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.

    Agree with other commenters: this is healthy.

    For me, I bought Elden Ring day one because the hype was real. It’s a good game – but not really my jam.

    I explored the Yakuza series for a similar reason, and I’ve absolutely loved that. I really want to try Ishin.

    I bought a PS4 Pro for RDR2. I stand by that decision, but I probably wouldn’t go that far again.
