[quote name='Drizzt']Plenty of times. It's a sign that you may need to vary things up with your spare time. I've found that as I've gotten older, just doing gaming in my spare time isn't as fun as it used to be when I was back in middle school or high school (which feels like a long time ago now that I've mentioned it). I've found other things to do with my spare time that I enjoy. So something you could consider is if you have any other interests outside of gaming, and if so, pursue them for awhile. It's nice to take a break. If nothing comes to mind immediately, then try to think a little harder if there's anything you've ever wanted to try, but just never had the chance to. Now would be a great time while you're in the gaming "mehs" as I've heard them called from another person.
I've also learned that just because games are cheap doesn't mean I should buy them. I've never understood the mentality of people on this board with regards to the Indie Bundles for example. I would only have interest in at most 1 of the games in the bundle, but I don't think that makes buying the entire bundle a worthwhile investment. But that's just me. I guess I also like to keep a somewhat clean digital library as well as physical one. Another example was how I bought way too many PS2 games back in its heyday, and ended up playing almost none of them. I thought I would be interested in playing them, but that interest never came. So I got rid of every single PS2 game that I had no intention of playing. It was as simple as asking myself, "Am I ever going to play this? No? Ok into the trade pile you go."
In both cases, the games I have in my library (digital and physical) are games I know that I'm interested in playing, and I don't feel as overwhelmed with the number of choices either. So when I'm in the mood for a specific genre, I usually have a game that I either am in the middle of, or haven't started that I can play. A good example is Defense Grid. I played 30 some hours of that game when I first got it going through the levels, and going back to get gold medals on other levels. I set it down for over a year, and just recently went back to it to play some of the DLC that I purchased for it back when the DLC was really cheap. I knew that I liked Defense Grid enough, and tower defense game play in general, that I would definitely return to it in the future. Since then I've put another 10 hours into the DLC levels, and I'm having a blast playing them. It's like the game is brand new again. Plus I got a good deal on how much I paid for the DLC, so win-win!
The end result of all of this is that I've found that I make better buying decisions with regards to when and what games (or DLC) I pick up, rather than grabbing everything I can all at once. I'm not saying that's what you're doing, I'm just relating my own past experiences, and what I've learned as a result of them.
Good luck![/QUOTE] Makes sense. Wild thing is that i don't even play games that much before i got all of those games lol. I think all of the options have kinda overwhelmed me. I think after i go through the games i want to play, i'll just go back to buying a few games, playing through them and then getting more. Thanks
