You and me both.... $60 a game too much for me($60 a week, $2880 a year. wow). almost week after week new games I wanted, more and more money spending that I don't even have for more important spending things like bills. not to mention I don't even have the time to play all of my games that I already have.


You seem like someone with little trophies (your gamercard) im not sure if its up-to-date but if not try to platinum alot of the games you have so far

if you get into it you can get ALOT of fun out of 1 game and the platinum trophy in the end will make you realise you completed it.. that could mean you could sell it again for a nice amount of money (but only if you want to)

 

both the to much money spending and to much games buying fixed? :D

Honestly, going for that 1000G or Platinum in games for the most part isn't fun and feels tedious. A lot of achievements/trophies are basically boring grinds and are just there as a substitute for real replay value. Every time I see someone playing through a level and be all like "oh I gotta replay, I didn't kill the boss this way or I didn't pick up this collectable. Now I'm gonna miss the achievement/trophy", I feel like slapping them. Why not play the game as you normally play it instead of obsessing over killing a boss in a certain way or collecting this and that or whatever? Achievement/Trophy design could be a lot better than it currently is. I absolutely love Crackdown but there's no way I'd be crazy enough to go for the 500 agility orbs and 300 hidden orbs achievements (the game does have a lot of neat achievements though but not those one). There are better things to waste your time on.

And online achievements/trophies are killing online multiplayer. People playing online with acheivements/trophies in mind rather than playing for fun.

I have never really into the achievements or trophies that's why I didn't have much. ...I just play when I had the time, if not I'd just play online and be done with the days or nights. it's like I love buying the games more than playing. kinda like that.
