Another generic too many games / too little time issue

[Spectacle]

29 October - Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
29 October - Battlefield 4

Fuck, I hadn't realized these two were coming out on the same day! Going to be hard to choose.

(Not really BF4 is a mulitplayer game, and MP games are always special on the first days after release, before everyone has discovered the optimal tactics and equipment loadouts. AC4 is single player and can wait for me as long as needed)

AC4 is rehashed shit and BF4 is also rehashed shit. Neither is worth purchasing for full price on release.

AC1 is one of few games that almost blowed me out with boredome so I avoid this series like plague. Saw some gameplay from sequels in someone's house but amaze me how tedium combat is.

BF4 - nah, BC2 was better and BF3 got lot of broken promises.

So no need to creating another topic like that one.

AC is great for explorefags. If you're not one it's best avoided, if you are one it's Morgoth Day One Purchase.

This is the theme which bothered me a bit in recent years.

But now I realized it's not worth thinking about. I gave up willing to complete all the games bought on steam|gog sales and play only the game I really want to play right now and buy only the game I want to play right now (the second statement is honest for 80%, though I've completed almost all of the games bought during the recent Steam Sale). I feel better now.

The other thing I realized that even with more free time I do not play games more (it's pretty hard to me to spend more than 1-2 hours|day playing, except the rare cases when I'm really absorbed by the game). I actually spend more time reading forum/gaming sites/watching videos.

The thing is you should realize it's not a race or a challenge - to beat every game, it's the matter of your own comfort and satisfaction to play only the games you really like.

Has any other codexer experienced that?

Yeah, i've experienced that, and sometimes I just get sick of video games, and go play some MOBAs before I go do something, but it might have to do with me binge playing, for example: I'll play nothing but single players games for a few months to clear some of my catalog, then i'll do nothing but play MOBA's for a while.
