How to be terrible with your money.

lol I actually know a guy who is planning on buying every single ps4 game on the PS store from now until March


He use to play games but hasn't for 10 years.... I told him it is better off just playing my back-catalogue and old games
 
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor
Super Smash Brothers
Borderlands The pre-sequel
Bayonetta 2
Freedom Wars
Assassin's Creed Unity
Assassin's Creed Rogue
Tales of Hearts
Dragon Age Inquisition
Far Cry 4
GTA V
Little Big Planet 3

How the hell am I going to pick out of that list.
 
Why would anybody buy all these games? And why would you buy these games right at release? There is literally no time to play them all if you buy them at release, and if you do one by one you'll end up paying less for each game as they drop in price.
 
Good thing I only want 2 things on that list

Isolation and Driveclub.

I might swing The Evil Within too but I haven't decided.


Edit: No wait sorry, I missed Dragon Age which is a tentative yes as well.

so 2-4 games.
 
I've already narrowed my shit down to just Day 1 must buys. That just leaves the 2 Smash Bros games and Bayonetta. Also got the Cowboy Bebop blu ray coming up so everything else can wait.
 
FIFA 15 and NBA 2K15 are the remaining games that i will be buying this year, other than maybe bargain bin games at the end of year Steam sale.



I used to do this during the ps2 and early Xbox 360 era (compared to waiting for games to go platinum and thus 50-80% cheaper than rrp on the playstation back in the late 90's).. Would buy any game i was after on day 1, quite often there were 3-5 games purchased in 1 hit. I actually managed to spread my time on them all evenly. It wasn't until the late 2000's when it got too hard and i started collecting a huge pile of shame of unfinished games.

Fair enough.

Ive never been comfortable paying full price for games. It has to be very very special for me to pay more than £25 quid.
 
Just The Evil Within for me on launch day. I already bought Alien for like 25 cents from Newegg.

Will pick up Borderlands, Mordor & Lords of the Fallen when they're $10-20.
 
4 rentals, 4 day-ones, 1 for collection purposes

Nothing crazy, but way better than this summer drought.
 
I saw some stuff that I didn't know about. I'm pretty excited now. I think that I really want to get an xbone for Sunset Overdrive.
 
Having already payed off FIFA 15, Final Fantasy XIII and The Evil Within, the only sure fire buys (if I have the funds) would be Bayonetta 2 Special Edition, PES 2015 and Super Smash Bros for Wii U.

I'll get the rest of the games when they are cheap.
 
There's honestly a lot on there that I want to buy, looking at it closely:

Akiba's Trip
Drive Club
Alien Isolation
The Evil Within
Arcana Hearts Love Max
GTAV
Hatsune Miku Project Diva f2nd
Persona Q

Realistically, I think I'm only going to pick up three of these this year.
 
2 games on this list I will be getting before the end of the year. About 8 more of those games I may pick up at some time/deeply discounted. Not a bad Oct-Dec line up, could have been a lot worse.

Oh and 2 of those maybe games require me to get a Wii U, so that isn't likely to happen anytime soon.
 
I only see 6 games I would be purchasing contingent on aquring the associated console (WiiU, PS4, or Xbox One), in which case there is only 3 games I would actually purchase from that list.
 
Or you could....I don't know....wait until they go on sale. I get overwhelmed if I have too many games in the rotation. Hell, I just started Dragon's Crown today.
 
....That isn't that bad at all :).

One doesn't have to buy ALL the games, just one or two of them :D.

The games I'm planing on picking up + systems include:
-Smash Brothers 3DS + Refurbished/Used 3DS/2DS
-Sonic Boom Shattered Crystal
-Pokemon AS
-Persona Q (If I do get a 3DS)
-Dragnaropma 1 (?)
-Freedom Wars (?)
-Tales of Hearts R (?)
-Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD Collection

Seems like a good bit but between sales, refurbished/used versions and not getting everything all at once (The Vita games I don't even know if I'm going to pick up, see the ?), I'm sure I can afford mot of the stuff above :D.

Don't own a PS4 (nothing is really grabbing me now.....maybe when Ratchet Redux and the FFXV demo come out I might want one :D) or Wii U (lots of games I want on that but just waiting till most of them come out; early next year-next fall is going to be amazing XD!) but will own them latter on :D.
 
The pay day lenders are going to be busy.

SMH...Please don't tell me you are actually using a payday loan.
Either overdraft your account or get a credit card...but payday loan with its predatory rate if you missed one payment?
Yikes.

Gaming should be considered a hobby, not an addiction.
Anyway, I am pretty bad with spending money on gaming too.
I have like 10+ games preorder for this holiday season but I have no interest in playing them due to my backlog.
I just buy them because I won't remember later on to buy them and might miss buying it in a couple of months or even year.
 
Super Smash Brothers
Bayonetta 2
Tales of Hearts R
:)
Nah that's just me. Prioritize which ones you really want. Like, REALLY want.

That IS the prioritized list. :|

Nah

Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor
Assassin's Creed Unity
Assassin's Creed Rogue
Dragon Age Inquisition

Are the main ones

Heck you could probably get away with getting one AC game now and another later. If you want to cut that list more.
 
I am getting:

Hyrule Warriors
Bayonetta 2
Smash Bros. Wii U
Driveclub
LittleBigPlanet 3

Though I might get Hatsune Miku Project Diva f 2nd, Pokemon Sapphire/Ruby, and PES or FIFA at some point.
 
At the moment for me the only games I will buy no matter what are Smash Bros Wii U, LBP3, and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire.

If this Xbone Holiday Deal is as good as Pachter says it is, I will certainly purchase one. Hopefully it'll be bundled with MCC so I don't need to buy it separately.

CoD: AW is a possible first week purchase because the price never really drops for CoD games (Ghosts is the exception). But after Ghosts, I'm going to need to wait a bit for impressions.

Assassin's Creed Unity, Dragon Age Inquisition, and Far Cry 4 all look great but I'll need to wait for GAF impressions with those. If I choose to buy them, it'll probably be on Black Friday. Though I think there's a chance Far Cry 4 will either be delayed or a disappointment.
 
I don't see anything I want in there...

Frankly only care about this:

-Metal gear Phantom pain
-Bloodborne
-Final fantasy 15
-Ori and the blind forest

Guess I am good for a while!
 
Bayonetta 1+2 & Smash Bros. 3DS for me. Less than $100 over the next 3 months. Not bad.
 
Getting Dragon Age: Inquisition, Grand Theft Auto V, Shadow of Mordor and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare for PS4. For 3DS I'll get Pokémon and Smash.
