Count me in. I have a formidable backlog of Wii/GC games, as well as a large pile of DS games, a few for GBA and several on PC.
I am very bad at playing one game at a time and often set aside a game for months before coming back to it, so I'm not sure I'd be able to handle the escape clause in its original form, but I will set a similar goal for myself if that's alright: for every new game bought, two games from my backlog must be completed.
I'll add you with a link to your post then.
Ys Celceta is the only game that will probably be released in the next 12 months that I'd absolutely want to get, play, and support on day 1. And I intend to do that, so I'm not really "in" since that's one game for me (probably, it's still not announced).
Doubt anything else coming in the next year will stick out enough to make me want it immediately. But I suppose it's a good goal to shoot for with that one game as an exception.
Read the OP dude, at least the huge bolded part at the top I'll add you.
Ah, fuck it
Count me in!
Being able to a actually buy something as long as I play it immediately makes it feasible. Basically what I'm doing with RE6 right now ....yes, that's right, I've been playing it RE6 since its release and STILL haven't finished it. So yeah, that's why I need to try this ....and actually mean it this time!
Fuck it, I'm in.
I will probably do it from November to November though. Since we might have PS4 or Xbox 720 next November, I don't think I can hold on for that.
As much as a gamer I am, I am at a stage in my life where less video games can actually help me out. I do have quite a ton of backlog, might as well complete that and may be borrow a game or two from my friend if I really do complete all of them.
Not to mention, I'm not interested in WiiU nor the handhelds. So just the PC/360/PS3. I do not like GTA as much, so can avoid that. However, Bioshock, The last Of Us, and the new game by the Heavy Rain developers will be hard to resist.
So, I might buy few games for Black Friday, I will get the new COD to satisfy my online craving and I will not purchase another game with money until next November.
This will probably be the new craziest thing I will have done, fuck.
Sure, I'll bite. Have a few 360 and Steam games I need to work my way through, so besides a few upcoming 3DS games (all Mario related besides FE:Awakening, so they should be pretty easy to work through on my commute) and the Wii U when the stuff that got me interested in it comes out sometime next year (all of which I'm pretty sure I'd play immediately, considering the type of games they are).
Thinking about it I didn't buy too much this year either. Most I can think of is Kid Icarus, Mario 3DLand and Deus Ex: HR, Madness Returns and The Devil's Playhouse for cheap.
Though since we have a time limit, I'll choose for around 6 to 9 months? Do games people have given you count?
Count me in but...
I will kickstart games
I will new games for vintage platforms (Atari, Zx Spectrum etc) because there are mostly limited runs and won't be reprinted once they sell out.
I will have option to buy 1 game/indie bundle for each 25 completed games.
I won't cancel any preorders I will have before we start
I will buy games for my phone/tablet as those are rather timewasters than 'proper' games for me.
