Buying Games You Can't Play?

"Two people have sex."

"Two more people have sex."

"Three people have sex, two more join in, one seems to have disappeared somewhere, here comes someone else and OH MY GOD MY EYES I WISH I WAS BLIND!!!"

Oh, and back on topic, I still have my Elevator Action cart which I bought many years ago to play on my brother's NES.

 

Gears of War, seriously? That game was not only painfully overrated on release but pretty much sums up everything wrong with modern shooters. Buy a 360 for the good stuff, like the first BioShock game (second one not so much) or the Mass Effect series.

LOL. I'd take that job!

 

Because the game will drop in price by the time you get your 360.

 

C'mon, man! Over-muscled protagonists and walls only as high as your knee are the in-thing these days! I've personally made sure that everything in my house can either be vaulted over or destroyed with an insanely-large gun, possibly with chainsaw(s) attached.

 

Hehehe, nice analogy there

 

I've bought a ton of games I can't play because I hate them... and THEN I learned to read reviews first lol

 

Although not all the walls in my house register..for some reason. So sometimes I just find myself forward rolling on the spot because I am just so crazy!

I've always based my purchases on reviews, then people are like OMGMAKEUPYOUROWNMINDGOSH. If I had the money to buy anything I even slightly liked the look of, I'd do much better things with my time than videogaming.

 

I don't do this because I'm not a spoilt, bratty kid. Plus, I would rather spend my money on other things than games.

 

I buy games that either I never play, or don't pick up for the first time for weeks, or perhaps months after I bought it. I'm talking $20 or more games here. Never really a 59.99 game, but still. I bought Resident Evil Mercinaries for the 3DS, probably around two weeks ago. It's still in the packaging. I've racked up over 20 PSP games, all very recently, probably between $7-10 most of them. Over half I haven't played. I have at least half a dozen 360 games that I bought and never played. Like I bought these games 6 months or a year ago or whatever. Devil May Cry 4 and F.E.A.R 2, amongst others.

 

With all due respect Bat, it sounds symptomatic of some kind of psychological affliction. Like some kind of... pre-emptive hoarding or something.
