Starting now and I already have S&I.

Don't worry Bis.  I've made this decision on many occassions myself only to break it as well.

Case in point purchased over the last week:
Command Ops: Highway to the Reich
Battle Academy Market Garden
Battle Academy Sealion
Star Wars The Old Republic w/ freaking $20 headset so I could chat with my brother while we play.

I'm so very weak.

Yeah, I just don't make pledges like this; I know myself too well!  I do always resolve to not buy games unless I have a very strong interest in them (and the price is right), but I'll never resolve to stop purchasing new games entirely.

As for me, I started getting back into buying after a short hiatus.

Gusington

Let it be written, let it be known...I am the man that broke Bismarck himself! Iron chancellor my pale white buttocks.

As far as DLCs, I bought the Ikko Ikki clan pack, the Sengoku Jedai clan pack, the Rise of the Samurai campaign (Gempai War) and got the Hattori clan pack with the limited edition of the game I bought. I did not get the 'blood' pack - I don't think it necessary.

If I misled you on the upcoming stand alone expansion, I apologize...but it will cost you another 30.00 dollars and does not require any other game. But the original Shogun 2 is well worth getting. It may be my favorite TW game. Definitely better than ETW and NTW...IMHO of course.

I'd make Gus re-emburse you for pain and suffering.

I feel your pain, Bismarck. So many times I've tried to take a break from buying...and so many times I've bitterly failed after a short while.

Of course, I usually make it at least a full 24 hours before collapsing.  ;D

(Head down, looking at feet) I pre-ordered the new Shogun.

I tried, guys, really.

But I have absolute confidence that tomorrow, you won't buy a new game.

Probably.

What did it was the pic on the email ad. I love "The Last Samurai". I had a Tom Cruise moment.

I can't blame you, I'll likely be placing my order soon as well:)

Gusington

HAHAHA YES!!!! Even I haven't preordered Fall of the Samurai yet! Take that again Bismarck.

Where did you preorder from?
