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 think the last game I bought out of fomo was the og COD WM2 on 360. I didn’t have much money for games until like two years ago so I really only bought what I knew and only took a chance on games I knew were hyped and looked like something I was into (ie Skyrim).
I don’t really care about what’s new if it doesn’t interest me. Bought BG3 cause it got a lot of hype and I’ve airways wanted to get into DnD and this looked like a good way. Don’t think I’m going to buy Starfield, at least not at release.
