Yep, I'm definitely feeling this. I bought the D&D games bundle from GoG, and each of those ten games are pretty long. I'm actually a little disappointed with some of the games, since they've have aged poorly, but I have yet to try them all, so I'll just have to see.
Nope, I have never been a big buyer. I had the Xbox 360 since release(2006?) and have only bought about 25-30ish games *I have traded a few in and I also include Arcade*. I only have 17 games on steam, and I don't think I have used more than $100 to get these games, I only ever buy when on sale, and sales never make me buy more.
I have about 6-7 games on my PS3, but I have only had it for a year and I plan on buying much more for it.
I only buy a game if I know I will love it. KNOW. I do a bit of research and listen to a few opinions from people on youtube. I have never been one to want more, more, more. I also usually wait for the 'complete' edition to come out before buying, like Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen. I didn't buy Dragons Dogma, because I had a feeling something like that would happen.
I do have a list of games I want that I haven't gotten yet, so when a game like....let's say Watch Dogs comes out I won't be getting that game for a long while after release anyway. I still need games like L.A Noire and Valkyria Chronicles first, which I haven't bought yet. I just bought Deus Ex: Human Revolution the other day. So when everyone is excited for playing Last of Us, I am looking forward to playing Dishonored and Bioshock: Infinite.
I always make sure to stay 'behind' the times, so everything is complete, patched and cheaper. Same rule for consoles. I also can't get things like the Indie Humble Bundle because I don't want everything in the bundle. I don't like owning games I don't want even if it is for a cheaper cost. I don't mind putting in a bit of extra cash for a game I know I will love, helps the developers.
Yes, I am a very patient person.

Nah. Not really. I usually make a solid attempt to finish a game before getting another one. Not completely finished mind you, I don't go after achievements/trophies/whatever and ignore optional tedious bits in games. I tend to play a lot of RPGs, so it takes awhile to get through a title. That's the only part I feel overwhelmed by. They are time consuming. And there's plenty I'd like to pick up.
I feel the opposite. I'm a console gamer who doesn't like to buy games digitally, so I only buy games when I go to a shop, which is rarely. I've played the shit out of my games, but often feel like my library is too small, and I'm really sick of the ones I've got. Guess I should stop being so lazy...
Not really. The most games I own are for the PS2 and I no longer have a PS2.. sold most of my xbox games along with my xbox and now I'm down to maybe 20 games on PC. Don't have enough I'd say 
Oh god yes, so much. Currently I have 93 games in my Steam library. I have probably put in game time for about 1/3 of those games. Unlike assumptions that others have made in this thread, I am dying to play every single game in my inventory, so I picked them all up for next to nothing during the sales. My situation was a little unique, I went on about a two year long hiatus from gaming due to a living situation I don't want to go into. Now that I am back into gaming, I am going back to all the games that I wanted to play but missed during that time frame.
So yeah, there aren't any games in my inventory that I don't have an intention of playing and enjoying the heck out of at some point (ok, maybe just a few from bundle deals). But I am also a completionist where I want to be satisfactorily completed with a game before I move onto the next one in my backlog.
In terms of selecting which game to play next, for me there is really no rhyme to my madness. It really comes down to what mood I am at the time. I have a nice cross section of genres, so it just boils down to what I feel like playing. Though when I own a franchise, like Assassin's Creed, I lump my playthrough of each title close together. I don't play them one right after the other so that I don't get burnt out, but close enough where the storyline is still fresh in my mind.

Nope I'll get around to them eventually even if it is a years from now. Besides there will be a dry period of games so it's perfect to keep me entertained. Also I know the games I buy will work in the distant future so I don't have to finish them before servers go down or anything.
Hoooo boy yuppers.
I buy too much stuff on sale and often don't get around to actually playing the stuff I do get so I get longer stuff and end up playing that and then I have like 20 shorter games just sitting there mocking me. It's annoying.

I've never really gone crazy in terms of games I buy. At most, I've only ever had 3-5 games unfinished at a time. In those cases, I'll generally follow one of two methods:
1. The shorter games go first. This just gives me the opportunity to get through as many games as possible before I start investing a lot of time in them. It makes me feel less like I just wasted money knowing I'm getting through them all.
2. I start with the ones I want to play most, though I don't play them each separately. I'll probably play one and play another the next time I'm on. Over time, the better games just take over my time. It gives me the chance for me to make sure I play the better games and if any ever got left out then it would be the ones that are most likely to be disappointments.
Of course, in these situations I don't continue buying games. It's just a waste of money to keep buying games and not play them, even if they are on sale.

yes due to steam and gog sales, especially gog at the moment, well let's say 10 rpg games for a fiver means an instant buy even if it takes months or years to get round to playing them. Still as long as I keep to a monthly budget it's ok. In regards to order, well depends on my mood and sometimes if I start to feel burned out with 1 game I'll play a different one for a bit...that reminds me still haven't finished twilight princess yet, really should.
The more depressing thought I have is when I don't feel like playing any of the games I own...I need to get out more...

Definitely I've had to put most of my pc gaming on hold so i could catch up on my PS3 backlog. Unfortunately due to this years steam summer sale my back list will only grow for the pc.
I currently working on Kens Rage 2, Uncharted 1 and The Mass Effect Trilogy. After i get through those I'll still have Alan Wake and Shadowrun Returns on the PC to Finish.

It feels that way with PS+. DeusEX:HR, Xcom, and couple of PSN games. Then I've been meaning to go back to Bioshock Infinite, and Last of Us. Then I have some good humble bundle games that I've bought on a whim. So yeah, definitely.
I'm currently playing FarCry3 which I bought 4 - 5 months ago and just got around to playing it last week. I'm going for 100% because it turns out that I really like the game. Will probably take me a month at this pace before I move on.

I'm pretty much in the situation in that picture. I've got a Steam account with something like $6,000 worth of games on it (though with the number of games I've bought on severe sales, I probably only spent about $4,000), and I'm almost certainly never going to play a significant portion of them. It's disappointing, because I never buy a game that I'm not definitely interested in playing, but I'll buy it then get distracted by real life or something I never tried in a different game, etc, etc until it just never happens.shapaza said:
I've got a steam library of around 150 games or something like that. Honestly not interested in playing the majority of em. I wish Steam had some sort of give away or trade in option
Nah, I still have one wall not covered in "to-play" games... If that gets covered, the walls will start closing in...
Oh, and those don't count the games for older systems in the next room.
