Fact: I already have more games than I can play.
I'm probably trying to finish about ten different games, right now. Maybe I should just save my money BUT my sister gave me a Gamestop gift card worth the price of one free video game. If they're still having a "Buy Two Get One Free Deal" like I saw online, I may just get three more. Problem is, I don't know exactly what I want. I'm kinda Luke Warm about all of these titles. But here's the arguement for each of them:
- Vanquish: A game I was really hyped for until I found out it was really short. I did enjoy Enslaved despite its short length so I think I'll get my money's worth out of Vanquish. Plus, the short length means I may actually finish it. And for the low, low price of FREE, I won't feel ripped off.
- Star Ocean: The Last Hope: Soriku made a thread about some JRPG that made me REALLY want a new JRPG. I did some research, and despite the awesome reviews for Tales of Vesperia, the JRPG women wern't hot enough. Star Ocean Internationla wins out. Problem is, when I play a JRPG and get into it, I don't play anything else. Should I commit to that right now? PS3 version is only $17 and offers more content than the 360 version. Anybody play Folklore or White Knight Chronicles? I was debating them, too.
- Castlevania Lords of Shadow: A game I really wanted to see succeed. Is the story good? I already know the production values are great. I didn't really like the demo but then again, I didn't like the God of War 3 demo and I wound up loving that game (and I STILL need to finish GoW3--just got all three games in the series a few weeks ago). Is it worthy of purchase?
- Red Dead Redemption: I didn't really enjoy Grand Theft Auto 4. Did Rockstar regain their mojo? I've read reviews and this game looks like the second coming--but I just can't muster any excitement for it. Maybe that will change if I actually played it. I really liked GUN on the PS2 and this looks like an improved version of that game. Anybody?
- New Super Mario Bros. : Got this game on day one and my kid lost it (after I completed 100% of the objectives, too!). Should I just stick with the sure thing or try something new? We did just buy a brand new DSi. It would be ashamed if it didn't get to taste greatness......
- Donkey Kong Country Returns: Another game that I know I should Really want but I'm just not as excited as I should be. Is it as frustrating as they say? It lacks sexy women (which is a plus in any of these games). I've played and beaten every other Donkey Kong. How does this stack up?
Or should I just save my card for some of the PS3 exclusives coming out in 2011? There are too many great games coming out in 2011 for the PS3. *Shakes fist* Curse you Sony for making us buy so many great games! We're all gonna go broke buying all of these great games!!
I hate being "that guy" that can't pick out his own games. I just can't decide. Maybe I'll get three if Gamestop or somebody has a deal going on. And whatever I get, I'm getting in the next six hours.
