    Has anyone ever done this...?

    Has anyone here bought a game just for the sake of completing a series?

    For example, I had NHL 2003, 2004 and 06 for my Game Cube and it annoyed me that I never had NHL 2005. So yesterday while my friend and I were at EB Games I bought it for $7.99 (CND). The cashier sorta looked at me weird and my friend smacked me a few times saying it was a waste of money, but now when I look at my games there's no gap, and I get a weird satisfaction out of that.

    So has anyone else done something like this before?



    (And don't even get me started on how NHL 07 has been released on every platform minus Game Cube )

    I pretty much do that for evey series. Let's say I have the 3rd game in the series, I have to go out and buy the 1st and 2nd. My wallet hates it but there's nothing I can do, it's just the way I am.

    I shouldn't, but I do. Though it was actually a good thing when I bought Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones to complete the trilogy. I HATED Warrior Within, but I gave the series another chance with TTT. It's an amazing game.

    Then I bought Battles of Prince of Persia and ruined it all. -_-

    Having Devil May Cry and Devil May Cry 3 just didn't look right so I got DMC2 as a freebie when they had a used game sale. It just kind of sits there.

    The day I bought Tomb Raider: Chronicles was the end of my loyalty days and the beginning of my "research games first" days.

    Although some series I have strong faith in like Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, and Metal Gear Solid I still pre-order, and some of that is solely for the sake of "owning them all".

    I just rent a game, then buy or rent the sequwel. Ex battlefront.
    It looks like the ground had a sex change.

    I have the entire Wild ARMs series. I haven't beaten a single one. I still haven't played the third or fourth one. Go me.

    Yeah, Warrior Within was a bit iffy, but I bought the Two Thrones nevertheless. I haven't started it yet, but it's good to hear you liked it. I probably will.

    I bought FF Origins to complete my collection. FF1 and 2 were actually not too bad, but I still prefer the later games.

    >>> Yes, I got every FF (except FF11) just to complete the series, and there are games that i dont even bother to play like FF2, FF4 and FF6..
    After I played Suikoden 1 and 2 I started to get all the other Suikoden games just to complete the series..

    Final Fantasy Origins. Bought it, never bothered playing it.
