FOMO stands for Fear Of Missing Out.

I've tried playing some JRPGS because they are considered classics and detective games like LA Noire before realizing the genre just wasn't for me.

I've also been stuck in the mentality of if I want to play a game in a series I need to play the prior games. I'm doing this currently for Deus Ex, the Witcher, and Splinter Cell. I guess I'd consider that FOMO to a degree.

Edit: I meant FOMO as in the fear of missing out on something relevant. Not necessarily something that is intentionally being time limited like raids or micro transactions.

Mass Effect Andromeda. The reviews convinced me I'd hate it, but I couldn't stand the thought of possibly missing some lore after I loved the first 3 so much. Turns out it was actually pretty good.

No Man's Sky. It looked slow and grindy but people kept hyping it up. I caved, and forced myself to play 20 hours trying to find the good bits. I never found them.
