Nope

I Hate REMASTERS

I Hate PLAYSTATION PLUS

Around the Network

Thanks to Steam sales, easily dozens, maybe over 100.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

No, I'm not burgues, need to spend my money well



I use a spreadsheet to keep up with all of my games and the order in which I acquired them just so this sort of thing doesn't happen, but I still had NES Remix 2 slip through the cracks somehow, and so I wasted my Club Nintendo yearly reward on it. Luckily, I had a friend who didn't own it yet and had a birthday coming up, so it all worked out perfectly.



For me it happens all the time (lately):
- Shadow warrior (for some reason I got it twice)
- Mario Galaxy
- Starcraft brood war
- HAZE
- Wolefnstain TNO

Most surprising is when I search through my BluRay films/games I find sealed boxes.
Like: WTF? Where did that came from?

Ever since digital games became a thing, it's totally devalued and over saturated the hobby imo. We now have too many cheap little games, free games... it's just... too many.

Back when I was a kid in the 80's, when you got a game? Unless you were a rich kid or a spoiled brat, it was a fucking EVENT. You would jump around for joy, pop that thing in and play for days, weeks and even months mastering every little nook and cranny until you either beat it, or realized your skills weren't good enough.

Today that just doesn't happen and it's mostly due to getting free games or cheap indie games. You know that saying you always heard growing up about how even Christmas would get old if it were every day? 

That's what ios/android and Games With Gold/PS Plus have done. It's the same with streaming music and Netflix. The product is devalued and not appreciated like it use to be. There's nothing special about it anymore.



Yep, but now I forgot again what game I realised I had bought and forgot about it.

Yes. I have a tendency to buy games in advance on Amazon and then months later they appear at my doorstep.


LOL

 

Thats like, a gift from you to you.

 

I would like to have Amazon on my shitty 3rd World country...sigh.

I'm more of the "I thought I had bought that game" type.


I'm like "I wish I had bought that game" guy.



Sometimes I buy games, play them for a bit, but then switch to other games again. However, I play them later again, and I don't forget them, I just feel like playing something else.
