Gears of War. I bought it the day it was released. Full price. I got it home, and in total, it took me a whopping 6 hours, or maybe less to get through.....
I think that was it. I am now sick of developers being lazy and giving us all the best graphics instead of content and innovative gameplay. That's why I've come up with the mindset of FutureRetrospect!
Just think about that newly released game you really want. You might pay full price for it, and then finish it almost straight away. You will be disappointed. I have those exact scars way too many times, so now I think differently.
I really want a copy Tomb Raider Anniversary Edition, but I think to myself, "Won't it cost almost next to nothing in 6-12 months?" Ye, it will. So I wait it out for a while, buying much older/cheaper games that I missed on, and in about a year's time, we will have a cheap second hand copy of a game that I think is worth the price.
