Anyone else fatigued by constant releases this year?

I've bought like one game this year. Catherine.

Horrible year for gaming.

No.

Simply put i don't pick up games just because the critics deem them good, i pick up very few games at a time and the fact that alot of awsome games comming up just gives me a bigger pool of choices to start with.

Also i'm a bit picky about my games so i'm skipping alot of them while patiently waiting for price drops on my second tier wishlist games. (plus i'm saving for something else :P).

Fatigued? Not at all... These games aren't going anywhere. There's no obligation to play these games right away just because they were recently released. Play them at your leisure, and don't feel obligated to buy games at or around launch unless you plan on playing it extensively and soon.

I have a huge backlog of games, so buying games at launch $60 doesn't make much sense for me. Whenever games that I know are good drop to around $20 or $30 bucks, I make sure to pick them up. I've been retro gaming a lot lately, and for me, it has driven home the point that games aren't going anywhere, and you'll always be able to find them and play them. Honestly, the only time I really feel the desire to buy a game at launch and at full price is when there is a strong online community, such as Modern Warfare 3. The exception to the rule this year has been Skyrim, I picked that up at full price because it is SKYRIM!! I never trade games in or sell them, and I'm kind of trying to start collecting, so any good game that I can pick up for cheap is a big up.

Basically, video games are just a fun hobby, and should be treated as such. Don't take them too seriously. Don't let the things you own end up owning you.

I like seeing other people happy about titles that they can afford. Me personally? I buy a handful that are *really* special to me, then wait to pick up all the rest sometime the following year when they've all dropped in price, or I wait for a really good sale.

Fatigued? Definitely not. I'd rather have too many good games come out than a handful of **** in between 1-2 amazing titles every 6-7 months.

45 games?. What the hell have you been buying. There's been about 15 must have games at the very most this year and you haven't even bought most of them.BigBoss255

The $20 Amazon credits are awesome. Its a shame more retailers don't do stuff like that. GameStop only tries to reward you by buying used games since thats all the really profit off of

[QUOTE="todd2r"]45 titles!?!??!? Holy mother of god. I've bought MW3, Batman AC, Forza 4, Gears 3, and I will be picking up Saints Row 3, and Wwe 12 on black Friday. I thought that was a lot. But I guess not lol. Good luck to you man lolBrodomski

Not fatigued but enjoying them a lot and yes i did purchase more games whose prices got reduced this year.
