Overwhelmed with Games

[Quaidis]

Has anyone received (or purchased) so many games that they were overwhelmed with all the un-played potential? If so, which types of games did you start with? The slow ones or the quick ones? Or do you start with a specific genre? Perhaps you play more than one game at the same time? Do you start with the newer or older game? Share your stories and the outcome to your battle for 'which game gets played first?'


These are the games I'm sitting on right now:

Zelda: Skyward Sword (currently playing, as it is made of awesome-sauce)
Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip
Rune Factory: (latest edition)
Ninja Town
Solatorobo
Final Fantasy: 4 Heroes of Light
Super Meat boy
Aquaria
Few other indy games I got from a bundle a friend bought me
Tales of the Abyss (PS2)
Xenosaga (also ps2)


In the future I intend to buy Xenoblade on top of all that.

And my sister also lent me her copy of the third Ace Attorney game, which I only recently started on the side.


So if you've never experienced an over-whelming pile of videogames, or you wish to be helpful, you're additionally welcome to help me decide a general order or system to get through all of these. (On the by, I fully intend to beat Zelda before jumping into the sea of graphical excitement.)

Yep. I actually find it really stressful.

Which I guess could be filed under "First World Problems".

I have the opposite problem - there's nothing for me to play. I'm waiting for King Arthur 2, Kingdoms of Amalur and Mass Effect 3, but since I burned out on Skyrim there hasn't been much for me to do. Oh, games have come out, sure, but nothing that I'm particularly interested in. I don't like Batman, so Arkham City is pointless for me, I don't buy Ubisoft games so Anno 2070 is off the table, as is AssCreed: Revelations. LA: Noire and Saint's Row 3 aren't exactly my cup of tea and I have zero interest in whatever the current FPS Of The Month is.

I've basically been poking through a few indie games (Bastion, Trine 2, Orcs Must Die), but while these are great they are also over really fast. I'm stuck waiting for something to come out. The only thing that's out and that I'd like to play is The Old Republic, but that's out of the question at the moment since the game hasn't come out in my country yet and I'm not quite sure I want to commit financially to an MMO at the moment.

All in all, I'm bored as all hell!

That's rather upsetting. When I am on the opposite end of the issue, like you are currently, I tend to be inventive and reach out on a limb. I'll borrow games from friends, for example. Or buy a cheap older title with an interesting cover. Or I ask the game employee of an interesting, out there game. A game I will not have some outward problem with or preconceived notions of. Then I can enjoy something fresh. And this usually helps out indy or lesser-known developers as well.

I've just finished my second play through of Skyrim and gone straight into Dragon's Age Origins (christmas prezzy) I bought LA Noire and Deus Ex HR in the sales which are still sat there, waiting to be played. I also want a couple of run throughs of Mass Effect 1 and 2 before the 3rd is release (long story short, new 360, memory transfer went wrong, only have two shepherds)
