7. Completionism
As a life-long Resident Evil fan, Ive played every game to its finish. The original Resident Evil drew me in faster than a moth to a naked flame, and Resi 2 turned what was fascination into borderline addiction. I must have played through that second game at least five or six times by now. And Ive played all of the other; some, obviously, Ive appreciated more than others, but at the end of the day, each one serves to add another piece to the overall Umbrella shaped picture. And Im not the only completionist out there. Gaming over the years has bred millions of us, all unable to relax unless weve consumed and completed everything a title or a franchise has to offer. Sure, I was a little underwhelmed by the demo, but Ive been underwhelmed by movie trailers before for films I actually ended up adoring (the original Taken, for example). As a completionist, Ill be buying Resi 6, if for nothing else so that I can say Im up to date on Resis rich, complicated lore.
