--- Quote from: popcorn on November 09, 2014, 01:39:46 PM ---Honestly, I think it really depends on what kind of a gamer you are. If you don't really play video games but you do enough to call yourself a gamer, I think you're far more likely NOT to just see a game and buy it. You'd more like have an interest in a specific genre. Although, more to answer your question, I think it's to fill up your shelves so you can be considered a big gamer or something. Just the pride of it. Also, you might know how XBOX 360/One and the PlayStation Network do a sort of achievement thing. Maybe to have a lot of the points is sort of a goal. This seems like an interesting topic. I want to see how this goes. ;D --- End quote --- Hmm good points about pride. I never thought of that. Sometimes my friend will get deals to fill his collection and text me every time he gets something real cheap. He doesn't play most of his games, just kind of starts them. For me, I do seem to have a habit and make genre lists too. But I do game everyday so even though I'm not gaming 10 hours, I still game a couple hours usually. Or at least most days, I have other hobbies too, but love to game, but also love to own certain games. But I would never buy a game if I don't really like it, the only few ones are the ones that have that nostalgic feel, but those are far and few.Then there is the Next gen systems. Sometimes you feel addicted to the hype of a new game with new graphics. But there is also the aspect of gamer fans and elitists who are always trying to outpace everyone, and sometimes that can internally make you feel you need more. |
