, NHL and NBA.
Other games I'm in the middle of are Ghostbusters, 50 Cent, Borderlands and L4D2. Riddick is still unopened

Next buy will be BF:BC2 in March

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

What about Aliens vs. Predators Pete1210? Not going to get that? That game was a classic on the PC years ago, I will buy that unless the reviews are bad.

Just don't have the time. I figure I will get lost in ME2 for a while, plus all the other games I'm trying to finish.
If Aliens is good I'll have to catch up to it later. Then there's Bioshock2 and SC:Conviction that I will try to wait on. Red Dead Redemption though I will probably buy right away.
ME2, BFBC2 and RDR, gives me about a month between games. Trying to pace myself.

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

Don't peek in the AVP thread then or you will change your mind probably pretty quick, LOL.

Well i finally ordered a new game, my first in 3 months! I ordered Bayonetta for the Xbox. I did rent it first and played it all day Sunday. can't wait to continue on this weekend.

Also, I probably will be buying a few games here upcoming, a lot of good stuff in Feb/March. So much for staying on the wagon I guess...

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

The only game I have played in the last couple of months is NHL 10. It's just that good. That will all change in a month with the release of a certain baseball game. But I'm lovin me some hockey right now.
