What games have you played due to FOMO? (leminal.space)

FOMO stands for Fear Of Missing Out.

I've tried playing some JRPGS because they are considered classics and detective games like LA Noire before realizing the genre just wasn't for me.

I've also been stuck in the mentality of if I want to play a game in a series I need to play the prior games. I'm doing this currently for Deus Ex, the Witcher, and Splinter Cell. I guess I'd consider that FOMO to a degree.

Edit: I meant FOMO as in the fear of missing out on something relevant. Not necessarily something that is intentionally being time limited like raids or micro transactions.

Elden Ring

The glowing review and how people say its the best time to try a souls game made me buy it.

Not a game for me.

(Just in case people start saying I need to get good. It has nothing to do with the difficulty. I am thoroughly enjoying AC6 now.)

No worries! I'm a big fan of FROM and you are absolutely right, they just aren't for everyone. I honestly wish more people would see that a game can be good but you don't have to enjoy it. That's me and a lot of strategy games like Crusader Kings.
