This is me as well . for single player player games , I don ' t really care when I play them . I ' m an adult , I have a life , I don ' t game as much as I did as a teen or in college , and honestly , it takes a lot for a game to grip me these days , I ' m pretty jaded in that respect , the last series that actually blew my mind was dark souls , which I didn ' t play until a couple years ago . Thus I ' m in no rush to play stuff , and I get the benefit of cheaper purchases buying AAAs a year after release . This winter , I ' ll probably get around to the latest Tomb Raider and maybe Dishonored 2 and Deus Ex . As far as multiplayer , is all Overwatch for me these days . I have no desire to preorder anything . I find cars about the bonuses , and I really hate the preorder , DLC , and season pass business model . The only games I buy on release are competitive online games due to the experience curve . I ' ll sometimes also buy games from series I really enjoy , like Dark Souls , Metal Gear , etc . on release . I ' m really over the gaming fomo , there ' s very little that I feel like I have to playskipped Fallout 4 for instance , no regret thereand I definitely don ' t have to play most games on release .
