Games Rental Distress Disorder

 Being as I've been permanently skint of late I decided to start renting games again as this seemed like the best way of feeding my habit whilst going easy on the bank balance.

I've just finished the main quest in Assasins Creed 2 and very good it was too. My dilemma is this. Do I hang on to the game to complete some of the extra achievements OR do I send it back and get something else.

The obsessive compulsive in me is screaming out to complete some of those side quests (some of which I'm tantalisingly close to getting) but the tight arsed git in me says I should send it back and get another rental in order to maximise my monthly spend.

So far I've procrastinated long enough that I've not been compelled to play any more AC2 nor mustered up the will power to put it in the envelope and post it back to the rental company. Ultimately I'm trapped by my own stupid compulsions.

Bah!

Just rent another game. From what I've heard, AC2 is only worth the single playthrough. 
Plus acheivements shouldn't get in the way of possibily enjoying some other great games you'll come across. Best just to make due with your time and experience as many as you can.

unless your going to buy the dlc and try to s-rank it i'd just send it back and play somethin else, theres more good games comin out soon and you don't wanna get too backlogged.

There are no achievements related to DLC. Therefore he can get the S-rank without buying any. 
 
@Tampolini: Just finish it up. If you look, the achievements that required you to go out of your way are basically just the feathers. Use a website with the locations and do it in one day. The sidequests are not required for the completion.

The extra things in AC2 didnt take me that long past a full playthough of the game so depending on your speed it might be worth it. But if it will take you more than a day then its probably better to send it back and get a whole new experience.

I Gameflyed Assassin's Creed 2 and S ranked it pretty quickly. Batman: Arkham Asylum on the other hand I sent back without finishing all the challenge modes. Both were excellent games but when you've had enough, you've had enough.

This is this approach I use with gamefly. if I'm not enjoying it, send it back.
