Too many games, too little time

[steamweedlegoblin]

Over the years I have gathered quite a collection of games, many of which I only play for a short while before a newer game distracts me and draws me in. I always mean to go back and finish games that I never completed, but I hardly ever do. Does anyone else ever feel like there's just too many games you want to play, but not enough time to play them?

Oh, you're talking to the right person. I work full time. I also recently acquired a whole ton of SANDBOX games for a very low sum of money (there was a special on, they were a quarter price). I have like 4 or 5 incomplete games sitting next to my Xbox.

No =3. I am very picky when it comes to games, and those I like I always get to finish. I have never seen a game that I wanted but couldn't have. I do, however, tend to buy some games cause people say they are good, and find out I think its crap. That annoys me...

Happened to me once, Then I just quit gaming entirely. Well, my little brother has Modern Warfare2. I play that everynow and then whenever i go home.

I'm currently encountering this predicament, but I almost always get around to finishing them. I still need to beat (just looking at my games list): Metro 2033, Farcry 2, FEAR, Dragon Age: Awakening, Just Cause 2, Penumbra: Black Plague, Spellforce 2, and Torchlight.

The only ones I don't care to beat are Farcry 2 and FEAR.

I still play Just Cause 2 and Dragon Age Awakening occasionally I just need to put in the hours, which I can't do thanks to work. A similar issue is arising with Metro 2033 and Penumbra: Black Plague, and it's eve harder for me to find time to play them, because it needs to be dark outside for me to get immersed into them.

Spellforce 2 and Torchlight will probably wait until the midsummer game release slump to be beaen, but I still intend to beat them. I just plan on beating my other games first, and I also plan on getting and beating Alan Wake, Alpha Protocol, maybe Splinter Cell Conviction, maybe God Of War 3, maybe Neir, and maybe other games I can't think of right now. Regardless, I will beat them all eventually, unless they truly are too dull to play, like FEAR and Farcry 2.

For the moment I have these titles in pocession but unfinished:

Mass Effect
Grim Fandango
Deus Ex
System Shock (If I ever can get it to work)
System Shock 2
Doom 1, 2 & 3
Quake 2
Starcraft
Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow/Chaos Theory/Double Agent
Unreal
God of War
Killzone
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Far Cry 2

All in all, a hefty sum of 18 unfinished games and with so little time. Talk about a Developed Country problem

 

[The Spectator]

Yes, I know exactly how you feel. I worked everyday for the last 4 weeks. It's even worse that I have a nightjob, which means I wake up for a few hours, go to work, go home and go to sleep. And most of the games I have on queue are usually 30-50 hours long.

Fortunately I have two weeks of vacation from next, which will be dedicated to gaming. =D

*looks at stack of unfinished JRPGs*

Yeah. I know the feeling.

I've actually played all the main FF titles. And the only ones I got to the ending for was 13. Once you get that airship...You kinda get sidetracked.

I have 168 games in my collection, with my total goal being 500+ titles. I've beaten maybe 20 so far.

 

[Spaceman_Spiff]

I'm the opposite I have no new games and ample time, I haven't bought a new game in a while, mainly down to the fact I have no money.
