Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Do you buy games and not play them?

I know I do !

In the last year, I have COD5, Quantium of solace, ufc 2009, fifa 10 unopened, all bought as they were cheap or on offer

and then today I order the cheap batman and smackdown vs raw 2010

why, as they were cheap !

My male logic is, its only 25quid, half a night out or no new clothes for a night out... and the price will never drop to that price pre owned for ages ( apart from you ufc.....)

I think I need to set up some sort of game playing time table to get through them !

lmao, yes. ALL the time. as long as its not complete shovelware, i will buy just about anything if its on sale for a really good price, even if i have absolutely no intention of ever playing them.

last week I bought Fire Emblem for the DS for $10 and Devil May Cry 4, Lost Planet, and Deadrising as a 3 pack for $40. I'd wanna play 'em, but who knows if i'll ever get to them.



RE:4
LoZ:collector's edition (came with MK:DD)
Excite Truck
Starfox Adventures
Eternal Darkness
Shinobi (Master System)
Alex Kidd and the Enchanted Castle (MS)

and thats just off the top of my head

I tend to buy game and play them for an hour or so and then leave them for 6 months or more before putting in any serious time. I did it with Mass Effect and Fallout 3.

I still have Eternal Sonata, Oblivion, NGII, Too Human, BK- Nuts & Bolts, Rock Band, Lost Planet, TDU, Dynasty Warriors, Perfect Dark, Stuntman: Ignition, Splinter Cell: DA, GRAW and Just Cause all waiting to be played for more than 1 or 2 sessions.

I've just stopped playing FM3 because I finally pick up Halo 3 and want to beat the campaign on legendary, which may take a while.



i have killzone 2 and bioshock waiting for me... bought them in August... been playing other games that i have bought before them...



Proudest Platinums - BF: Bad Company, Killzone 2 , Battlefield 3 and GTA4

Oblivion's actually waiting for you to spend 100 hours of intense bonding with it. Now hop to it!



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

I don't, but I do it with some movies that I do own. For example I had the Mummy 2 for about three years before I watched it all the way through.



Hmm, games that's I haven't played yet. But I get around to it eventually. I finally opened my copy of Call of Duty 2, and 3 a few months ago and played/finished them.



Yeah - I am pretty much a collector. It looks sick have tons of games still in shrinkwrap and pristine.



i have many games that i played for less than half an hour lol
