I've been resisting buying a PS4 just for Bloodborne. Makes zero financial sense. What I really need is a local friend to lend me a PS4 for a few months...

So, one third of the way through the year, time for me to tally up:

BOUGHT

 - Cibele (£0.86 from wallet) - currently unplayed

 - Until Dawn   £19)                                                               

So yep, I look to have spent over £80 on games, and as it stands, owe £36 - though I expect that DkS3 deficit will come down, hopefully some of the earlier ones will too, but I have Uncharted 4 looming, and obviously plenty more to resist...

Best resistances thus far:

 - Humble bundle (Firaxis) - $15
 - Uncharted collection - £25
 - DkS 2 PS4 - £18
 - Humble monthly thing with "free" Alien Isolation - $12
 - Firelight (£13)
 - The Witness (£27)



What a hero.

I also have a £69.99 Fire Emblem SE pre-ordered, but that's getting ditched, just no way near being able to justify it.  Unless anyone wants it off me, I can't remember if they were in short supply?

Nope, I don't understand muzzy's list however long I stare at it. What are the two sets of times?

I've just noticed that you can view other people's wish lists on PS4 and Muzzy clearly has issues.

Half a dozen is fine, any more and you're into nut job territory.

It's basically a list to spin through if there's a sale on. And jeez you should see my steam wishlist!

I've got six, and I've not paid for any of them.

Frozen Synapse
Left 4 Dead 2
Portal
Sanctum
Spiral Knights
Dawn of War 2

Tl;dr AJ's got an addiction.

That's after making a dent in it too.

Moot, that idea crossed my mind before. In particular because I've gotten a few games off you already. And Muzzy and I have done a swap to two before. So it could work.  Juts not for some releases. I'm digital on SFV and Dark Souls for example. Cos they're keepers and day ones for me. Happy on others; I can wait a long time before I play Uncharted 4, or even Fire Emblem. But I'd prob go day one on Starfox (just to use your examples).

What happened to this idea? Didn't it morph into some other thread?  Can't remember which though... Key point though: one of you is buying me star fox, right?

I got Star Fox. Couldn't resist some Nintendo and Platinum goodness (best two devs in the world).

You can lend me Uncharted at some point. Maybe early June or late June if you're ok with that, I have some time off.

Meh.

Moright.

I've got:

Starfox
Doom
Uncharted 4
Dirt Rally

Sitting in my basket winking at me. Help me resist on this day of pay.

As much as I know that they will give me a warm fuzzy feeling at the point of purchase, I know they will sit in my pile of shame.

Depends if you actually have anything else/better to do with your money.

Compromise.  Treat yourself to just one and, you know, actually play it right away.

Indeed. Unless you're absolutely loaded and actually like throwing money away, then buy one at a time.
