Message: [QUOTE="ScriptorFaust, post: 326421, member: 19309"] Hey everyone, just wanted to know how you are dealing with something I'd call Video Game Overload. It's been years since I felt like I can't decide on which game to play but ever since I finished Expedition 33, I somewhat fell into a hole. Two days ago I finished Black on PS2 and while it was a pleasant diversion, it didn't quite hit the spot I was hoping for. I actually prepared my ROMs to dive deeper into the Y2K PS2 fps era but it already lost me after playing some Killzone. On the side, I'm also playing the very first Far Cry, because back then I did not have a PC and I always wanted to know if the series was actually good at one point. I really like it but it's not something I'd pick up again if, let's say, I'm gone for a 2 weeks vacation and coming back home. And the list goes on: After CO:E33 I also started with Legend of Heroes, thought about trying Death Stranding.. you get the idea. I know that in big part this is related to just how amazed I was -- and still am -- by Expedition 33. For a very long time, finishing this felt a bit like finishing a big jrpg like ff6 or Suikoden II 25 years go. Maybe I'm chasing that dopamine high and nothing comes close right now? I remember, as a kid, when I finished for example Front Mission 3, I just played through it again, until at some point I felt satisfied enough. Now, with less spare time and a truckload of games in the backlog, this doesn't work either. In any case, is this feeling of "nothing hits the spot" something you already experienced yourself? Sorry for the somewhat rambling post. Just ignore it if you find it silly :D [/QUOTE]
