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.

      Wow, so edgy and cool. But come-on, certainly there’s a game you’ve tried out because of all the hype around it

        If you think its cool then follow suite youll find yourself better off. When I was younger I’d bought trash games as friends where playing online, I don’t do hype any more, if anything when I see a large marketing push I question the monitory input that’s been diverted from the development
