The final game~

Sort of in response and making it known otherwise, I will also cease buying games and other things like anime indefinitely. For the same reasons as Artie and following right behind him in that decision. This is a team effort and we're in this together. Through anything and everything. And the money is greatly needed for bigger and better things. So, the choice was easy here. And the fact of the matter is the gaming world is changing and moving in a direction I just don't like. Only a real handful of games that come out in a year appeal to me anymore. So, tis better to just stop and focus on the backlog I already have right now. And that'll keep me going for a long while now.

So yes, I'm still going to play games. That is not stopping. I'm just ceasing my buying activities. AT3, Pokemon Black/White, and Okamiden are the last games coming for me. And all of them are this month actually. But the final game I shall get, whenever and if it comes, is Tales of Graces F. So, unnecessary spending is still stopped until then anyways. Though every game I got off Amazon was bought with gift card money xD As well as my last anime complete collection which is Trigun. But anyways, I still love games and I still have fun with them. As well as anime. It's just time to focus my time, money, and energy all for the sake of something way more important to me. But still stay tuned for posts and other things still related to that. So, until then~

  1. Yeah, though I still wish it didn't have to be a cold turkey cut off. It sucks. But yes indeed it is worth it ^_^ For much bigger and better things~ Though I don't really get what you mean by "the direction the gaming world is going". ^^; Though I guess I always focused on a small portion of it anyway so I couldn't care less what most popular game series do. But yeah I agree with that, there was only 5 games I was planning on grabbing this year. I got one, with one on the way next month, so I guess that's not bad.

  3. Hm, yeah, it does suck to do that but I still have a ton of games backlogged so I'm good. Mhmm, yep~ Hm? Um, well, I mean all this motion control crap and other stuff. And it's only going to get more pervasive. I mean, yeah, I focused on a small portion too but some of things I used to like are being ruined by what I just said. I guess I'm just old school like that. But yeah, I still focus on the stuff I do like and just keep away from that. That's all that I meant. Yeah, I'm getting what I wanted for this year so I'm good there as well. March pretty much held all of those so yeah xD

    @Fay: Thank you~ We both appreciate it, Fay ^^

  4. Thank you, Fay ^_^

    Ah, I see I see. I'm not much into that either, but luckily smaller developers haven't bought into that stuff hook line & sinker yet. Though I suppose it needs to move in that direction on the way to artificial reality gaming. Yeah, I'm sure it is. I wouldn't mind it so much if the technology was a lot more advanced than it is. I still think they debuted it too early.

  5. Mhmm, yeah, that's the saving grace is that not everybody has bought into it. So, I'm sticking with those people. And yeah, that's true too. Though that still wouldn't interest me even with better technology ^^; I'm just too old school and not into that at all *shrugs* But to each his own.

  6. Yeah, for now. Though even Gust is going that route now ^^; Well, AR would interest me, because it'd be damn cool just to see it, but I'm not too keen on the idea of being hooked up to a machine that can screw with your brain. So, yeah I'll stick with a hand held controller too. It is just games after all.

  7. Yeah, that's the problem I have with it ^^; And yes, that's the entire point. Tis a game. And some people are crazy enough with games already. Playing them too long and stuff in one sitting. It's just a little scary to me is all.

  8. Ah, but it's only for mini games most likely. Like synthesis stuff. Yeah, this is true. But that's their deal. Yeah, though I'm guilty of having done that on more than a few occasions. Though not in recent months. It's been ages since I cracked the 8 hour mark including breaks.

  9. I wasn't talking about Gust with that ^^; I meant AR and the brain thing. I wouldn't know much about what Gust is doing. But anyways, I meant to the extreme with playing too long. Way longer than 8 hours. But yeah, I guess. Still scary though to me.

  10. Hm, well I've bagged 13 xD With AI3 four years ago. It wasn't intended though.

  11. Haha xD Well, I know I've played for way too long before too ^^; I definitely understand what you mean about not intending to.
