Sometimes I’ll buy games on sale I have no intention to ever play. Y’know, because of the lingering guilt from the last time I played them but didn’t buy them
Nope. I’m gaming to have fun, not to work off some backlog. And if I buy a game, barely touch it and never play it again, that’s fine. Keep the fun in games and don’t treat it as an obligation.
To be fair, FoMO can be justified. That multiplayer game isn't going to be worth playing in five years time. That game that has cool new tech isn't going to dazzle once things move on, etc..
Yes, but it is more about the cost. Games are pricey enough as they are. Why keep the games perpetually unplayed but then buy new ones and put them aside as well?
I played the beta on PS5 Pro and exactly had the same impression. It didn’t look good. Everything muddy and blurred, even in quality mode. In performance mode its even worse.
Personally, I didn’t have the impression that anything had changed much in the final release. The miserable graphics and performance definitely spoiled my enjoyment of the game after only 2-3 hours into the game.
A friend turned me on to Sea of Thieves, and that’s been loads of fun. I’m a bit surprised , because I’ve never really been into pvp games at all. But we get together and hang out on the couch and shout pirate stuff at each other every other night now. Really does a good job of encouraging teamwork and providing a platform for fun hijinks, rather than a guided story.
The new fire megalodons are my bane, though. Have yet to beat one, or even successfully survive one! But they look so cool I feel like a fly drawn toward a bug zapper.
I’ve always maintained that it’s a library, not a backlog. A backlog is a chore, a task I have to finish.
A library is a catalogue of new, exciting experiences waiting for me to have them!
I also happen to live in a rural area with radio Internet so when I decide I want to play a game it’s many, many hours for it to install and be playable. Heck, sometimes I can order a physical game and it’ll arrive by delivery faster than I can install it.
Also some console games are still physically on the cartridge/disc and it’s becoming more and more of a rarity. As long as the media and systems hold up you can still actually own these games. It’s sometimes worth not sleeping on these because, as I’m sure we can all see, they’re a drying breed. Same thing with (most) GOG games: if you download and save the backup installers you can have actual ownership over titles purchased there.
www.doesitplay.org is a wonderful resource to find out if a physical game you buy is actually on the media it comes on.
And, unfortunately, some digital games are going somewhere. Delisted games have become a real problem for preservationists. You can find a whole list of them here: delistedgames.com
All that said I support the notion of less consumption and more meaningful consumption when it occurs. Don’t let FOMO get the better of you, be aware that these corpos are not your friend, and take measures to secure the things you wish to have available to you! Host servers, seed torrents, and have backups.
