Sometimes you get a game. You might play it right away, or you might put it on your shelf for a time. But when you do the latter, do you then start getting "that" feeling after a few days?
I mean the feeling that it's a game you'll really, really love, and as a result you really, really want to play it. Now, if you're like me, you try to complete things before starting something new (or at least give it a fair chance). So when "that feeling" starts churning up, I try to ignore it until I complete something else. That feeling is what got me to put in Red Dead Redemption after it sat on my shelf for a bit, and that game sucked me in to the point I barely played anything else for a month or two, and I loved every minute of it.
I also got that feeling about Bioshock Infinite. I was able to wait until I finished Remember Me before starting it, and my feeling turned out to be very right. I'm loving it far more than Bioshock (which I very much enjoyed).
Now I'm getting that feeling over Far Cry 3, which I got at our game store in town a few weeks ago effectively free thanks to store credit.
I can't think of a time in recent memory where that intuition has been wrong, and I'm glad for that. Since my gaming habits/self-imposed rules for the sake of organization are being upended for my class project-to-be-thesis experiments, I got Far Cry 3 digitally as it was on a PSN sale, so I can pull it right into my experiment if the itch gets too strong to resist.
Anyone have this kind of "that feeling" experience at times?
