Quick Hits: Chris Goes All Resolutions For 2017


Posted on 12/31/2016 at 04:08 PM | Filed Under Blogs

Big Spender: I have the same resolution about games on sale. I did the math and I spent about $250 or so on games between last year and now. That's a whole PS4 Pro, at least on sale. Granted, considering how many games I got for that, it's still a deal technically.

I'm pissed at myself for not getting my PS+ games, especially since 2K16 and Transformers Devastation (which I'm currently debating whether to get on sale for $17.49) were on those lists as well as Resident Evil and Journey. Kicking myself in the face over those.

I was just thinking about how many games I'd own for my older consoles (usually about 7-8 games for each N64 or GCN and about the same for handhelds) and the insane amount of games I own on PS4 and Steam. Digital sales have really changed my gaming spending habits. I used to buy new games almost exclusively and physically. Now it's the opposite. Only physical PS4 discs I have are The Last Guardian (which was a Christmas gift) and Arkham Knight

My New Years resolution is ironically to go back to my old ways. 

Indie Hero: I'm the opposite. I'm kinda sick of indies and am going to wait for sales or PS+ games from now on, unless there's a game I just reeeeeaaaaally want to support. Maybe Firewatch

Finish Him: I usually finish the storylines on all games I care about, so I'm mostly ok here, though there are some games (Spirit Tracks) I am at the end of but haven't finished. I am also ONE trophy away from Platinum for the main Arkham Knight game and have been for two years. Brutality 101 is brutal. 

Beat-hoven: You sure 50/day plus others is doable? There any way you could just figure out which songs you've not listened to already?

You're a reader, 'arry!: Oh man, I could stand to read way more outside of textbooks at work. I might buy an eReader to help. They have settings that help your eyes and won't keep you up at night, right?

Better Editor: I need to delve more into PhotoShop as well, so I can teach it better. 

I might post resolutions tomorrow. In the meantime, I've taken the liberty of giving your resolutions titles like PS trophies. Hope you get platinum!

Yeah, my biggest complaint of Battlefront is no campaign mode. 

That game is probably the one purchase I'll really regret from the PS Store Holiday Sale Week 3 stuff I bought. 

Finished the Main Story in DQ VII

That's honestly too much game for me. I like to have a good, 15-20 hour story so I don't feel like I wasted money and a lot of optional quests from there so I can focus on other games. 

This is why I'm not as into stuff like The Witcher III, even though I own and plan to finish it. Some day...

LEGO Marvel Superheroes has probably made me put in as much time as RPG players with its side missions and collectibles though.

I have been one trophy away from Arkham Knight platinum for almost 2 years now. Brutality 101 is brutal.

I have never played Resistance, but wanted to ever since visiting Insomniac in 2014. 

I've played Killzone, but not much. 

Been meaning to get to MGS3 for years. 

It's like you beat a bunch of games on my own list. lol

If there's a Chic Fil A or In N Out near you, I'd look into it. Their employees seem much happier than most ff employees. I know a friend who works at Shake Shack and got a trip to South Korea out of it. There seem to be ff joints that actually care. Ofc, there are other non-ff jobs that might serve you better.

I played the Platinum FFXV demo and thought it was creative and looked kinda pretty, but the combat was really repetitive. Basically, I held O a lot. Granted, were the game not reviving me every time I ducked up the boss battle, I may have had to strategize more. He actually kicked my ass when I chose to replay him by accident.

My 2016 on paper was awesome. Too bad having major depressive disorder for much of the year screwed me out of feeling the joy of a good, well-paying job. Then again, said job was greatest contributor to MDD, so it's a double-edged sword.

I liked a lot of the celebrities that went this year, but many had cancer, were older, or did c enough drugs that their passing wasn't surprising to me. Honestly, I'm most surprised this wasn't the year Keith Richards left us. Would have really sealed the deal on the whole apocalypse thing after the election. 

I'm trying to remain positive about 2017 and beyond, but at times I think it's naive, other times I realize worrying really won't change much so might as well enjoy whatever ride is coming. Guess we'll see.

A Quick What Chris Plays...

Let me know if you want to co-op or h2h on Battlefront or Need for Speed PS4. Picked both up on sale. I kinda regret buying the bare bones version of Battlefront for $10 since it really does feel incomplete, but at least I never bought it full price. I would much prefer two stick flying to the right stick only in the main game, which seems odd to me. I crash more on those speeder bikes than I do in NFS as well.

I'm gonna see if Batman: The Telltale Game ( I'm actually pretty sure that's the official title) is cheap enough to justify me buying it. I did enjoy the Walking Dead Ep 2 I got for free on PS+, so I want to play it.

GTA V had to be removed from my PS4 for space and I wasn't really playing it. Those PC mods look fun. Is there a Mad Max car in that version? The more hilly sections of the map remind me of that game sometimes.

FF15 and why I do not have it

I'm lucky to have a decent job, but just as with Steam sales, those PS Store sales make me compulsively spend. I try to limit my spending to $59.99+ tax or the price of a regular game, but I still buy stupid shit I end up regretting sometimes.

I hope your financial situation improves. One of the reasons I have my good paying job is my Master's degree, but that thing also comes with hefty debt payments and my job ends in May, sooooo...
