Great articles Cary! It was like I was there too. So many interesting games coming out. How am I going to keep track of them all? Good to hear VR is doable for you. I want a ride in that Chocobo car!
I gone through this several times before. I've traded back nearly everything and then found myself buying it back a month later. Not worth it. Lately I've been trading in anything I've finished playing. That seems to work well, I just got a lot of stuff I haven't played yet and wonder when I might get to them. I may use my backlog list to guide me. Anything I'm likely to get to soon will stay, everything else can go.
I'm already thinking I may not trade anything. I end up rebuying stuff too, so in the long run it's not worth it.
Oh yea, that was a cool feature to carry over stats to the next game. I still need to play ME2 and 3.
I hope to power up my PS4 again soon for Dragon Quest Builders.
I just installed XCOM Enemy Unknown on my XBO since I got it digitally on a sale (or free, I forget) a while back and it's backwards compatible now. I'm super excited to get to it. XCOM 2, though, I'm going to play that day-one for sure. With trade-ins of course. Gotta save money right now.
I've done that. Sometimes it works and sometimes Mark isn't into the game I've chosen and that's disappointing, so I just follow my backlog (based on time-to-beat) and then depart from it when Mark suggests something or a day-one purchase comes along.
Most recently it was Earthlock: Festival of Magic. I was doing just fine against random enemies, and the early bosses, but I got to this one boss that just wiped the floor with me. Normally, I'd just go grind somewhere in the world and come back, but I've been really impatient with games lately because I have so many to play. Plus, that shouldn't happen. I had already gotten experience with every random beastie on the way to that boss, I shouldn't have to wander aimlessly for XP points. The game should have put me in a proper possition to beat the boss during the normal course of the story. The whole thing took me out of the story, and for that, it goes into my large backlog to wait for my return.
Me too. I keep looking at the backlog list I'm supposed to follow but then the alure of playing something co-op pulls me away. I guess that social element trumps all.
Lego Worlds looks neat. If it comes to consoles, I may try it.
