The problem with having too many games

Admittedly, its one of the nicer problems to have...

Who here has so many games that they spend more time choosing which one to play next than actually playing them?

Ive been dithering for days over whether to go for the older GRAW2 or maybe bioshock 2 or dead space. If I had started it back then I would have been on 700 achievement points by now and probably completed it.

Indecision sucks...

Sometimes I get this problem especially whenI have beaten all my games. The worst is when I get too ahead of myself and buy like three games at a time. ThenI have these new games and am very indecisive about what to play.

The problem for me is, I never finish any game.

LOL, I have this EXACT same problem! A few years ago, I went on a spending rampage and bought a bunch of PS2 and a few Xbox games because they were pretty cheap by now. Now, I have about 50 games, and I have trouble deciding which ones I want to play. I try to find greatest PS2 games of all time lists and play them in that order. Or...I'll play them in the order of their Gamerankings rating. But like you, I think I spend more time deciding which game to play than actually playing the games themselves.

I discovered this problem a couple years back. I only buy genre-defying games or games from my favorite developers now. Once you've figured out what you like you can narrow the selection of games quite a bit.

Im actually quite glad Im not the only one with this deciding problem!

In the end I decided to go for Tomb Raider Underworld. I weighed up the choices and eliminated the following games:

1) Bioshock 2 - its is still in its special edition wrapping and I really dont want to break into it yet!

2) GRAW 2 - looking REALLY dated now. As Ive just come off uncharted 2 recently, I will save this one when my graphics expectations are lower!

3) Dead Space - Too scary for now, I need to man up a bit before I play this

Just started playing Tomb Raider and I have to say its a really refreshing change. The first few 'cave' and water levels are really quite breathtaking and gripping.

This used to be the problem for me with PS2. I bought 14 games in 2 weeks. Didn't know what to play. Then I got a PS3 which solved the problem because I can't be bothered to plug my PS2 back in. I'm now VERY picky with my PS3 games because they cost £40.

Well, have that problem since I came across a lot of deals lately. I've recently bought Hitman Blood Money, Persona 4, God Hand, Red Dead Redemption (which I've completed), Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Super Street Fighter IV and a fight pad for Street Fighter IV in the past four weeks. This is a bit different from a few months before when I didn't have a part time job so I'd buy a new game about once a month.

I need to hold off on game shopping for a while.

When i finish a game i can never decide if i should play something similar like the same genre or if i should just play something totally different.

I dont y it just does my head in :P

I too have this problem.

my problem is I literally don't have the time ATM to play too many games, what with work and exams and socialising. there's been a couple of new releases I really want, so I reckon I'll hold off for now and then just go crazy when I finally have some decent free time.

of course, if you wanna send some of those extra games to me, I won't put up a fight.

I have PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii. I never bother with the Wii. I used to keep my games library to about 10-15 games at all times. But, now my collection has blown out and I have this problem more frequently haha.

Of the latest games I have RDR, Alan Wake, UFC 2010, Blur and Alpha Protocol. I was looking forward to Alan Wake the most but most of my game time is going to AlphaProtocol which is a game I really didn't anticipate and I mix it upby playing some GRID.

I really do love having games on hand that cover all the big genres so when I am in the mood for a particular genre I have a few choiceson hand to get my fix.I just love gaming!

WhoaI just realised that I haven't touched Just Cause 2 for a few now!So many games want my attention!!!

Well, for me, I usually pick up the latest high-profile game (right now, MNR, but SMG2 is next) on release date, play it to death, then dig into my backlog of about 14 different PS3 games. It is SUCH a hard choice, becaue I've got InFamous, Uncharted 2, GRAW2, Bad Company 1, Crack In Time, Burnout Paradise, etc...

gah, I'll just stick with MNR until I have enough for SMG2.

Pick one, finish it, then go to the next.btaylor2404

I always say I have too many games, but I just do because I spend so much time on one game at once, and usually pick up games many years after I first get them.

Anyway I think too many games is better than too few :D

i dont buy to many games. i play one game till i beat it and then by a new one. that being said im behind in games. (planning to by Motorstorm 2 after i finish FF13)
