Over half way through 2013, and I've been reflecting on my game purchases this year.
I've only bought three games this year, Bioshock Infinite, State of Decay, and The Last of Us. And they have all been absolutely great purchases, and I feel like these three titles could carry me through the remainder of the year, especially with eventual DLC on the way for all three of them. I have beaten all three, but I've really wanted to go back and replay each of them, BSI and TLoU on harder difficulties, but just haven't had the time.
State of Decay has had two major title updates since I last played it, both of which seem to have fixed a whole mess of issues the game had back when I played it. I'm really looking forward to downloading those and enjoying a cleaner smoother play through. There is also suppose to be a "sandbox" DLC coming out for it sometime in the nearish future, I'm interested to see what all that entails. It is already a sandbox game, so how do you make it more sandboxy?
I am, however, considering shelling out for a few titles I've wanted to play for a while now.
Red Dead Redemption
Farcry 3
Borderlands 2
Batman: Arkam Asylum
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Heavy Rain
Dishonored
Metal Gear Solid HD Collection - I've still never played Snake Eater! What?!
But I still have several games on my back log I need to play through:
God of War Trilogy - Made it close to the end of GoW 2, haven't proceeded because I began it on PS2, and now have to restart on PS3 since I don't have the PS2 version any longer.
L.A. Noir - Haven't started
Resistance 1 & 2 - Made it very close to the end of the first one, PS3 broke, backed up all my saves and sent it in to get fixed, all my saves restored fine except for Resistance, so I have to start over.
Fallout: New Vegas DLC packs - I've got them all, but have only beaten the first one.
Skyrim - Really got into it for a while, loved it. I was right at the end of the main storyline with over forty hours of play time and my game save got corrupted. Was over a year ago, restarted recently, but it is kind of hard to get back into without thinking of how cool my other character was and how much time I already invested in the game. I feel like I am spending hours doing stuff I already did before.
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - Started playing it a couple of weeks ago. Only a few hours in, should probably finish it. I just realized recently that I've owned a PS3 for two years and The Last of Us is the very first game I've beaten on it.
