    Your Gaming Spend - 2015 Edition

    Naturally, it had to happen. Here is the launch of the 2015 edition of the Gaming Spend thread. A place for you to update and track your game related spending throughout the year to show how much green you throw in MS, Sony, Nintendo etcs faces or your progress to reign in your cash flash.

    Looking ahead, what are your aims for your spending in 2015? Is it looking to be an expensive year ahead?

    I'm in again, I am going to try to only buy one game a month at the most and keep and play what I buy for a change instead of having it sit in a pile. Last year my total was only ?457.02 but I bought and sold far too may things I had no real interest in buying and would get them to sit on a shelf then trade in.

        I think I might buy Asura's Wrath and some other games I think I need to play but inevitably just add to the pile.

        I've got more than enough to last me, especially when EDF kept me busy from February to December!

        Does anybody play games on Easy just to get through them and see what the game has to offer?
        I've never done it because I feel you compromise the game and a game with no challenge is rarely fun.

          I've done that plenty times, in many cases playing it on harder difficulties just aggrivates the issues already in many games. It's very few that are properly balanced for harder settings. Just go with what you enjoy each game most on

            I think I would find it hard to spend more than I did in 2014 tbh.
