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.

    What did you hate about it? That series is great for the people it clicks with and fans are very vocal about it, so I totally understand.

    I went the opposite direction in that it took Bloodborne for the series to click with me. The other games (this was pre DS3) didn’t resonate until after Bloodborne.
