I hadn't seen that, but that's a good quote. I suspect that is a partial reason for drug use and suicides among rock stars. If you've gotten everything (you thought) you wanted and yet you are still not happy, that is not a pleasant realization. Because where do you go from there?
Well, you certainly have something to look forward to because I think DOS2 is significantly better than the first game. I assume you've already played Dragon Age Origins? Edited on Mar 29, 2018, 11:15am | ||

Just in general I think it's easier to amass a large collection digitally. There's a difference between having hundreds of Steam games and having hundreds of PS2 games taking up multiple shelves in your house. There's also a difference when purchasing. When you buy something using a credit card you don't feel it in the same way as if you used cash. There's something about opening your wallet, taking the bills out, and actually seeing them leave that is much more visceral. Without the physicality (or perhaps visual) you simply don't have the same sense of the transaction when it is all done digitally. In terms of video games, I too have many unfinished or unplayed games. In particular the type I have trouble with is what I'd call my nostalgia category. For example if a game I played on console years ago and really enjoyed is ported to PC many years later, it's hard for me not to want to re-buy it again. (I'm looking at you JRPGs) But in practice I rarely do ever replay them again. For newer games, I'll usually play them enough to get a sense of what their mechanics are. But unless it is really exceptional I'll rarely finish it. Partly this is because games today are over long and partly it's because I've basically played every genre at this point and so it's kind of a been there done that before type affair with better graphics. I was spoiled when I was younger because there were a lot of brand new game experiences all the time back then. The first RPG, ARPG, the first multi-player game, the first RTS, the first FPS, the first online game, etc. Today most of the genres and formulas have been pretty well established and the main change is that they've cross-pollinated with each other so that there are many hybrids that don't fit neatly into any one genre. The last game on PC I think I played thru completely was Divinity Original Sin 2 http://www.divinity.game/. Edited on Mar 29, 2018, 10:36am | |

I don't think space is the main problem with the "gotta collect it all" mentality. Instead I believe the problem is that it causes a type of anxiety. Can I see everything? Consume everything? Am I missing out on something? Am I squeezing all the value out of this subscription? There's also a twisted pleasure in the pursuit of something that sometimes trumps the thing itself. And the thing you don't have is always more appealing that what you do have. You could have 1TB of videos on your drive that you've not seen yet and still find yourself more interested in downloading videos you've not yet acquired than watching what you already have. Some sites are priced so they encourage a join for a month and download all you can approach. This is unfortunate because it can lead to a downloading grind that is more work than fun and I think ultimately costs them money. I've gotten to the point where I prefer annual memberships when not unreasonably priced. What I would suggest is to find the core set of sites that are consistently producing content you like and get annual memberships to them. Hopefully this is a small enough set and have reasonable deals so you can swing it. For me, this helps a bit. You might still want to collect everything, but at least you shouldn't feel any rush to do so. I think knowing you are not on a clock and that you have access whenever you want provides peace of mind that is worthwhile. Edited on Mar 28, 2018, 03:47am | |
