So for the first half of the year the games market (for me) went dead. WOW got boring (again) SWTOR was exciting till you finished levelling, Skyrim held attention for a few days (really could not get to grips with the UI.

So I would wait for panders, that's what I would do, right? Wrong.

The last month or so has seen me in ame heaven with some great releases. I'm now like a dog with 2 dangly bits, or 4 actually. I don't know what to play, never had this feeling before.

GW2, loving it, slowly putting time into it, can come back whenever I want, no big rush, no monthly fees.

Planetside 2, I'm old enough to remember the first one. Really enjoying BETA will love it when it goes live, again, no rush to do anything, it's free!!

Torchlight 2, for when you just need to blow stuff up, I se myself 60 min to play, 2 hours later.......... No monthly fee... See the trend

And finally Borderlands 2. It's like bing in a movie, it's like bing in a Gorrilaz video, it makes me laugh, not s******, laugh. Excellent game. No fee :)

Panders came out today and I have played WOW since Beta. Not even thought of buying it.

Im not saying i wont go have a look at panders one day, and i do relalise its contribution to the games we are enjoying today, but now, for the first time ever for me, i really dont need WOW.

I really hope this trend continues.
 
I tired WOW then EVE. Sure EVE is expensive but you never get bored, and if your bored its your fault for thinking of it like a game :)
 
i see where you are coming from, its a good time to be a pc gamer, got loads of quality games in steam that i am working my way through, most were cheap as chips too. Lots of good games coming out in the future too.

now gimme a planetside 2 beta key old chap

I loved EVE, problem is i got into the habit of buying and selling accounts as I wanted to have the best, I never really wanted to start from the start.

I really wish I had kept a fully trained Toon back for those moments that I fancy some space combat.

Yeah, that was the point I was trying to make. I gave my PS2 key to my son :)

Why is that? If you don't play it and don't want to play it, why do you hope others don't play it? Seem's pointless to me, and if you've not thought of buying it why did you make this thread? you must have remebered about it or something to even think of making this thread, and you seem to make a big deal out of monthly fees, most of the games you listed, torchlight and skyrim for example, will eventually get really boring, even borderlands 2, you get 10x more content out of wow, that's why its worth a monthly fee.

Eventually it can be sort of since you can pay using the ingame currency. Takes a while to get to that point though.

Does it require an initial subscription or is it F2P with micro transactions to elevate progress?

As for WoW, I'm probably the biggest WoW hater alive and I thought it sucked absolute you know what, but let people play what they want. :p
 
MoP is the first expansion I haven't bought on launch day. I'll probably never play it again. I just don't have the time for it anymore.
