Forums - Gaming - I buy too many games. Do you?

Galaki on 27 January 2009

No, I didn't buy too many games. I just leave them sealed and pretend I just bought them when comes the time to unseal.

Yes, self-delusion.  I need to look into this further...

The only prescription against obsessive videogame purchases
is being in a relationship.

You'd think so, but this is often less effective than it might seem.

I try to finish a game before I buy a new one...
Generally the ratio goes 3 to 1 though (Finish one game, buy 3).
By finish, i mean reach the end of the game. Sometimes until it is 100% done (but this is rare... so many other games drag my attention away).

that said.. some games are great to play, even if the objective isn't to finish them...

So yah, I think i do buy too many because i don't even finish all the ones I do buy. But i don't plan on changing my ways :)

 Elaborate.

I'm just saying that in the case of myself and, I suspect, more than a few others around here, being in a relationship has done little to quell game-buying habits.

If anything it increases the number of purcahses.  Looking for games that appeal to both people in the relationship is harder than buying games just for yourself!

beyond that, Multiplayer games are far more fun when you always have someone to compete against!

I'm willing to bet that my local Zellers doesn't (it sucks), but I'll check it out in case I'm wrong.

On topic, yes, I buy too many games, and yet not enough. Looking at your monster list makes me feel better about my habit, though. ;)

I think it's a nationwide promotion, though I'm not certain.  Every one of those games was $15 or less (and most were from Zellers).

 

Yep, my local Zellers never fails to disappoint. Other than a bunch of shovelware I'd never heard of, the best deal they had was Spider-man: Web of Shadows for a mere $49.99!

But hey, congrats on all those great deals you got to enjoy! Excuse me while I enviously curse your name under my breath...

I also have a problem of buying too many games. =[

Anyone want to take my debit card away for safekeeping?
