Ugh... I'm going to go broke.

 
With so many games hitting stores in these past few months, i'm pulling out my hair trying to get my hands on them all, I haven't been this hype about games in two years, I was content, and then god damn, it all just blew up in my face!
 
Most is for 60 bucks no less which hurts my wallet so dearly.
 
I've gotten:
 

• Agarest Wars
• Alan Wake
• Persona 3 portable (preordered)
• Bayonetta
• Super Mario Bros Wii
• Final Fantasy 13

• Deadly Premonition
• Red Dead Redemption
  
• The Last Guardian
• Final Fantasy vs/ 13
• Final Fantasy Agito
• NMH: Desperate struggle
• Nier
• Pokemon Black / White
  

• Shadow hearts 1 - 2
• SMT Devil Survivor
• SMT Strange journey
• Any of the PW games
• The legend of Zelda Spirit tracks.

I'd rather be overwhelmed than left with diddly squat to play. Oh and I would ad Mafia II and Fallout: New Vegas to your list. :P

• Take a long and deep look at your list and you'll suddenly find several titles that you dont actually need/crave, and wont truly enjoy, and they wont last. I mean.. Deadly Premonition ? Just because its what Giantbomb is all about nowadays? from what i understand its actually a SHITTY game...    Think about each and every game and you'll see that the list will drop to half. Not to mention that the more games you have, the less you actually play and the more they gather dust and break your heart. 
• You mean Red Dead Redemption, not Revolver.. right ?

Black & White won't be coming this year, so you can scratch them off your list. 

Unless you're one of those people who imports the Japanese versions, then buys them again when they come out in English.  But if that's the case, I have a suggestion that will help with your money problems  :)

buy red dead redemption, the rest is only rental quality, or simply skip them.

I have a big list of games I want too, but my fiance would leave me if I bought all of them. Buy one, play it, and enjoy it. By the time you are done that one, the others will hopefully have dropped in price.  Wash - Rinse - Repeat
 
Getting a game close to the release means nothing unless you have time to play it. I've only recently picked up InFAMOUS and Fallout 3 because I've been playing other games, and had I picked them up earlier, it would have been more expensive, and they would have sat around collecting dust. Or, I would have dropped all of the other games to play these and never have seen other games through.

I know how you feel. Just be glad you have the option to rent games, which I don't (and that really sucks)

I'd get Deadly Premonition.

That list is pretty much the same as the one I have made up in my head. 
Though I know for a fact that I won't go broke over that. It takes more to make me run out of money so fast

" @Catolf: I'm not trying to be a dick here just want to help you out. Not sure if English is your first language, from what I can tell it isn't.  But either way you should know you're spelling "since" wrong.  You're saying "sense", but it is "since". "

 Maybe it's the hype, i need to tone it down and think "

Pokemon White and Black doesn't even have a release date and I'm sure it'll either come out on holiday 2010 at the earliest or next year's holiday at the latest. Final Fantasy XIII Versus and Agito will have more info at this year's E3 and will give you a better sense of whether you're still interested or not. The Last Guardian will have more gameplay revealed at E3 most likely so you'll know whether you want it or not. 
So that leaves you with these games.

• Deadly Premonition - $20
• No More Heroes 2 - $30
• Red Dead Redemption - $60

• Nier - $60

Pretty much. Think of how much hype RDR is getting on the forums right now. It's hard not to want it. "

In total you will have spent a good $220. Of course if you find some good deals online, that amount will lower. "

Nier is already at 45 on Amazon for today. RDR was at 54. Prices will drop quick enough and if you aren't playing them immediately no point in skipping.

Through Amazon and counting credit I got both Alan Wake and RDR for $40 each.  Lesser games I can patiently wait until they're in the ~$20 range.  Games I considered buying day one but decided to wait for price drops have saved me hundreds of dollars in the last few months alone.
 
There's no reason you should be buying games for $60+ in the US today.

There really isn't anything on your list that you can't get in 6-8months (like say if you wanted Sakura Wars or Disgaea Infinite neither of which might be available in a few months) 
 
And I must recommend Infinite Space.

" Nier is already at 45 on Amazon for today. RDR was at 54. Prices will drop quick enough and if you aren't playing them immediately no point in skipping. "

If you feel like waiting out a bit longer you could also check out the E3 2010 list thread and see the games that most interest you so you could save up some cash. Nintendo might finally have a huge year of exclusives and the rest isn't too shabby.

" @Catolf:  About 2 years a go or so Atlus stopped having their own store and partnered with Amazon to be their "official" store.  Since then very few Atlus games stay out of print long.  Strange Journey and Devil Survivor are both there as are even DDS 1&2 and Nocturne.  The Devil Summoner series is still hard to come by though they may do a reprint.  NISA as been getting better about runs, but for example Ar Tonelico 2 basically disappeared after 8 weeks out.  A Disagea game proper would be one thing, but DI is so niche who knows?  Infinite Space is really good.  If they had a slightly better combat system it would be one of the best games I ever played. "

• (I don't have any of the Devil summoner.)
• SMT Raidou Kusunoha vs/ The souless Army 2 (I have the first, came across the second and didn't have the money to buy and now it's gone *sad*
• Devil survivor
  
• Strange Journey.
• Persona 2

I need to get on Amazon, they usually have really good deals.    "

Ya they have "deals" however for me the deals normally end up on my shelf for ever. I bought Pokemon gold for 28 bucks about 2 weeks after it came out. Havent opened it or touched it. Bought Spirit Tracks for 18, again shelf. I do it for plenty of games and I need to stop LOL. I find myself spending 150+ a month on Amazon for random deals I come across on Books, Movies, Music, Games, whatever. "

I can't belive you want deadly premonition.  
 
The ER is enough of that shit

" I can't belive you want deadly premonition.   The ER is enough of that shit "

I use to have the same problem - too many games and not enough money to buy them all. But I bought them anyways and found myself with like 8 games that just sat on my shelves because I never had time to play them. 
 
Best to just buy one game, hopefully one that can last you more than a couple days, beat it - then get the next one. Most games lately at my local retailers have dropped $10 - 20 in price after the first month or 2 of being released.

" @Catolf: I meant the Raidou games under the Devil Summoner name-Not sure if any of the other even got released here.  There is a fan translation of P2:IS out there...  DI is released June 8th "

" @Catolf: Ha! I'm soo glad I'm not the only one who gets overwhelmed with all the new games they just purchased and can't decided which to play - so they play none.  For me it's really sad... I can't choose what to play... So I watch.. Spongebob. "
