What games have you played due to FOMO? (leminal.space)

FOMO stands for Fear Of Missing Out.

I've tried playing some JRPGS because they are considered classics and detective games like LA Noire before realizing the genre just wasn't for me.

I've also been stuck in the mentality of if I want to play a game in a series I need to play the prior games. I'm doing this currently for Deus Ex, the Witcher, and Splinter Cell. I guess I'd consider that FOMO to a degree.

Edit: I meant FOMO as in the fear of missing out on something relevant. Not necessarily something that is intentionally being time limited like raids or micro transactions.

I grabbed Elden Ring on sale for $40 and I wish I hadn't

What's wrong with it?

[–] Montagge@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's not worth $40. It's basically a Bethesda game without the modding community to fix it.

I found ER to be pretty polished on ps5. When i bought it in pc to do the seamless coop with my friends i was shocked by the stuttering that i couldn't get to stop. So I'd say it depends heavily on platform

Yikes. Thanks for the heads up.

He's utterly wrong.

For what it's worth, most people would not agree with their assessment. To me, it's open world Dark Souls, but better.

[–] rich@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Yep. It's Dark Souls 4 as far as I'm concerned

[–] Montagge@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

A lot of people liked it. I'll probably beat it because I bought it, but I'll throw it on the heap of other Fromsoft titles that I find to be lacking. I don't see myself wasting time on NG+ as the first playthrough has been less than satisfying.
