He had already beaten all three of the game's story paths...and even though he had plenty of other games to play, he was still playing Fates. Not to replay the story or anything...but because he had created a goal for himself to turn every female character in the game into a maid. While it sounds silly...he was always in such a good mood doing this...and it finally dawned on me, which of us is in the right here? The one who's trying to play everything, or the one who's enjoying the games he's playing at that moment? I guess what this long sob story boils down to is...the way I was gaming wasn't working for me. I can't play every game out there, and it's ridiculous to assume otherwise. I deleted my entire backlog list on my computer...and honestly, I felt great after doing it. Now my backlog is literally "whatever I want play next." While I realize this means I have a ton of unfinished games out there...the feeling of freedom makes it more than worth it. |
I used to be someone who would preorder games so I could talk about whatever was fresh off the press. The Fallout games and Skyrim were some of the experiences that made me realize that I'd rather play something over and over that I really liked than play something just because it's the newest hot topic. I don't even try to keep up anymore. I only buy games that I really want and if something new isn't to my liking, I'll drop it in a heartbeat. I think I have more fun this way.
