Post 360 Depression

cablekiller · 19-10-2005, 08:56 PM

Does anyone think they will be maybe a little depressed after the 360 is released? I mean, you have all the build-up and excitement, and then release day is finally here and gone almost like Christmas. Or maybe like a post partum depression. Or am I just nuts?

your just nuts

You having a laff right? Depression? I dont think so. I still get xbox overdose whenever a new game comes out and now the 360, I dont think i can ever get enuff of the xbox360.

maybe if u cant get a 360 or there are now games for the xbox

that makes me sad

I'm not saying you'll get enough of it. I'm just saing that all the build up and excitement will be over before you know it. I mean, it's almost comparable to Christmas. They start building it up in late September, then it's here, and then it's over.

Sorry but your nuts.

Christmas is just for one day, xbox360 will always be there until the xboxAR(Alternate Reality) or something in that line comes along, until then I cant get enuff

This is true, but I was referring more to the newness of the console. I have a problem with having to buy games even though I've got like 5 others that I haven't finished yet. (i usually have at least 3 games going at once). Once the newness wears off, I'm going to feel like I have to get something else.

I feel u on that, thats why I make sure i dont buy more than two new game at a certain time, so I dont end up with unfinished games.

Yea, I feel him though. I have joined all kinds of forums and stuff reading on tha 360. Once its here it will be like Wow, but Tha feeling of not knowing will be gone. Then, I will be waiting on Oblivion, so its all gravy...

Cybergig1 · 19-10-2005, 10:15 PM

well in a way your right, just in that you know you always always build things up in your mind to be insainely better than they could ever be. Just meaning it'll never equal exactly what each of us individually thought it would turn out. Not to say it wont be stellar, it'll just lack a few things. I dont think it'll be enough to really be a "depression" but I'm sure a lot of us may be slightly let down just in minor ways about small things missing out of games so on and so fourth. But nothing large scale like what you mentioned, thats more for women who have babies haha ^_-

cablekiller · 20-10-2005, 12:02 AM

The women having babies was the punch line.

well maybe you should see a doctor about that!

FordGTGuy · 20-10-2005, 06:42 AM

Its just like Halo 2 when it came out after all the anticipation and I started playing the game It was almost like play next-gen I loved it and I felt bad for everyone who didn't like it. Halo 2 can't have that bad of a mulitplayer since its been xbox live #1 game since it came out.

I agree, just as with the other console release's, the wow factor wears off in a week or two , but I dont see postpardon depression on the horizan.

bioatlas · 20-10-2005, 08:34 AM

I think Cablekiller needs to see his Doc about some Prozac before Nov 22.

Morder · 20-10-2005, 10:01 AM

I can see where you're coming from, and yes I do agree with you. It's not like I'll cry myself to sleep the day after I get the console, but it's one less thing to look forward to.

Aquanox · 20-10-2005, 10:33 AM

Sleep? After getting my 360?
Those are going to be forbidden words for a while.

Kind of funny you mention that... I was having anxiety attacks about a month before and after my wedding. My Doc gave me some Zoloft... good stuff! I think I might need to take some here before too long!
