What games have you played due to FOMO? (leminal.space)

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.

Fallout 1 & 2 are absolutely phenomenal classic games, but they are very old school (they're 90's releases, after all) so you have to be up for that. Not just graphically, but game design too. If you're okay with that, they're really worthwhile experiences, and I might even prefer Fallout 2 over unmodded New Vegas.

As is usually the case with games from this era, look for the unofficial patch and the Restoration Project, too.
