Scarier than last month’s theme

With this recent sale going on, it reminded me of a few I picked up on sale last time but still need to play. So this ties in perfectly. :D

I’ll have to make a list, but definitely joining this. The shame walk is coming.

Edit: Sad to report, not only I failed playing any games I bought for myself, but I added more games to my backlog on some impulse bundle buy. I’m a desperate lost cause.

Welp, now I’m starting to regret my double-edged suggestion lmao. More than 80% of my library consists of games that looked interesting but I’ve never heard of. Also, a slight reminder of this handy page on Steam to remind all of you guys of your shameful spending :p.

As a self-imposed rule, I will be crossing out bundles and Monthlies and instead pick purchases on Steam. All games are games that I bought without much research though.

Will be updating my list as I regret my dusty purchases.

It’s a very sad theme ( .__.)

Damn! That means most of the bundles with nice games that I never touched. I don’t buy a lot on Steam. So that leaves out humble monthly games since I’m an annual subscriber and games I got from trades, Tremor games, Chrono and giveaways.
It was hard to come up with a list because there are waaaay too many games that would fall into this category, but I managed to narrow it down to about 10% of my never played by choosing the games that made me want those bundles and the few purchases I made on Steam.

I all honesty, when I saw the title I thought this monthly theme would be a bad idea, but after making my list I changed my mind. Those are some great games that have been gathering virtual dust for too long.

First time participation for me! Only picking one game. It’s a true impulse buy: wasn’t looking for it, barely knew it existed, but saw it on sale and had to have it.

EDIT: And done.

oh damn so pretty much everything… i used to rarely buy games but now i got so many. especially when i buy bundles i tend to do it if i want a game and now just so much backlog. well guess ill have to consider what games im playing to see if it really was a random impulse buy

Right… skipped spooktober, but this one I can do. I get most of my games from bundles, but there’s a few purchases I made on steam sales that I’ve not tried or finished and I feel guilty about them, because I chose them deliberately and I just about always play games I’ve bought on steam sales.

End of the month Tally:

…so continuing spooktober cool cool…

Well, that game taught me that wind-gliding in real life would be totally awesome, and something I should never ever do.

I’ve played all of my impulse purchases but Asphyxia and Monkey Island, so I’m gonna cheat a little and count bundles as impulse purchases, too:

Last month. Don’t have much recent ones on this except some that I purchased for cards way back when I first discovered steam. I’ve played all of my recent purchases and am really restricting myself on what to purchase. :3

I have a good amount of games from a couple of Humble Bundles bought that I would consider impulse buys. They were really good deals tho so its okay right? ;w;

Hmm, since I tend to only buy stuff I’ve at least wishlisted most aren’t quite impulse buys but I have made a small number in sales (mostly art and soundtrack DLC), plus I have entered a few giveaways on impulse (and won!) which I’m counting.

Actually when making this list it turns out I’ve made quite a few impulse buys - but I’ve also already played a lot of them. I think it’s because I’m not as invested in them, I’m not bothered if they are disappointing or have crap stories/mechanics because they were bought on the spur of the moment rather than looked at properly, reviews read, pros and cons considered before I made a decision on them. Part of the whole perfectionist thing that haunts aspects of my life (if you can’t do it perfectly don’t do it at all).

others I thought I might get around to, but definitely won’t now - Knights, VOI, Refunct, All you can eat, Skyhill, Leaves (x2), Super Sports Surgery.

Edit: Well that didn’t go as well as planned, both The Howler and Collisions were ok due to short but sometimes rage inducing stages which still need completing. I did start and complete some other games during November but must get around to completing these at some point…

Well let’s see. Most of my game buys are impulse buys…Well don’t judge me. Other women buy shoes or make-up, I buy video games XD I’ll just put 2 here for starters. Might add to it later.

Does removing an impulse buy game from my library count? Okay, maybe not…

So kokurase is actually free with episodic dlc. It doesnt really fit much since its impulse buy but ill put it anyway since its one of those games where i know i barely glanced at it before putting it into my backlog, Then when i finished episode 1 again i didnt really think at all like i did with everything else ive ever brought I literally saw it was on sale and brought episode 2 and 3. Even if it wasnt on sale I wouldve just brought it anyway and its a good game so happy

Aren’t all purchases made on impulse? I don’t honestly know which games do not fit (other than those won, gifted and received for free.. of those bought, I mean) :v

Just one impulse buy that I completed this month :)
