Changing my gaming habits.

[MeachTheMonster]

I used to be with the day one crew. Getting hyped about a game through the months/years of marketing then running out day one and buying it or even preloading it digitally. Then I end up with a bunch of games I paid a premium price for that I don't even have time to play.

I changed this year. Yeah I still get hyped about the games, but I'm no longer buying them day 1.

With the way games are being released now all buggy and half finished, and the fact that they go on sale relatively quick, you have to be an idiot to be standing in line day one.

If you wait a couple weeks/months you will undoubtedly get a better game, at a better price. There's literally no reason to buy a game day one other than lack of self control or stupidity.

It sucks seeing y'all talk about games like Gears, Dishonored, and Titanfall, but I'm having fun with what I got, and I will play those games eventually as the prices go down. Another advantage is that by the time I buy them, the dlc should be out so I can play it all at once, as opposed to finishing the game then going back months later to play the dlc.


TL/DR. Buying games day one is for suckas, wait a while and get the better deal/experience

True, but most other things deteriorate in quality or at least stay the same. Games undoubtedly get better. And it doesn't take a long time. Some games get a huge patch and a huge discount within a month.

I made this change a few years ago with gamefly


Best thing that ever happen to me, After that 1st couple months where I didn't get a game day one. It really hit me how stupid it is to chase having the game day on and playing it as an adult. Especially when games where starting to come up with day one patches and downloads or massive issues with servers.

Your gaming habits didn't change. Your budget did.
Having another kid will do that to you.
