So this thread is for those of us who are going to pledge not to spend money on anything we do not enjoy, and are not going to be convinced to play something we do not enjoy.

This means, if you like souls likes... spend your money on them, if you do not... do not let anyone convince you that you are missing out.
How are you missing out on something you do not enjoy?

Let me tell you my own story.
I used to like the OLD Assassin Creed games.
You know, one hit assassinations.
Running around some city with tall buildings.
Simple combat with some fun gadgets.

Then here comes ASS CREED ORIGINS.
Some people be like... oh man that was great!
I hated it.
I hated the level gating.
I hated how it extended a game due to the need to level up.

But..
FOMO.
I convinced myself I needed to experience it because all these other people were saying it was good.

Then... I played Odyssey. And Valhalla.
I spent over a hundred hours each.
It felt like a chore.
I was not enjoying it.
It wasn't fun.

It was FOMO....

Now I'm going to say this.
SCREW FOMO.

I am not wasting time on things that I don't find fun.

It's time to play Space Marine 2.

I’ve always fallowed this kind of philosophy-nyah~

I have intense crippling FOMO because I don't even know what the rules are anymore.

 

[Tempokai]

I lost all my FOMO after I realized I'll never play video games on their release date due to my life. It was liberating.

 

[Hans.Trondheim]

It's the best RPG ever. ?

Best RPG EVER...

Just live vicariously through YouTubers. Don't play games at all.

I hate that this is an actual, valid option.

 

[Golden_Hyde]

me with Genshin lmao.

Though unfortunately I finally gave in as I have no more games to play, so I decided to start over

 

[Alski]

It's a theory I've been embracing for at least 10 years now, welcome to the club.

 

[ArchlordZero]

I fear I'm missing out on something.
What's FOMO?

Stop being a hater.

 

[Corty]

Stop being a hater.

I goon if I can't hate. I hate when I can't goon.

You can't stop me from hate gooning either.

 

[RepresentingWrath]

I goon if I can't hate. I hate when I can't goon.

You can't stop me from hate gooning either.

Let's hate goon together!

Huhhh? ??

When did you become Azmiranda

 

[Deleted member 84247]

When did you become Azmiranda

When they cut off his parts, so he can no longer be dragon his nuts over people.

 

[Prince_Azmiran_Myrian]

When did you become Azmiranda

We should usurp Royal Road

The end has come. The representings will soon be released in just a few short days. The world will shift once again. Join me in becoming royalty and nobility and add such a title to your name. If the Prestige of Scribble Hub surpasses the threshold, we shall become known as the final...

Join the cause! Rise above the pleb masses and become royalty!

Don't miss out on your chance!

Yeah, I hate looking in the mirror as well.

The real world is somewhat fine to me, it just that these attemps at hyper realism come out as weird and offputting, I prefer artstyles over hyper realism, there's no art or imagination on something trying to look so much like real life, I usually play video games to enter a fantasy, a world that doesn't exist in real life

I agree with this.
I'm kind of tired of 'hyper realism' but honestly, I'm really tired of horror games.

I only play tactics/ strategy games. So, no FOMO.
