It's a bad habit. Whenever a new game comes out, I just have to have it.
But lately I've been showing some constraint. I didn't get Infinite Space like I wanted to. I plan on not picking up Fragile Dreams or Sakura Wars because I have no money for these. My money went to Final Fantasy XIII and Bad Company 2, which are far better choices in my opinion. And I'm still saving up for Resonance of Fate, also waiting for more reviews to see if I want it.
Than comes Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver, out of nowhere. And it's $40, which is quite pricey for a DS game.
Prices aside, I was so close to getting one today. But then I thought to myself for a second and it hit me. I'm too old for Pokemon. I have no time to play these again. I have no money. So why do I need this?
I don't.
And I made a breakthrough today...I decided not to give in and I won't buy Pokemon HeartGold or SoulSilver. And most of all, I decided not to buy a PS3 at this time. I love my 360 so I came to the conclusion that I don't really need another system. I need to play my Wii more, for example.
But back to Pokemon, of course these are really deep RPGs that even mature gamers, like us here, can still enjoy. But I have to face the music and grow up. I guess I'm glad I did that. I'm glad that I'm not spending money on everything that gets released. I need restraint and not be a spendthrift. Besides there are better things to do with my heard-earned money.

You can see in my sig what I am playing; they are all rpg oriented, but they are all unique enough to not conflict with each other. I think trying out RoF would be too much.
Beeeesssssiiiddddeeessss...
It seems every time I recommend something, every one goes out of their way to do the exact opposite of what I say!
Believe me, the game is tempting me every day. I am a fan of Tri-Ace back from Star Ocean on the PSOne. I was intrigued by the gun-gameplay from the moment I saw it and decided then and there I was getting it. I even posted some movies in the weekly news months ago...
I might, might pop it in for a minute or two this weekend, but I'm not making any promises!
(I already have Star Ocean: The Last Hope started from two months ago --I am about 2 hours in-- that's ANOTHER Tri-Ace game waiting on the sidelines... Starting yet another would be asking for it!)
I misread it like that. :lol
Wouldn't it have been pooped it OUT then?
