Quick 2015 review

Even though this blog doesn’t have many posts and also not many readers, I like doing review posts of my stuff. Caught a cold these days and didn’t get to play a lot on New Year’s Day.
Some people did cool charts on what they played in 2015, I can skip that fancy stuff and do a short list, especially as I can’t tell what I played in which month, as I wasn’t paying many subscriptions and am generally not good enough at tracking these things.

• Significant amount of time spent:
  • Marvel Heroes
  • Guild Wars 2
  • WildStar
  • Ragnarok Online
  • EVE Online (only January+February)
  • Trine 2 (via AggroChat Game Club 2)
  • Shadowrun: Dragonfall
  • Shadowrun Returns
  • Lost Lands
  • Xbox 360: Rock Band, Rock Band 2, LEGO Rock Band
• Insignificant amount of time spent:

Gaming expenses in 2015:

Damn, this is a lot harder than last year.

• WildStar: ~40 EUR for sub in Jan-Mar iirc
• GW2: 110 EUR: box for 10 EUR, Heart of Thorns Ultimate Edition for 99 EUR
• Marvel Heroes: ~120 EUR -Magik Hero Pack (16 EUR), ingame currency (~105 EUR)
• Games on Steam: ~66 EUR – AoW3 (15 EUR), SR: Dragonfall (4,50 EUR), SR: Hong Kong (19 EUR), The Witcher 2 (3 EUR), Borderlands 2 (10 EUR), ME 1+2 + AC4 (14 EUR), Hero Siege (1 EUR)
• Games on GoG: 3 EUR – Robin Hood (2 EUR), The Witcher (1 EUR)
• Games on HumbleBundle: 16 EUR – GameMaker (12 EUR), Trine (1 EUR), Talisman (3 EUR)
• Xbox 360: 0 EUR, unless I forgot a random used game for 5 bucks
• EVE: 0 EUR (paid in Nov ’14)
• WoW: 0 EUR
• Ragnarok: 0 EUR
• SW:TOR : 0 EUR

To sum it up: 355 EUR in 2015, which boils down to ~30 EUR per month for gaming. (2014: ~450/year or 37.50/month)

• Amount of MMOs months I paid subs: 5
• Amount of MMOs I logged into and played truly “F2P” without purchases: 3 (Ragnarok, SW:TOR, WoW)
• Full price games/expansions I bought: 2 (Heart of Thorns and SR: Hong Kong)
• Amount of games I feel I supported enough/voted with my wallet according to the amount of time I spent there: 2 of 2
  • preordered the HoT Ultimate Edition because I felt bad for enjoying GW2 so much on a 10 EUR one-time purchase
  • spent about exactly 10 EUR per month for stuff in Marvel Heroes – like a sub, but 100% optional. I never felt pressured to buy something. I <3 you, Gazillion.
