    Do you buy as many new (or new-to-you) games as you used to? More? Less? Definitely less for a multitude of reasons. I am cheap so I only want to get them on sale (and Best Buy stopped doing GCU so that discount is gone and I have no real reason to buy anything at launch especially now). On top of that I now have a rule for myself that I won't buy sequels to games I already bought and haven't played yet. And then... Do you play games as much as you used to? Nope. I've been trying to read comics more now because I have a fucking absurd collection now and I have a kid so...yeah not as much anymore. Do you now buy more digital compared to in the past when it was more or all physical? Do you stream games? I used to be all about physical until Best Buy stopped doing GCU and I realized that trading in games was pointless because the 8 bucks I'd get back is fucking worthless. I used to be against digital on consoles but now I'm a little less. I just go where the sales are and consoles have actually been having decent sales on digital games this generation. Game streaming sounds terrible. No. I occasionally stream from my desktop to the living room though using GeForce or Steam In Home streaming. That's pretty cool.

    If I had seen your previous post in time I'd have told you to skip this. This game is just a shitty filler game made by a completely different studio. The only real ones are Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite. Both are great imo. I played Bioshock pretty soon after it came out and fucking loved it. Not sure how much I'd want to play it again now but it's certainly worth playing.

    >Do you buy as many new (or new-to-you) games as you used to? More? Less? I buy more games than I used to, but far less new games since I learned my lesson in 2010 with No More Heroes 2 on Wii. Bought that new, beat it by the next day, looked at No More Heroes 1, which I got out of the bargain bin for $20, and recognized which was better value. Mostly the only games I buy for full price are Nintendo's mainline games, because those never drop in price or it takes until the console's dying to get Selects out >Do you play games as much as you used to? Off and on. >Do you now buy more digital compared to in the past when it was more or all physical? Way more digital than I used to because the sales are better. I used to worry about servers shutting down and leaving me without the ability to redownload games I bought, but a) except for Nintendo we seem to be functioning okay with that and b) every game these days has some kind of Day 1 patch or download that goes along with it so buying physical doesn't guard against that anymore. I'll go out of my way to buy physical for games that there's enjoyment in owning, but otherwise the Wal-Mart bargain bin and digital sales are whoever-gets-to-me-first, and more of the digital sales are getting to me first these days >Do you stream games? (Did Google Stadia ever become a thing? I'm out of the loop ) No, and I worry about the world going this way, because our data caps in Canada won't be able to handle it. I have to specifically plan when to get patches and digital downloads, unless data compression gets significantly better and/or data caps raise (it has happened before, but they're gonna do it kicking and screaming), I'm out if games go full streaming
