there is a huge difference between crap-ware games and medoicre games. i'm talking mediocre games that did not get much good news from the press but certainly dropped in price for easy pick-up.

no game is trash unless you think its trash. something that is crap-ware (go barbie dress up or catz for the ds or fake workout games on the wii) to you might be awesome to me. for example you might not like ridge racer 6 and it might be a crappy game to you but i certainly find enjoyment out of it and i just purchased it today for $5 at GameStop.

also, i did contradict myself in the previous post just because it was 2am in the morning and really i didn't know what i was saying

so to tell you the truth i am a video game collector meaning i will collect anything that catches my eye and i will have fun with even if its cheap.

one, i don't go and follow what whatever the industry says is the best game. i go by my taste...

Mmm, OK, now you quite cleared your point and it is fair enough.

 

Sounds like an addiction if you're worried about the amt of gameplay...

 

No, dont fulfill her/his head with spiderwebs ! No addiction, she/he(sorry dont know what is this poster), ok, you only need to rest a little bit for gaming, let for a dozen of gems to come out and later start to play again.

 

Just like i did, now i have got a lot os CHEAP, GREAT games on line for playing and i know i will enjoy them the most !

I don't know if anybody even cares, really, but I just wanted to alert all of you that I'll be cutting back on gaming, and by extension, maybe cutting back on VGChartz as well.

As is fairly evident, I'm a pretty avid gamer and I buy a lot of games. Thing is, I've realized, due in large part to Assassin's Creed II that I'm just not having fun. Some games I'm having loads of fun with, but a lot of games I play just aren't doing it for me, at all. And I need to stop spending money on them. I'm not saying Assassin's Creed II is a bad game - Far from it. It's clearly a very well-made game, but during the 10 or so hours I've invested into it I really just haven't had a lick of fun. And I say this as someone who really enjoyed the first game. I don't even know why, I'm just not enjoying it much at all.

So this year I'll be cutting back on my gaming purchases. I am in no way quitting gaming, because I still have tons of fun when equipped with the right game, but I'll be cutting down, perhaps severely, on the games I purchase and the games I play. As a result of this, I may end up posting a lot less around here (something I feel has already happened these last few weeks).

Like I said, I have no idea if anybody even cares, I just wanted to get this off my chest to all of you. I'm just really happy that I haven't lost touch with gaming entirely, because I still feel great amounts of joy from a lot of games (for example, Nintendo-games, which have always been my true passion within gaming).

Sounds like an addiction if you're worried about the amt of gameplay...

I don't want to sound aggressive here, but I have no idea why people fail to read my post at all. Everyone seems to interpret it as me quitting gaming, I've even pointed out that I won't even be cutting down on the amount of gameplay, just the amount of games I buy.
