So I finished up Valkyria Chronicles 2 yesterday. Not quite as good as its predecessor, but this game was still no slouch. WIthout question one of the best games I've played this year. But now come a difficult situation that I often find myself in. What to play next  after you play something so good?  Games that are okay just seem weak and barely playable. I tried giving Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time a shot, but god it was bad. Probably isn't a terrible game. Got some okay reviews,  but I don't think I can give a real go for now.

Anyone else run into this? You play a great game and then everything seems pale in comparison afterwards?

Yup. What you should do is pick up the shittiest game available in your backlog.

Don't force playing a game you don't really want to play it will just ruin it for you. Wait a bit and get something that really inerests you.

Otherwise internet porn I suppose.

Yeah, the Good Game Blues...

Only one solution, go different genre plus low expectation.  I usually play PS2 era FPS games, works every time.

I recalled one good way to deal with the post-good game blues. Replay another good game that you've played before. Comfort gaming!  So with that, Persona 3 and NiGHTS are back in full swing.

NiGHTS HD, so I guess technically it's the old one.

Complain about bad games on message boards for a while until another good game comes along.
