If it's not fun for me I don't bother with the games anymore. I still hold that finishing Jak 2 was my breaking point, now if I'm not finding enjoyment in the first couple hours I bail.

That said, I believe there are other reasons to game than "fun." The experience of a game, either through online competitive progression or through experiencing a story or world, are valid reasons for playing. Just depends.

Going Shield, probably. I think a lot of people will go Sword, and when playing D&D I tend to like more defensive characters. There's my justification. :P And captures of starters below:

My hype levels are tremendous. There is no reality where I come away disappointed. Salvation is here.

@Stevo_the_gamer: Two more posts and you hit 45,000. Just saying.

Oh, and I have no tattoos. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm all in on an announcement of Gen 8. Releasing in November.

All aboard the hype train!

I haven't purchased a copy of Resident Evil 4 since it originally released on GameCube. I'm thinking now is the time to play through it again.

I'm all in on this version. I've waited so long.

A little nervous about the file size. Some massive compression happening, and I'm concerned it's with the music.

@XVision84: Life got busy and I began sitting at a computer on forums less in general. I'm pretty much always on Discord now though.

After Kingdom Hearts 3 released and I beat it, my soul was free to walk these halls once more.

I don't doubt that they're preparing Halo Infinite for next gen consoles. I'm being selfish in hoping it's cross-gen compatible.

Also being selfish in not wanting new hardware yet, but it is what it is.
