Oh, I remember when I committed to this. How naive I was.


I buy like 2-3 games a month and am not even close to having to buy the lame ones like Spongebob, Adventure time, Barbie, Hot wheelz, Ben 10, Funky Barn, etc.

 

How were you naive? It is possible, while at the same time not dropping your standards.


I think you also have to consider some things. First, most of those games you listed came out last year, and so I already owned some of them before the year started. Two, it isn't just about standards, it's about interest. I'm sure that 007 game is a fine game, but I have zero interest in it. I wouldn't be dropping my standards, but I'd be buying a game I don't want. Last, I don't want to force myself to buy a game just to reach a monthly quota. I definitely want to try out child of light, but I just didn't feel like it when it launched, and I wasn't going to rush in and buy it just to say I bought it before April was over. 

Then there are games like Splinter Cell, which I have a vague interest in, but at this point I wouldn't pay more than $20 for it, and since I buy my games digitally, that means waiting a bit. But that's what got me to buy Darksiders 2 in March.
