$840 over period of 7 years is not very much money to most gamers.

Once again, they wouldn't keep buying CoD games if they weren't enjoying them. Worry about your money and games. You'll sleep better when you accept not everyone has the same gaming habits as yourself.

Apparently not... Enjoy your expenditures.


You own 120 PS3 games? Uhmmm... ditto.

All that matters is people play what they enjoy.

I'm sorry, your unique collection doesn't make you superior.

Edit: I was looking at your game collection in your profile. I noticed you own Uncharted 1, 2, and 3. Bioshock 1 and 2. God of War Collection (GoW 1 and 2) and GoW 3. So it doesn't look like everything in you collection is entirely unique. You wouldn't happen to own multiple Assassin's Creed games, would you?

yeah I saw that and was like wtf? did the match assuming those weren't bought from yard sales for a dollar each the accumulated cost of those games tops $7k easily. I doubt he beat all those games..........if he did, I wonder were he finds the time to come here.....

Just out of curiosity, I looked at my activity list of all the Xbox 360 game I ever played and counted every game I completed. I've completed around 180 games on the Xbox 360 in 6 years.

That's about 30 games a year, give or take. I tend to complete a game every week or two. Depends how long the game I'm playing is.

Bear in mind, I'm also including a good number of XBLA downloads. Those tend to be short games.

I bought a lot of then for 5 to 10 dollars... and yes costed a lot... and played most of them... some weren't great so I didn't finished all... by my count I have finished around 50, working on finishing more 10, have about 20 that are just to play when friends come (fighting, sports, music games), another 10~20 that I'll have to find the time to play (too long like Fallout) and some crap games that I regret ever buying... but I don't resell anything I buy (but cars) so I'll keep them for the future.

By the post count of both of you, if you think I take to much time here to have time to play I must assume that both don't own any good game and use all free time to bash or defend consoles?

Ouch, I only average about 4 posts a day. So I generally don't spend a ton of time here.

But its funny you accuse us of "bashing and defending" considering you recently bashed people who buy CoD games. Don't act like you're above it.

I bash people buying the same game over and over, and I'm not ashamed by pretending I'm not... and I average 1 post a day so from what did you take that I'm here sufficient time to not be able to play my games???

I save a lo of money buy the "same game" as you put it over and over. that way money I spend on games overall isn't much because gta, nba 2k series and cod is enough to satisfy my gaming interest. and on the surface cod might look the same to people who don't bother but I think the differences are quite obvious when you look at a cod player's play time history.

mine fore instance off the top of my head

cod 4 : 8 days
waw 12 days

black ops 4 days

mw2 100+ days
mw3 50 days

black ops 2: 1 day

for ghost I think I will be sticking with it for a long time.

the bonus to playing cod is the value is far greater than most games. they cost the same as every other game but after 2 weeks I don't want anything to do with gta 5. cod is high on replay ability. when did mw2 come out? I would still be playing that if the online didn't get so unstable.

I won't bother trying to say how cod games are different but the varying play time tells that somewhere in there, they are, and sometimes you just need a new coating on something you love to boost the amount of players online.

You have sequels in your library? You're also guilty of buying rehash games.

People enjoy playing CoD year after year, get over it.

I didn't say you spend your free time here instead of playing games.  Now go play your rehash sequels.
