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.

There's an important moment where you have to ask yourself...

"Is this story so bad I'm not invested in it anymore?"

"Is the gameplay bothering me so much that it feels bad or unfun to me?"

If the answer is yes to both of those, you may feel free to drop the game with full confidence you're not gonna play it again.

I get what you are saying but a lot of the time it's just a mediocre experience and I'm not necessarily disliking it. More indifferent than anything. Occasionally a game has made a pretty solid turn around in the last act
