I'd be all over that if I could justify the expense. Maybe next year sometime.

I like the look of the MegaMan games, but I find the gameplay frustrating.
I vividly remember the summer before Demon's Souls came out and trying to decide whether to preorder it, Borderlands, or Brutal Legend. I listened to a podcast with Kat Bailey talking about playing Demon's Souls and saying how hard it was. That made me uncertain, but when I saw the trailers, I was sold, sold, sold. I got the game day-one, played it, got smacked around real good, and after a few hours, put it down. It was hard, but fair. Still, I hate repeating areas over and over. Not my sort of thing. But I really respect the game and want to go back, and with some help, try and beat it.
I usually run out of TP which makes me return to town. I've got all sorts of passive skills that replace my HP, but few that replace TP. I often choose the preparation that replaces some TP after every turn, but it doesn't replace all that much. There's one passive skill for an Alchemist that replaces some TP if he has full health at the end of a turn. I had him defend for several encounters just to boost his TP with that skill. Of course there is the preparation that replaces HP and TP every turn, but it costs 300 EN. I use that if I know I'm about to meet a boss.
There's always something else for sure. I've just finished getting those games that I have some irrational fear they will disappear forever.
I've only got Ratchet & Clank Into the Nexus that I have to have day one this holiday. I want to play Assassin's Creed IV and Batman Origins badly, but I don't feel the need to get them day-one for some reason.
I played the demo for the first one and felt there was so much going on on screen that I couldn't see the fighting. However, I love zany crazy games like this, and the more I hear about it, the more I want to see it in action.
I'm looking forward to this. I love DKC!
I'm looking ahead to several games but only the ones that I really, really want. I know that feeling when I think about a game and I get all reved up. Other games are interesting to me and I want to play them, but others take it to the next level. Those are the ones I'm focusing on. It's a manageable number of games. The best of the best in my humble opinion.
It can be good to have some barriers to getting new games. You value the ones you have and obsess over them less. I can always pick up an under $10 game any day of the week at one of a dozen Gamestops in my area. It makes me a little crazy.
